IShallRiseAgain posted:lol, if you believe that marketing bullshit. Vaping companies are just exploiting the fact there is a slightly smaller chance of vaping to kill you than smoking cigarettes to claim it's safe. I mean Juul literally just got caught telling kids to vape. You're nuts if you think vaping is only slightly less dangerous than smoking. Also, isn't this the kid's show thread?

Unsurprisingly considering the situation with Julia Vickerman, Twelve Forever has been cancelled by Netflix.

I was hoping for the sake of all those people who worked on it that they'd be able to move on without her, but macking on kids is one of those things you just can't live down.

Hemingway To Go! posted:it was cancelled a long time ago wasn't it The studio basically shut down after production, which might've had something to do with Julia, so any chance of it getting a 2nd season was incredibly slim. It was a good show that just got dealt a lot of poo poo, especially from it's own creator

apparently the only people involved with the show that were even openly "oh hey they show's coming out" were the original creator, the gal that took over as showrunner early on when the creator got the boot, and Studio Yotta (the studio that animated the intro)

Back to Gargoyles chat, on the episode Grief now, and man they are doing a really bad job at making Anubis have an actual valid point regarding the necessity of Death, which admittedly is an issue most media has when they include a representative of that concept, the Jackal/Anubis fusion was a neat concept though, as was the visuals used for him manipulating death energy(especially the shots of him shooting them from the Sphinx's eyes) Of the more preachy episodes of this show, this one was probably the most obnoxious regarding the message it was trying to preach(well besides maybe Inheritance, which is one of only two episodes of the show I always skip when rewatching this show)

The animation on the classic Titans is like. Legitimately awful. Those characters weren't designed for flash, they were designed for an animation style that was much more fluid, and here we've got them moving stiffly and awkwardly like animated dolls. And oh look. It's another "people don't take the Go version of the Teen Titans seriously" plot. They're breaking new ground here. Nodosaur fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Sep 22, 2019 |

Totally agree. If they're gonna do this gag they need to commit to the bit and have the OG Titans move and be animated like the OG Titans.

TTG is scheduled so frequently because the TTG team is the only one at CN that can keep to a deadline. Maybe if other shows would quit taking multi-year hiatuses maybe they’d get more airtime. I get all my TV from streaming though so cable schedules never really affect me. Either way, TTG is awesome as hell.

Those hiatuses are all CN's doing. The animation teams have no control over when and how their shows air and yes, CN does often just sit on piles of completed episodes for no reason.

It's also popular on streaming because it does so well as putting up quick snappy jokes that can be shared easily.

Like do you seriously think that almost every show on Cartoon Network could get away with taking multiple extended production hiatuses? Do you think that's how television works?

I don't think TTG is cheaper to produce either: Aren't Canadian animation studios more expensive than Korean ones? At the very least similar in price

Oh no, animation is affordable and plentiful in Canada since it's subsidized by the government.

TTG should have their own version of Batmite appear and he should use the clip of Brave and Bold Batmite do his "all versions are legit" bit.

Larry the Titan is already the show's equivalent. The whole 'nobody takes us seriously' thing comes off as pretty bad faith from Teen Titans Go! given it's gotten way, WAY more episodes and incredibly favourable treatment compared to literally any other show that Cartoon Network has EVER had. It's like Spongebob making episodes about how no one takes it seriously compared to Avatar and Invader Zim.

I'm not really sure that TTG is asking to be taken seriously. If anything, most of the episodes that get taken that way seem like they're actually telling the fandom to lighten the gently caress up and accept TTG as its own goofy thing instead of constantly comparing it to a show it barely resembles; it's specifically asking people not to take it seriously. The movie is explicitly about the characters wanting to be taken seriously, but that's in-universe and not meant to be a meta point (though it is addressing the common complaint that they're really lovely at being heroes).

There's a streamer I follow who's in Canada that knows some people working on TTG and he says that the creative team are basically allowed to write whatever episodes they want. Assuming this is true, it probably means that the show is doing gnagbusters and CN letting them do whatever is a sign that they're doing all the right things to bring in the right numbers.

the show is also self-deprecating so i think people maybe over-analyze it too much?? but the haters also seem to watch it too much, like when the SA webcomics thread obsessed over Questionable Content. they'll complain about it endlessly but could quote the 3rd panel from the 864th strip if you asked. and know all the lore about the characters' backstories and relationships. like how do you know there are a baker's dozen episodes talking about the fandom unless you've watched them all. we live in the internet era, don't need to have your TV on cable all day. if you like to hatewatch that's cool but there's a lot of good animation out there to watch

Probably help that it's made by WB's animation division and not CN's so they pay almost nothing for it, and unlike most other such shows(that tend to get screwed over by CN like they usually do with shows they don't make themselves) CN also gets a piece of the merchandising money, hence why it's been a success unlike almost every other DC cartoon of the last 20 years to air on CN

My issue here is more that the first story featuring the versions of characters I actually like in over a decade is effectively being sucked into what is yet another tedious attempt by this show to go "WE'RE JUST AS GOOD, DAMMIT" Like, do they seriously think this is what fans of the old series wanted? For their characters to be used as a mouthpiece for an argument this show has already made dozens of times? To be told in a musical number "actually your show's ratings were much worse than OURS so HA"? It's like doing a new show with the Timmverse designs so they can break the fourth wall and go tell you to see Batman v Superman and Justice League. TTG can exist on its own, for all I care. But if they're expecting people to see this as some kind of tribute to the old show then that's another thing entirely.
