Woah I remember seeing this and thinking it was really cool. I had no idea about all the 'behind of the curtains' stuff though.

[(Anonymous)]

maybe I'm misreading, are you saying people are obligated to fund a fan animation if it makes the original work popular?

[dethtoll]

That's exactly what they're saying, except the MS animation fandom haven't actually done a thing to make Mystery Skulls popular, just the animated video for "Ghost."

[(Anonymous)]

After doing a bit of digging before I started commenting, apparently there was some kind of weird legal snag where the fandom that has sprung up around Mystery Skulls and the animated videos being produced to their stuff was all set to fund the video being screencapped in the secret, and Mystery Skulls was supposedly all ready to let them--until the girl wanted to (or needed to?) pay professional animators for their time to get the work out. I think OP is trying to say Mystery Skulls (more likely their legal team if I'm understanding this correctly) should try and resolve those legal issues and allow it to be funded??? I think?

[dethtoll]

Are you fucking kidding me with this shit? The "Ghost" video was admittedly pretty cute (if unnecessary because the song already had a really good one) but the fandom that's sprung up around it makes me fist-clenchingly fucking angry. Maybe if y'all actually buy their album instead of whining about how their videos are inferior to the animated ones they might feel like catering to you. MS doesn't owe any of you a goddamn thing. You didn't make them famous. You made mysteryben famous.

you just reminded me! i gotta buy their album when i get my paycheck!!!

[(Anonymous)]

Lol calm your hateboner. As someone who loved the "Ghost" video and got introduced to them that way, and bought the album because of it, chiiiilll the fuck out. It took me a minute to realize who "Mysteryben" was and yet I know Mystery Skulls, funny how that works.

It honestly sounds like you're making a generalization based off of your own irrational hate for something. And if you think those video(s apparently now there's two of them) didn't make MS more famous....wow. That's some hardcore denial. Mystery Skulls and those animated videos have a very decidedly symbiotic thing going on. The video wouldn't mean jack shit if it wasn't set to such a catchy beat, and people know that. They're not invested in these Scooby Doo ripoff characters just because they're there, it's the whole experience.

[dethtoll]

I believe you feel that way. My experience with the Animated Ghost fandom is much, much different.

This... is unfair at all? The band (the OP's talking about the band, right?) has no obligation to fund anything? They actually are being pretty great about allowing the animated vids to be done with their music at all. I mean yeah, the vids made them more popular, I personaly bought their album and listened to it through all of 2014 and I'm not even in the MSA fandom, but the vid OP's talking about is obviously inspired my Ghost animation, and like... mysteryben&ko made it all by themselves, probably realising and researching what they'll be allowed and not allowed to do with the copyright permit they use. Too bad this girl didn't do her reasearch I guess?
Basically, she's bringing trouble and leagal issues to the band, and the band is the one in the wrong? Unfair.
