So I finally got around to finishing this clip from the Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix audiobook. A lot of people requested Umbridge getting the verbal smack down from Mcgonagall, and I was so eager to animate this. And then half way through, I just stopped. I lost all fire to work, and didn’t want to even look at the scene anymore. But yesterday, I sat down at my computer and did all the animation for mcgonagall in one fell swoop. So… cool.
my favourite thing about this part was that mcgonnagal is implying that even barty crouch jr disguised as mad eyed moody was a more competent DADA teacher than umbridge
what really gets me about ace-attorney-sexy-clown.gif is the suspender snap. that has to hurt. why is she doing that
OK…… WHAT?
oh! those arent her real tits, theyre balloons! theres a gif of her tits popping when you catch her in a lie
holy shit
isn’t she a murderer in that case she’s in?
Every time I learn something new about ace attorney the less I think I can guess what it’s about
would you beleieve me if I told you it’s a satire of Japan’s unfair and corrupt justice system which targets the court system’s presumption of guilt by forcing the player to prove their client’s innocence in the face of overwhelming and often manufactured evidence to the contrary
Akward Zombie often barely exaggerates how a game’s mechanics work, so I’d believe it.
yeah no this scene happens almost verbatim
that’s just how courts in America work
while you’re not wrong, the game is specifically about Japanese courts which have a legal presumption of guilt and a 98% conviction rate. a police officer’s accusation of a crime is effectively a conviction
Yep, this. And they were going to leave it at that but then there were some changes in the Japanese system and the developers were like “OH BOY *rolls up sleeves*” and wrote the second game to address the changes, and it just kind of kept going. Also the American localization of the games has some different details and is largely considered a separate canon from the original Japanese version (so it actually is super relevant to America in English, but uhhh hamburgers are not ramen, and a lot of other more important things are not equivalent).
Ace Attorney was probably what kickstarted the trend of calling the corrupt justice system out on its bullshit, making way for games like Persona 5 that delves really deep into this too
We should appreciate this series a lot more than we already do
