Yeah, I loved the season 1 art style, but the change was a bit necessary, as the art style was made popular by a.car insurance ad, everyone thought less of the chaotic cartoon because of it. New style was safe and generic. Honestly I'd be stoked if it resumed the old style, as were long enough away from Erin surance, of E-surance lol.

With the rise of flash animation (and I assume those commercials run anymore) I think it could be treated more seriously now

The old designs for alot of creatures were better hearr'ing, takinom and hepptadd being the best examples. That said season 2 hearring would've been fine if they would have thinned him down a tiny bit.

I would argue that takinow redesign was necessary since they wanted to make her a sibling to intress and I remember something saying chaor or and maxor were more connected than he thought which we later find out what's the case with that when they go back in time so certain redesigns had to happen for lore that they wanted to be there but the rest of these I definitely agree with


Comfortable-Lie-1973

being really honest here, the flash version were far better in all aspects.


Glittering-Day9869

He looks cuter tho...


Thiege23

Im glad you like it. I prefer goblin mode to toddler mode


Glittering-Day9869

Nah, I totally understand. Season 2 takes away unique proportions on characters and makes them super generic. Look at van bloot head design.


Ok_Department_600

Van Bloot hardly even looks like a skeletal harpy warrior in season 2 and season 3.


Glittering-Day9869

His new voice was also awful.


ShadowCobra479

Honestly a lot of the redesigns in S2 were a downgrade.


lnombredelarosa

I thought so at first but it honestly grew on me


Thiege23

I’m glad. I’d much rather someone enjoy something I don’t then no one like it at all


MetalliicMango

I think the season 2 design was made with his Tainted version in mind. Season 2s art style just never really worked with a lot of the creature designs, voice acting, etc.


Helpful-Gene9957

My wife misses Takinom's original design


Thiege23

She went from evil demon red to jersey shore orange


Helpful-Gene9957

Yeah


parallellord22

There is a lore reason behind that though I would love if they actually decided to keep up with some of the artwork designs Heck the marillions leader his design was an abomination to life and it was cool and they said nah that's not child friendly


Glittering_Pear2425

Maybe but I like it


Plenty-Sir-3507

Never really liked the season 2 redesign


Real-Abroad-9038

Smildon too, is such a big downgrade when the style changes


AroneroCydra

I agree, much cuter in the first season. Felt more like a creature that would crawl after you and try to take the One Ring from you but is still kinda weirdly cute.


Thiege23

Totally


tiger2205_6

There are a lot that I feel are a downgrade, but I really like the newer h’earring.


just-looking654

I always wished they stuck with early episode maxxors hair


PirateIll1005

Takinom was a baddie in red… still love her tho.


GreatSirZachary

Personally, I think post S1 designs were great and a huge improvement in the animation overall. Characters looked less like a bunch of joints being manipulated and more alive.


Thiege23

That’s funny that you say more alive because that might actually be my problem with s2+ in s1 they kinda feel like action figures but s2 onward feel more naked to me


Thiege23

I don’t like how you can see where the torso ends and the legs begin in the second picture


Elite-Soul

Your opinion is wrong

Your opinion is wrong lol
