MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
I think things have gone too far with that channel. I've seen the comments specially in the recently released fan film of his (which I think is total garbage) and I'm starting to get worried. There's some people that go as far as saying that Toriyama is going to have to redo the whole movie because of the "High quality and plot of the fan film." Hell, there are reaction videos to the fan film. The guy has a patreon account set up meaning we have another case of someone making money at Dragon Ball's expense. Last year, I made a post complaining about Clickbait and Dragon Ball on Youtube. The guy went from 300,000 subscriber around the time DBSuper was around episode 74 to over a million today. One of his videos has over 20 million views. I just can't believe how can Clickbait get you that far.
My question is: Am I the only one having a problem with this?

By know, I assume some people knew who he was. MaSTAR Media: He's a Content Creator (Youtuber). Most of his content is based on Dragon Ball. Clickbait, tracing, all the red flags you can think of. He made a fan film out of the teaser for the new Dragon Ball Movie. The Fan Film is called Origin of the Saiyans. I have a problem with misinformation and Clickbait specially with Dragon Ball.

Re: MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
There's not really much we can do about it as much as it sucks. Just hope that people realize that there are better content creators out there, and move on. The best opyion would be making a video exposing this guy's traced animation, but unless it's from a big and influential channel like Ajay or Geekdom, nobody is going to pay attention to it. And I doubt they would ever do a video on some other youtuber.
Get Fucked, C_unt
Re: MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
The guy was getting criticized pretty heavily a few months (or even a year?) back for his tracing (which wouldn't be an issue if he didn't profit off of it AND he credited each animator he's tracing over), but now everyone was rightfully calling him out before is turning a blind eye to him because apparently he's actually a chill dude to talk to? Who the fuck cares? That kind of cowardly behavior is disgusting; you don't ignore scummy behavior because the person doing it might be a decent guy.

Re: MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
I agree with you both. It's hard to do something keeping in mind how many followers he has. This is going to sound awful but I'm sure his followers would take anything that MaSTAR media posts as absolute fact and whatever comes from Kanzenshuu they would take it with a grain of salt.Doctor. wrote:The guy was getting criticized pretty heavily a few months (or even a year?) back for his tracing (which wouldn't be an issue if he didn't profit off of it AND he credited each animator he's tracing over), but now everyone was rightfully calling him out before is turning a blind eye to him because apparently he's actually a chill dude to talk to?

Re: MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
Pregnant Vados, Super Saiyan Blanco! Mystic Namekian BOOK OF NAMEKS Piccolo Dragon Ball fans make me sick. MaSTAR is just a rotoscoping excuse for an animator. Casuals show me the videos and I scene for scene explain where he has taken this animation from or that animation from. The casuals don't care they just want Preggers Vados and evil Archangels. RetroRyno now that is a quality animator in the anime community who deserves MaSTARs following.

Re: MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
This appears to be more about an individual fan than it is anything about an effect on the larger, official product. As such, it's being moved to the "Fan-Created Works" section.
Knowing next to nothing about who this person is, I would caution you all to be sure your criticisms are based in reality and can be backed up. If they're as "big" as you say, then no, you as an individual probably can't "do" much about it. Support the people you like by spreading the good word and being your own decent person and fan.

Um... What should we be worrying about, exactly? That people like this guy's crappy Dragon ball Animation?

Re: MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
There is nothing more to be said that hasn't already been covered in the past on this forum, twitter, and youtube videos. Complaints about him tracing have already surfaced through communities.
And yet he's still here. If toei or companies aren't going to take action, and if he's still gaining support, then you have no choice but to deal with the situation. It's not that you're the only person who thinks this, it's just that people move on or don't care about him or the situation enough to escalate beyond sharing their complaints on a forum.

Re: MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
To quote Richard Williams: 'Straight rotoscoping is just boring and unconvincing. Live action reference should be a source of information, not just tracing photographs.'
If this MaSTAR Media just traces other animators' work (was he the guy that did that 'Saiyan Rangers' video or whatever?), then they are a sham and should not be given any credibility. However, I am not overly familiar with their work and do not want to accidentally give them traffic/ad revenue in the process of learning. Are they subtle about their supposed copying or do they not care?

Re: MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
People who praise this kind of animation are probably just some 14 year old kids who also invent OC's who can go Super Saiyan 56. Who else would care to have their names "for all eternity" in this guy's videos? Nothing to be serious about.

Re: MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
That he's gaining incredible amounts of fans and money from tracing countless hard-working animators' work. His latest video (an incredibly cringeworthy attempt to predict the plot of the upcoming DBS film) was packed to the brim with traced work and scenes taken right out of the movie trailer – and it got nearly 7 million views!Kanassa wrote:Um...

Yeah, people liking lazy crap is something that has been happening since the dawn of the industry. Not really anything to worry about, especially since the facts are out there and easily available.Firebolt wrote:That he's gaining incredible amounts of fans and money from tracing countless hard-working animators' work.

I don't see the problem. He's offering free entertainment and not demanding financial compensation at all. What he gets is from deals with the plaform he is on due to the traffic he generates (for example youtube) or through voluntary donations (patreon). That's what guys like Teamfourstar also get, who also heavily rely on the original footage and art of the series to provide their entertainment. And yet, I don't see people having a problem with Teamfourstar. We might not like him because he lies about his methods of tracing and such, but that's not really the core of the relevant issue. Also, we might not like that so many people like him but, again, that's not the core of the relevant issue.Firebolt wrote:That he's gaining incredible amounts of fans and money from tracing countless hard-working animators' work.

But, that is exactly the core of the relevant issue, he traces stuff from Dragonball and other series', claims its his original work a lot of the time, and then profits of it.rereboy wrote:successoroffate wrote:I think things have gone too far with that channel.

That's my basic understanding of the problem people have with him.
Re: MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
The core of the relevant issue is him "making money off the franchise by using its original art and footage".JazzMazz wrote: But, that is exactly the core of the relevant issue, he traces stuff from Dragonball and other series', claims its his original work a lot of the time, and then profits of it.
That's my basic understanding of the problem people have with him.
In that regard, like Teamfourstar, he just makes the money that people want to give him through stuff like patreon, and the money that he generates through youtube thanks to the views he creates. Furthermore, he creates his entertainment by using the original art and footage from the series (copying it and tracing it), which is also basically what Teamfourstar does (the footage of their episodes is practically all just edited footage from the series with their fan dub. They don't really create their own footage, they just use the original and edit it).
So, in terms of the relevant issue ("making money off the franchise by using its original art and footage"), there's basically no difference.
The only difference is him lying about tracing and claiming to be original. That would be like Teamfourstar saying that they are using only footage entirely made by them. But, even if we don't like that, it really has nothing to do with "making money off the franchise by using its original art and footage". That's just about being honest or not, and nothing else. And as for his popularity, that obviously also has nothing to do with it.

Re: MaSTAR Media (Should we talk about this?)
From my understanding, neither does this guy. As the OP stated: "The guy has a patreon account set up meaning we have another case of someone making money at Dragon Ball's expense". Well, Teamsfourstar also has a patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tfs . And he has a youtube channel, which Teamfourstar also has.Doctor. wrote:TeamFourStar doesn't profit directly from their Abridged series.rereboy wrote:successoroffate wrote:I think things have gone too far with that channel.
