## 2025-09-20 Pretty damn good. I want to say “I hope the show gets funded beyond a pilot!” but as of this writing it’s got 10 million views in 6 days. So. It’s probably fine! I feel like the best art is driven by spite. I at least hope that’s the case, because it’s the stuff I tend to be most drawn to and is the creative well I draw from. I think **Knights of Guinevere** speaks to that belief. It’s not hard to recognize that the show is interested in deconstructing Dana Terrace’s, uh, [not great](https://www.thegamer.com/the-owl-house-disney-brand-cancelled/) parting with Disney. But despite that personal energy it’s got a little trauma for everybody! “A corporation weaponizing nostalgia via a disgustingly garish theme park that — quite literally — *floats* above the employees that keep it running while struggling to make ends meet” is a universal experience! Just replace “theme park” with whatever company you work for! One thing that’s particularly funny about this show’s debut is how Disney showed its ass just a few days later with the whole Jimmy Kimmel debacle. No one is safe from Ricky Rat. But as you may have seen after that debacle started, we can fight back! Fight back by boycotting, fight back by spreading the word, or like Terrace and her team, fight back by creating the art that a bunch of soulless husks in suits wouldn’t let you make. I can’t say it for certain, but **Knights of Guinevere** feels like an artistic turning point to some extent. The way this show immediately blew up is proof that we’re hungry for art that’s not shackled by corporations that want to sanitize and play it safe. The fact that indie productions are starting to hit the same scale as something you’d see on a traditional broadcasting network is a big deal. I want every creator to have this level of freedom (and Glitch’s monetary backing, lest we forget). I want this show to be the animated equivalent to like, Supergiant Games’ **Bastion**, and usher in a sea of similar adult animation. Also I know it’s not the point — [[Knights of Guinevere-1758896247221.png|hell it’s actively missing it, I acknowledge that]] — but Guinevere is hot. Sorry! Sorry. They made her like that, not me. So is Frankie. I have a type. There’s a lot more to **Knights of Guinevere** than the Disney angle, obviously. We’ll see it when more episodes come out. But for this pilot, what it represents at this moment in time is why that angle is most striking to me. Good shit! Good shit.
