It warms my heart to see people like Alex Hirsch using their net-savvy to troll the grimdark "WHOA what if Ed Edd N' Eddy are actually dead and in purgatory and Bobby is actually Bill's son and Dexter was just a figment of DeeDee's imagination the entire time?!" fan speculation instead of making it canon.

Okay, I'll admit that I haven't watched any Ed Edd 'N Eddy or King of the Hill (?) and very little Dexter's Lab. Are these actual things?

If I were a less kind soul I would post that fan storyboard where Dipper's journal was blank the entire time and Mabel was a serial killer with amnesia and Waddles was possessed by the spirit of Gravity Falls.

The "Main character is in a coma/actually dead/has a mental illness that makes them delusional (extra points if they slap on an illness that doesn't cause delusions)" fan theory has been applied to a sickening amount of cartoons, meaning more than zero. Like the infamous Foster's Home fancomic with the snowglobe. I like fan theories, fandom would be kinda boring without them. But theories like that require no imagination beyond "This is all one character's tragic delusion OH THE ANGST look at how grown-up and edgy this makes me look!" :barf:

I see it in so many fandoms because you can just fill in the blanks.

Sure, I once read a huge essay about how Ash is in a coma and the entire Pokemon series is his coma dreams. I guess that's in the same category as "Squall is dead?"

Squall couldn't die because he had to save rinoa or else she couldn't live to become ultimecia and it would be a time paradox. There was a real crazy secret plotline, that was the opposite of "squall is dead".

Yeah but so many people try to apply the St. Elsewhere ending to cartoons to try and make them grimdark instead of just letting them be what they are that it's annoying as hell and incredibly cliche. Not to take anything from the original, however, just that it's dumb to try and apply it to every interesting cartoon that comes around. Which people do, with alarming regularity.

No that was an episode from one of the earlier seasons

The way EE & E really ends is in a movie where we meet Eddy's rear end in a top hat brother and everyone realizes why Eddy is the way that he is and then everyone becomes friends :unsmith:

The Odyssey? Or are there two weird kid in a coma kid shows? I forgot this show existed until I read your comment, not sure many other people will have heard of it because it's Canadian programming. I fondly remember it as 'that really boring show that comes on and then we change the channel to literally anything else.'

I remember being a little surprised at the tone of the movie first time I saw it. There was always that sort of childish zaniness to all the fighting among the cul-de-sac kids, but Eddy's brother was pretty much just straight up abusive.

Yeah that one. I only ever saw like maybe half an episode but I knew it was a thing and saw at least one coma scene.

Eh, seemed a little boring to me. They didn't focus on the odd thing - that there is an actual god of love roaming around. Instead, we got a lot of dull scenes with the teenagers. And I'm getting sick of Mabel. It seems like she's the focus of every episode anymore.
