Its probably going to cause parents are gonna be pulled in by nostalgia then immediately complain its not the same cause they didnt pay attention to the commericals. And their kids are going to ask to see it anyways bc this entire movie is trying soooo hard to be dreamworks trolls

lusty basin
#

Okay. This movie is a good example is "take already loveable characters from an old show. Completely put them in a plot where IT DOESN'T FIT FOR THEM. Add jokes. Add celebs. And SLAP loveable show movie on it.

dusk terrace
#

Honestly, I think it could work but only if you keep to the actual roots of the smurfs living in ye old times

#

Celebs are fine but they should really match who theyre voicing.

lusty basin
#

LIKE the old times were magical and cool! And this isn't the nostalgia speaking.

#

The plot involves them going on some large magical adventure, travelling to unknown places and having to rescue someone. Okay simple enough.

Via magic mishaps, papa is captured and they have to go on said adventure to find him. Ron Swanson joins them because he was Papas brother tending to those weird fuzzy things in peace and quiet and they have to go fight gargamel and his weird little brother or whatever.

#

Thats it. "oh what about modern references??"
Easy enough to do. There's episodes of the HB show where Handy has emulated our own modern appliances like TV, it shouldnt be a stretch to apply the same concept to a phone or have the "social media" smurf be a gossip drama type of person who just keeps yapping peoples secrets

#

This isnt hard, it just takes creativity

#

Why are people hating on the songs in this movie. They were all bangers

#

Nobodys singing them like crazy but they were still pretty good

lusty basin
#

People are seriously hating the songs?

glad spade
#

I think people just hate the whole movies existence because it was supposed to be a TV show but they turned it into a movie

lusty basin
#

Like..they weren't bad songs. Good songs I'd say

#

Bruh trying to cramp a TV show into a movie is tough work.

glad spade
#

I was in that camp until I saw the movie. It doesn't feel like a TV show but it's kinda lacking as a movie. I know why they thought they could get away with it

lusty basin
#

I mean. I'd take this movie over any live action adaptation of it.

#

It's still a good movie I'd say..but that's just my opinion..

This is very biased information and kind of around Lilo and stitch advertising so take that into consideration but everytime in Target Ive been near the Disney section, it did not play alot of Moana songs in general, it went with the bias of other more popular ones including Lilo and Stitch ones.

I’m not sure how many kids specifically are listening to this movie’s soundtrack but look at them views

Largely Teens from what I can understand but thats the twitter fanbase, I dont use platforms where kids would largely be present much

Outside of youtube obviously

That movie I'd imagine appealed more to teens than kids, yeah

But Moana 2? For kids

Ive also seen people at least in a public sense seem to like Moana 2 but it just isnt the same impact as the first movie

Define "public" as in how general of an audience are you talking about. Like when I talk about 'the public', I mean your most average audience that watches tv and doesnt think much of it after the fact.

#

Largely the most average consumers of Disney TVA did not talk much about molly mcgee, but the cartoon community did.

For me, I’m still slowly but surely getting through Regular Show for the first time

Just started Season 5 and…

I can safely say “Laundry Woes” is easily a bottom 10 episode overall for this show 💀

#

Its definitely a low for Mordecai, but not the lowest unfortunately

limber thistle

Dumptown, USA was Mordecai at his lowest

silver shadow
#

I dunno, hijacking Muscle Mans wedding was also pretty low

lusty basin
#

Honestly. We need a tier list
Top 10 L's Mordecai got in regular show..

#

Honestly..i wouldn't consider the scene of killing rigby on that list. Even though it's one of the most talked about when bringing up Mordecai as a character..i genuinely would let that pass than him doing my QUEEN CJ DIRTY

weary gust
#

killing rigby was the ultimate L

thin falcon
#

I’d say murdering your best friend cause he was right about the fact that you’re too much of a chump to talk to your crush, even if it was an accident, is a pretty big L

sleek python
thin falcon
#

all cause you’re jealous that he’s got more rizz than you

lusty basin
#

I don't think he MEANT to do that..

#

I don't think it was his intent to kill him honestly

sleek python
#

Just cause I dont mean to do something doesn't make it any less messed up

lusty basin
#

True.

sleek python
#

Also I'd go as far as to say him saying "ILL KILL YOU" and then pushing him off the microwave tells me in the MOMENT he meant it

lusty basin
#

Okay but a lot of people feel thing in the MOMENT and immediately take it back.

#

Like he felt remorseful after (this isn't me trying to defend Mordecai. God no.)

sleek python
#

Just to illustrate my point, if Mordecai got charged with murdering Rigby, he'd still go to jail even if he felt remorseful after

#

Killing someone is way worse than cheating/being dumb

lusty basin

Most of the folks they killed are villains.

#

The concept of the show is pretty interesting also

glad spade
lusty basin
# warped halo Question, what do you two like about the show?

Okay. First of all.
I like the idea of it. It being in the depths of hell and all. And Charlie is just a really good character. Very optimistic and carefree (reminds me of svtfoe kinda charm) and the cast of characters is unique and fun.
Also.VERY good songs I listen to regularly.
The show can tackle more darker themes without it being forced.
And I am rambling rn but I have SO MUCH MORE

lusty basin
dusk terrace
# lusty basin What could possibly be so BAD about it?

I have my words about it, but there's alot of more nuance to why various people hate the show.

Personally her humor is very one note and kind of has one punchline of "LOL SEX" for my taste, she boasts and wants to talk about deeper subjects but then bails out on committing to that idea or portraying them poorly. HH also in general feels very rushed for the 8 episodes we got to where no character really gets to have a good deeper moment.

|| Also theres major whiplash that she wants us to feel bad for abused characters like Angel Dust or others but then uses that same abuse as a punchline as a later joke. It comes off as confusing and insincere since she's willing to use these traumas for shock humor and it lessons the value of her deeper story. ||

dusk terrace
lusty basin
# dusk terrace I have my words about it, but there's alot of more nuance to why various people ...

Okay.first of all I completely respect your opinion on this truly.
And I can agree the show was rushed to the finale cause..they introduce danger in the first episodes and on the last one they're ALREADY fighting heaven itself..like tackling the main villain immediately felt rushed. And didn't develop heaven but as more of (oh the supposedly bad guys are good and the good guys are actually bad!) Kind of plot. I did not like that idea.

||also about the angel dust thing. Maybe she just didn't have time to develop his character more. And focused on the humor..because she didn't want the show to go TOO DARK until it's just painful to watch..||

limber thistle
dusk terrace
#

I wish we did get to see more of Heaven's hypocritical ways to kind of justify more of why Charlie is upset rather than just 'Adam and Lute are jerks, and the angel in charge is just letting people be bad but get away with it'.

|| Then she should've actually thought about the writing she was doing, and realized she isnt playing with a funny abuse concept, but a genuine scary topic that cant be handled as a joke and a serious subject in the same breath. She just cant write this stuff with tact cause at the end of the day any sexual homor or story she writes to me comes off as if shes ignorant to the reality of what shes trying to portray and handles it with so poorly when confronted with being told shes wrong. ||

Much better than HH by a bit, Mostly because it has more time to tell a story and talk about its characters, however the writing still sucks in some places like largely the Stolas and Goetia characterizations, and very weird change into just focusing on Blitzo and Stolas.

There's so much more that couldve been brought up about their livestyle to not paint Stella as a one note character, the fact she says "Hes stiff as a board" is written off as a joke but its been pointed out that if someone is very uninterested in intercourse, it can borderline be SA even between married people.

Im also so very personally disappointed that Stolas didnt have proper writing that would show how spoiled he really is with a silver spoon in his mouth and how that affects how he treats Blitzo bc of his status. Blitzo calling this out and Stolas being forced to confront hes a spoiled brat just as his own wife is would be so dang cool to me.

Also the fact "Ghostfuckers" was the only episode to really give Millie more character outside of "she lives in texas hell and is part of a southern family" says alot and Brandon Rogers wrote that one himself. Viv cant give Millie character to save her life. Now shes pregnant and I know they wanted a family but all I expect is the most cheap shot women pregnancy humor cause Viv cant write women.

#

I think he was supposed to be erased from time itself..(or maybe not..i couldn't find much info about the episode)

lusty basin
# dusk terrace Much better than HH by a bit, Mostly because it has more time to tell a story an...

Okay I agree it's MUCH BETTER than HH..tbh..i like the fact that Moxxie and Millie were already married instead of "oooh love plot" and stuff..and the idea that Stolas immediately starts crying over losing his status after he LITERALLY put himself in front of saten himself..like..stolas has character. He has potential. But it's just written so badly just to show Blitzø growing as a character

Which by the way let's talk about him. I know his background. I know his trauma. But was the only thing to make you trust Stolas is him being homeless..everything he ever loved taken from him? NOW YOU CARE ABOUT HIM? it was so..rushed.i would have loved to see them talk it out together. Without Blitzø just blowing up at him for being born rich

And ugh.. I have so Much to say..

dusk terrace
#

His sacrifice of his power couldve been so much more impactful if it came with him learning how much of a spoiled idiot he is and how that indirectly and unintentionally had him still treating Blitzo like someone under his foot, rather than an equal.

#

And then Blitzo apologizes to Stolas???? NO
"Sowwy I had that outburst"
NO STOP YOURE SO RIGHT CALL OUT THE RICH IDIOT AND MAKE HIM REALIZE HIS OWN PROBLEMS. Viv needs to stop making him some innocent uwu baby twink man just for the fandom to woo over.

thin falcon
#

The thing that kind of upsets me the most is this idea of Blitzo refusing to be seen as a toy or a servant

#

But then does exactly that with giving Stolas a bath and making him breakfast and shit like that

#

But it’s different this time cause love lol

lusty basin
#

Yh.. Cause now it's the opposite. Someone giving their ALL for someone who couldn't care less..

Which, BTW. She came from tumblr. She writes and at times has the goals of a fujoshi era 2013 where alot of anime men were being treated like dolls more than characters and to an extent treated IRL gay men like they were wild animals you get excited to see in public.

thin falcon
#

Ok but like, Blitzo is REALLY passionate about rising above his station and proving imps are more than jsut servants and lower class citizens

#

Why would he sacrifice that mentality for love

dusk terrace
#

Its so baffling to me people will rag on tumblr and complain about the weirdos and SJWs but then turn around and praise Vivs 2013 writing skills for doing the same thing teenagers did back then. But its """cooler""" because she made it, she has her own show, shes a strong indie creator while the rest are cringe fanfic writers.

#

I like the idea of the main character being gay.. And I liked the plot a little. But...the show loves DRAMA. Pure DRAMA..

thin falcon
#

Bruh it’s Vivziepop

#

lusty basin
#

Yeah fair.

dusk terrace
#

Its badly written gays

thin falcon
#

Except for Millie

lusty basin
thin falcon
#

Which I’m going to be honest

#

I really would’ve figured she was bi

dusk terrace
#

I thought Millie was bi....

thin falcon
#

No

#

I think the only hard confirmed straight characters in Viv’s stuff are Nifty, Millie and Vortex

lusty basin
#

Honestly..i like moxxie a lot..him being bi..and him being a loving and supporting husband warms my heart a bit

dusk terrace
#

The only issue with Moxxie being bi is that Viv uses it as an excuse to make vulgar gay jokes and it constantly pushes his boundaries which reads to me as she finds it funny to tease people that way and disrespect someones lines of comfort.

lusty basin
#

Also..can we get over the fact that Blitzø..just..bangs the guy who he knows caused his employee..a lot of trouble? Cause I know he's supposed to be quirky and stuff and always lighten the serious mood..but..in the room next to moxxie? Why? Why is this played as a joke?! Why is everything s joke?!

#

Why is Stolas being powerless and weak and abandoned a JOKE?!

dusk terrace
#

Because its funny to her and she cant balance a genuine character moment with comedy respecting it.

#

Also on HH for a second. Im very confused about Angel Dust.
So he's canonically been hurt in ways I cannot describe here but they basically do not respect his personal space ten times over. He then puts on some front of being unbothered by it, and proceeds to push himself into other people's boundaries.

Why would someone whos had their own boundaries ruined.....then do nothing but ignore others boundaries??? Surely there is a million other ways he can be a massive attention seeking prick without forcing himself into Husks' face 24/7. It feels contradictory that he completely understands what its like to have no privacy and respect and then proceeds to do the same thing his abuser(s) have done.

If its all for the front, then shes just putting him through CONSTANT trauma and masking for the sake of angsty backstory which SUCKS as writing. It just makes him as a character one note and depressing.

lusty basin
#

Because it's for SHIPPING!
do you know realize how fan service the show is trying to do? Make a good show..and the fan service will come by itself

dusk terrace
#

I see it and its bad. I dont care if the two blorbos are made for each other, if their story revolves around contradictory writing, bad writing, and angst fuel its not fun in the slightest. Its exhausing.

Okay yeah let's get back to that for a second (I am not defending Mordecai on this. Literally screw off)
Mordecai didn't have the intention of doing it I think we can all agree on that. I mean. That wasn't his first time killing someone. And he did expect it to happen AND ALSO I don't think him saying "I'LL KILL YOU" means he actually wanted to do it..cause it was something said in the heat of the moment

hidden portal
#

I get the “heat of the moment” bit

I’ve had my fair share of reacting on impulse on such occasions too, and Mordecai was fed up at that point in time with Rigby having nearly pushed him off first…though at the same time what’ll matter in the end is who’s dead and who isn’t…and regardless of how you feel on Mordecai objectively that was indeed murder if Rigby stayed dead

I have theory an If FOP Season 10

rough steppe
lusty basin
# hidden portal I get the “heat of the moment” bit I’ve had my fair share of reacting on impuls...

I agree. Also. What is this argument that "cause he's the main character and now that's bad" argument? They kill a lot of people (I think they put skips in danger and a lot of the park members in danger too) they killed people. LOTS OF THEM. just because they always explode doesn't make it any better. It's still murder. And why are we acting like there was ANY chance rigby was gonna die, "but if he was gonna die-" no he wasn't. There was just absolutely NO way. As you say they're the main characters. This isn't a show to kill the main characters. Especially the first few seasons. Like come on
(Feel free to negotiate w me about this..)

sleek python
lusty basin
# sleek python Manslaughter is when it's a complete accident, no harm was meant. Murder doesn'...

Okay. But bear with me on this okay?
Rigby was the one who pushed first. And maybe was thinking the EXACT same thing he just didn't say it. We don't know. Because Mordecai was the one who actually verbally voiced "I'LL KILL YOU" and I think the push was a reflex to the previous push. I think he might have forgotten how strong he is and accidentally pushed too roughly due to emotions (yes still murder)

#

But wasn't there an episode where rigby wanted to beat Mordecai at punchies so bad he just almost drowned them both in lava to win? And he knew it would kill them and he just didn't care? So he was willing to let Mordecai die over something stupid like that..so yeah. That's my point

sleek python
#

Theres no saving Mordecai in any capacity here lol

lusty basin
#

I do not want to save Mordecai. (Genuinely I love the guys but he's so unlikable a lot of the time) but I don't want to come off as a person who only looks at something and immediately assumes.

#

I like to give it a little thought and say "maybe it wasn't as bad as people make it to be"

#

Cause that episode was WILDLY considered the episode where people consider Mordecai a shitty Friend (he is) and honestly. I wish we got more of what that episode had to offer instead of immediately resolving it right after the death scene

keen bear
#

Mordecai pushed Rigby intentionally, but did he really expect Rigby to die? Like, they're traveling through some time passage thing. I don't think Mordecai really knew what would happen.

lusty basin
#

True.

#

I honestly feel like there are a lot of things that should be considered before calling Mordecai a murderer (I hate his guts. Keep that in mind I'm just trying to be biased)

‘The Cuphead Show’ and ‘Hazbin Hotel’ crossover fan edit by ZAMination co-owner and Glitch Productions creative officer Micah Preciado.

Would you watch a Cuphead Show x Hazbin Hotel crossover? https://t.co/5HUsuWCmyK

QRT: TheCartoonBase
CB Exclusive: ‘The Cuphead Show!’ head writer Deeki Deke wants to do a Cuphead and Hazbin Hotel crossover.

“I would like to do an older-skewing crossover of Cuphead and Hazbin Hotel. This would ignite a holy war between the fandoms, but then, holy wars are embedded in both shows' backstories.”

#

I mean, why not

Vastly different target audiences mainly.

If the creators want to do it, then they should

I’m arguing this because Cuphead in both the game and the show clearly seems to live in the era as the cartoons he’s based on so bringing him into a universe like Hazbin would likely result in much of the crossover just being Cuphead reacts to modern day things.

Were not getting it, at least not within this year if at all. The tweet says the writer wants a crossover, not that one is happening.

lusty basin

I personally highly doubt this is happening ever, considering the cuphead show has been not renewed by Netflix, and any contact for this would be bafflingly picky due to the services involved.

The writer simply wants this crossover, doesnt mean we'll ever see it happen.

Creators usually have a lot of ideas for their show that may never see the light of day. Like Infinity Train for example

It depends on what part of the UK you come from. I learned this from Good Omens of all things, but the UK has regional accents. And they can sorta tell where you come from like how the US can tell people come from the north US or south US, or midwest.

I know this because Aziraphale the angel(played by a welsh actor funny enough), is called a "southern pansy" in the movie and adaptation. Meaning most clock hes from the south of the UK where theyre often known to be softer and more bullyable than other places.

Do I need to write a paragraph again about how they clearly dont respect the smurfs as a franchise with characters and stories they refuse to look at because theyre so focused on making it trendy and like the Trolls movies?

I mean yeah I get that, but I was wondering what caused them to remove him

Maybe due to the backlash ig

Guys. Question.
What is good marketing?
I had an argument with a friend and she said the movie wasn't marketed well and she doesn't want to watch something that the creators didn't care much to market. So what IS good marketing

dusk terrace
#

That depends I think. Jay has brought up and I think about it alot now that our algorithms are so tailored to us, if we dont engage with specific topics, we dont get them at all.

On Instagram, I follow art related stuff, etsy or handmade merch, or even crafts and cutesy related things. I also follow cartoons but largely that gets me reposted memes. But if you asked me about the current state of sports or car racing, I would have no clue since its not even advertised to me in the slightest.

glad spade
#

The best marketing for a movie is honestly when they show the trailers before a movie in theaters

lusty basin
#

What? Isn't that what usually happens?

#

Or do you mean in the theater?

glad spade
#

I meant in the theater

lusty basin
#

Did that ever happen?

glad spade
#

Elio was clearly marketed well if the movie got over 100k in the box office. Some people are just looking for things to hate about the movie

glad spade
lusty basin
lusty basin
#

I've never been to a theater so I wouldn't know.

But I'd assume people already saw the trailer before seeing the movie..so yeah

glad spade
#

Not everyone

#

Would you consider the new Dora movie a movie with bad marketing?

glad spade
#

Yes, there's plenty of examples of movies that had bad marketing

The day the earth blew up is a perfect example

Never heard of it
(Which proves the point I think)

glad spade
#

It's the new 2D Looney tunes movie

lusty basin
#

A new Looney tunes movie?
Damn

keen bear
#

And doing it at least a few months before the movie releases.

thorny solstice
#

I’ll say those are good but also kind of catered to specific audiences. Cause on one hand, most people probably only watch one or two movies in a theatre at a time and those movies can be of different genres aimed at different audiences so whatever movie you watch is gonna show trailers for similar movies.

#

And on the other hand, both Elio and Smurfs have been seeing heavy promotion on social media and both movies are still expected to be box office bombs.

glad spade
#

I mean Elio didn't completely flop either

#

I'd say it did pretty decent for an original ip. It shows that people were interested

#

I feel like smurfs is a different story. If that barely makes it's budget back that might be the end for the smurfs

#

At the end of the day, marketing does matter but if your movie doesn't look appealing to people then it still wouldn't do well

glad spade
#

How did they keep this short hidden though

lusty basin

same thing with Kpop Demon Hunters

if not, they won't even think in watching

Ive found it rarer and rarer to find someone more open to movies in very critical spaces like twitter or any 'fanbase' sort of environment and whats worse is the older people making these claims who dont look into the actual thought behind something are spitting out things kids end up repeating and kids dont know better but to repeat what they hear half the time.

They walk into these discussions and immediately get told "This is bad, dont say you like it or youre weird"

I only say this because I saw an IG post addressing that issue and it was just to promote their own indie series

#

Or they hated it, I forget

weary gust
#

i wasnt much of a ben 10 guy, but im sure the original is another one of those kid balancing superhero & personal life shows

thorny solstice
#

I assume it got rebooted because there wasn’t much story left to tell in the original universe

#

Or someone at CN thought Ben was too old now? Who knows

dusk terrace
#

And then they fumbled it completely by being from what I remember seeing as just too kiddy and not pushing ideas far enough

lusty basin
#

Omniverse was HATED at first because the animation was a bit different. The character designs were a bit different. But after a while people warmed up to it. It felt good and had a lot of good episodes and new alians and some would go out of their way to call it the BEST Ben ten ever. Or at least the "Childhood crush" version of Ben ten series at some point

thorny solstice
#

Still a minor though so eh…

lusty basin
#

If they wanted to push the idea to a younger audience who DIDN'T see the original..at LEAST explain how Ben 10 got the Omnitrix. In the intro at least..not start the first episode w him w the Omnitrix

dusk terrace
#

Yeah....Ben is not an adult

lusty basin
#

I didn't mean it like that I'm sorry

dusk terrace
#

True, if you're in that age range its fine, but if adults say that now Im calling the authorities

lusty basin
#

Tbh a lot of the childhood crushes are teenagers..

thorny solstice
#

I guess that was sort of implied but just wanted to be sure.

dusk terrace
#

Fair tbh

lusty basin
#

I don't want to be biased on Ben 10 reboot..bc I was a mega fan of the original adaptations of it (all of them) and I might hate it because it's made for kids. But I genuinely want an opinion on it from someone who isn't biased. To see their points

dusk terrace
#

Thats fair, you can dislike something because its not made for you as an audience or doesnt grab your attention. Just dont make like 10 videos on youtube saying "PEPPA PIG SUCKS AND IS THE WORST EVER" cause thats kind of useless

lusty basin
#

these kind of videos all have the same points. Same patterns. Same argument. And same conclusion. And at this point. I'm just watching a repeat of something that ISN'T even interesting.

#

What's the point in even making a video that doesn't make you wanna stay longer because its predictable in the worst ways.

thorny solstice
#

We’ve gone over this in this server a few times too and yeah, only so many ways and so many times you can say Modern Disney bad or Helluva Boss is painfully mediocre

dusk terrace
#

True

#

Instagram is like watching a circus sometimes

#

are they gonna ignore Gumball and Penny?

thorny solstice
#

I was going to say earlier cause I see a lot of childhood crushes posts on Instagram in particular.

lusty basin
#

But there are A LOT of good CN couples out there

dusk terrace
#

I like how every show mentioned here is highly dependent on the character's circumstances and its not supposed to be a 1:1 of the creators/writers love lives

thorny solstice
#

I doubt many relationships from this network are.

#

Or at least they’re probably ultra over-exaggerated

lusty basin
#

It's just the characters and how they act.
It's in their cringey core.
It's not something the creator did. Or WILL DO (probably. Very probably won't but I'm leaving it open)

dusk terrace
#
  1. Steven largely has had really unstructured life and zero concept on how to really date or talk to anyone properly about dating, on top of the fact he was so stressed in Future, he thought just marrying Connie and running off would fix all his problems. He was a messed up kid.

  2. Finn at the time with FP is 13 and also grew up in an unstructured world. He's a dumb teenager who thinks butts are funny and would slap the top of a doorway. It also was to portray kids can be pretty dumb with relationships.

  3. NGL I think Regular show has weird writing at times and that mostly is around Mordecai's entire love interest arcs. But I doubt JG Quintel is dealing with some bad relationship all the time.

  4. I dont know what Ben 10 that is, but Im gonna assume its part of some high school romance drama plot

It's good.
If you're free you should give it a shot.
It's a show giving each character an episode and the episodes actually connect to each other and we see scenes from older episodes or teases for new ones..it's well written
(Unless you count the hole they made because they cut the trans plot..which..idk what to feel about)
But overall great.

I will defend Pixar and explain to people more nuance to stuff but funny enough, recent Pixar productions have been a little...samey to me. Not cause of the art style, I can tell what is what. But because I guess its just alot of stuff that isnt something I immediately think about relating to or want to see at the moment.

#

I decided to watch it cause I’ve seen a lot of clips and thought I needed to judge it properly cause Vanessa in particular seemed like she’d be a hot topic. But I thought she was fine, she’s not annoying or anything and the show doesn’t present her as 100% in the right all the time.

#

When it comes to certain cartoon network shows. The romance feels like an afterthought

#

Gumball and Penny worked the best because in the early season their dynamic was funny

dusk terrace
#

I can only really defend AT in this regard, and Finn's romance is not an afterthought, its intended to be messy and weird cause hes a kid who doesnt know what hes doing or how hes feeling

glad spade
#

The only show that did romance poorly was regular show honestly

#

Steven and Connie's romance was pretty much non existent before the movie

dusk terrace
#

Cause they were friends. LIterally the reason it feels rushed is bc its supposed to. The fact steven rushed to the idea of marrying connie and eloping to escape all his problems.

#

You are supposed to feel uncomfortable with Connie as he proposes because you know his life has been a mess, and hes clearly trying to cope in the worst way possible

glad spade
#

A lot of things went wrong for Steven in future. He shattered jasper and almost killed lars, Sadie and the cool kids all because of his emotional state

dusk terrace
#

Lars was turned pink in the show though? Not Future

#

It puts into perspective though how messed up his life really was and at that point it had all come crashing down to such a point that his coping or 'fix' was acting on the fact he liked Connie to such an extent he wanted to marry someone he considered his best friend and biggest 'rock' in a sense of stability

glad spade
#

Steven's situation was way more understandable than Mordecai's

Guys. This is way too late to talk about but what are your thoughts on the new gumball VA From the trailer?

fading cloak
#

Isnt the VA a placeholder in the trailer?

lusty basin
#

What?

fading cloak
#

Like isnt it not the final VA for the part?

#

Like gumball is still getting casted

lusty basin
#

Okay but I'm talking about the CASTING of the VA for the trailer. I know it shouldn't matter much but it just took a bit of the vibe off the trailer (I'm sorry if I'm sounding childish or anything I am wording this as best as I can)
I feel like there should have been some thought put into the VA for the trailer to give people a good start (no hate for the trailer VA but it didn't fit) even if it's temporary

dire wadi
#

Yeah, no I didn’t like it either

#

My main question though is if this is gonna be the finale or if they are just gonna pull a Simpsons and never let the show end.

lusty basin
#

It probably wouldn't last more than it should. But this is me trying to sound positive and trusting the company.

dire wadi
#

I hope

#

I hope they don’t let WB have any control whatsoever, may there be a god.

#

I trust Ben Bocquelet though

lusty basin
#

Also from what I gathered from those who went to the creator (it was an event or something I don't remember)
They say they're gonna continue after the finale and finish the arc in the show that was supposed to be done in the movie. (But this is what the people who went there said tbh)

lusty basin

# lusty basin Also from what I gathered from those who went to the creator (it was an event or...

Honestly, what I think they should do with the ending (speaking of Quintel) is have it end similarly to Regular Show, I don't mean the whole little arc at the end. I just mean that whole ending montage where all the main characters are older and have kids and have that segway into a spinoff that takes place in that future, since fwik the Regular Show spinoff with that concept is still going to happen, so having that and a Gumball spin off with the same premise at the same time would be really cool. Even if the premise kinda already exists with fans making AUs of Gumball with TAFOG and that stuff. It'd still be cool to see!

Like when people actually have passion in their work they'll almost always do a good job. People who don't might struggle a lot more, because at the end of the day work without passion is just a chore.

Would you think they'd address the drama that happened in recent times?
Like the gumball VA and dream beef?

He was my childhood so I'll give him points for THAT.

I mean, I grew up with DanTDM and Stampy, not the Dream guys, so yeah.

Same here, I played the game since I was like 5, which I think was like 2012 or 2013, on Pocket Edition.

lusty basin
#

Honestly. What do you think about them tackling modern things
Like AI or climate change and stuff?
The show WOULD pull it off and have the original charm but I feel like it was a tweak that I knew would happen but I dunno how to feel about it.

dire wadi
#

Idk, I don't mind shows going political. I love politics and I love using comedy to bring awareness and light to a situation, so I won't mind.

lusty basin
#

Though I doubt regular show would do the same. The show is in the 80s after all.

#

(It could be possible but I'm just saying)

dire wadi
#

Plus, they already have mentioned stuff like that before like in that one episode where there was a parent-teacher meeting and Anais started talking about the room heating up.

lusty basin
#

Yeah. Ik. Fair.
These shows have similar things but I guess it just doesn't feel the same to me (I know. I grew up. Respectfully don't judge me for it) maybe because in this era shows like to tackle modern problems and it feels weird seeing a show I grew up with talking about things I currently enjoy.

dire wadi
#

Like as in talking about politics? I guess. I mean I myself have grown a bit out of Gumball and these others shows and have just been trying to write my own stuff and learn a bit more about the world.

lusty basin
#

In political stuff. I don't mind
I actually love how far they can push with politics or how bold they'll go. It makes for good episodes/scenes.
Like the scene of gumball destroying the city after becoming president.

dire wadi
#

Yeah, lol that was funny. Would still vote him tbh, better than the reps or dems/j

lusty basin
#

Honestly. I don't mind shows going "bold" or as far as to make some risks in the shows for younger audiences. I like that. It's funny. And you can look back and laugh harder and harder every time. (Especially in regular show or gumball etc)
I just always had this tick about older shows coming back to tackle modern ideas (IT'S NOT SOMETHING BAD I SWEAR I'm just saying my me opinion and I can be wrong.) But genuinely. The show can still be good even with these things.

dire wadi
#

Yeah, I mean also you can't exactly do much if something in a show offends you other than complain, and then move past it. Like Imo you can talk about risky topics a lot more leniently in a tv show because it's for entertainment and media is usually supposed to be a safe place for discussion anyways.

#

I mean I myself would rather something that focuses more on the characters and character development, but you can juggle that with political sattire.

lusty basin
#

In gumball they tackle some actual real life things but they make it in the most ABSURD ways to the point that a parent wouldn't see it as a bad influence cause no kid can ACTUALLY do whatever the hell gumball is doing. Which is why the show is educational in its own way.

dire wadi
#

Plus, if they made a future spinoff to Gumball, like Regular Show and they both came back to tackle modern subjects then by all mean's that's fine, because those are new shows, they're the same characters, yes, but they're spinoffs.

lusty basin
dire wadi
#

Yeah, exactly.

lusty basin
dire wadi
#

Like I recently wrote a story that tackles just how brutal dictatorship is and how difficult it can be living under those situations, and it is fun to write that sort of stuff. And honestly, you don't even necessarily have to tread lightfully either, you can write whatever you want with a fictional story, because it's fiction. What is said is tied to the characters not the creator, so realistically nothing can be held against you for writing into the more grim aspects of politics.

There was this fun gig in a gumball dream with a half-horse Richard and he was handed a pineapple and gumball said

Yeah, but each term has a two week break in between, except after term 4 which you get a 6 week break from years 1 - 9. About 8 or so weeks if you are year 10. And like 10 or 11 weeks if you are year 11 and 12.
