Did anyone else have the Magic School Bus CD-ROM? That thing was amazing; I might have to track down a copy, for old times sake.

So what's happening with the final episode of Gravity Falls? Was the whole thing horrendously unpopular or something? The airing of the last few episodes has been dragged out to an absurd degree.

I am way behind on cartoons because I spent a few years deluding myself that I'd like anime if I only gave it more of a try, so I only picked up Gravity Falls somewhere around the mid-S2 break. At which point I discovered it was ending. :( It's not a bad place to end it, mind, although it seems like they could have easily cranked out a decent third season.

It's a shame to hear all of that; I watched TMNT until the end of season 2, but everything that happened with Karai stank of not allowing her to catch a break.

Was it a reference to the Windows NT kernel? Because fair play if it was.

Since the only super-hero cartoon I've ever watched is DangerMouse, the idea of people having actual meltdowns over them is hilarious.

Well, there is a new series out...

The Simpsons came into its own when it found the defining characteristic for each character and brought it to the fore.

Then it turned everyone into an angry or depressed sad sack with their defining characteristic dialled to eleven, so everyone became this weird schizophrenic; Moe explodes at people then bursts into tears, Nelson insults people then bursts into tears, Flanders yells at people then delivers kind words with a bright smile (or vice versa), Burns does something evil then immediately becomes frail and confused, etc etc.

The Poochy episode clearly comes from a place of hard, painful experience and is absolutely phenomenal as a result.

The only character I cared about after a point was Hinata and it became increasingly obvious she would never do anything. Fast forward several years and she apparently never did anything, incredible! At least she achieved her goal in the end.

Pour one out for Tenten; she achieved literally absolutely nothing (outside of filler), and even at the end when she got hold of the weapon that could stop the bad guy which required exactly her kind of expertise, she was immediately locked up in a cocoon and taken out of the series.

My only exposure to Uncle Grandpa was the Steven Universe crossover and I hated it down to the very marrow in my bones.

David Tennant has a pretty broad Scottish accent, he's just good at masking it. Should be a legit good choice, not just a big name.

I don't remember us having the entire Super Show in the UK, just the separate cartoons. I definitely never saw the live action segments.

Tangled was stupendously expensive, so I guess when faced with a choice between low budget 3D and low budget 2D they decided that 2D was still the better choice. I imagine that if it was 3D it would be compared unfavourably to the film.

Is miraculous also on the UK Netflix? We always end up with the short end every time and I can't use a tunneling program on my ps4 to bypass the region options.

No, but I've seen some big toy displays going up in various places, so apparently it's picking up over here. Maybe on one of the kids channels?

I've also hit the point with Star Vs where I'm looking forward to watching the next episode. It didn't quite grab me at first and Mewberty in particular, other than introducing Glossarick, struck me as an eye-rollingly pointless episode based on a "haha, girls be cray-cray for boys, amirite?!" trope that really doesn't need to exist in anything ever anymore, but Freeze Day got me just because it filled air time for a minute by ignoring the plot for frozen time shenanigans.

Also: no to individual threads. For franchises and really, really long series that always have fun poo poo to discuss in the downtime it's fine, but otherwise people get bored, the shitposting starts and the thread gets locked. An occasional few pages of posts dedicated to one series does not new thread material make.

I'd be more willing to believe that Marvel and DC are taking a more progressive stance to female characters if they weren't still largely drawing them in panties and/or vacuum packing their costumes around the curvature of their breasts.

Haven't watched the films, but I tried watching one of the Cloudy episodes and the grown man in a diaper is enough that no-one who worked on this show should be allowed to work on anything ever again.

If they changed his surname and cut out the words 'super duper' the title might work, but as it stands it feels like a mess that doesn't quite work.

Unfortunately the trailer looks like that too. It's mostly his expressions, which are uncomfortably weird.

already seeing people angry he's Hispanic now.

Because of course.

When Thunderbirds Are Go first came out, aside from people bitching that the near-identical opening wasn't identical enough, people were raging about a minority woman being added to the cast in a clear case of political correctness Gone Mad. None of them apparently realised that she was literally an amalgamation of two previous characters, which you would think that self-proclaimed fans of the franchise would notice immediately.

And that's why the British get exactly the kind of half-baked crap that they barely deserve in the first place.

Edit: Also this:

Robin Hood as a character seems pretty tapped out; it doesn't matter what they tinker with, everyone just immediately responds with 'uh huh, sure, so it's Robin Hood then' with no real enthusiasm.

e: In fact if you took any reference to Robin Hood out of this series then I'd immediately be more interested. It's character fatigue.
