The best thing someone got away with on CN was in that robot show the Super Jail guy did. That entire episode where all the special class robots get shot into the sun was amazing.

Do I even want to know why and how the SU thread got this air of notoriety? I can't guess because I can come up with five contradictory answers.

Since it was apparently so awful is it possible to preemptively ban SU chat from this thread? Just a hunch.

Sithsaber should come back. That guy was a righteous fire on the AT thread. I kind of figured that the SU thread would be given the starcitizen/hellthread treatment where insane people could generate 5 pages a day and be left alone.

You can also do what happened with Fallout 4 and have a "Sane Person" thread and the insane thread that moves at 10000 posts a day.

So a bit of an tangent : what's up with Alfred Molina and voice-acting lately? He's Multi-bear in Gravity Falls, the main villain Rippen in Penn Zero and he's apparently set up as a new main villain in Dragons : Race to the Edge?

He was also the Devil in Rick and Morty (though that might be pushing the definition of recent).

I can agree that the word pandering is sometime used in an uncomfortable way. I'm sure most people don't mean it but there's often the implication that people should be okay with being quietly loathed/ostracized. Like I'd rather a give a kid a corny message than that.

I think it's worth remembering from a kid's perspective (since this is the kids show thread and all). Children really do form attachments (enough to call something "My Favorite X!") based on pretty simple traits like "is the strongest" or "is a girl".

I don't think there's a particularly interesting story. He's always been fairly conservative. I remember him complaining about the massive amounts of gay porn for Danny Phantom (Vlad/Danny was huge back in the day), but the internet does what the internet does.

Never heard about the born again Christian stuff with Hartman, but I do recall him being really angry about rule 34 for Danny Phantom. I thought it was more to do with most of the characters being 14 from what I read back then though.

In retrospect I can't really blame him because people trying to make cartoon porn into casual conversation material is what led to bronies.

It's just that thick outlines are a common way for amateur artists to hide poor line art, so I associate them with bad flash cartoons I guess.

But I dunno, I feel like this looks more modern. Thinner outlines help them to match better with more detailed backgrounds.

The thing is Powerpuff Girls didn't look modern even at the time. It was deliberately going for a retro/Fifties look.

Was that really a plot element? I never read the comics but I saw them on the front page all the time.

The comic's equivalent of Loss.jpg is the reveal that Mandy (from Billy and Mandy) caused various large scale disasters during the episode she was the Grim Reaper, including the then-extremely recent Indonesian Tsunami and yes 9/11. I would post it but I actually don't want this thread to turn into the Bad Webcomics Thread Mk. III.

You know I'm just going to take this moment to talk about how people misattribute the inspiration of the Powerpuff Girls all the time. Yes it's obviously anime inspired, but it's super old-school anime, and an arguably shallow take on that too. Mojo Jojo literally talks like a bad Sixties dub. That's why trying to transpose it as an unironic magical girl thing always comes off as wrong.

The thing with Utonium's design was was that he was really, really square. Like the concept of his design was to make a guy made up of sharp angles. I was just saying it's odd that they made him look almost exactly the same but rounded some of the angles because :shrug:

Like if you want to keep a character's design, why change the most interesting quality of it?

I'm not saying it's a big deal or even really a deal, it's just odd.

The shelf life of most Adult Swim shows is pretty short (about the same as the amount of time it takes to earn a college degree). I'm surprised ATHF has been on this long.

I think the only two AS shows I watch anymore are "Rick and Morty" and "Mike Tyson Mysteries". I used to watch "The Heart She Holler" but that was more of a "can't look away" than "watching".

If the french iTunes viewing order for Gravity Falls is any indication of how it was aired, we, as in the French, seem to be among the most backward nations when it comes to consider cartoons as entertainment for more than kids. As in, we don't believe that cartoons can be serialized. No wait, we made Wakfu, so that doesn't make sense.

Wakfu literally had a year between episodes it didn't get a break either.

VB's internal mythology is what makes it good imo.

Spongebob is one of those shows with a really obvious "line of demarcation" between the quality and poo poo episodes. It's when the first movie is released.

Trying to work up gumption to watch the new Voltron series. I haven't heard anyone's opinions on whether it's good or bad yet, so I'm guessing reactions are mixed? For all the faults of Legend of Korra, it had a great look to it and I'm excited to see that same studio is working on it.

Really? Reception seemed really positive from what I've seen. I've just been putting it off because an animated series in the Netflix "all for one" release is kinda unfamiliar to me. I guess I'll experience it again when that Netflix Wakfu season comes out.
