I really don't like Cuphead, folks.

I know everyone loves the story about the two brothers who mortgaged their house and blahblahblah, but plenty of people have been able to take that art style and that music and put their own spin on it. Cuphead just straight-up took it and lightly whitewashed it with no comment.

You can't make an exacting study of American animation from the 20s to the 40s, replicating character designs, movement, techniques, and backgrounds, then turn around and be like, "Well, we don't really know or deal with the politics of that era, we don't get into the racial aspect of it". You have to be into art history to do something like Cuphead, and to pretend you don't know or care about the era is a cop out.
