It feels like a mediocre Disney channel tween sitcom to me, something about the jokes just leaves me cold. I feel about the same with the Wander Over Yonder show. Not nearly as good as Gravity Falls, either of them

Sorry guys, it's me. I started Venture Brothers right at the end of Season 4. I enjoy Metalocaplyse. Then I found Gravity Falls right before the most recent episode (so like 5 months ago at this point). I just started watching Steven Universe on Hulu the other day.

Really, if you want your show to continue without pause, don't let me find out about it.

Please do, it is so good. I would go so far as to say that GF, SU, and Rick and Morty are the three best animated shows in recent memory, and that's including Korra, Over the Garden Wall, etc.

Fighting words, I know.

The only thing that's been bothering me lately is the INCREDIBLE amount of Bipper art and other vaguely creepy possession-y stuff. Like, did hundreds of teenagers and college kids discover they have a weird possession fetish at the same time? I'd much rather see cute, whimsical, or naive fanart over this dark and dreary nonsense.

Seven idiots and a bear walk into a dragon's lair.

Steven Universe is good but it's much more obviously a kids show than Gravity Falls is. I mean, Gravity Falls is a kid's show, it's got morality lesson episodes and filler episodes, but SU just feels like it has a lot more of them (probably because it has so many more episodes). I loved the plot episodes but the rest of it grated on my nerves if I watched too many episodes in a row. This isn't me complaining about the show - I'm not even close to the target demographic and I won't fault a children's show for appealing to children. Just... consider this fair warning if you're thinking about giving it a go.

The_Doctor posted:

Dipper/Pacific isn't even close to the worst thing fandoms, or even the Gravity Falls fandom in particular, have produced. At least they're the same age and species, and neither of them are demons who like gore.

I think this is a fair interpretation, but after the first...ten or so episodes, maybe, Steven Universe does an excellent job of avoiding "filler" episodes. Almost everything advances the plot a tiny bit or explores a character in a fulfilling way.

Also SU has 57 episodes, even if they're only 11 minutes, so it's super varied and satisfying to binge.

Steven Universe is extremely good go watch it now to try and ease the pain of no Gravity Falls.

Of course then you'll have to endure the pain of no Steven Universe too but it's worth it.

People really need to learn what filler actually is
There's nothing wrong with episodic story-telling.
Not every single show needs every single episode to tie into an overarching story.

On the subject of fandoms: the social contract on Tumblr is something along the lines of "we are going to tag everything that could even vaguely upset you so you can block it, but you don't get to talk poo poo when you see it" which is something you people need to start doing ASAP.
