Sergio dropping truth bombs in this video. Too many studios and companies rely on these same cliches and they don't put the extra work to add more depth.
I Seriously love this channel and everything Sergio said about cliches within animated movies or in movies in general is so spot on, especially dealing with the "strong independent tough badass female characters whose strong cause she can kick ass or just like one of the guys archetype" can be overdone too as well or just be as bad as the stereotypical damsels type stuff. I think its better to just make characters who are well-rounded complex people that have flaws & varied in personalities just like real human beings who aren't just one type of thing only when it comes to who or what they are, there nothing wrong with using tropes or certain cliches as long as you add more to them also put more depth behind them or at least change them up a bit when expanding upon your own ideas.
Seen this reminds me of my years in college. I really love how you share this videos to us, like trying to push us to actually try one day this golden nuggets of wisdom in our own projects. Stay awesome SPA 💪
With very little exception, Miyazaki very consciously avoids depicting morals in a black and white way in his movies. Allegedly, one of the morals he wants to promote is that, simply put, humans are complicated.
@@gabe_s_videos He has stated that he just doesn't enjoy drawing evil people who are simply evil. He has done it before like in Castle in the Sky, but even in that film you have the pirates who start as enemies but up endearing themselves to the heroes eventually.
I've noticed quite a few antagonists from Studio Ghibli films are older women, and basing it off all the movies I've seen, they are all redeemed to some degree by the end. More showing that they had more of a heart than we realised. And yeah, in the end it shows the viewer that humans are complicated and complex, which I personally think is accurate and true to real life.
At least he expose the fact to recognize a villain or a antagonist in a movie there somehow tools or things we use in the character design people just recognize but begin to be stupid by saying: "CLICHÉ, STÉRÉOTYPE, RACISM", or often things from politic and social like if artist were bad person broken rules or ethic things. Amalgame and idiocy appear often just by see a new coming movie cartoon or animated which use cliché or somehow archetypes for built a story and reinvent it in a way or another style. Thats a fact. Art is a science which people just don't understand or don't try to understand why its working this way or is it so costy. The point is a artist say its work, by studying, practice, and using classics methods or style who actually always work since the beginning of the movie industry and the non-verbal langage.

Thank you for publishing these behind the scenes videos!
This channel is so underrated.
Or if you're Miyazaki you make villains also friends sometimes. His villains aren't usually _just_ villains.

@@kakao-katze It isn't even just that all villains have good in them, but that all heroes have darkness in them.
@@Balthazar2242 Like in Princess Mononoke?
This alone is a class!

2:00 The two examples seem to point at: How to train your dragon 2
he's basically calling out Disney on the female cliche. every movie is basically the same shit.
Where is the full speech?!
