I just randomly did a search on the Gargoyles episode involving the use of guns and apparently the episode was immediately pulled from reruns after airing. How bout dem apples.

It's on the first season DVD set. Kind of a message heavy episode, but done really well in a way that informs who Broadway is for the rest of the series.

One of my favorite bits about it's aftermath is how it changes Broadway's media preferences, he first likes Westerns, but after that episode his preference switches over to Detective stories where the heroes use their brains and fists to solve their problems instead of guns Really though anyone here who hasn't seen Gargoyles yet(or at the least hasn't seen in the approximately 15 years or so since the last time it reran on TV anywhere) should go buy the three DVD sets for the show's first two seasons* on Amazon as you can get the three of them for about 30 bucks or so, and it's still one of the best action cartoons of all time *the third season has never been released on DVD, but except for it's first episode isn't considered canon anyways

I appreciated a fair amount of The Goliath Chronicles on my last rewatch, but the SLG comics got super hard to follow. I guess they're all out in TPB now? I mostly remember the Timedancer stuff feeling really crammed in at the end.

I'll admit I find Mr Enter entertaining. I know he's pretentious but he has pretty funny moments, like in the recent review of the Totally Spies episode where they open a door with a can opener, he tries to figure out live how the hell that would even work, trying every possible movement in bewilderment.

I usually agree with Mr Enter's opinions about cartoons but I really really hate his voice and his attempts at humor usually fall flat and last too long.

Yeah, I actually like him just fine. He's a weirdo and I don't always agree with him, but he's a harmless weirdo and even his bad opinions tend to be fairly well-thought-out. I just find his never-ending war on Teen Titans Go hilarious.

Casey's a guy also a pilot he created with Lizz Hickey (the creator of Jammers, which he had also co-wrote/boarded) for Nick that hasn't been released yet looks interesting

So I just got done watching an episode of The Loud House where Lincoln's family think he's bad luck so they exclude him from all family events, lock him out of his room, sell his furniture, and make him sleep in the yard. How does no one else see how bad this show is? I swear I'm the only one in the planet that's noticed.

Well, judging by the fanart of it that pops up in the PYF fanart thread, a lot of its audience is broken perverts, so I don't think they're going to be very discerning.

I'm vaguely reminded of the episode of The Proud Family where Al Roker* turns Penny's baby siblings into teenagers, and they become so popular that Penny's friends don't like her any more. * it's a running plot point on TPF that TV weatherman Al Roker is a Mephistophelean figure who can manifest in your home and grant your wishes, with sinister consequences.

Every sitcom-like series has those weird episodes where something happens to alienate the main character from everyone else and everything goes back to status quo by the end. There's probably a trope page for it.

"Be careful what you wish for" storylines are always good, especially when the plot device that takes the place of the "monkey's paw" is creatively written.Xelkelvos posted:Every sitcom-like series has those weird episodes where something happens to alienate the main character from everyone else and everything goes back to status quo by the end. There's probably a trope page for it. I agree that this feels familiar from multiple TV shows and it's usually not believable writing when it happens. I made a post on TVTropes asking about it Edit: Someone replied that it's a combination of Easily Condemned with Status Quo Is God. galenanorth fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Aug 21, 2017 |

Monkey's paw wishes and the like can be done very well when they involve exploring a different take on the established setting and character dynamics. Was kinda the whole point of 'It's A Wonderful Life' and all. Also reminded of the common 'You time travelled to the future, and now everything's hosed sideways without you' thing, I recall Teen Titans and 2000s-era TMNT did it. The whole thing where your future self doesn't exist because you disappeared when you time travelled.

There's one where, I believe, Demona is only able to hurt Eliza because the latter can't get to her gun... because she now puts it in a lockbox like you're supposed to instead of leaving it hanging in the holster.

It strikes me as the kind of show that few outside its target demographic pay attention to so when people make judgement calls on it they go by the little bits they once saw their younger family members watching. They see that the show has a good art style, decent voice acting, a diverse cast and some good character moments and assume the actual writing of the show is just as good as all the other stuff.

The Proud Family was mediocre even by the standards of its day but small touches like that made me wish that it was a better show. I remember the Kwanzaa episode being kind of amazing for how openly cynical and disapproving it was about how shallow and commercialized Christmas has become, after a childhood full of specials dedicated to acting like opening presents on Christmas morning was The Second Coming having a much more grounded and dismissive portrayal where the kids unwrap their toys in seconds and then retreat to their rooms to play leaving their parents dazed and alone kind of kicked rear end.

Elisa got to her gun in time, it's just that she was only suspicious when she got it and Demona ambushed her. She was fine, though, because Demona's dart hit Elisa's badge (which is another nice touch: a badge can't really stop a bullet but it can stop a dart).

Thinking on it - would a lot of the shows that feel mean spirited, like Catdog, have been helped by being more even handed? The characters in Catdog always seemed to be particularly lovely to Cat, but while they ribbed on Dog for his abnormality they at least considered him worth considering in any way - would the show have been improved if it shat on everyone equally? Like giving Cat his own group of friends to exclude Dog at times, that kind of thing. In shows with terrible people, let everyone be terrible to everyone else and it feels less hateful - Rick and Morty has every character have terrible poo poo happen to them, but they are all terrible people in turn due to situations/influences that make them that way - it feels less hateful because everyone gets the brunt of it, although Jerry gets it a bit more, so it feels less "Everybody Hates Jerry" and more "the Universe is poo poo, deal with it" which is ironically more hopeful than it should be.

I feel the best way to handle those scenarios is to have it so the character in question can push back once in a while
