AARD VARKMAN posted:Scrappy Doo was on the rotation on cartoon network at some point when I was a kid and I remember it being at least Fine, like literally every other Scooby Doo series predating Velma A Pup Named Scooby Doo was one of those hangers-on in what turned out to be a weirdly high quality run of Muppet Baby spinoffs. Everything was going "reboot cartoons, but as babies". Even Spielberg got in on it with Tiny Toons. I can't wait for that trend to come back around with reboots. Mad Max Babies, Child-Aged Ninja Turtles, Tatooine Kids.... X JAKK posted:You know what really connects with modern audiences? Staunch anti weed stances, borderline pedophilic scenes, and calling you an idiot for liking wacky aspects of old cartoons What an honor to post with former vice president Mike Pence.

JeffLeonard posted:I saw Shin Ultraman on Wedensday and it was (imo) exactly what it should be. It felt like 4 episodes of the show put together, and not particularly inspiring episodes. If thats what people want, sure, but as a person who doesn't watch the show it felt like I was watching a clip episode at times.

DaysBefore posted:Season 1 of The Terror was really good. Julius Caesar, Edmure Tully, and Anderson Dawes (don't remember their names) give really great performances, but so do all the other guys tbh. It is good. I think it kinda falls apart towards the end but i've heard that the book is even dumber.

ZeusCannon posted:That Scooby Doo show looks garbage I watched a few minutes, and it was just all the characters screaming at each other for no reason nonstop. I thought maybe it was just the first scene, which is a fight in the showers between high schoolers, but then Velma gets arrested and screeches a bunch at the cops who come to interview her, and I turned it off. Oh, also the thing the high schoolers are fighting about is whether it's OK for the pilot of a TV show to have much more nudity and violence than the rest of the series, so that's also insufferable.

If thats what people want, sure, but as a person who doesn't watch the show it felt like I was watching a clip episode at times. That's a fair criticism. I'm a fan of the original TV series when I was a kid, so I felt it really captured the "spirit" of the original. My only criticism was there wasn't enough kaiju fighting for me. i was waiting for a huge battle in the 3rd act that never came.

Half remembered spoilers I think the surviving main character starts bonking the mute shaman lady in the end which would of been creepy in the show I should probably read the book at some point because Hyperion is one of my favourite books. hemale in pain fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Jan 13, 2023 |

He was one of those white guys who's brain was broken by 9/11 ( see also Miller,Dennis) In one of his books all of Islam unites in a caliphate, builds a giant submarine called " the sword of allah" or something and they nuke the moon

Sunk Dunk posted:the first episode of bobs burgers is actually funny, and then someone told them to change it completely and it wasn't funny at all after I was rewatching some of the earlier seasons recently, and yeah the first season is the best, and almost all of my favorite episodes are in the first 5 or so seasons. Not that it had a really hard drop in quality, but they definitely took the edge out of the humor and made it into more of a comfort food family comedy and then injected it with a bunch of try-hard musical numbers because the creator is an overgrown theater kid. I still like it though, the voice actors are really good and have a great chemistry which helps punch up the jokes even when the writing is underwhelming. I’ve seen some interviews where the writers talked about how they were more interested in keeping a consistent quality over a large number of seasons, than flaming out early. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Jan 13, 2023 |

Real frog in a pot situation I guess. Been awhile since I watched the first season. This feels a lot more like they were riffing the scene like Home Movies would do rather than working off a set script. They most definitely do not do that anymore.

Toxic Mental posted:bob's burgers had 13 seasons and 249 episodes wtf It's not been canceled (although it hasn't been renewed for the 14th season). There must be something about animation that makes renewing cartoons a much easier call than regular shows because animated shows that don't die early never seen to die anymore. South Park is still on, The Simpsons are still on, Archer is still on, Family Guy and American Dad are still on. Maybe it's the long cycle? Like Bob's Burgers hasn't been renewed for a 14th season yet, but for them to have a 14th season start in the fall, production would have had to start like a year ago on it. If Fox owns the production studio, then you're an executive looking at a sunk cost, right? Like we've spent 60% of the cost of Season 14 already so renewal only costs us the other 40%, something like that.

Maybe in the modern day of computerized western animation the costs are just low once the pipeline is established. A new season needs the scripts, the voices, and some limited amount of new assets to plug in, but a huge amount can be recycled
