If you want proof - AV Club gave this a B+.

From what I've seen in the lowest point of Simpsons thread, they often give out ratings like that for modern Simposons episodes.

I like hearing about those silly, dark alternate endings. A window to what could have been before a good second opinion. Like Clerks ending with Dante getting killed by a robber or the torture machine idea for Breaking Bad's first season.

I didn't really think about Cera's performance as Scott as bad until I read the books, and yeah he's nothing like comic Scott. Just the average Cera character, really.

(It also has a great all-time dark ending for a kids' show where after Clark comes up with a way for "Clark Kent" to have survived, the real killer is caught and the innocent man is freed, the mob guy who planted the bomb is caught and questioning how he could have survived, then figures out "He's Superman!" while he's in the gas chamber 2 seconds before they throw the switch and execute him)

IIRC, Echiiro Oda - the One Piece guy - posted a graphic of his daily schedule at some point and it looked like some hellish machine program where he basically had 1 hour total set aside to do anything other than working or sleeping.

I'm watching through AT for the first time (I remember kids in my scout troop loved it in our last couple years as it came out and it makes me feel loving old now) because I've been hearing about F&C. Surprised that it took me so long but I really enjoy it so far. I'm at the end of season 2 now.

LSP might be my favorite character so far (early S3). Her randomly turning up as a hobo really amused me for some reason, and Ice King (another contender) immediately throwing her up as his least favorite princess to sate a hitman was great

roomtone posted:

i've always felt like there was this element of - isn't this character terrible? isn't it funny how she's getting so much screentime? but the character isn't terrible enough for that to loop back around to funny like it does with LSP for example, who makes me laugh pretty consistently

I remember around Cartoon Network did this with Cheese and Fred Fredburger but I don't really get that vibe from TT, she doesn't really have that kind of gimmick

City of Thieves has been my favorite episode so far but goddamn, the stupid horse episode made me laugh the hardest. That stupid loving face almost made me fall off the couch laughing at it.

Yeah that first zoom in loving killed me. The only other laugh out loud moments for me so far were with Marcy's Dad trying to take Gunter's soul and Jake showing up for the first time at the end of that episode by rolling over in Finn's pocket and farting.

Yeah it was a reminder of how autotune used to be loving everywhere (especially in CN commercials), and I'm not sure exactly what it is but for me autotune is uncomfortable to listen to. At least they dropped the singing in autotune gimmick a couple seasons in (apparently)

I'm not a big anime guy but I half-watched Gurrenn Lagann when it was on Toonami and I think it had all these too.

It didn't have a tournament arc, but it sure did have the rest. 'Stay the hell away from my little bro KICK' or whatever it was.

It also has Space Combat (if another series has robots throwing galaxies around like shuriken I'd love to see it)

I remember being really disappointed by Teen Titans, something about Terra coming back potentially with amnesia but maybe not, and it mostly just feels like a monster of the week episode by the end. And then I found out that was the series finale.

My only complaints are that the timing for jokes could have been improved (way too much lingering to get to the punchline) and I don't really find Jax's archetype compelling (I want to say it's worn out but for the life of me I can't think of a concrete example from other media right now) but he comes off like the staff's favorite just watching the short so I feel like he's going to be prominent if this show continues.

I liked what I saw from the other characters so far, at least. Cane's easily my favorite of the group because of his interactions with Bubble though

My guess is that he's sadistic partly to keep himself from giving in to despair. I suppose the show needs some kind of antagonistic force but it'd work better for me if he gets some kind of comeuppance eventually.

Yeah, pretty much. I am not making GBS threads on it, it’s more like one of those shows that has enough they’re mixed with just right time and etc so it’s lightning in a bottle and blows up the Internet for a year or so and then has a giant fan base, like the vivzipop stuff, fnaf, loving mlp, etc. all had enough special sauce that blew up hype.

Sonic was a bit like that too. Brightly colored, easy to read expressions, basically no human characters...I think kids just devour that poo poo, and from anecdotal experience with family and friends, youtube is basically a babysitter so they've got plenty of hours long monotone lore videos to enjoy.
