That's what makes Hideaki Anno taking a sledgehammer to the franchise, dousing it in gasoline, lighting it on fire, and then pissing out the words gently caress ALL OF YOU on its ashes with Rebuild 3.33 all the more hilarious. The man hates the thing he created and all the people who love it and rightly so. He actually, consciously did the thing all the screeching racist manbabies accuse Rian Johnson of doing to Star Wars to Evangelion and no one loving gets it.
Well there are a lot of weeb man babies upset about 3.33, but I have no idea how you could have the opinion that it's destroyed the franchise. All of the actually important bits are still there the only thing altered or destroyed are the dumb continuity stuff that categorically does not matter. The movies are in a lot of respects a adult who is dealing with their mental baggage looking back on destructive ways they used to cope with that same baggage. Hence why the movies don't suffer from the show's atrocious pacing.

Don't worry for that we have anime appropriating Chinese and Korean cultural signifiers.

I think the fact they're not working with a TV season schedule and also don't have to rewrite their finale because of a terror attack is also part of that

I feel like most creative people regard their early efforts this way, but exploitation aside everyone doing the CA thing was so insanely young at the beginning that they should go easy a little when looking back.

And it could have gone a lot worse. At least you weren’t that atheist guy who went nazi and hosed the banana, you know? And at least you’re not Doug.

I'm not saying it isn't, I'm saying the need to change direction like that couldn't have helped the pacing.

A poorly scheduled production is only poorly scheduled until it's released, but if it's poorly paced in the media itself it's poorly paced forever.

That is perhaps the greatest concurrent triumph and tragedy of Channel Awesome: Doug and Lindsay's career trajectories. Both started out from roughly parallel positions, and over the span of a decade Lindsay has matured and evolved in to a popular and respected academic with a skill and ethic recognized by peers and fans alike and has formed industry-wide professional partnerships with the likes of PBS and more.

And Doug hired Malcolm and Tamara.

I'm not sure of all the details, but I think he was trying to mock Christian fundamentalists who claimed that the shape of bananas proved Intelligent Design was real. In the end, though, all he succeeded in doing was loving himself with a banana.

It was Amazing Atheist and supposedly he got catfished, so someone plied him to put chocolate sauce on himself and then shove a banana up his rear end and he did. It happened eons ago back when he was still a big youtube boy.

So that rebranding/resurrection of the escapist doesn't look like it's going to be any good, unsurprisingly.

I think Lindsey has a good reason to negatively look back at being with CA. I mean, she did get some less then flattering fanart of herself during it.

Funniest part is Doug did try to branch out, he just wasn’t funny/talented enough, so now the rear end in a top hat is stuck doing this poo poo until he dies. A fitting end I guess.

That show had some great and broken moments. The suicide pact episode still stands as one of the darkest bits of absurdity/comedy I've ever seen and is creepy as hell. drat shame that show is near-impossible to find.

Be fair, sometimes they’re too abstract to be embarrassing. Like Lovecraft, the asexual with the architecture fixation.
