The only thing I like better is Dipper and Mabel's designs. They look more like their age, and less round and small. Other than that yeah, I probably wouldn't have watched the show if it looked like that. The animation, especially in the opening credits, is what hooked me from the start. It's so goddamn smooth!

Having seen the pilot now that actually wasn't as bad as I'd expected, in fact I kind of like a lot of the earlier designs (except for Stan who looks really weird). It's also kind of odd that Dipper just kind of has the Journal rather than being shown finding it like in the actual premiere (I guess the idea for Ford hadn't been thought up just yet, in fact the whole thing seems like the show originally had a slightly different premise, not to mention the fact that having something called the Book of the Damned obviously wouldn't fly on a Disney show). But yeah, not bad overall but it would probably have been a very different show if they kept it like that (and possibly a lot less succesful).

So, here's something fun and cool! Apparently Bill was going to open Weirdmaggedon with a full-blown musical number, but the song was cut for time and replaced with the opening we got instead. Fortunately for all of us, the song's writer decided to release it anyway and some nice youtuber did a little animatic of what it might have looked like! BEHOLD: It's Gonna Get Weird!

Smart for ignoring him. It actually gets a lot better in the second season and the finale was loved by everyone, and it's the one cartoon I've watched that I've seen the most unexpected references to by other adults. I didn't like everything it did but it had a unique sense of humor that I miss and a good ongoing plot as well. I wholeheartedly recommend watching it. Track the online shorts down, top. I have no idea how someone could say the shark was jumped in season two.

Okay your friend is an idiot, if he thinks anything was an asspull or a Deus Ex Machina he has managed to ignore every single piece of foreshadowing and also has a misunderstanding of basic character and narrative themes.

Well,he likes MLP,so it comes with the territory. According to all of my other friends, MLP is pretty much full of asspulls and Deus ex Machinas, so the idiot's kind of a hypocrite.

There's one (1) plot point in the finale that I thought was a bit of a cop-out but everything else was so awesome it doesn't change my opinion that the finale was great. For those who've seen it: it was Stan getting his memory back so easily.

Aside from perhaps feeling a tad rushed in season 2, it's pretty drat hard to claim this show wasn't a masterpiece of the genre.

For sure. I also feel like the criticisms in the last few posts go together - it's been mentioned before, but a longer version of this show would likely have had the climactic battle be in the penultimate episode and end with the memory loss, which when would have had a bigger focus in the finale and have felt more earned when he regained em.

Someone who think highly of MLP really shouldn't talk about Deus Ex Machinas and rear end pulls. I could buy that they don't bother him in a cartoon aimed at young children, but you can't look at GF and think that's beyond the pale if you're used to that.

So,I've gotten up to the halfway point of the first season,really digging the show so far. My "friend" has gotten more...aggressive in his attempts to "enlighten" me. Even going as far as making me watch this on our lunch break. I am a bit torn now,honestly-apparently Mabel gets no development,Wendy gets ignored by the writers,and the show is overrated...apparently.

The Saddest Rhino posted:Stop hanging out with your friend or hang out but put a conversation veto against cartoons Thing is,he's my co-worker at my dad's business. So not hanging out isn't an option. The latter might work,though it would be difficult-he seemingly belabors that MLP supposedly is a better show,mockingly comparing Gravity Falls and Steven Universe (my two favorite cartoons right now) with cheap-rear end beef you find at the local Co-Op while MLP is like a fine filet mignon. That's usually when I tell him to shut the gently caress up.

Tell this man that his weird obsession to what TV shows other people watch is off-putting, ridiculous, and probably reduces workplace synergy. Either that or every time he brings up MLP, share an interesting fact about birds. Either he doesn't like birds and will back off, or he'll realize that birds are great and share bird facts of his own. It's win-win.

Imagine being so deeply insecure that you literally cannot handle someone liking something different from you. Imagine NEEDING everyone to like and dislike exactly the same things you do for exactly the same reasons. Imagine needing it so much that you devote every interaction with another human being to the express purpose of changing their opinions to be more like yours. Just... imagine. It boggles the mind.
