K-Radio13 Update - REDESIGN INCOMING!!!

With my recent obsession with Zootopia, Rebirth will be going through a redesign to suit the theme,

A new banner will be created - done by myself personally (Not good with art but will do my best).

To set myself up for a deadline, There will be a fan fiction released on Rebirth, by September 30th 2016,

Each Chapter or Sub-Chapter will be released every day from the deadline at 5pm (GMT+8).

The Fan-Fiction will be Zootopia related and will include the two main characters. Can't say more than that as of now the outline of the story is being drafted.

The fan-fic will then be sent off for proof-reading and review by a couple friends and hopefully I will be able to provide a high quality fan-fic for the community by then, Wish me luck.

Zootopia Timeline - "I will give you 48 hours"



It was 3:34am in the morning, Just finished up with my assignments that was due in 10 hours,
Had the Discord app running in the background and noticed some activity in the #Zootopia Channel of the Zootopia Server,

Some questions from "TheScout105" on Reddit ("Iz Zeck" on Discord).

One of those questions being the inconsistency of time in the movie, Mainly what happened with Judy's 48 hours to solve the case, Here are my findings



 DAY 0 (First Day of Work)


5:30 AM - Judy wakes up to get ready for work
Some things to notice here, The sky is bright enough to illuminate the room, Allowing Judy to get ready to go work, In a future scene when Judy comes home from Day 0 shows there is not enough artificial lighting outside her window to brighten up the room, So we can assume that Sunrise is close-by - Around 6:30-7:30am (Estimation)

She gets to work on Day 0
Due to the location of the sun shining into the building, We can assume it is morning, Unless you want to argue that She goes to work only in the Afternoon when the sun is setting.
Note the light level on the wall behind Clawhauser's desk. (It shines touching the emblem on the wall slightly.)

11:58PM - On the Job
We can now confirm that she went to work in the morning (Obviously), As she challenges herself to writing 200 Tickets before noon, This is confirmed by the street-clock shown as well as what Judy says "Boom, 200 Tickets before Noon".

After the events of Day 0 she goes home

8:39 PM - According to the Clock
As she switches through radio stations we can note that the time is 8:39PM,
She goes to Microwave some dinner and comes back still 8:39PM,

8:39PM - According to Judy's Phone - Call from Parents
This time the clock and Judy's phone confirms the time 8:39PM
Call lasts for about a minute,

End's the Call at 8:40PM

9:44PM - According to Judy's Phone - When She Puts the Phone Down
After the call ends Judy proceeds to place the phone face down on the table we can notice the time according to the phone as 9:44 PM as well as her Phone lockscreen showing an image of Judy and the little sibling that said good bye to her when she was on the train.
This is the first inconsistency of time in the movie though this doesn't really affect the story much or at all.

What we can confirm is that there is minimal light coming from the window. She still would need to use the lamp to brighten up the rest of the room.

END OF DAY 0


START OF DAY 1



Start of Day 1 shows Judy already on Duty, No clear indication of time yet, At least to what I can see.

Weaselton Chase Scene
During the chase we see the sun in the sky twice for brief moments, What we can tell is that the sun is not directly overhead meaning it is either the morning or afternoon.

Captured the Weasel
As we get back to Clawhausers desk, looking at the lighting on the wall it would indicate either earlier in morning than when Judy gets to work on Day 0 or Later in the afternoon as the sun is setting.
Almost half of the emblem on the wall is touched by sunlight,
Due to where the light is coming from, the sun is lower in the sky in comparison to when Judy arrives on Day 0, This should mean it is earlier in the morning. If it was the afternoon the light should be coming from the other direction and probably would not enter the building as it does in this scene.

Judy Takes On The Case 
This happens after the events of capturing the weasel, From Chief Bogo's Office there is now way to tell the time, (Unless I'm missing something).

Checking the Case File
Back to Clawhauser's desk looking again at the wall, The light barely skims the side and bottom of the emblem, Which would tell us that the sun is higher up in the sky at this point, But as it is still shining into the building from the same side, We can still assume that it is not the Afternoon.

DMV
No clear signs of time all we know though is they went in during the coarse of the day, and came out after the sun has set. Thanks Nick for wasting Judy's Time.

Travelling to Mr.Big - 8:35PM According to Raymond/Kevin's Phone (Polar Bears)

*Inconsistency - Mr.Big's Daughter says she was saved Yesterday should have been this morning (If we were to take this information as truth, We could say Judy only receives the case file a day after the events at Bogo's Office, Though this would contradict what Judy says leaving the Naturalists club, "Only 36 hours remaining", Though Judy's calculations may be wrong it suggests that she has more than 24 hours.)

Nick and Judy Stays for the Wedding
A couple hours have passed by - Doesn't really matter

Jam-Cam Time Stamp- 11:30PM
Nick and Judy checks the Traffic Cameras - Manchas was capture at 11:30PM

The Officers and Judy Arrive at the Scene
When Judy is showing Chief Bogo where it all happens,

Nick says we have 10 hours left

We could say that a couple hours has passed from the incident since shortly after as Nick and Judy enter the SkyTram we see a sunrise.
Following the information we had before it is around 5:30am++,
They could have spent the time searching for Judy's Walkie-Talkie or the SkyTram trip was longer than we thought,

END OF DAY 1 



START OF DAY 2 


City-Hall (Sometime before noon)
Nick and Judy arrive at City-Hall some time before noon as we see Mayor Lionheart asking Bellwether to cancel his afternoon meetings. This could be a couple hours before noon, could be a couple minutes before noon, Doesn't matter.

8:39PM - Judy's Phone - Recording Mayor Lionheart
We can see the time from Judy's phone When Judy's parents call her up.

Mayor Lionheart is arrested soon after. 
Still Nighttime

The Deadline should have been the following Morning


CONCLUSION 


In Conclusion Nick is just bad at calculating time, Though in a way he wouldn't know when Judy actually took on the case, He was told she has 36 hours left after leaving the naturist club,
So his estimation should at least been have about 15-19 hours, Though seeing as Nick was on the spot he could have estimated wrongly

Even though Judy actually has 24+ hours left
Chief Bogo wanted to collect Judy's Badge as he feels Judy is unable to perform the job even though knowing that she still has about 24+ hours. Of coarse due to the moment Chief Bogo may have just wanted to get Judy to quit as soon as possible, Which would explain why he demanded her badge.

Thought provoking post #004 - Zootopia/Zootropolis - Animal Stereotypes

The last and final Thought Provoking post for Zootopia,
This one might actually be a lot shorter than the previous one since there isn't much to write here

So yet again let's begin.

Animal Stereotypes

Actually quick note before I start talking about stereotypes,
In my Personal Opinion, I don't see Stereotypes as a form of racism unless you mean it to be,
For example, You say Chinese people have small eyes, and in some ways this is true but not always,
Saying Chinese people have small eyes is the stereotypes the racist part is where you make fun of them and say that they probably can't see well because of it.
To me at least Racism is treating a race superior/inferior to another race,
And a stereotype is an oversimplified image of a certain group of people,

Common examples of stereotypes
American's are Fat
French wear berets and carry around baguettes
African American's love to eat watermelon and fried chicken

The racist part about these are the meanings behind them,
For example a lot of people love to eat  watermelon and fried chicken
but the racist meaning behind African American's liking it is that it is a lazy food and they are lazy.

So back to the topic
Where does animal stereotypes come from in the world of Zootropolis,
And if you place our animal stereotypes on them it is quite offensive.


Do apologize that this thought provoking post isn't as fleshed out as the others,
The next semester of my Degree course will be starting on Monday and the site may be less active for awhile,

Though Provoking Post #003 - Zootopia - Equal Pay

Another Though Provoking Post,
This is the second thought provoking post for Zootopia, There will be just one more after this which will conclude this little series of posts

So lets begin with the Thought Provoking Post (MINOR SPOILERS)

Equal Pay

It is a problem we face in our world, Where people get payed different amounts due to race or gender, But in comparison to the world of Zootopia it is nothing.

Imagine a world where struggle to obtain equal pay is not only caused by differences in gender or ethnicity, But instead was also disrupted by differences in species and living wage to meet the standard of living. 

Sadly we don't have much information on how the population of zootopia deal with this problem, Other than the fact the city shares a common currency,

(Minor Spoiler Warning :This spoiler doesn't take anything away from the main story though it reveals what happens in a couple scenes of the movie.)

As our Nick Wildes buys a "Jumbo Pop" (Large Popsicle Ice-cream) from a store that serves very large mammals for $15 
He then melts down the "Jumbo Pop" to make smaller Popsicle Ice-Cream which he then sells to the Lemmings in another district of the city for $2 each. 

Now In terms of the size of the product these consumers are recieving, The "Jumbo Pop" would be considered a large popsicle for even the large mammals (seen in the store, elephants/hippos). 
And the melted down miniture versions "The Pawpsicle" are the size of the lemmings head, 
So in this regard we can consider that each mammal is receiving a large product for their money. 

So lets say you are the CEO of a large company "The Lemming Brothers Bank", you hire quite the number of bankers and you give them an entry wage of $10 per hour(for example) all the staff do a very similar job and they all get paid fairly, One day to increase their banks reach they start diversifying their bankers, They hire an elephant to work as a banker in the company, He/She works the same job as the other Lemmings and earn the same entry wage as any other lemming employee $10 per hour. 

Being a lemming $10 per hour is quite the amount of money because it only costs you 12 minutes of work to get quite a large popsicle and we can also assume food at their portion size would obviously cheaper then anything the elephant could get. 

Now for the Elephant $10 per hour isn't much and it costs him/her 90 minutes of work to get a jumbo pop. though of course one could argue that he might just multiple "Pawpsicle's" to satisfy his hunger for ice cream ( Though keep in mind a "Jumbo Pop" is worth quite the number of "Pawpsicle's", Nick and Finnick were seen making about 160+ "Pawpsicle's, But it is possible that all 160+ Pawpsicle is made from multiple "Jumbo Pops" scammed from multiple locations)

Ok so back on topic, Would it be fair to give this elephant staff more money for the same work the lemming's do? How would you solve this problem where all/most of the staff are happy with the outcome? 

So this week's thought provoking post is quite the long read, Though if you got through it good job, Alot to think about here. Maybe you already have a solution in your head, 
Have a good rest of the week,

Thought Provoking Post #002 - Zootopia - Interspecies Relationships

Another Thought Provoking Post,
This is the first out of the few Zootopia related post I am planning to post,
Though there will be now Zootopia review on the site as the movie already has very good reviews and rightfully so.

So lets begin with the Thought Provoking Post (NO SPOILERS)




Interspecies Relationship

In a world where there were no humans, And animals were to take our place as civilized sentient beings able to communicate between each other. Where Predators no longer hunt and Prey no longer cower in fear, It is a more peaceful time.

As you watch the movie you will still notice that the number of visible interspecies relationships are very minimal. This could be the movies way of poking at the fact that most people are more comfortable hanging out or being friends with those of the same race.

So in terms of friendships there is still some diversity though very minimal, Another noticeable separation is between the Predators and Preys.

On the other hand in terms of a more intimate relationship between lovers, There does not seem to be any to be seen throughout the movie.

So more in depth on this, In terms of the survivability of a species there would be problems if animals were to procreate with other species since most interspecies young are sterile and unable to create the next generation of young. (Other than the Tigons and Ligers).
But in comparison to the time when they were all wild, The Animals now live in a more peaceful time where species can live in harmony (being able to function as a civilized  society together).

A Civilized time where child mortality rate would have surely been dropped to an all time low for any and all species (Our Protagonists has 275 Siblings). You would think that procreation would be a minor thing in mind when looking for an intimate partner.

So what are you thoughts on this?
The city of Zootropolis is no new city,
But could the past have traumatized these animals and though they live in such peaceful times there is still traces of Speciesism in them all?
Could Interspecies Relationships still be an undiscovered thing?
Could Gazelle and one of her backup dancers be the first  Interspecies Celebrity Couple?
