Hmm, yeah it’s pretty surprising that a show that frequently highlights the existential horror of being creative would be piloted by a manic-depressive alcoholic that many find difficult to work with.

The problem with the Internet and creative types is that their best ideas usually come after a period of refinement and bouncing them off other people for feedback. Instead we get Twitter with its think-a-thought-and-broadcast-worldwide button and we see a whole shitload of first draft ideas that should have died before they were shared with the entire world.

prefect posted:They announced it would be cancelled after they'd already started airing episodes with the new intro. I thought it was the other way around and the "Forever" season title was a joke playing off that. Servaetes posted:They sounded completely crestfallen and confused: Was The Brak Show axed in the same way as CP/SGC2C? I remember they "announced" the cancellation in the last seconds of what turned out to be the final episode. The series finale of ATHF was sort of depressing, so I'm glad they gave us one last swerve by releasing the actual finale (in turn, one more final, last episode) online. Squidbillies rules but even then they've dented it with making Tammy more of a fixture. Every episode she's in involves some sort of "IF YOU DO THIS THEN I AIN'T A'STAYIN'" subplot. I think she's supposed to be Rusty's moral compass and it just misses. I love how much Cheyenne Cinnamon is embedded in episodes which ran around the time that show never actually happened. Slightly Absurd posted:As much as I love SG:C2C, I can't really blame Lazzo for that one. By the time of [as], it was pretty hit or miss [though those hits are some of the best loving episodes] The last season or two of SGC2C has some of the most off the wall moments in the entire run . Flipmode may be my favorite [as] episode ever and Kentucky Nightmare, Justice Hole, and Knifin' Around are also really good out of that 2001 season.

And you're under no obligation to follow him.

I'm saying creatives are better when they have a writer's room and not just instantly sending their first thoughts into the Twitter ether. This is why you see so many stupid meltdowns/arguments coming from creatives on Twitter, including Misters Harmond and Roiland.

https://screenrant.com/rick-morty-season-4-delay-renewed/amp/Dan Harmon posted:The reason we’re not working on Rick and Morty right now ain’t because I figured out that I don’t need to impress you. It’s because of a little something called contract negotiations and it’s gotten complicated this time around.” Dan Harmon posted:By the way, nobody you “go against” will change anything. No side you pick will matter. Nobody is unaware of the show’s impact or financial value. No amount of picket signs or hashtags or tantrums will “awaken” anyone to jack poo poo. Suits gonna suit. The rest of us gonna wait. Basically Season 4 is definitely happenning, Dan Harmon and TWC are just both playing hardball over cash now and the result is people like Typical getting left in the dust until everyone is satisfied.

I wanted to edit this so you could all first hand see how the entire animation industry works. Its sort of the way of life out here in LA though. We prepare for for this sort of rocky employment though. I myself live a spartan life style, consuming only the essential things I need to survive, Sandwiches, Coffee, and gaming pc parts. kloa posted:Typical should make his own show Let my tell you about my youtube channel friendo. Actually I have pitched show Ideas to Nickelodeon before, but I'm not very good at coming up with kids material, and trying to figure out the networks hidden desires was a game I didn't really want to play. So I've kinda curbed the idea of making a broadcast media for now to focus on my short animations and youtube content.

Dan Harmon is a crazy homeless looking dude standing in the middle of a busy public square with a megaphone shouting "hey! hey everyone I loving hate my self! I'm such an ugly ball of depression! Look how self-deprecating I am! I'm so self aware of how awful I am! In fact I'm the absolute best at it you god drat peasants. I'm the god drat best at being depressed and miserable. God why is everyone looking at me?! Shut up!! I don't care what you idiots think, what gives you the right to talk to me?! Leave me alone with my absolutely massive ego based on being the best at depression and crippling insecurities!" But he makes good poo poo so I'll give him a solemn nod and a slow clap.

I watched harmontown and it kinda filled in some gaps about how i percieved the dude. he gets drunk and while his worst antics are still cut out and mostly only alluded to the day after, he seems to turn into a poo-brained shithead when he's drunk, like everyone else. When he's sober, or the closest thing to functional/sober you can be as an alcoholic, he's alright and aware of his demons and in control of himself. This should be obvious but just reading tweets and other less canned, less candid stuff you get the impression of a schizophrenic rear end in a top hat when i think he's mostly just the kind of dickhead alcoholic artist that would've been way more successful if his career had peaked a decade or two back. I don't think anyone would tolerate Gene Roddenberry in the modern era based on what came out about him after his death. It's kinda amusing in hindsight but he sounds like absolute hell to work with in a similar way as harmon, and as prone to attracting nerds tl;dr just based on how i act when hosed up and how i've seen him act while hosed up and people in my actual life behave i'd say the dude needs like, an extended rehab stint more than anything

It’s so obviously spelled out and delivered in a way to make the fans feel smart for “getting him” that it’s borders on cringey. I don't think the audience is meant to agree with him in that rant.

CelticPredator posted:I feel bad for Dan Harmon. Harmon is in a hell of his own making, despite his own issues. He is deeply self-loathing (which comes out in pretty much all his work through narcissism), clearly needs to stop drinking for good and probably needs to step away from the toxic hell that is making media, because all attention does is feed his narcissism. There's nothing wrong with mental illness or depression or anxiety. Last I saw the estimates had risen upwards to that roughly 19 - 21 percent of the population has mental illness of some sort. It happens. Where the break happens is when someone is fully aware of having such an issue, then refuses to do something about it. I lost all respect for Harmon a while back when he tried to gaslight Megan Ganz, who rightly was having nothing of it. basic hitler posted:
Hell, everyone knew Roddenberry was a monster even back in the '70s (and Paramount flat-out refused to deal with him, which is why he was kicked out of doing the movies after the first one), but he was a master of creating a cult of personality around himself. After he died, his widow carried on the tradition, to the point of rushing an "authorized" biography out the door after she found out an actual biography--that didn't hide his shadiness and scummy behavior--was hitting bookshelves.

Without getting too personal, I feel bad for Harmon because I can see myself getting there if I don’t deal with my issues right here and now. His movie freaked me out deep inside because man, I saw a lot of myself. (Not anywhere near as extreme though. What he did to Megan is horrific.) It scares me because all I want in my life is to make cool poo poo every day, that brings joy to people. And he has that and he’s still a wreck. It gives me inspiration to push myself in the right direction, but also shows the danger of having those issues unchecked.

Steven Universe and Rick and Morty are 2 sides of the same coin, direct opposites - one is a show about how being nice to everyone will save the world, one is a show about how lovely everyone is inherently, and both have heavily toxic idiots in their fanbase. Also down to dynamics, Morty is Steven in a universe where Garnet's unquestioning world view is the norm, and Steven is Morty in a universe where Rick actually listens to Morty's better nature. In this metaphor Garnet is Rick - the differences are that Garnet is much nicer than Rick although sharing flaws like thinking she knows everything when she doesn't and being initially cold to newcomers, and Morty is a horrible little pervert who initially shares Steven's naivety, and both become more wise about how the world really works as the shows go on and they see more of it.
