Thoughts on this pilot?
Harpy Gee
why does she need to be brown?
That's just Luz with Season 1 Amity's hair.
Awful never post this fake weeb shit again
pretty good, obviously was ahead of its time.
She doesn't "need" to be anything. What does her being literally any given race change about the story?
Wasn't a big fan, it was fine don't get me wrong it's just kinda not my thing. I'm very picky about my fantasy cartoons.
makes her look like a tree
I dunno if the creator of Harpy Gee ever got the rights back to her show since Nick prefers to simply scam you out of your IP so they can sit on it and never use it instead of giving it a chance
The comic is great. I think it's better this fell through, as I don't think the creator would have been able to continue the story otherwise.
Glad that it didn't get animated. I mean can you the imagine how long the will they won't they would have taken. Heck even the comic took forever even with all the setups for it.
She got the rights back, Disney expressed interest but she dropped the opportunity when they asked her to make the characters attend a school to be relatable for kids
Pretty but lacks enough violence for me
Better that we got the webcomic
Didn't this person do the Amethyst princess thing
harpy waited until he was waaaay thicker to get with it, and that's valid
More artists need to just suck up their pride and admit that their super awesome show idea would be better as a webcomic. And if it can't even succeed as a webcomic, it definitely doesn't need to be made into a show or a movie.
Nick
Yeah, no wonder this didn't go anywhere. Always seems like Nick is the worst place to try and submit anything too.
We need more unapologetically girly girl shows like this.
Drouhard should stick to webcomics, this and the princess amethyst oneshot were just not that good, but the comics are actually great.
There's a comic for this? I thought Nick kept an iron grip on anything pitched to them. Did this get to run it's course fully or is it stalled somewhere?
Its on hiatus since last month but has gone for a lot of chapters since the pilot
Why is she named harpy if she isn't a bird girl?
Yep
I like the art but if this whole thing is stupid monsters making annoying noises I see why it was passed
More like why are white people still so useless that they cannot make their own media again? You won. 4 years to redeem your asses. Chop chop.
2018 was 6 years ago
I don't give a shit about this pilot but wow
That's impressive. The website looks the nostalgic type. Could be a fun little read. I'm just surprised that Nick didn't clamp down and insist they kept full ownership of the idea.
Humphrey is a lucky man.
Based. Reject pitches, retvrn to webcomics!
There's too much of a story in the comic to compress down to a short, so this is what they went with.
Good and I like how there was actually a cute guy in it that the MC could be shipped with.
Btw this led me to
youtube.com
which was surprisingly watchable.
The girliness is so pure and flourishing. It’s like staring into a lightbulb if I focus on it
I think shes looks and acts more like Skara than Luz and Amity also she's very very much like a Shantae character.
She came from a webcomic that predates Owl House.
Fun fact, this pilot was made by Nickelodeon animators as a gift for the creator of the webcomic, Brianne Drouhard, when she retired from Nickelodeon.
The comic is ongoing and you can read it here: harpygee.com
The former Nickelodeon president, Cyma Zarghami, decided to give the pilot the red light, that was Cyma's final decision as president before getting fired the day after.
What obsession does Disney have with school?
She was fired for doing that
Don’t care who says otherwise
Did the creator ever talk about why Nick shot the show down?
It's a Nickelodeon thing too.
They want their characters to be relatavble to kids and they think putting them in school will make kids relate to the main characters.
Nickelodeon forced SpongeBob to attend a school for this very reason.
Ever noticed how more child like SpongeBob as a character is whenever Nickelodeon has full control compared to the season where Hilgenberg was in control?
sharp teeth
Well her firing did seem like it was caused by, for lack of a better term, a mutiny.
No, all she said is how grateful she was that it didn't get picked up because of how much the development of the pilot itself delayed the comic, so she's just happy she can focus on the comic's story instead, that and Nickelodeon was going through a corporate restructuring at the time so if it had been picked up it would have been screwed over possibly worse than Glitch Techs.
Although i assume the reason why Cyma personally gave it the red light is due to her bias against action shows. Ever wonder why Nickelodeon had next to no action shows from the mid 2000s to the late 2010s? It because Cyma legit believed that action shows turns kids into terrorists.
