It's really gone downhill since Jailbreak pt.2, IMO. I dunno how they managed to take a show about a team of magic space lesbians and make it boring but they found a way.

Anyway, I'm way more into Undertale now.

Gumball is great but my wife and I agree it's too scary for actual children. Our daughters got really stressed out by the happiness plague episode because it had all the beats and atmosphere of a legit zombie horror but they lacked the understanding to get the joke that the characters were "happy" so to them it was straight horror.

We should have learned our lesson with Phineas and Ferb's "Night of the Living Pharmacists" which also gave them nightmares.

Giant lesbians who breath fire and do underground wrestling. Sometimes there's singing though.

Maybe in season 1 that's what it was about, now it's like the writers are trying to see just how peripheral they can make the show's more fantastical aspects and also the songs aren't as good.

it is my sincere hope that a person who would normally find steven universe to be very fun and intertaining and would even bother to incorporate the show into their daily lives runs across this thread where %99 of the goons are making GBS threads on it, and they see that and they go "whoa, not for me" and so they flap away and decide to never have anything to do with this lovely cartoon

because isn't that the reason we're all here

I thought the reason we're all here was because every single person in this thread actually watches the show and wants to talk about it but also be cool and pretend we hate it.

like most popular things i watch a couple episodes, feel myself getting excited for it, then look slightly to the right and see a billion gross loving morons taking the show places I'd never think to take it and also posting awful fanart and claiming a level of ownership over the material i find incredibly impertinent and assuming, then I realize that when i tell someone that i watch a show or even call myself a "fan" of it, they're going to see all those morons and do the math and say "I AM THE TOILET is every bit as dumb and loving gross and stupid as those assholes, and I must call the police to protect my family"

The giant woman song is the only good thing to come out of the show, but it speaks to everyone's desires to see a giant woman. Not even necessarily in a fetish way. But like... How you look up there's a rainbow or the moon is huge and orange and you stop for a second to just appreciate the natural phenomenon and all amazing things the universe is capable of.

But instead of light refraction or whatever it's a four-armed space lady made from merged gay space rocks.

Haha wouldn't it be cool to just climb into her giant cleavage and ride in it? Not in a sexual way but in the way it would be fun to ride between two mountains of pudding.

Rick and Morty seemed a little hit or miss but it definitely had some funny parts. What I don't get is when you get a comedy show and people examine the finer points of the over arching plot like its a drama. Even callbacks to previous characters in something like Always Sunny barely need it, so why do people talk about character arcs in poo poo like Rick and Morty and Archer and all of these nebulous 'adult' cartoon series.

Watch a show and have some laughs and that's where you should stop probably. You can buy one (1) piece of merchandise that you can wear around the house with close friends.

The "character arcs" of Rick and Morty are purely a fan concoction. Iirc Dan Harmon has explicitly spoken out against any sort of arc or continuity in the show beyond a bare minimum required to maintain a coherent series.

Why are you guys even visiting the wikis and Tumblr? It's not like they're posted on the screen while the show airs, or you need to access them in order to watch the show. Like, finding them takes effort and they can't be stumbled upon.

In all my time watching and enjoying Rick and Morty I have managed to do so without ever viewing a wiki or seeing more than maybe 1 or 2 items of fanart and I have no idea how this stuff could bother anyone not actively seeking it out.

Probably not, this timeline is so different Kansas is the center of movie production in the continent we call North America.

I always interpreted that line to mean that the mailman guy never even made it as far as Hollywood and instead was so pathetic he couldn't even make it in the local Kansas scene. Was there ever a statement that officially indicated Kansas was their Hollywood?
