Futaba Anzu posted:what happened with regular show where the final episode ended up being some kinda dramatic battle? i only watched a bit of season 1 and it just kinda seemed like lowkey whimsical comedy at that point In true "we're a genre savvy show that's on our last season fashion," they go to space because major setting changes to try and revitalize a show is what always happens in an inevitable last season

achillesforever6 posted:I'm amped up for Samurai Jack season 5 I very much wager that they'll keep Aku on the DL just because Mako is dead and anyone trying to emulate Aku might be less than well received to the fans without due preparation or adjustment. There's blood! Surprising since they did all they could to show it without ever showing it before. It'll definitely be interesting.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:With everyone going crazy over the ending of "Just Friends," I haven't heard anyone comment on Jackie's passing comment that she used to live down by the river and yet didn't know about the crazy hair lady. I've heard theories that her aquatic theme is more than just a fashion statement, so that could be foreshadowing to her finally getting more character development than "chill skater chick." After all, it's pretty clear at this point that Earth's reputation as "the safe dimension" is well known throughout the multiverse. It'd explain Oskar's fangs, too. I just assumed Jackie was joking. That ending went in a direction I didn't expect and probably will have actual ramifications as opposed to the 16 years in another dimension taht MArco spent.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:I suppose "Stakes" and "Islands" from Adventure Time would count. I imagine that green, at the very least, is tied to an emotion. Probably anger or some sort of state of madness. As for Collateral Damage, it looked like she was using Levitato which she wasn't able to quite do when she was examined.

I had forgotten it existed until I tried to remember all of the media they were in. It ran for 1 season or 39 episodes.

Play the audio of a different episode or series or continue the googly eye thing or adulterate it such that it's not watchable as a proper episode

Guy Mann posted:We Bare Bears is cute but it's the kind of show where after about 20 episodes I just fell off of watching it because I felt like I had already seen everything it had to offer. Not every show has to have serialized plots and world-ending stakes but at that point the show just started to slide from my mind like teflon whenever I saw it was yet another episode about Panda being an awkward loveshy weeaboo or Grizz failing to understand basic human things like a fuzzy Amelia Bedelia. They started doing more of the young Bears plots and they seem a lot more interesting or at least more tolerable

Waffleman_ posted:Remember that they were completely ready to run an entire day of Ben 10 when they only had 5 episodes in the can. CN is desperate for another Teen Titans Go, especially right now when they seem to be bleeding their shows dry between Regular Show, Adventure Time, Clarence, Uncle Grandpa, and the uncertain future of Gumball. The fact that they're not even willing to rerun the cancelled shows seems bizarre to me.

SlothfulCobra posted:I feel like for all of its making fun of fans who just want the old show back, TTG did come from a genuine place of liking the original series, they just were focused on doing a new, different thing. The last episode of TTG was a repeat of the original series, I'm not sure what to make of that. It was clearly aware of it and pointed it out at the end, but the episode's premise was something just silly enough that TTG could go for an episode that was mostly similar and still come out unique.

SlothfulCobra posted:They also slightly redesigned the aesthetic of the show, just enough to miss the entire point of the original designs but not actually put any real personal spin on them. The professor loses his harsh angles and the girls' noodle limbs got shortened even more. All the colors are also all washed-out for some reason too. They're just blindly copying without really knowing why. I haven't watched too much of the new show, but the episodes I've seen alternate between being boring and trying too hard to be viral. I don't think PPGZ gained any traction stateside, though I don't think much effort was put into pushing it anyhow. Afaict, it was a pretty by the numbers Magical Girl series except they added a boy who was a protege of the professor I think and love interest to one of the girls.

SlothfulCobra posted:I had to look it up, because I'm terrible at remembering dates, but Sheep in the Big City, Time Squad, Samurai Jack, Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars, Megas XLR, Chowder, and Flapjack. I also remember enjoying Cartoon Cartoon Fridays back in the day, although it probably doesn't hold up at all now. There was a thing where they aired a bunch of pilots and let the audience vote on them. Iirc, Sheep in the Big City was one of the series that won one of the pilot voting things. Same as Whatever Happened to Robot Jones and Billy and Mandy (which ended up getting a mildly amusing spin-off). I sorta feel bad for Maxwell Atoms since his latest project got a 40 11-minute episode order but it got sent to Boomerang after airing eight episodes. Speaking of old CN cartoon producers, Tom Warburton (of KND fame) is now producing a Muppet Babies reboot for Disney

I wouldn't say it turned into hot garbage until the Fourth season which was the one where they were in the future or something iirc (I stopped watching before then).

Benne posted:I could've sworn Fairly OddsParents went off the air like 8 years ago. They're still making new episodes in TYOOL 2017 They milked the hell out of Season 9(!), which was spawned after a year long hiatus, for two years. Then they went and got a tenth season made. All of them have been aired abroad and that sort of thing generally heralds a "we don't give a gently caress about this series" alarm. Part of the season also switched over to Flash. It had also already had production ceased once before (season 5 was to be the last at the time).

FronzelNeekburm posted:On one hand, Avatar was a creative world with great characters and ideas. On the other hand, Korra really struggled with the "seasons as independent mini-series" pacing. If they were to come back, I think they'd need to commit to doing longer seasons and arcs because tight pacing doesn't seem to be their strength. Either that or focus on standalone stories with a Problem of the week style format and maybe a hint of overarching plot

TwoPair posted:Same. It also felt like a story without an end goal, if that makes sense. Last Airbender had a structure even if it went and did comedy or other stuff along the way. The entire series had one end goal: Defeat the Fire Nation, and each season led to that goal by having Aang learn an element (while his companions experienced their own personal growth). It doesn't make sense if you forget that there's a mental/emotional component to bending. Aang had the most difficulty with Earth since it contrasted too much with his own mindset (it's been a while since I watch AtLA so I might be a little off). In Korra's case, she couldn't quite get Airbending since her own mindset wasn't quite in tune with what wss needed for Airbending.

The big thing I wish there was more of from S3 and 4 is more Zaheer and his crew and more of the old Gaang faffing about like Old Lady Toph

That shot at the end where she shoots her wand at Ludo that's supposed to mimic the first intro is SO FLAT when you've seen the first intro doing that for so long. Probably because the other studio has all of the art assets that would make that task a whole lot easier and also have the exact same timings

It also had Azula having to lead the way since she knew enough to lead them there before subsequently escaping. I didn't actually read this one myself, but I've read the others. The next arc resolves Azula's escape. Other cool stuff from the comics: Toph starts a Metalbending school and becomes a controlling interest in a mining company. We also see her parents. We see the precursor of those people who end up becoming the Air Acolytes.

Madurai posted:Congrats on going to a school that wasn't a dystopic jockocracy, I guess. Maybe things have changed since the Eighties, but I doubt it. It depends on the school size and region I think. When I went to high school in the mid 00s at a small town in Florida, a sizable number of the academic high achievers were also in sports. Mind, all of our sports teams sucked or, at very best, did decent in the division. Divisions were more based on race, SES and whether or not you wore flannel regularly

I'm not exactly expecting to be blown away by it, but from what I've seen so far it looks like it'll be a pretty enjoyable show. The voices are different, but they've grown on me, and I really like the animation style they've gone with, as well as the emphasis on going back to the original comics as inspiration instead of simply treading the same ground as the previous show.
