I hope they kill off all the main characters in the first 10 minutes and the rest of it is just Bloaty sitting on a couch.

The Invader Zim threads over on /co/ like to ship him with Sizz-Lorr, so enjoy having that image in your head

Which is unfortunate since the concept of Grunkle Stan and the kids driving around sabotaging other tourist traps was great, they just needed some other idea to pair it with.

Agreed, and it even had a good emotional core to it since it was one of the few episodes where Dipper and Grunkle Stan bonded together. Grunkle Stan relating to Dipper and saying how he's never managed to make a relationship work while Dipper jokes that that makes them both losers was a sweet moment.

I tried to go back and watch it and could barely make it through one episode. Show is not particularly good. 17yo me thought it was the poo poo. Now I just think it’s poo poo.

The last half was a significant improvement over the first if I'm remembering correctly. It took them a while to find their voice and realize that they really needed to tone down the anime faces. It's definitely a series that hasn't aged particularly well though.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Teen Titans was weird, especially since it couldn't acknowledge the rest of the DCU and had to dip into some obscure stuff to fill out its extended cast. I even forgot Robin was meant to be Batman's former sidekick.

Watching Costume Quest on Amazon based on someone mentioning it and it's a delight. I'm wondering what algorithms I need to type in to find new cartoons on Amazon, because I don't think I would have found the series otherwise.

I appreciated the friendship building between Raven, Beastboy, Starfire and Cyborg. They became really good friends through poo poo like Evermore and the episode where Raven and Starfire switched bodies. Robin started to feel kind of like a fifth wheel at that point. I also liked the idea that Raven plays at enjoying isolation/being a loner, but really does need people, hence the dragon easily manipulating her in that one episode and her complete breakdown in the future where Starfire got lost in time for 20 years.

Hard to say myself, but then I'll fully admit to regularly engaging in shipping with cartoons, I'm just a sucker for schmaltz(heck if I had any talent in writing I'd make fanfiction and similarly if I had any artistic talent I'd make fanart)


They engage in all sorts of weird shipping over there, like shipping Professor Membrane with a character that only appeared in a flashback in one of the unmade episodes

And that's just sticking with Invader Zim, things get weirder when we go to other series(not to mention the rabbit hole that is crossover shipping)


CelticPredator posted:

It ties into the fact that the most popular IZ ship over on /co/ is Zim/Gaz by a country mile, discussion often thus leads to both Zim's old job(and boss) and Gaz's favorite restaurant(and it's mascot), and one day someone suggested the two should meet probably as a joke but they quickly latched onto it as something semi-serious

Scooby Doo and Guess Who just released its first episode, and I think it's really fun! Just some good-natured cartoon humor, a few self aware jokes sprinkled over 20 minutes, and a dumb mystery. Nothing out of this world like Mystery Inc, but fun enough.

I really liked it but there's tons of Phil LaMarr, Grey Griffin, and Kate Micucci in basically every background character. This is probably how they're affording all of the guest stars so that's fine.

I loving LOVE the theme song.

His YouTube's been dead for six months and he's active on Twitter kind of doing nothing. He seems ashamed of the Brentalfloss stuff.

You're gonna run into that sort of thing with a guy known for a short single-syllable name. I wonder if Russia has that sort of thing with Stalin, since he just took the Russian word for steel as his last name.

It's a bit of a lucky thing that Hitler was just a pretty obscure name from the start, so there's not much confusion there.
