The e410 fight!! There was supposta be a brawl here with NeZha that got cut down for time (recognize that flip getting reused?) Also there's no audio for Mei 'cause I kinda adlibbed her intro but imagine her yelling "WHAT'S UP CELESTIAL REALMS" in the most bombastic way possible.

Originally we had a chase sequence between Mac, NeZha, and MKing that had to get cut for time (my suggestion, no less)- never made it to anim, but I thought I'd give y'all a little peek at the shot graveyard. Lots of flips and dodges! Yeehaw.

We need to start pushing for terms in our animation contracts that say "I either work until my end date, or get paid out for (x) weeks of work in the event that the show is cancelled." It doesn't fix the emotional damage, but at least people wouldn't be left financially gutted.

A classic battle of the ages. Two monkeys, one giant angry lion with god powers. ...and a mech. And a porty clone. And a cardboard cutout of yet another monkey-- Okay yeah I kinda let things get out of hand on this one, but I was boarding to a DDR song so what did you expect.

I am 100% against AI replacing human artists, but dunking on it for "looking like shit" is a red herring- because one day, it won't. We need to have larger discussions about ethicality and regulation. The "looks like shit" reply is as pointless as "stole your jpg" was to NFTs.

So many people are gonna disagree with this and that's fine, but tbh the best way to get better at boards is to get pencil mileage. Just draw. Draw again and fuck up and learn from the fuckup and keep drawing. Just take a hundred little steps every day. Success is a staircase.
