I know we're talking about the lovely mirror popo getting violently slaughtered, but that doesn't address the poor guy who Lake podjacked. Not that I'm shedding any tears, since both his memories and his number tells me he was a real rear end in a top hat but yeah...he's just snapped awake and thrown out to the wilderness.

Owl House is pretty good. It really fills the niche that Star VS and Gravity Falls left behind (Alex Hirsch being several voices probably helped with that). I definitely recommend it.

Infinity Train finale was so good. I haven’t been that satisfied with an ending in a long time. Really hoping for more of it.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Mermista and Perfuma at least get a few spotlight episodes. Though a bit silly that the former reacts to the loss of her kingdom and a lot of her people presumably getting killed and enslaved by acting like a teenager who just got dumped. I liked Perfuma's ep in the desert; the mostly unspoken idea that Huntara implicitly trusts Adora and Bow enough to assume the hippie obviously out of her element actually has significant powers worth taking her to an incredibly deadly environment.

Xelkelvos posted:That's sorta always been the case for animated violence since the 90s I think. As long as the target of the violence clearly wasn't a human or an animal or something similar, you could get away with all sorts of violence. Thus, a lot of robots in action-y series. Same with guns firing bullets vs. lasers Yeah, the specific thing is imitable violence. Usually with loopholes a mile wide if you know what you're doing. (see what the DCAU got away with through inference, and the entire Transformers franchise) Occasionally a little egregious like when characters will obviously step up their game when fighting nonhuman enemies. (Aside from deliberate examples like Batman)

Binged through Mystery Incorporated and got touched when Fred told Daphne he loved her. I don't know if I loved the supernatural aspect of the final enemy and the wrap up of everything was..ok but still loved the series. Has there been more scooby doo since this was put out?

Rescuing weirdos from the conformatorium is a bit on the nose. Not really what I expected, but I guess there's still a lot of potential. Do people still make AMVs? I haven't seen those around in a long while.

I'm super interested in where it can go from here. If nulls can get existential life crisis and question their existence and actually make it into the "real world" then I'm ready for any weird poo poo this show can throw at me and make me not cry.

There's also been, since Mystery Inc. ended, thirteen movies of Scooby Doo. Including the movie titled Scooby Doo and the Curse of the 13th Ghost where they finally beat the 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo. Some western movie that's where the Shaggy Ultra Instinto was born, a follow up to Zombie Island, two WWE movies, and a crossover with Batman The Brave and the Bold that came out two years ago and is just a very nice extra episode of Batman the Brave and the Bold.

Ah. That's a lot of spinoffs. I wish that they had a coherent plot for their seasons instead of just random monsters of the week. That's what really caught my attention with Mystery Incorporated.

There's usually only one series airing at a time and the movies are pretty self-contained for the most part, so it's not quite as complicated as it seems.

Do you remember the Scooby Doo imitators? Like the one with the shark, and the one with the talking car? (I literally cannot remember their names) You don't see those properties being rebooted or some such. I wonder why.

I think most of them were made by the same people, often re-using character models and animation (because Hanna-Barbera was suuuper cheap, but then again everything was in the Dark Age of Animation) explicitly to jump on the bandwagon of Scooby-Doo's popularity. Mystery Inc has cameos from a bunch of them iirc.

That's Hanna-Barbera. If they weren't ripping off a sitcom from the 50s, they were ripping off themselves.

No respect. I think that whole fad was actually started with the 60s Archie animated series, which actually did have a more mystery-oriented successor series. You could also consider Alvin and the Chipmunks as part of that whole thing, which did have a weird, weird revival. Outside of those, I think most of the other series in that vein were really short-lived and obscure. Speedbuggy, Jabberjaw, and Funky Phantom were each only one season long, and I only remember those because they're owned by Hannah Barbara and a later Scooby Doo series referenced them. Animation back in the days before direct advertisement was legal was cheap and disposable. Maybe as the income gap widens and later generations fail to have as much disposable income, more obscure 70s IPs will be mined out for their nostalgia value, but 80s IPs have more built-in merchandising anyways.

I watched probably more Josie and the Pussycats In Space than is healthy due to being rural and really really bored and they flat out had Shaggy and Fred recolours. (and the Shaggy had glasses) Though did mix up the formula a little with the Pussycats characters themselves, since they had the dumb blonde and the tagalong girl who's a massive bitch. The weird thing is a lot of episodes could basically be knockoffs of Star Trek plots. (though the setup might be more MST3K minus the movies) I did watch a huge block of old H-B funny animal cartoons (Wally Gator and the like) and I could feel my brain shutting down in self-defense.

I think Josie should move from the Riverdale spinoff to her own spinoff show where they do a Riverdale-esque adaptation of both Josie cartoons.Mraagvpeine posted:Do you remember the Scooby Doo imitators?

The Bee posted:I legit remember Jabberjaw more for that ska-rear end music video than for anything from the actual show. Like, seriously, a lot of H-B characters have more cultural cache for being referenced in 90s and 00s Cartoon Network stuff than their own shows. To this day, I'm still not convinced the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt actually had a TV show of their own.
