Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

Kids love dark stories, there is a reason FNAF and it’s various clones are so popular.

The child audience is why what little edge the series had got filed away over time. It's barely a horror series anymore, just mystery games with jumpscares sometimes.

 

[Codify]

I wish close enough hadn’t been so abysmally marketed that it was cancelled so soon, really felt like an actual adult cartoon that focused on turning mundane situations into fun surreal adventures. It was so refreshing to see an adult show that didn’t rely on edgy gross out humour or extreme violence for comedy. I wish J.Q Quintel would go onto produce something else but we’ll have to see.

At least stuff like goosebumps and are you afraid of the dark knew they were schlock and cheesy kids horror and didn't start off trying to be dark and serious only to get dumbed down for an audience never meant for it from the start.

As a kid you laugh at mordecai and Rigby, as adults you relate to the families and couples of close enough.

Remember that show called "We Baby Bears"? The sea chapters are about the two writers (Mikey Heller and Kris Mukai) coping about Elon Musk and apparently Jeff Bezos(?)

It's not a situation like gumball with trump because the show is boring and most of that conflict resumes on "Musk = Bad"

Not a coincidence that the only writers doing this abomination are leftists

Are you seriously watching a 16:9 broadcast squeezeboxed into a 4:3 CRT just to complain about a show not even kids are watching going "Bezos bad"

I don't know anything about Clone High and its premise never interested me, but the contrast in character design between the old and new seasons is night and day enough to immediately turn me off the reboot.

Like what the FUCK happened?

MTV went from making content actual people wanted to making garbage only its degenerate creators wanted.

I recognize Frida Kahlo, because any depiction of her is ugly as sin, but who the hell are the other two supposed to be? I'd guess Emperor Hirohito for the Asian one but no way they could pick someone that controversial in Current Year.

They are supposed to be Harriet Tubman and Confucius.

I don't think they'd get away with hirohito anyway since he was parodied super hard and is essentially *the* Jap stereotype.
Goofy characters look like him a lot in JP media but you wouldn't get away with it as a roundeye.

 

[Spooky Cloud Strife]

Season 3 probably is the best season to leave on. 4 and 5 will just piss you off for how much they set up for other characters just to throw it out the window so they can crowbar it back to Marinette and her wacky antics (THAT WAS TOTALLY A TRAUMA RESPONSE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN HINTED AT OR MENTIONED BEFORE).

Don´t forget that his neckbeard stupid ass creator is technically a lolcow at this point....honestly his grudge with that stereotypical queen bee blonde character is pathetic and super schizo

Here's a relic from a better time.

There was a titok artist I liked that made redesigns of Harriet Tubman and Frida Kahlo that looked SO much better.

They're not perfect, but as far as "high school clones of famous people in a UPA inspired art style" go, these are more recognizable and more appealing by miles. I don't mind the reboot's Confucius design, it's about as Confucius as Gandhi is Gandhi, but the girls got the real short end of the stick.

 

[Colon capital V]

Someone repost the prototype designs for Harriet, literally almost every design of her is better than what they went with.

NOOOOO! I need my blindingly bright colors or else I can't focus on the– hey look! A squirrel!

There was a background Harriet in the original run:

Then some leaked concept art, is this what you were referring to?

I also found a bg Frida Kahlo from the original series, but jesus christ

Unpopular opinion, but I keep thinking that Justin Timberlake’s voice acting was out of place in Shrek The Third. For me, I was confused as to why I waited almost seventeen years later to think about this, but I never could get why he needed to be the in third installment.

Maybe I should rewatch it sometime.

That's the second time in my life I was startled to find out a member of NSYNC voiced something I'm familiar with...

but I never could get why he needed to be the in third installment.

I think he was making a comeback or something around that time if the Chipmunks movie is anything to go by. Remember, he was Theodore in those movies. Oh shit, no, that was Jesse McCartney. I think the point still stands, everyone at that time really wanted a music star hearthrob in their movies.

It's pretty much the same reason why Taylor Swift and Zac Efron were in The Lorax, star power.
