Y-Hat posted:Johnny Test seems stupid to me for some reason. I don't have a tv with me currently but about a year ago my computer fell apart so I had to go back to the television (and cartoons) to get my entertainment. Chowder and Flapjack are just as good as all the old school CN shows that used to be on but man do they have some bad stuff on too that airs in between them.

You know, there actually have been okay shows in that Bakugan timeslot in the past. In particular there is one that I have forgotten the name of (Sillytown or Sunnyville or something) that was a sendup of GMA type programming. It had extremely basic designs and looked to be made for children but for some reason it was actually a charming little show and I can't help but wonder what happened to it. I mean there's no way it pulled in good ratings since they were airing it at six in the morning but you never know... edit: Oh thats it, The Mr. Man Show.

Rita and Runt used to be my favorite segment but I haven't seen it in years, if it hasn't aged well then that's truly a shame. Having seen bits and pieces of the show recently though I'd like to believe that more of it held up than what you said as what I saw was still pretty good. edit: Oh wait, never mind, that was Slappy the Squirrel.

Looking at those character designs the only two I dislike are Sylvester (who has too much of a fatass) and Petunia, but then she never really had an agreed upon and iconic look anyway so if you have to change someone...

Y-Hat posted:Sorry to bash Johnny Test like a pinata, but goddamn, is the animation for that show awful or what? Too many sharp corners for my liking and it looks trashy as well. It makes the animation for Phineas and Ferb (which also has characters with a lot of sharp corners) look like a masterpiece. To be honest the character designs are the only thing halfway decent about that show (and, I suppose, the bland but not terrible voice acting,) they remind me of Cartoon Network/WB stuff from ten or so years ago.

Kipory posted:I also wanna find a way to check out Megas XLR thanks to this thread. I can't help but admit a running gag of destroying Jersey City really carries a lot of weight in my mind. Well I'll just warn you now, the dialogue gets to be very bad and repetitive after a few episodes. edit: And I just watched that Titan preview and it looks fine, much better than a lot of the cgi that pops up in cartoons these days. To be honest I'm more worried about the dialogue. Samurai Jack had some woefully bad episodes dialogue-wise and this looks to be similarly atmospheric.

Episode posted:The whole 'Flapjack got canceled' rumor has been floating around since Chowder got canned. I wouldn't put too much stock in it. Not really, Cartoon Network was much more into the 52 and done rule than Nick was for awhile almost no shows got past that fourth season without at least some form of major change being added.

Aww really, I actually thought Stroker and Hoop got to be really good toward the end.IRQ posted:The animation is not great and I won't defend the art style because at first glance it's crap. Thing is, if you watched Clone High, which you should, the style is clearly one that that animation studio was headed for. Joan of Ark is pretty much entirely reused verbatim as Gwen.

Also one of the girls from Charlie Chan and the Chan Clan appears on a volleyball team during the crab episode and previous villains are mentioned in the premiere. As to pushing boundaries... it makes the villains actually menacing (as in try to kill the kids) to an extent that has never been done before. I'd imagine little kids might find it pretty scary at times.

Allia posted:What was the show they remade in 2000? The one where there are three players (blue, red, purple) and it was all physical. At the end there was this huge mountain you had to climb up and then you got to keep a piece of the "special" rock at the top? GUTS! (and Global Guts!) Also the Aggrocraig was not merely "special," it was an aggressive rock.

Had to be at least two seasons since they changed some of the rooms around. That show was really popular though, I don't see why they would cancel it. Hell I even saw a LotHT parade float at homecoming this year.

The writing might not be the best but it doesn't just have the characters repeating two or three phrases at an extremely slow pace for fifteen minutes and is thus nowhere near as bad as many of its Adult Swim original counterparts. edit: Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Cliff Racer fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Dec 11, 2010 |

I've seen the PS first episode. Well, its not something I would watch but it was nowhere near as bad as half of the similar crap that Adult Swim airs. I get the feeling that kids will find its art style unappealing and it will get quick cancellation. Though I could be wrong, of course.

Neo Helbeast posted:Just want to point out that the CN who "is taking risks" canceled Megas XLR. Nothing shall ever make me not frown at them. Nothing. Not even if they restarted it. I'd still frown at them for cancelling it in the first place. Megas' second season was an embarrassment. Its scripts were just mindless catchphrases like some terrible 19080s remnant. Thats not why it was canceled though, of course. It was canceled for ratings too low to justify the show's costs. Anyways, its a shame about Symbionic Titan but who didn't see this coming (if not this season then at least next season) the show just didn't find an audience and was preforming worst in its time-slot against a bunch of shows that cost less than it to make.

Its odd that the article says first feature length film, as Mickey has been in several. Granted none of them were memorable, which speaks to the problem of current Mickey not being all that great a character. To be honest, with the exception of Kingdom Hearts I can't think of any recent/ongoing projects that make use of Mickey in an unusual way either (and no Epic Mickey doesn't count, they managed to make that quite bland and inoffensive.)

Because Looney Tunes has a built in audience just because its Looney Tunes. It certainly wouldn't be getting this much pre-airing discussion if it was a totally new IP.

TwoPair posted:Seriously, I hate Deathstroke in comics, but I loved Teen Titans' Slade. I'm also glad they just used Slade, as "Deathstroke" always struck me as a little over the top in villain names. Especially when use the whole line of "Deathstroke the Terminator" it sounds especially silly. They could have just went with "the Terminator," which is what the comics referred to him as for the first few years. But then again that sounds silly too and has become engrained in the public consciousness as another character entirely.

I only remember one episode though, where the ghost-of-the-day was using some sort of innocuous tablets as portals to suck people into another dimension. Something similar happened to me with Real Ghostbusters. For some reason I think it had a product placement Dairy Queen in it too, scared me away from DQ for years.

Speaking of which, does ABC Family still exist? Hard to imagine Disney spent so much money on that PoS.
