I do love that Aku is going insane as well. He's also talking to himself and feeling existential dread. A part of me thinks this series is going to end of a pretty dark note now.

Shindragon posted:Episode 21. I decided to look this up to see if that was really the title. So, one, yes it is. And, two, the wiki I found for it, well: quote:The Dragon having a baby inside it would mean the Dragon is female with a very deep voice, or it is a male and reproduced its baby asexually. In the case of the latter, this is among the few instances where male-pregnancy is portrayed in a children's cartoon.

Crabtree posted:We do need to consider whatever happened to Jack's allies over time. Did Aku eventually crush them for helping the Samurai in anyway? Did he even care to go after them as soon as the FOOLISH thing left? Whooooo cares? I don't! Tell you what, you want to see them crushed so badly, go ahead. It's fine by me.

Personally, the episode where Ashi finds out about Jack's past is SUPER fanservicy. Fun at parts, but the Demongo scene was pushing it. Felt like filler, though I get why they did it. They did it so she wasn't just puffing hot air when she saves Jack from himself. It could have been better paced. Maybe two episodes with it requiring more active partiptant on her part, instead of her being an observer? But, overall, still a solid revival.

PhazonLink posted:Natty Review also recently complained about Last Man Standing getting cancelled last week. Yup. A dime-a-dozen by-the-#s sitcom THE most important thing last week. While this is not the place to really discuss this, it is no secret that the Right Wing Propaganda Machine (my little pet name for FOX News, Infowars, and other right-leaning websites) has been doing everything they can to not report on Trump. Like everything. They revived a cold-case on a murdered DNC official to avoid talking about Trump giving Israeli secrets to Russian spies yesterday. Literally anything it takes to not have their readerbase look at that dumpsterfire. Anyway, Samurai Jack.

Jonny Bravo was somewhat a negative commentary on PUAs, but it suffers a bit from the time it was made. I think it did a good job of establishing people like Johnny as vain, self-absorbed, dickwads, but it would sometimes do the "nice guy(tm)" thing. Ya know what I mean? It also could get confusing at time since it would sometimes introduce a bigger douche so Johnny was less doucey in comparison (like the musical episode, which strangely had its last song reaired constantly despite the joke being all the woman he tricked getting pissed and getting back at him).

EagerSleeper posted:I've seen the way that Power Puff Girls was rebooted and it was not pretty. Johnny Bravo might get Leisure Suit Larry'd in that people miss the satire of the original show, and will make Johnny's faults be turned into a good thing unironically. However, if it's written by a decent set of writers who understood the satire, I don't see why not. What happened with this Power Puff Girls reboot, exactly? Never saw it.

Das Boo posted:It's kinda hard to explain how badly it misses the tone, charm and humor of the original. It's just really, really bland and tries very hard to be "updated," so lots of emoticon faces and memes.  Imagine if they hosed up Samurai Jack that badly? Aku would be too posting on Akubook and Akitter about how he's totally going to pwn the Samurai today only for the Scottsmans to troll the gently caress out of him. Aku would then try to act like a tough guy online only for a bunch of dupe Aku accounts to mock him.

Rigged Death Trap posted:My glasses Johnny fit in well with the Scooby-Doo cast: basically Fred, but with a personality. It strangely worked well with Fred in the mix. Also, a greaser does kind of fit with their 70s kids getup. Man, thinking about it, Cartoon Network sure as hell liked crossovers, as far as cartoons go. I don't remember Nickelodon ever doing crossovers, but Cartoon Network sure did a few and some were weird as hell. Like Kids Next Door mixed in Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy with an Ed, Edd, and Eddy cameo. Did Jack ever do a crossover?

TwoPair posted:Yes and no? Like, they never did a crossover, but CN had these bumps for a while with all their characters living in a realistic city I forgot about those. Yeah, they kept trying to play up the "they're like actors in a show" thing, but in that weird way where they're still their character all the time. Sealab put it best when they pulled that on their last episode: Auidence: So, I don't get it: are you guys supposed to be the characters pretending your the actors or are you the actors pretending your characters? Cast: Good question, moving on. They would also do a lot of music videos back then.

I remember someone jokingly sending him an idea of a modern CN reboot of EEnE, and his reaction was basically "gently caress off." Well, to be fair, did you read their idea for the reboot? "They're all friends? They give money to charity? No wobbly outlines?" Like, at that point, it's an original IP and a lovely one at that. Ed, Edd' and Eddy is a 90s show about three varying types of douchebag being douchebags to other varying types of douchebage with no lesson, moral, or purpose.

RareAcumen posted:Ed Edd n Eddy trying to get rich off of various internet fads could carry the show for about four episodes actually. As long as one of them is 'intentionally getting yourself hurt for views' To be frank, that one would fit in pretty well with the OG series. The punchline could even be them cashing in their views to get a piitance and being frustrated over how much pain they had to go through for 1.25 USD.

Scooby Doo would play constantly, Tom and Jerry was always on in the mornings, and they still had original cartoons. God, is it weird that they recycled so much poo poo and got away with it.

When she started using all the powers of Aku, my brother and I both said "time portal." The look on Aku's face was pretty priceless. I mean, the show finally fullfilled its promise: Jack got back to the past and undid the future that is Aku's. To make things bitter sweet, Ashi ceases to be, but Jack finds solace in knowing he saved the universe from oppression. Honestly, I had fun. The Gurren Lagann ending was certainly a way to do it.

Dolash posted:An alternate take on the ending. Perhaps this is how it always has been, but I noticed a lot of people have trouble accepting a sad or bittersweet ending in general. I mean, it makes logical sense and I definitely noticed it way, way before this series' finale, but I do find it odd how people sometimes make up a happy ending in their head or try to deny a sad ending. The internet only made it more obvious people do this. I don't know, just felt like pointing it out.
