Wreck-It Ralph was a film for children. Kung-Fu Panda and the sequel were films for children. Adventure Time and Gravity Falls are shows for children.

None of the things you mentioned are "for children". They're all written to appeal to a wide age range. Casper isn't, it's written pretty much just for kids and it shows.

Oh, and Jones was there too.

I think the live-action Casper film was the first thing I ever saw at a real cinema. :allears: It was either that or Babe...

Man, if you thought the first live action Casper movie was bad, I hope you all never stumble across the second one - with even worse CGI and less plot!

If Mort hadn't died he might still be around. Maybe we'll get to see Mort all old and adult-like? or maybe like a seventy-year-old corpse, who knows

When the strip first goes up he'll be some crusty old guy we've never seen before. When this chapter is eventually printed, everything after the second run will feature young Mort.

Space Jam is actually really, really loving bad but we've entered an era where people remember it fondly, usually based off of dumb youtube remixes

I'll admit that Casper probably isn't as good as I remember it. But Space Jam was a legitimately good movie.

Next you'll tell me that D2: The Mighty Ducks sucked.

They are for children. The primary target audience for all of those things is children. It's just that when you write something for children, and you don't talk down to them like they're as dumb as you are, you end up with something that appeals to all ages anyway because it's actually loving good.

Seriously, this whole attitude that if it doesn't suck then it's not really for children is literally how bronies justify themselves. Don't be a brony, Roger.

I remember watching it once or twice as a kid and I didn't even like it, then.

I may have been distracted by the contest I was having in my brain regarding which of the two main characters had the bigger forehead, though.

Space Jam was amazing and one of, if not the, all time greatest.

The sequel will be a narcissistic overhyped primadonna that will never be as good as the original.

Yes, absolutely. Comparing your attitude to an identical attitude literally expressed by many people who exist and are alive right now saying the thing is even worse than comparing you to an abstracted idea that has become more of a shorthand for generic evil than any real expression of the horrendous acts they actually perpetrated. I am so shamed for my misdeeds, for I have wronged greatly, how dare I show my face on the internet in this the two-thousand and fourteenth year of our Lord. Lock me up, throw away the key, whip me until my tenderest areas are naught but hamburger.

I was trying to think of a way to segue Space Jam arguments into Gunnerkrigg Court and now I'm picturing Jones watching Space Jam. I wonder if Jones can judge aesthetics or if she's unaware that Space Jam is a good movie.

Now I want a Kat/Annie/Reynardine+Jones end-of-chapter thing like where they watched Princess Mononoke, but with Space Jam.

Mort's gonna tell the ROTD about his crossing over, and then the multi-headed mass will crash through the door, bellowing "NOOOOOOO YOU SHALL NEVER LEAVE!"

I think that's the assumption we're supposed to be making, since it's been clear from the start that Mort takes his job way too seriously. And that will be backed up when the ROTD tell him it's OK, his job was super important but moving on when he wants to is more important and they'll manage somehow.

Final chapter page is the entire ROTD running around shrieking in panic desperately trying to work out how to cope with this actually rather catastrophic occurance.

My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fibre and that I am therefore excused from saving universes.
Unless Mort's job was providing a reason for Jones to come to and stay at the Court in the first place since she felt a sense of responsibility for the lil ghost.
