There's also an entire episode where Jake tries to find a form of pain that Finn doesn't actually enjoy.

The variety and unpredictability of Adventure Time was something I really admired about it. It doesn't have a singular vision. Episodes could go in wildly different directions that weren't to my taste, or they could give me something I never would've thought I wanted. Just when I thought I had it figured out it would swerve or turn around completely. It ended up being a series that never stopped surprising me, and that's a rare and special thing that, in hindsight, I appreciate more than if it had simply been consistent and focused.

I came into adventure time late and I couldn't stand early adventure time, but later adventure time i enjoyed way more Also, the new special was absolutely fantastic. It's one of the few times I've seen flashbacks play events backwards and actually thought it was a really clever way to present the concept

Adventure Time had a significant strength in there being something for everyone; I felt it had fewer "good" or "bad" episodes than "episodes that were my style" and ones that were "not my style". I mean ultimately, my favorite episode ended up being Box Prince which I don't think anyone else particularly even liked.

I liked it overall, though I felt the ending was kinda weak, but then that's the case for a lot of the show's episodes(indeed it was kinda a recurring problem with cartoons in that era, Regular Show also often had problems with weak episode endings)

my attitude when watching a new adventure time episode was always "whatever this is, it'll be someone trying to do something interesting. it probably won't really work, but it'll be interesting enough to keep me pleasantly occupied for 15 minutes, and there's not a bad chance that everything comes together and the episode absolutely knocks it out of the park" there's a lot of episodes that i didn't think were really great but after season 3 there aren't very many episodes that i actively disliked, they always seemed to be trying to do something unique or creative so even when it (frequently) didn't quite work out it was still worth watching

This is a very solid assessment. I loved Box Prince because it was cute nonsense, the reason I started watching the show in the first place. As someone who is terminally averse to ‘twee’ Adventure Time was the only twee content I could ever consume and enjoy drrockso20 posted:I liked it overall, though I felt the ending was kinda weak, but then that's the case for a lot of the show's episodes(indeed it was kinda a recurring problem with cartoons in that era, Regular Show also often had problems with weak episode endings) I really appreciated that sometimes the endings were just single tiny beats indicating that the story was complete. Not everything needs to provide “closure”, and the show really goes out of its way to address that in multiple storylines throughout the series. Sometimes things just end and you never understand why or what happened or what to do with this information, that’s a very strong recursive theme in the show.

Adventure Time is vaguely twee but more willing to get into genuinely weird and dark poo poo, tweeness is usually despised because it's toothless, self-indulgent and made by and for manchildren (and womanchildren) finding the worst possible ways to express themselves.

I'm still making my way through the new Animaniacs, since I can only do so much at a time. I didn't expect them to get rid of all of the side characters aside from Pinky and the Brain and Ralph. I think the original show had the intent of having a whole original cast like a new Looney Tunes, and they're just leaving it behind. I do like some of the bits where they totally break from the normal show style, but they're hit and miss. There doesn't seem to be any reference to Yakko, Wakko, and Dot being from the 30s, and the show itself doesn't seem to have the dynamic of the studio trying to lock up the Warners, which is weird, since it's still in the theme song. I guess the idea of wrecking the movie studios probably didn't grab writers' attention as much because Warner Brothers itself as an independent entity is fictional these days, and it's just another victim swallowed up by megacorporations. It's weird how much the show seems to want to be relevant with current references, seeing as how the original show was so aggressively irrelevant.

Though to the creators credit they actually managed to make Chicken Boo work the one time they used him. If they wanted to make him a recurring villain I'd be all for it.

Slappy Squirrel was my favorite segment other than the Warners segments and the Pinky and the Brain segments. I liked the Goodfeathers segments least. The rest range from okay to forgettable to "it was funny the first time, and maybe the first few times, but now it's gotten old", but they worked together better because of the variety

Watching the Animaniacs reboot. It's fine, but the rap segment was just baffling. Yakko talking about how rap can be more than just "women and aggression"... who wrote this, and for whom?

J-Spot posted:They're really just picking up where the old show left off. Past the initial 65 episode order they didn't do a lot with the whole studio premise, and apart from Slappy most of the other characters were dropped or extremely scaled back since they weren't really a hit with the audience.

When your first response to rap is to try to take it down with Shakespeare, it does make you sound about 4 million years old.

I still love that Bushworld Adventures is literally just Australian family life. The manic burnout energy of Australian Rick arguably fits him even better than his usual voice. Ghost Leviathan fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Nov 29, 2020 |

Yeah I'd say the new Animaniacs has maybe 6 or 8 minutes of it that sucks and that was part of it. The manspreading episode was also pretty weak in my opinion but all said I'm not bummed out that I watched it or anything, looking forward to the next season. I hope that they'll be able to bring back more of the old cast after being glib about them having 2 seasons right off the bat and mentioning that they (the Warmer siblings) sure have been carrying the reboot a lot and there were a lot more characters in the old show right?
