I mean, part of the problem was that there wasn't an entire half of the Internet dedicated to furry porn and message boards, so all these people were hanging out in AOL chatrooms where kids were. 90's internet land will forever be to me as it was shown in Reboot.

Did you also notice that the skit referenced Pavlov's dogs, which was instrumental in formulating modern understandings of conditioning? If you wanna be TVIV's equivalent to SMG you should go hog wild instead of half-assing it, imo.

Rita Repulsa posted:The adventure time staff is cool, man, is there anyone you can't find a reason to feel superior to I certainly didn't mean to imply that everything geared towards an older audience has to be a profound parable with sixteen possible interpretarions. Nothing wrong with some good old silliness from time to time. But there is so much potential in animation, and a lot of it remains untapped because Disney taught the West to associate cartoons with children's entertainment. Your impression of Buffy is a great example: if that had been an animated show, they could have made both fight scenes and the monsters themselves more interesting. I would have loved to see a teenage monster hunter duke it out with demons straight out of the Lesser Key of Solomon.

Next time you have the urge to report or quote someone for making really dumb posts you don't agree with, however stupid they may be, might I suggest you forgo the report or quote buttons and instead add said user to your ignore list. This will improve your life, my life, and the lives of many other posters. Reporting is for people breaking actual rules. Not just being really annoying.

I actually lied a little. I have seen a few episodes of Adventure Time. That said, move the Adventure Time thread to GBS. Also I'm now two episodes into Motorcity and I'm liking it well enough. The characterization has brick-like subtlety, but the action set pieces are well animated. Level Slide fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Jul 20, 2014 |

Even in movies with decent computer animation it's starting to wear thin. Has it improved at all with recent shows? But yes I think CN shows and anime can be more entertaining than live action TV in a lot of cases. I don't think it's worth critical analysis in most cases though (and neither is live action tv) icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Jul 21, 2014 |

Yes, the new TMNT cartoon on Nick is wonderful. Since it's become a smash-hit, they've gotten a bigger budget and can be more detailed with the set pieces. But even in the first season they did a really good job of playing to their strengths. Scenes took place at night, or in confined, dark spaces, but still had detail to everything. Likewise, the characters look great, and the fight scenes are really, really well-choreographed and animated. I think the biggest improvement is that they've been able to increase the amount of extras. Which is good because at the beginning of the show I found myself wondering why New York City was so empty at night.

You can make the goons in this thread poo poo blood at the mere mention of Johnny Test. Granted, it is an awful show. Edit: Also the P&F Star Wars special was pretty good.

I must have hit a nerve or something. It is just hard to watch a show with characters that look and move like they came out of one of those CAD shorts. The voice work is hard to tolerate as well sometimes and I could really do without the sister and her boyfriend.

It has its share of jokes that would fly over kids' heads and I think Regular Show is the only cartoon that more adults I know IRL watch, although I probably would never have watched it if I didn't have kids. I mean there's having your own opinion and then there's saying that it has art direction and animation worse than Johnny Test or CAD which is just objectively wrong.

P&F is a cute show but the visual design of the titular characters is pretty bad and doesn't fit in with the rest of the cast an all. Also taking them into 3d is horrific.
