Chaotic neutral.

Nimona — 3/5

Good, well done. Big, epic, but also I've mostly forgotten it. It's a healthy byproduct of Spider-Man breaking through the idea that all animation needs to look the same. But also, I think, it's that Cartoon Network style of humor given perhaps its biggest stage. All those Steven Universes and Teen Titans Go! and the like. I don't know how to describe it, but you can see that paradigm shift of humor — "kids can be depressed, too," anxiety, overly-caffeinated, annoying?, jumping on walls. That's not a bad thing, I love Teen Titans Go! To The Movies, just pointing at it as I think we'll see increasingly more of it as those kids become adults and bring their interests to bear. I am here to call out the shifting tides, friends, as if that means anything to you.
