I think you're expecting something from The Loud House that it's perfectly fine not giving. It's just a little slice of life show.

I’d just like... any sort of effort really. I’ve seen so many other shows (including episodic slice of life deals) knock this kind of material out of the park. That TLH doesn’t even seem interested in swinging the bat is incredibly frustrating to me.

I can't imagine having a strong opinion on Loud House, and that's after watching a marathon block and going "eh, this is fine"

My son is in love with The Loud House and I can only describe it as "aggressively mediocre." What I don't get is how there are adult fans, and yes I know that bronies are a thing that exists.

I've only seen Loud House on Italian TV, so I can't comment on the writing, but there's something about the art style that rubs me totally the wrong way. It's like a bad newspaper cartoon - 'bad' in the sense that it's technically proficient, but somehow you know it goes for the cheapest, laziest jokes possible. The show could be an animated Seinfeld or Frasier and I still wouldn't want to watch it, purely because of the way it looks.

Frederator is partnering with Sony Pictures Animation to do another cartoon shorts anthology called GO! Cartoons (similar to Oh Yeah! or Random! Cartoons and the like but just one at a time, direct to YouTube). I always appreciated those so I'm glad to see it. That said I thought the first short was pretty derivative and unsatisfyingly gross, but hopefully they improve.

Labes for days posted:My son is in love with The Loud House and I can only describe it as "aggressively mediocre." What I don't get is how there are adult fans, and yes I know that bronies are a thing that exists. I think it comes down to the way TLH *feels* like it should be a much better show than it actually is. It’s general design aesthetic is strong, the voice acting is decent, the characters are distinct and memorable, and it’s got a lot of progressive elements baked into it (Most of the cast is female, Clyde has two dads, etc). It’s only when you stop to really look at things closely that you notice that the whole thing is built on a foundation of some of the laziest writing on television. If you never bother to actually think about what you’re watching (and to be fair it’s TLH so why would most people) you can convince yourself that the show is good based on these surface elements alone. Basically, TLH is the Batman V Superman of cartoons. Benne posted:I can't imagine having a strong opinion on Loud House, and that's after watching a marathon block and going "eh, this is fine" I have intense opinions on everything I consume regardless of how culturally significant it may or may not be. I think I may have a problem  . In this case though I’m fascinated by the gap between what the show could be and what it actually is. There’s no reason TLH can’t be one of those shows we geek out over regularly here. All the necessary ingredients are there. But since no one in the writers room gives a drat it’s just... not. It’s a shame really.

The adult fans of The Loud House are probably worse about it than bronies ever were, except they're much less outspoken and more sequestered to a few places.

It's subjective, as I think the art and animation style is very charming and one of the stronger aspects of the show, but you hit the nail on the head with it feeling like a newspaper comic. It's the sort of thing I would have totally eaten up as a kid, but if you're looking to enjoy it as an adult without turning off your brain, good luck.

Judging from some of the commercials I've seen, the newspaper comic thing is a deliberate aesthetic.

I like The Loud House. It's inoffensive and light which is why I like it. Sometimes you just want a dollar menu cheeseburger.

Gaunab posted:I like The Loud House. It's inoffensive and light which is why I like it. Sometimes you just want a dollar menu cheeseburger. I don't know, for the most part you're right but the show can send some shockingly  messages from time to time. Clyde's stalker-in-training behavior in particular always rubbed me the wrong way since it's played for laughs and Lincoln never calls him out on that poo poo. I'm also still flabergasted by the episode where Lincoln's family (including his parents who should know better) ban him from all their activities, kick him out of the house, and sell all his furniture because they thought he was unlucky (for very stupid reasons). It was supposed to be funny but was mostly just really uncomfortable to watch and I shudder to think what a kid going through actual neglect would take away from all of this. Lincoln even has to earn his family's love and attention back because apparently by the show's logic being abandoned by your entire family is karmic comeuppance for lying to get out of a few of your 10k+ familial obligations. That's right, It's Lincoln's own fault that his family abandons him. But it's OK, because in the end the family says "Whoops! Our bad!" and everything is fine. Not because they treated him poorly but because they realized he wasn't unlucky after all so they were safe to let him in the house again. No lasting emotional scars from weeks of honest to God emotional abuse here! Lincoln certainly won't be spending nights awake, haunted by the knowledge that his family will throw him away the moment he becomes inconvenient. It's all good! Roll credits. Like, seriously show what the actual gently caress!?  Fake edit: Oh! And for bonus outrage watch an episode of Milo Murphy's law after watching that episode. It's kind of amazing how MML takes the same basic premise but manages to make it into something uplifting about being flexible and sticking with people in spite of their flaws while TLH literally justifies abuse. It's like a perfect case study in why TLH sucks and MML is fantastic.

Island Adventures is probably among the worst episodes of the entire series too, christ. What is TTG 2006, is that a new two-parter? I haven't had cable for a few months now so I don't know what they show on CN anymore. Apparently things haven't changed much.

I really liked the Island Adventure, especially the songs, but just like how TTG in general is alright but gets tired if you air it too much, the exact same episodes again and again are bound to get real old if they just get repeated constantly in quick succession.

I think my favourite moment in Milo Murphy with that kind of tone thing was in the climax of the first story with the Pistachians, when Milo has gone missing and the rest of the gang are fighting the Tim Minchin in the modern day towards the end - they pull out the hedgeclippers and the pins all immediately break. The mood starts off hopeless until they realise the meaning of what just happened - "What are the odds that all three would break at once?  Wait... MILO'S BACK  :"I also like him and his dad's shared biases. Mr Murphy: "Snow is soft, and melts easily. Concrete is the worst invention known to man  ." Milo *chiming in*: "The worst..."

One thing I do appreciate about Loud House is that, even with the deliberately status quo writing, there's a sincere attempt at diversity/inclusion, which shouldn't go overlooked. Someone earlier in this thread made a good point about that -- it can't just be the critical darlings that get all the LGBT representation. The middlebrow, unambitious shows need it, too. And the way they go about it ("yeah this kid has two dads, and that girl has a crush on another girl, this is all cool and normal") is legitimately refreshing. So in that sense, I'm glad TLH exists, even if I never go out of my way to watch it. Benne fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Nov 20, 2017 |

It’s month old news now but yeeeeeeesh 😬 i just found out about the The Loud House creator being fired for being a loving creep. It’s kind of soured me on watching it for a bit. The show’s far from perfect, but the super bouncy animation and genuinely funny voice acting behind some of the siblings made it a good show to unwind too. Assuming it gets axed after this season airs, hopefully the cast and crew’ll line up more work within Nickelodeon

I'm actually glad TLH isn’t getting canned believe it or not. I wasn’t kidding when I said the show has a ton of potential so I’m very interested to see what getting in someone new at the top will do for it. Any word on who’s taking over yet?

With the Powerpuff Girls special and this Ben 10 special airing right now, it feels like Cartoon Network has realized the diminishing returns of the bomb-style events, but they already had these groups of episodes written as bombs, so they just have to air them all at once as a movie. At least for stuff that's not like Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and TTG.

Not to mention they are likely banking on its success seeing as how they are saying its a combo of the Lego movie team and the animators of Teen Titans Go. Maybe that will bring kids to view it if they actually loving show it, And yeah, did you really need to buy like 100 rib roasts and so many shrimp and just dump them on a table CN?
