How Moon Girl Destroys Gentrification

- In this episode I talk about the latest episode of Moon and Devil Dinosaur that tackles the subject of Gentrification. This is not something you expect disney of all companies to discuss at all so I wanted to go over how it handles the issue.

Moon Girl brought an very important subject when it comes to Gentrification. Do you think it handled the topic well?
Um dude can you shut up?, I'm trying to watch the video ❤
The grand majority of ''woke'' cartoons do. It's one of the reasons the Alt-Right feel the need to fight them. They're scared of the fact that the ideals of the past no longer matter to the world at large.
Gotta love them explicitly stating that the muzzlers were gentrifying the LES. There’s a time for metaphors but sometimes that can be a way to provide plausible deniability for a message. Owning the position with your whole chest takes way more courage.
Throughout the episode all I saw how the science couple forced change on the people of Les like what Americans did to the native Americans a long time ago
Absolutely. It shows in a beautifully forthright, yet subtle way how gentrification is essentially a force of white supremacy and capitalism, which have always been intricately linked in America.
It takes advantage of existing economic inequality, and promises to pump wealth into the community, but really they're just annexing territory for corporate gains and suburbs, as white supremacist capitalism is wont to do.
I also love how they give a hopeful message about how the ultimate weapon against this parasitic encroachment is for the community to come together and assert its right to self-governance and autonomy.
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! Take the Power Back! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
One part I particularly enjoyed is how they tackled people in power being complicit - in this case, the Mayor felt hesitant to back out of the deal because he didn't want to admit he had indirectly done all of this damage to his own community by allowing the Mufflers to gentrify it. It's only when Moon Girl rallied up the community that the Mayor gained the courage to join them.
Yeah Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is a subtlety based show. Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur may be exceptional, but their real power comes from inspiring community solidarity and empowering the masses against the ruling classes.
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
But to be fair, Diego didn't know what Marcy and Marty were actually planning for the LES back when they approached him, just like Lunella.
@@dork7546 true but when he saw he still could’ve backed out but still didn’t want too for the reasons above I don’t blame him at all I’d probably be the same way but he is at fault a little bit.
@@chainsawboy2388 Guess it's because he already accepted their money and probably, also already invested it in something by the time he realized they were planing to gentrify the LES, so he couldn't pay them back. But they're in S.H.E.I.L.D's custody now so he probably doesn't have to worry about this anymore, lol.
All the ends sequences are golden but the Muzzlers *literally* stealing the voices of the community and forcing them into that monotone void, only for the community to push back and be heard in any way possible until they couldn’t be ignored,
Now that’s what we call
✨🌕 Moon Girl Magic 🌕✨
Hahaha very funny 😂😂
That was pretty amazing.
Loved it!!-
There’s one thing I really can’t forgive the episode for…
Devil didn’t get any protest swag!!! They covered him in glitter before he could’ve got some paint splashes to match Moon Girl 😩
white moon girl in the thumbnail is fucking cursed lmaooo
What I really love so much about animation aiming at children is how its pushing further into these kind of topics that people thought its only something for adults to discuss and debate about. We see more shows present LGBTQIA+ representation, trauma, racism, etc., because the fact that kids are smarter than they look and knows what is wrong in this world and want to make things better. Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur go further with that episode about gentrification, along with another one about Black Girls hair, and maybe more to come and they did it in the best way they can.
I’m glad that animation is addressing these topics more.
I may be based as conservative, but I totally agree with the loving vibe of this show
Yeah, that's something a lot of superhero shows forget, the people that live there. The townspeople are usually absent or just dumbed down like Townsville in Powerpuff Girls.
It's episodes like this that really remind me how much this is gonna resonate with and empower black kids especially, and that makes me smile.
As someone previously unfamiliar with the term "gentrification" it's so interesting to me how what u describe it as and what it's described as in a wikipedia article r 2 completely different processes. Wikipedia describes it as "new people moving into backwater neighbourhoods of the city, renovating it, restoring it, making it attractive to tourists and increasing quality of life there", which r all good things. And I guess this would be good, had the newcomers respected the traditions of those who already live in there. And I like how the show basically explains that. But what u r describing (and what ended up happening in the show) feels less like "new people move in and make the economy more stable" and more like "a corporation suddenly takes interest in a real estate in the neighbourhood and ruins everyone's life to get it". And despite the fact that I'm unfamiliar with the term, I'm very familiar with such situations. I live in Kyiv and on a square near my home there used to be a line-up of small stands with various bussinesses. Coffee shops, hand-made, barber shops etc. I never used them but I always saw people hanging out there shopping. I always thought they could use some decorations, but I could see the usefullness they brought to others. Actually no, our family did buy fish from a stand there. It was a fine fish for a price like nowhere else. But then 1 day when I went to catch a tram to school I saw that all those stands were demolished. Only a bunch of plastic and glass was left behind. But the worst part was that the shop owners weren't even allowed to save their goods before it happened, so among the ruins there lied strings, needles, toys, pieces of equipment etc. A truly depressing picture. Now there's a bussiness center and a small green zone with a fountain on that square. I used to enjoy that fountain and the bussiness center looks pretty cool, but I can't stop thinking abt all the people who owned those shops or worked there. What happened to them?
That is terrifying
Damn, I'm so sorry that happened to your neighbourhood.
@@yeahshell5166 Thanks. I guess the square is prettier now, but the people who worked there were treated very unfairly and inhumane. I hope they were able to start again somewhere.
I'm glad they aimed the same accurately at this: they put the blame in the corporations that cause the problems. So many people and media fall into trap of just blaming the "hipsters" who choose to live there.
it’s both
@@d3viathan907 how? People have a right to live wherever they want as long as they can afford it
thank you for this.
OMG HARRIYANNA!?!? Never knew I was going to see you there 😭
Hi Harriyanna 👋🏾
Considering how pale Marcy and Marty look, I'm worried conservatives will miss the point of the episode and think "The media is trying to tell us all white people are inherently racist 😡"
Conservatives will miss the point and they won't even watch it
@@carstarsarstenstesenn I doubt they're racist. They just hate neighborhoods like that.
every human are racist
Gonna be real I thought they were Asian
Conservatives willfully miss the point on this type of thing all the time, so don't worry about them. Use your energy to enpower and educate the people, so we can fight and take our power back ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
Something I also noticed was Beyonder introducing Marcy and Marty from the get-go, which typically happens after the villain gets screentime. Even the Beyonder makes it clear that they’re the bad guys from the moment they arrive.
Reviews like this have me wish Moom Girl wasn't a Disney+ exclusive- it seems like a wonderful show that covers serious topics, without letting that bring down the energy of the show. I believe the show's by the Rise of the TMNT crew, and I love seeing the comiclike looks carry on. Plus, symbolism of sound- I love that.
It’s currently airing on Disney channel an hour on Saturdays also. From what I can tell they haven’t been running that many slots yet.
It isn't. But it may become one or at least something like that, since it seems to be doing better on Disney+.
@@juanrisa945 Where else is it viewable?
@@cosmicspacething3474 A few episodes are on UA-cam.
I also love this episode for how Moon Girl relies on and uses the community. The idea of her using noise to defeat the villain speaks a lot since it is noise politics that is used by protesters especially those of black and brown communities to disrupt the business of those in power like politicians or capitalist. The use of noise speaks to a deeper idea within the series which is that music has deep cultural resonance for black and latinx communities because of it's historical ties to expression even as that expression is criminalized at different points. Finally, I like that it also speaks to the racial dynamics at play here. It's making a subtle statement about how minority communities get coded as loud whereas white communities are quiet and peaceful; Although when you see it through the eyes of the people being affected it is unjust because their expression is being policed.
I'm really happy and proud of the crew for this show not sugarcoating these subjects. This episode, the hair one. It's an incredibly strong start. It's really filling the static shock shaped hole in my heart
Makes sense this episode tackled gentrification that way. At least two creatives lived in NYC during times of gentrification.
Very interesting how they're shown pretty explicitly as tech bros. The way I've seen a lot of cities go is to make themselves prime real estate for tech companies, at the cost of not just existing industries, but mostly at the expense of local citizens. Look at how big the bidding war was for american cities to try and draw the new amazon HQ to their city was, massive tax breaks and land grants for amazon with little to no revenue actually going to the city, and without much actually going towards the citizens. It's even worse with cities trying to be "innovation centers" like silicon valley. Most startups are probably going to crash and burn, and even the ones that work well have no real product, no real impact on the local community. Sure, it's a consequence of our highly financialized economy, especially here in new york, but the idea that these startups will be our salvation is becoming more and more prevalent among the powerful. This sort of situation doesn't only happen here, it's gonna be more and more prevalent as long as our economy stays this way.
The powerful are digging their own grave.
The episode really did it right and it was really good.
I really need to get on this show. I’ve been seeing nothing but praise for it, and I love the vibes I’ve seen from the clips of it
It’s definitely worth the watch
Same. I’ve been seeing it everywhere and it actually makes me want to watch it more? It usually doesn’t go like that with me😂
I first heard of the word from Tuca and Bertie when The Moss was a landlord etc, I was very confused by what the character called a ‘gentrificaters’ meant. She had matcha cupcakes and I love matcha so I thought I was one since I didn’t know what the word meant.
I loved how they did the scene where the Muzzlers literally take away the voices of the community, it was literally disturbing and upsetting! I was in a room alone with headphones in, so when it went quiet it went QUIET. Then when the community fights back and the music returns it felt amazing! Moon Girl Magic
It's one thing to fix up a fence it's another thing to kick out the person that owns the fence
I fucking LOVE this episode. Been listening to The Wave on repeat for a week.
This show is phenomenal, really. Takes complex social problems, and makes them easy to digest and fun.
We literally talked about Gentrification a little bit in one of my college classes today, March 24th, 2023.
It really a surprise? Marty's voiced by Chip Whistler.
Best thing I saw about gentrification is a tumblr post of someones neighbor doing the opposite.
Said neighbor keeps the rent and land prices down by regularly firing their gun into the sky at night.
Man, it seems like I've only missed 2 episodes of this: Goodnight, Moon Girl & Like Mother, Like Moon Girl.
I know that the second one is the one he's talking about.
They did it better than the proud family remake
This actually happening in LES right now, i grew up in Houston street we have an amazing community but now its slowly dying hotels new apartments and bars expensive food chains are taking over
Oh that episode! Your analysis and remembering what happened in that episodes makes more sense. I think they handled it well
this video ACTUALLY HELPS me DISCOVER and LEARN about GENTRIFICATION and its impact and that ACUALLY MAKES IT EASY TO ENJOY WHILE I'M WATCHING IT TOO
when you said one of your favourite things about the show was the sense of community... felt my man, very much felt. i adore the community in this show & its really nice to see in a world where lots of people don't really have that sense of community
For a second I thought the Mullers were going to be revealed to be Skrulls or some other alien invaders. 👽
There’s some weird lack of self awareness going on here, glad they did this
Omg this episode was the absolute best! I love it when people fight for their rights! And the music, Omg, so good!
in Australia Melbourne became more of a tourist hot spot thanks to insane amounts of graffiti, our countrys relies on alot of tourism money so :D
Great video as usual dude.
This is one of the episodes that I had this slightly skimmed through because the villains get on my nerves everything else was fantastic I love the rest of the episode maybe it's because I've actually met villains like those. Or watch the news too much I mean they are slightly more human than Mark Zuckerberg who I swear is that Android! Built by an alien race that has no concept of emotional displacement. But yeah this screams exactly what corporate CEO's are like which is not understanding how money works, purposely putting out products that are terrible, and finally the real reason why I say gentrification is just a new word for the word corporate ghost town because they were doing everything they can to make sure that nothing stays! I mean they wanna get rid of the roller ring and cut out all the music that towns like somebody who has not even understand the concept of living in a neighborhood I live out in the boonies and I know what it sounds like with music and pop sounds! And half of these gentrification people always want to make tourist towns without understanding in the big budget that comes from tourists is hotels which you don't have in your gentrification design 95% of the time, with the atmosphere of a restaurant where people can sit and talk with the locals and get to know the culture you know the thing that people go to vacations to enjoy not to see mark zuckerberg's attempt to understand human interaction. Again listening to the news kind of helps but yeah I love the episode.
Huh, how very interesting, it’s good to know that this Show is doing well, i wonder what kind of Episodes we can expect next? What would you like to see next?
Also, what is Gentrification exactly? I don’t know if i’ve heard of it or not.
As someone whose experienced living in neighborhood that has been gentrified and has looked over the economic aspect of it, it is certainly a mixed bag. On one hand, neighborhoods/districts targeted for gentrification are provided better funding, initiatives designed to make streets cleaner and safer, and overall helps businesses within the district by making the place more appealing to visit. However, the biggest issue comes with housing, and the supply/demand shift that potentially affects the community within these areas. Then it's further exasperated by increased local taxes from the initial funding, causing property values to increase, thus increasing rent and home prices. This eventually displaces the local community, including businesses that can't keep up with these new costs. I have seen some methods of mitigating this issue, especially in New York (though they're obviously not good at it), where they will subsidize new housing units (condos, apartments and townhouses) with the promise that they set aside a portion of them for low income buyers/renters.
As I mentioned, it's not perfect, and unfortunately we've found ourselves in a trend that can't be stopped for the most part. Cities years back were far more populated with your average working class family, with wealthier folks living in the edges (the suburbs) or further out. It's just recently that we seem to have a larger uptick of young professional, most upper-middle/low-upper class, moving into these cities. All in all, as much as it's easier to point at larger corporate entities driving out small communities, it's more accurate to say that it's multiple economic forces driving these changes. Simply put, everybody wants to live in the city (either by changes in generational desires or convenience), big companies understand that so they move their assets to these cities, the cities get a boost of money and begin improving local neighborhoods, and then things consequentially get more expensive.
This shows artstyle is gorgeous. This video really convinced me to check it out
Fr
I still haven't seen that episode, but I was intrigued about this gentrification thing.
Tbh gentrification usually gets me mad, since a lot of people from other countries dare to como to my country (I'm from Mexico) and force everyone to adapt to them instead of doing it the other way. The worst? Whitexicans (people from Mexico that have more money than the average) support these people and make less the majority of the people, saying things like "well if you don't agree with it, work for it! Stop complaining, you lazy dude, and work for it!" Oh yeah, of course I wanna work more than what it's supposed, not getting paid extra hours, making enough for survival while my area is slowly rising prices to adapt to the new outsiders :D
11:15 that's ACTUALLY MEANINGFUL to see and also enjoyable too by chance too
Hmm I never heard of that word before but Moon Girl and Devil Dinosuar is a very cool show
Great video
I used to live in a suburb outside of Chicago near the woods. after moving I came back to visit and saw how they basically modernized the neighborhood I felt like it was gentrification but in the sense it was becoming mini chicago.
Bro I have no idea how I haven’t seen this show before but I’m gonna go watch it now 🤔
Boyz in The Hood talks about this too
I hope about an episode where lunella fights Ultron and they discuss the topic of the beauty of diversity against the oppressing harmony brought by being the same in every aspect.
Like something like this.
Lunella" you think you can convert all people into machines to bring unity? That's not unity, it is forcing everyone into following what you think it's right! The world needs diversity, it is beautiful and makes us who we are!"
Ultron " you speak of the same diversity that causes conflicts and wars, the two of us are fighting because we are different. Mankind doesn't know how to handle diversity, you are ready to tear each other apart simply because one says right and the other left and then you hipocritically complain about the chaos!, You want order and freedom but you cannot balance the two. Why do you think crime exists? Some of you are so obsessed with their own freedom that they claim even the one that belongs to the others."
Lunella"I never said that diversity was easy and neither is unity for that matter, but one doesn't have to compromise the other so much, we can be different and still have harmony accept each other as individuals and grow by confronting ourselves with other people. you are a smart artificial intelligence I am a smart human being, can't you see what we could do by working together while appreciating and learning from our differences instead of fighting?.
Lunella extends a hand. Ultron think for a moment but then point a his laser hand at her. "I'll never choose your chaos over order"
it's a really Great series
I did not even knewed what was gentrification before this
mexican here this is also happening at border towns where people from USA gets even Full blocks because the houses and costs is lower or to turn them in airbnb just to rent while the people from mexico are getting more harder to get a house to with the dificulties of being living in the country
So.... I hate to play a game of Devil's Advocate but how much do you guys wanna bet that we're going to be seeing MG&DD getting cancelled after it's second season since they're starting to talk about these kinda topics and it's starting to get popular?
This isn't the first time we've seen this happen and with this being Disney... Look if I can be honest I LOVE Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur I think the show is one of Disney's best and they clearly know what they're doing...but at the same time with Disney being the way they are with animation right now... I wouldn't be surprised if MG&DD fell under the same curse as other Disney animated cult favorites as it gets axed off too soon... I'd love to be proven wrong but I dunno what do you guys think?
I hope that the executives feel like Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur fits the “brand”. It’s a great show! I hope Disney doesn’t screw it up too much.
It's hard to guarantee your show's future when it's not a consistent top seller, even doing fine often doesn't cut it, Star vs the Forces of Evil and Howl House were both pretty popular but they just cut them short because they don't make the same money stuff like the MCU does, and unlike anime they refuse to commit to the investment that would make them far more profitable as if it can't be done even though Anime proved time and time again that animation franchises can compete with box office juggernauts, companies are very risk averse so they'll get rid of anything that isn't guaranteed to make billions for years to come, the social commentary might scare them because they fear it could turn people off, but even shows that play it extra safe aren't safe from early cancellation.
Hopefully after the Owl house fiasco they’ll be more hesitant to pull the plug, the visibly did seem to regret cancelling that show after how many views it got for its ‘season’ 3 premier
My Generation had Static Shock, and I'm glad this generation gets to grow up with this
gentrification is what's happening to Redmond, Oregon.
Just watched this ep
I honestly thought the villains were laid on a bit thick, but I understand that the word trying to portray the idea that this is too good to be true, and that these gentrification forces seem too perfect at first. I can also tell that there is some anime influence with how the characters act, and how self indulgent they are. I guess using this exaggerated image gets the point across about gentrification without needing to be completely realistic. They still cover the points that they are trying to cover. And for a long time, my main perception about gentrification was that it makes the cost of living on affordable for those who already lived there, and the only people who can afford it now are the richer people that move in. But this episode made it clear That this is a cultural thing as well. Yes, if you couldn’t tell from that last statement, I don’t have a lot of firsthand experience with gentrification. Interestingly, I do work for a natural food company that tries to be the better example. We want to improve how things are done, but we don’t want to ruin what is already there. In fact, we try to support local vendors wherever we go, but of course we aren’t going to support something unhealthy. We try to be an asset to every community that we enter.
Maybe there might be hope for the future
I absolutely love the Beyonder.
I'm not a big fan of songs but this show made me fan of a song god how is that even possible i don't even know and the animation is good no one will not agree with that i want to be animator the show is making me wanna do it now
Nice.
Damn.. that's dark
This shit is happening in many big cities and is one of the reasons why homelessness is such a big problem, and the really fucking high housing prices.
Guess Zaslav is gentrifying WBD
I think it can be summed up as _"You want things to improve, but at the same, don't want anything to change"_
Things can't improve unless changes are made, but most people against gentrification are against the very concept, and thus those neighborhoods tend to stay downtrodden, crime ridden, and destitute. Alot of people say that the culture in those areas are worth preserving, but as anyone who has studied the progression of culture can tell you, not all cultural norms are beneficial or worth preservation, for instance the Ancient Chinese attitude that they were the center of the universe and the best at everything lead them to isolating themselves and eventually got them conquered by Western Powers
While other nations, such as Japan, Scotland & Ireland studied what successful cultures were doing and made massive changes to accommodate, which at times did in fact include gentrification. Even modern day Paris is the result of a massive city wide Gentrification Project by Emperor Nepoleon III, which majorly improved both the architecture, sanitation and the quality of life in Paris
But the people living in the LES don't seem to want do anything to improve their neighborhood, but rather just complain about the problems it faces, for instance, in the Pilot, everybody complains about the blackouts, but nobody seems to try and do anything about it, not even just buying some back-up generators so that they can run their events or keep their businesses running, instead they just sit around whining while insisting that noone wants to help them
You know for a logic meister you really didn’t use any logic here.
@@Mannof1000Thoughts Let me put it simply then, they don't wanna do anything to improve their crappy neighborhood, thus making them vulnerable to outside forces
@@logicmeister1821 Again you’re still not using any logic here.
@@Mannof1000Thoughts Okay then, explain the failings
Gentrification isn’t about improving. It’s about about displacement. With big changes, are bigger costs. Poor neighborhoods can “improve”. The poor people don’t suddenly improve with it. When big business comes in, small businesses close down. When fancy building go up, poor buildings go down and so do the people inside who can’t afford the new rent. Who asked for those changes? No one! They were fine with their small businesses and affordable buildings. People have simple requests, such as fixing the blackouts (which is the responsibility of the government to fix, which is why they are voicing their concerns instead of taking time out of their busy tax-paying day to fix it themselves), but completely redoing the neighborhood ISN’T the solution. Fixing things a little at a time is. Supporting small business. Using those funds to address the issues that the neighborhood brings up. When people talk about the “culture” it means their way of life is now obsolete in that neighborhood. Imagine the buildings you to go every day are torn down, possibly even your place of work. Your hobbies are also viewed as odd now when it was once widely accepted.
Considering culture and adding a few things at a time is good, but it rarely happens. Gentrification is the process of wealthy people radically changing neighborhoods, often making it conform to what they want it to look like, which attracts other wealthy people. That’s not to say there aren’t benefits. Crime rates go down in gentrified neighborhoods! Good? No. That’s because they forced people out so the crime rate went up somewhere else. Literally nothing was solved, the “problem” was just moved. You can’t rapidly improve neighborhoods without casualties. That’s what’s being complained about when people talk about gentrification.
Quick fixes don’t exist, and not all change is good. Also, 10,000 Parisians have left Paris every year for the last 10 years, and there is a huge homelessness crisis.
Marcy Muzzler is very gorgeous.
Vietnam and it’s people r also raised with a strong sense of community and we’ve dealt with outside forces that try to snuff us out too and our legends and history testify to that: Lac Long Quan and Au Co defending the people from monsters and teaching them to farm, fish, build, etc, Thanh Giong, the Trung sisters, Le Loi and Lady Trieu rallying armies and resistance against invaders, even resistance and adaptation to colonialism
I was wondering what that word ment
Glad this video helped a little, I'd suggest doing research on the subject to better understand how deep it goes
This is what is being taught in schools (mostly just college classes and a select few high school classes)
@@joshjo9405 It's not, gentrification isn't in any primary schools curriculum, non-college students would be lucky enough to find out about red- lining
@@joshjo9405 What schools are you referring to?
@@Mrcleanfrfr That's why I said a select few high school classes, it's quite rare for it to be talked about there, it's mostly in ethnic studies classes and that kind of class really isn't widespread in terms of attendance. It might be on purpose tho since schools can just brush it aside using "limited budget" as an excuse.
I felt weird lunellas mom never moon girl rather assuming she agreed and enforcing it since the muzzles and the mayor only wanted to use lunella as mascot rather give her any authority something lunellas mom and the people miss understood.
Anyone else think those 2 came from strex corp?
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur from Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 got their own show?! lol
what is gentrification?
Essentially white-washing a culture, or erasing a culture to make it more appealing to outsiders of a community, usually white outsiders
Re-making a part of a town or city that is seen as “lesser” have a new “value”. The defintion and ideas are ussualy nice with things like tourism in mind BUT It ussualy comes at the cost do the livelihood and homes of milions who uses to live there, that are ussualy of a smaller income or part of minority groups.
Explain to me why season 2 was not released 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 episode moon girl it passed on June 19 what you promised Wikipedia Not said
Well what black or white, tan or brown everyone lovey to help to speak up
Comment boost
Does this mean that there is racism in moon girl?
Yeah, it does…There’s been multiple episodes that directly/indirectly bring up racism.
They have an episode about hair and talk how many call curly hair unprofessional and so on. It didn’t say the word but is a part of racism.
I’m literally talking about this episode. is there any racism in the 11th episode. I recall being, Like moon girl, like mother.
@@chockymlk6016well it’s more of displacement and allowing outsiders coming in to change the neighborhood, the muzzlers do have make some racially motivated comments when they drop their facade towards the end but not really
Gentrification is a natural process in the housing market when housing becomes too expensive for people. If you want to stop gentrification then protest for changes for the housing market to be fixed and not the very concept of gentrification. Merely protesting gentrification isn’t going to help and isn’t actually fixing the problem and it’ll just move the problem somewhere else.
Twatters: We want black representation.
Moon Girl: Hi! Nice to Me-
Twatters: Oh wow Little Mermaid remake! 🤯 So 😌 Brave 😎 And 🥰 Stunning 💅
She ain’t gon see this Dawg chill
We see both😅
The fuck did they do to flounder
I’m black and this show annoys the hell out of me. Cartoons don’t do it for me anymore.
MANN SPEAKS NOT THINKING😮
A Disney cartoon talks about gentrification, O.m.g.". Bitch please, the pleasure island scene can be read as holocaust, journey to Hell, and more!
Exactly, it can be READ as any of those events. But it’s also far enough away so you can say “noooo it’s just an evil amusement park!” MGandDD is special because it doesn’t dance around the issue. It’s not far enough away to be like “nope, just some wacky villian stuff!” No it is LEGIT Gentrification, no if, ands or buts about it.
@@romantech5319. Does being straight about that, makes it better? It's like in adult vs children shows when someone dies, does seeing them be impaled with sharp objects or bullets and bleeding out make things any more or less horrific then more, creative deaths, like someone turning into Stone and shattering to pieces,blowing up,turning into a block of cheese and definitely devoured by rats,ect? No, because humanity should be smarter than this. The reason I wasn't floored by Shrek for example, is because the movie makes the most obvious jokes imaginablw about Disney, that we're old enough for animaniacs to do!(their pumping out fairy tale musicals in a factory to rake in money,samey heroines,ect,ect) not to mention, it's ultimate massage to pursue your dream even in the face of a society that scoffs at you, and your dreams, rings hollow, when 100% of the Disney renaissance heroes are All about defying the norms of their society(Ariel is interested in the surface and marries a human,Belle is tired of a monotonous existance in her small town and yearns for adventure while everyone else is perfectly comfortable with how and where they are so she's somewhat of a pariah,Aladdin is a street rat who falls for royalty,Tarzan was raised by apes but as human he had a hard time belonging anywhere,ect). Not to mention, people tend to forget that during the Disney renaissance, you could count the number of male leads in One Hand!
oddly a very classical conservative message coming form Disney
(what I mean is to keep things the same, let established traditions and cultures thrive rather than let a "leviathan" control everything for the sake of their view of perfection)
I still think South Park did it better
Gentrification is mid
Sure you could say "white man bad" but like... Scott Adams would hate this episode. Makes you wonder...
This is more about corporations then white people.
Gentrification? What a new word for an old concept of "Tradition vs Progress" there's always a fine line between Do we preserve an old historic building? Or do we put in a new modern one? That conflict has been around in many shows. Fidler on the Roof, Hey Arnold, Recess, Doug, Waltons, Little House, Who Framed Rodger Rabbit, Tiny Toons, etc. With out progress we would still be on the telegraph and the tolly. But over do it and your town looses the nice little touches.
We see it modernly too. The push by Green Energy to tear down old buildings and put up ones that waist less energy. Social Distancing killed a TON of small businesses. So too will the Electric car. But some things we need to change, to let go of. We need Wi-Fi we need computers we need handicap ramps. We need High ways, Magnetic ramps, EZ Pass.
In my Town we have lost farms , we lost small business, we lost movie theaters , all sorts of things. On Line Shopping, Covid, Social Distancing, Shopping from home, Streaming its all killing us. New Malls killed the old Mall. On Line shopping killed the new mall. Toys R us is gone, sears is gone. Movie theaters are closed.
There is some thing to be said for cleaning up your dirty junky Neiborhood. If you love your community, take care of it. When people see a clean building they respect it. When people see a broken window they break more windows. When people see graffiti they make more graffiti.
when people see litter they add more litter. But No one wants to be the 1st to litter.
and respect your history. Sto destroying and burning your works of art out of ignorance.
an other thing about business is if you have a BIG place open everyone drives there. They drive past the smaller places and try to get to the end as fast as possible. if your on the road side between two tourist attractions no one wants to slow down and stop. They want to keep going.
You also have to keep the effort to keep your lots clean and full of weeds and stuff
an other thing that slows down community building is fear of teenagers. A lot of people assassinate teenagers with destructive behavior and they don't want to build some thing just to get it trashed.
We need to teach respect. Respect for bathrooms, walls, other peoples property, art, nature. Too many idiots breaking things trying to get selfies.
if we put the community to work and made them responsible for maintenance we would have better communities. Make it legal for average joes to repair public property if you can't be bothered.
I saw after a hurricane hit the community fixed every thing up not the city. It was nice.
and also we need to stop giving money to other countries and put America 1st Walk among our own people, see issues 1st hand. Not the sanitized show they put own for tours see the real world Make changes and make them last don't put on a front for the cameras. Let places that are not America solve there own problems and make the mayors and governess and senators and vice presidents walk on foot threw South Filly and NY and Chicago
and stop voting against the other party and rejecting them because there not you. Start doing what's right.
and learn that Infostructure means bridges and roads NOT woke ideas. Fixing things is about practicality and doing what's right no about doing the opposite. and having good things in your community, it also means raising taxes or having some other way to raise funds giving your self more money won't help. Give other people money. You want better education, health care, roads etc some one has to pay for it. Or some one has to do the job for less. Stop protesting and start doing. You know what's NOT happening when you picket? Getting jobs done.
Wow. I mean wow. All those words to say absolutely nothing of substance. There’s a mastery at work here. Also you clearly don’t watch the show or know anything about gentrification.
I don't think you got that the scientists were essentially white-washing a black neighborhood to make it more appealing to white people where it didn't need to, taking away the culture and personality of the neighborhood in the process
Too long didn't read.
It sounds like what you're pushing for is getting rid of businesses that already have a place in the market and exist just for profit over the peoples needs, more resources for mental health so people don't take their anger out on public property, more jobs in fields that need the work so no one has time to loiter long enough to cause harm to city infrastructure, this includes giving them ethical working conditions and living wage as to reduce stress as well as updating city infrastructure...these are all woke ideas. There's making a place better, and making a place more expensive, they don't have to be mutually inclusive.
@@DIGITALGH05T another problem is jobs don't take employees. They ask for five or more years prior experience which new workers don't have. Then they make you take a personality test to weed out any one whose not polite and upbeat , they don't offer any on the job training, no apprenticeships, and have a bias to certain genders and body types and they also do the shady practice of heiring people willing to work for less and some places even want you to be healthy or free of drugs, young etc Those who want more money may want to consider self employment. Also being paid more money raises the prices of things we buy. Its also upsetting to see free room and board go to illegal immigrants and criminals and people over seas, and not the homeless and poor. If more places were run like a university, an army base or Disney World we would have clean spaces, house, food, jobs for every one. Prisons have free beds, free food, free health care, free exercise and no taxes. People who come over the boarder get hotels. We could build homes for people with zero income and let them live there and be fed for zero money in exchange for unpaid labor until they are able to save money and move out but we don't do that.
The thing that is wrong with "Woke" ideas is they want to force them on us with no thought of HOW they work. We have Electric Cars but NO charging stations. Solar plants replace forests, spaces that could be used to house humans are sacrificed to house wolves and lions Guns are taken away from us leaving us open to attacks from both man and beast.
Conservative values ignore problems and pretend doing nothing and going back to how it used to be will make life better. They also tell people to work harder, work smarter and make there own money and to stop expecting Government to solve your problems for you We need to acknowledge problems and offer solutions that work that don't take away rights and reward hard work but also make getting work possible.
right now we are burned by a war between two sides who only want what the other side doesn't want. We need to start doing what is clearly right, like NOT raising land value just because the land got "Nicer" and stop complaining that a wind farm "Lowered you land value and made it ugly"
make it illegal to not own a home and illegal not to provide a home All poor propel need is a bedroom and a bathroom and a mailing address. Thats not an expensive thing to give them.
Gentrification is, objectively, a positive. So...
''Obectivley''' money isn't even a real thing it's not a law of physics we are speaking of here.
Please explain how Objectively it is? Sure it can be sometimes I guess but it’s forever and always subjective like 99% of things are.
I hate how this show is "animated". The voices are annoying, but I like the style it has. This show needs a lot more improvements before being worth the money wasted on it.
Also, "gentrification" is not a bad thing. It literally helps bring life blood into a food desert. Moongirl took the wrong action to handle it.
The only people gentrification benefits is the wealthy. “B-but the crime-!!!!!!” is being moved somewhere else. It doesn’t magically disappear because you forced people out of their homes. Quick “fixes” do very little in the long run
Imagine going outside of your house one day and suddenly the neighborhood looks completely different, becomes expensive and then your neighbors you’ve known for a while are replaced by people who have mullets and wear crocs that stare at you like youre the weird one
I watched many Moon girl reviews. After finishing Ducktales, I shall watch this show cuz I almost emptied the disney series box-
