SlothfulCobra posted:Looking back at the April Fools episode, you really feel for Squidward. Spongebob put Squidward in the hospital, drove him to suicide, and might've actually killed him a couple times, a little garbage is nothing in comparison. The april fools episode was a season 1 episode, back when Squidward was less sympathetic (if only by the fact that the other characters were more sympathetic) and the most screwing over happened in episodes where he was essentially hoisting his own petard (such as Opposite Day and Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost) VolticSurge posted:Two words: Target demographics. And another 2 words: Casey Alexander. I think Casey was just a storyboard artist, not an outline writer.

VolticSurge posted:He IS partly to blame for the Squidward abuse,from what I understand. I mean, he goes out of his way to defend The Splinter on Twitter,so he's a few bees short a hive. I don't entirely remember the splinter (though I know why it's hated) and I don't think it was a squidward torture porn episode Kinda a moot point now, as there was a 2nd exodus of writers and boarders before and during the 2nd movie

Megaspel posted:There's poo poo loads of Spongebob I've never seen apparently. I only watched it as a kid, and now it doesn't really appeal to me any more, and apparently it went downhill after the early seasons? I've heard that the 2nd movie was good and that the episodes produced after the 2nd movie are good (by post movie standards). But yeah things started getting dire during season 4 (though early season 4 was good)

mycot posted:Spongebob is one of those shows with a really obvious "line of demarcation" between the quality and poo poo episodes. It's when the first movie is released. Eh early season 4 was decent. I think the last episode often cited as still good is that season's mermaid man and barnicle boy episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5GFWMnY6dc computer parts posted:It helps there was a major hiatus around that same time. It's because they halted production of season 9 when the 2nd movie went into production: The first 11 half hours primarily aired (and were all produced) from 2012-13 (with some stragglers in 2014, including one that wasn't aired until shortly after the 2nd movie) while the remaining 15 are airing from 2015-16. Why do I know so much about spongebob production when I haven't seen the show myself since 09

I only brought him up in the first place because the whole "promotes bullfighting" thing sounded familiar. I don't agree with a chunk of his opinions (though Awful Hospital is great) and I agree that we probably shouldn't be dwelling on him. To change topic: What's your guy's opinions of the old 80's-early 00's trend of giving every remotely popular movie a cartoon, regardless of the film's original target audience? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8tPiOaxn2E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4WPqOzpSg0

Mr Interweb posted:Since we're talking about shows from the late 90s....what did y'all think of Cow and Chicken? Wasn't allowed to watch it as a kid because of the crude humor, though I do remember enjoying the times I secretly watched it. I find it interesting that it (and it's spin off I Am Weasel) were the only ones of the in-house (as in, made by Hannah Barbera/CN Studios) Cartoon Cartoons to have a radically distinct artstyle until Robot Jones. (Ed, Edd n Eddy, Mike, Lu & Og, Courage, and Sheep in the Big City were made by other production companies)

Years after Cow and Chicken a innocent toyetic Korean cartoon about environmentalism was picked up for a dub, the company that picked it up decided to do something interesting with it, they got David Feiss involved, and  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtNMnZ27RV4 yes that is Flavor Flav

Corek posted:Cow and Chicken was already being phased out when I started watching CN as a kid. I think it was the first of the Cartoon Cartoons to end. You'd be correct: Looking it up, the final episode of Cow and Chicken premiered in late July '99 (I think it was after the show ended that I Am Weasel spun off into it's own show where the episodes of it's cow and chicken run were combined into individual half hours while a further 9 half hours worth of episodes were produced) In an alternate reality where Dexter's Lab never got revived Dexter's Lab technically would've been the 2nd to go (the final episode of Tartakovsky's run was in summer of '98 (before powerpuff girls premiered) while Ego Trip was december '99)

PicklePants posted:God drat, those Mickey Shorts are creative and beautiful, especially for using flash. It just goes to show you what COULD be done with it. Actually Mercury Filmworks (the animation studio that does the Mickey Shorts and a lot of other modern Disney shows) uses ToonBoom, though given that A: Roughly half of the crappy looking "flash" cartoons are actually made in ToonBoom and B: I'm pretty sure that a good chunk of the "non-flash" cartoons do use flash, but just draw things frame by frame like cel animation instead of the techniques used by both crappy "flash" cartoons and Mercury Filmworks's output, your point still stands.

Waffleman_ posted:Yeah, when they first showed the pilot for Clarence, I actually got mad at how boring it was, and that went over into the advertising, which I thought looked awful, but then the show comes along and it's quite good. Even the pilot's good, though I don't know how much of that is the original pilot and how much is expansion. the only thing the expansion added was the framing device and the piñata song (the pilot had jeff saying that he loves piñatas)

After the last show runner left they've pretty much not had any of the things people complained about and it's mostly been Finn and Jake having adventures Adam Muto's still the showrunner (and if you're talking about Jmoyns, who along with Herpich had been a pretty prominent boarder, often coming up with his own episodes, his last episode only aired a few weeks ago)

Y-Hat posted:It's a shame that there isn't much/any room for non-Marvel cartoons on Disney channels these days, and also that the Marvel shows that we do have are subpar. There's a few more disney shows lined up the next few years; the Big Hero 6 cartoon, the Tangled cartoon, the DuckTales reboot, the show from Aaron Springer (of Spongebob, Samurai Jack, Krogoth, and Mickey Mouse fame) called Billy Dilley's Subterranean Summer, and another show called Country Club. Apparently the Loud House (created by Chris Savino, who was the showrunner for both the Dexter's Lab revival and the final two seasons of Powerpuff Girls) is beating Spongebob in ratings.

Y-Hat posted:Wow, that's not a good previous track record at all. His artistic track record's a bit more varied; he storyboarded on a ton of of the old cartoon cartoons, as well as getting his start as a layout artist on Ren & Stimpy and a character/prop designer on Rocko's Modern life. He was also a producer/director on the first aka good season of Johnny Test. His writing record also includes a few older powerpuff girls episodes (he was apparently hand picked by McCracken himself to take over, and the show had ended not because the network decided to renew it but because both him and McCracken decided that the show was getting stale), a few various episodes of various shows (the mickey mouse short that he did that I linked earlier in the thread was pretty good), and this old pilot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mTtJlBkack

But I would like a Goon's stance on the show.Might help me decide,either way. From what I've seen, the good stuff (usually involving Eggman or Knuckles) are like tasty fruit nuggets in a sea of bland, unflavored oatmeal
