As Told by Ginger left Paramount+ today.

Since the show was delisted from digital storefronts back in January 2015, this means there is no official way to watch the entire series anymore.

[midnight cosmos]

YOOOOOO- YEESSS!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!+

[dusk terrace]

I find it super interesting that Micheal Kovack is in this as one of the main characters(which is super cool) and I barely see ANYBODY go nuts over it the way they lost it over Angel Dust or Jax or N.

[vast cave]

I think they already did in the pilot

[dusk terrace]

No I mean like as a fanbase

Jax is constantly posted about, Angel Dust(even when passed onto Roman Blake), and people still love talking about N the cutesy innocent white boy equivalent to a robot.

I never see art or edits of Catching Up the way I see hype for the others

[vast cave]

I guess it's probably because those shows are more popular

Catching Up, even as a indie animated project, feels more like slice-of-life and casual compared to these big indie shows

and considering the examples you show are three of most popular characters voiced by Michael Kovach, might be a chance that the fandom are just posting about them specifically than other characters he voiced

[dusk terrace]

I just find that super interesting and further proves that people crave something with alot more detail/story and even flaws to pick apart or love. Regardless of whos in it

[dusk terrace]

Its the three I hear the most about

If there is some small fandom for Marks project, its very small to a point I dont see them around

[vast cave]

it's weird because the pilot was quite successful with over 4 million of views and 200k likes

but the fandom is significally niche compared to other indie animated shows

[dusk terrace]

I gotta admit to an extent I agree with the internets concensus of popularity though, Mark's pilot did not really inspire me in any way to care much about the characters/world. Im watching the second episode and as much as I like slice of life, I just dont quite click withi t

[vast cave]

honestly the show is fine for a casual audience than anything

for me, the episode was funnier compared to the pilot

[weary gust]

ngl rob's kinda annoying

[midnight cosmos]

Lol true

[foggy pulsar]

I think he's fine as far as optimistic protagonists go

[thorny solstice]

I think we’ve reached the Disney Channel is over era. Now it can join CN and Nick in terms of barely having anything to watch.

Never watched the show but honestly just looking at these characters annoys me.

[dusk terrace]

Why you gotta bully them like this?

[lost anchor]

Doesn't look that bad

I've seen worse

[bitter lava]

It just...doesn't feel Disney.

[dusk terrace]

What do you consider "disney"

[thorny solstice]

I was having a conversation kind of like this just the other day, not really sure if I can bring it all over but here’s what the convo was in a nutshell.

[vast cave]

omg one season

still sucks, man

[bitter lava]

Something that gives the aura of Disney. Primos, Pickle and Peanut, and StuGo just aren't Disney.

Shnookums and Meat too.

[dusk terrace]

Thats vague

What elements would you associate with Disney?

[foggy pulsar]

You're starting to sound like the Disney execs that axed the Owl House

[bitter lava]

Magic, imagination, fun, adventure.

[dusk terrace]

Im just confused because just saying "stugo doesnt feel like disney" is so vague and doesnt elaborate HOW it doesnt feel disney.

[dusk terrace]

Have you seen stugo? Its literally imagination, fun and adventure.

More science based akin to KND inventing stuff

[weary gust]

naw ik what u mean

this is smth i'd say im proud of u🥹

[bitter lava]

A bit. But it suits Cartoon Network more.

[dusk terrace]

Thats funny you say that

Steve Wolfhard, who worked on AT worked on that show

[bitter lava]

No wonder.

[dusk terrace]

Hes not the main person on it all but it has his influence

[foggy pulsar]

Sorry, I was talking to MysticAvengers

[dusk terrace]

Otherwise I dont really understand what you mean because not every show had direct magic involved in it. Counterfit Cat was on Disney and its more about aliens.

The proud family and its sequel show focuses on family life and some weird semi-magic elements but its not a consistent thing in episodes one after the other.

Darkwing duck was action and superhero focused

Phineas and Ferb isnt magic at all, its adventure and imagination. Milo murphys law is more slice of life and imagination. Also aliens and whatever but thats circumstantial at best.

Kim Possible? Spy show
Lilo and stitch? slice of life plus aliens/science
Dave the barbarian? Literal ADHD half the time
Rescue rangers? action adventure
Doug? slice of life and a movie with a lake monster for some reason
Recess? Slice of life, some adventure though contained with in the adventures kids would experience, not big travel ones

[sleek python]

@bitter lava I'd fight, personally

[dusk terrace]

My mistake then, sorry

[bitter lava]

Not just literal magic, magic as in charm too.

[dusk terrace]

Does not explain anything to what I just said

Better question, what would you consider "disney" shows that have what you consider right for Disney brand?

[thorny solstice]

Again, this kind of just brings me to this point. This Disney brand thing kind of falls apart especially when you consider Jetix/Disney XD were allowed to exist.

2/3rds of the Disney shows from the 2000s/2010s arguably don’t fall under the Disney brand

[dusk terrace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UtUuT8AJjQ

Nobody would understand this, not bc "its from the 90s" but because this show's focus is slice of life kids on a playground, very KND esque before KND existed. Its far from what people would consider "disney" at current time

[thorny solstice]

I only consider the 90s an exception cause a lot of those were based on their movies. With a Darkwing Duck or a Pepper Ann snuck in there.

[dusk terrace]

Recess didnt start with a movie though?

[thorny solstice]

Again, exception

[dusk terrace]

Disney threw alot at the wall for originals, mixed in with some movie stuff

[weary gust]

naw 2000s & 10s had an identity to em

either it was a teen sitcom with fantasy shit in em, or goofy show with a girly character cuz disney, and the 10s had that disney humor

[dusk terrace]

Based on YOUR nostalgia

[sleek python]

[weary gust]

hm

[rough steppe]

Indeed. Kick Buttowski is probably one of the least "Disney" things I've watched

[thin falcon]

It’s very much Disney XD though

[rough steppe]

Right. Disney XD was marketed as a more radical, cool channel

[lusty basin]

OH COME ON I ACTUALLY LIKED THIS ONE A LOT.
FUCK

[limber thistle]

At least this makes more sense than Disney Extreme Skateboarding

The StuGo cancellation does worry because now there’s only three ongoing Disney cartoons

P&F, Kiff, and maybe Big City Greens

All of which are more slice of life

[lusty basin]

Genuinely one of the best episodes I've seen in a LONG while. I loved it SO SO MUCH.
Everything about the episode was absolute cinema

It’s now poised to be the #1 animated movie in America this weekend, outgrossing ‘The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants’ and ‘Zootopia 2.’

This I gotta see

We gotta put to stop these people. THis movie had to get an audience purely ont he notion "its good and safe for kids" with a good dose of the christians taking their kids to this over anything else

I gotta admit im sorta mad they actually made this really pretty

[wide glacier]

I like how they included Zootopia 2

It’s technically true but at the same time Zootopia 2’s already made over a billion dollars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRpoDg6x5m0 POV: you forgot the show existed for at least 3 years

[limber thistle]

This show was announced in 2016 and it released two years later on the worst time slot for CN

A long time ago, people online were claiming that kids don’t wake up early on Saturday mornings anymore, but I didn’t agree with that sentiment personally

[thorny solstice]

Maybe that’s true now but I think back in 2016, people were still on the Litton Entertainment hate train. I’m pretty sure I myself was pitching a bunch of fan made Saturday morning blocks for the big five networks at the time.

My weird early teen years everyone

And even today, I’ve seen fan concepts and whole promos for a potential revival of UPN or Kids’ WB

[limber thistle]

Interesting

Here in the U.S., the last known Saturday morning block was Vortexx on The CW

That lasted about two years or so until it ended due to newer regulations

[weary gust]

rmbr when qubo was on ion

[limber thistle]

I do

It was also it’s own channel if you could find it

[keen bear]

I watched that every Saturday with my breakfast!

Trying to remember what it had.....there was Justice League Unlimited, Spectacular Spider-Man, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal.

[patent musk]

Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, but if they were premiering episodes from TTG, Gumball and SU later on in the day, vs this earlier in the day, that says something about how CN feels about the show.

In terms of what you talk about here, you find almost everything average

A New Wish came and went and I don't hear anyone truly speaking about the experiences or thoughts or feelings or jokes that the show had

You can call it mid, but people remember Channel Chasers, people remember Chip Skylark, people remember JTPH

[lean rapids]

I never actually watched the new FOP series

[weary gust]

ooo

[clever birch]

She really wasn’t too remarkable was she

[patent musk]

I enjoy nice characters but nice characters have to have a bigger struggle than what Hazel had

But its not the show's fault, Nickelodeon just tends to have stories with smaller stakes

[clever birch]

What were her struggles exactly

It’s been a while

[patent musk]

Initially, she was lonely moving to the big city missing her brother, which is a big factor as to why she has fairies

She gets friends within the first few episodes, specifically the most popular kid Winn Harper, who was so popular that Dev, who's supposed to be an antagonist in many episodes, couldn't pay the kid enough to attend his birthday party

[thorny solstice]

Just at the top of my head, I’m still on Regular Show Season 3 whenever I have a good opportunity to watch a few episodes. Felicity is one I started a couple months ago, I’d actually recommend that. And I’ve been wanting to get back to Bojack Horseman, I just haven’t found the time.

[keen bear]

Sad. But at the same time, I didn't see much potential for new stories.

[clever birch]

For a sequel series who knows what you could do

[weary gust]

didnt the love arc start there

[keen bear]

I liked it cause it was colorful, imaginative, and lighthearted.

[thorny solstice]

I’ve seen CJ in one of the thumbnails of the DVD menu. I am proceeding with caution on that one.

[keen bear]

But I also think it had some relatability with young kids. And that played a factor in its success.

[clever birch]

Timmy’s life sucked didn’t it

[keen bear]

Indeed

[sleek python]

The theme song really lied, Timmy was not an average kid

That man was abused and harassed daily

The Mutant Mayhem iteration cannot catch a fucking break.

Technicolor folds, and the sequel gets delayed. Tales season 2 comes out & is incredible, but gets canceled because of the merger. The Chrome Alone 2 toy preorders sell out in 24 hours, and Playmates loses the license...

20 years ago today, ‘Ben 10’ premiered on Cartoon Network.

vxTwitter / fixvx · Dec 26, 2025, 4:53 PM

A landmark show

You know let's have some fun.

<@&1382926422431105084> Who in here was an OG Ben 10 fan?

[rich vessel]

I've been a fan since its premiere ✨️ I was there. My dad watched it with me and related to grandpa max because my dad was an older dad

[bitter lava]

I am!

[patent musk]

Most of the Ben 10 discourse I hear revolves around either Alien X or how the last one wasn't as good as the ones prior, but I would be interested in why specifically people enjoyed the OG show

[rich vessel]

I like the adventure and the superhero aspect of it. Ben is a fun protagonist to follow and watch him grow as a both a hero and person

The OG is a good blend of action, story and comedy. Id compare it to Teen Titans in that aspect

[runic spire]

I saw it as a kid and I had a good time with it theme song was fire

[rich vessel]

The Aliens were fire too

[runic spire]

Aliens was fire too

[patent musk]

The theme song is very good fwiw 🔥

[patent lagoon]

I say the Original Ben 10 is quite good.

[lilac pewter]

My brother watched it pretty religiously, personally never really cared too much for it, the theme song is a tune, though

[keen bear]

Good action and a variety of transformations, that kept you guessing who Ben would transform into.

[patent musk]

I vaguely remember this running theme where Ben's omnitrix goes out at the worst times

Does that persist throughout that show?

[keen bear]

Through the OG, yes.

[past pebble]

Me! Watched a lot of episodes and Race Against Time when I was younger. Peak series.

[patent musk]

I vaguely remember some of the original 10 aliens, but if they debuted any more in that show, I didn't see it yet

[keen bear]

Yes there were ten more after that.

Including Cannonbolt, who was gonna be in the original 10.

Diamondhead and Upgrade were my favorites. Upgrade had some pretty unique powers.

[brittle parrot]

Me! My favorite alien was Upgrade

[patent musk]

https://tenor.com/view/ben10-upgrade-gif-26612439

What a wacky guy

[weary gust]

woah ben would be 30 then

[weary gust]

seemed boring to me

[dusk terrace]

You admitted you dont care for story driven or character driven shows that require you to pay attention to details half the time

[weary gust]

yes its too serious

danny phantom's the most seralized show i'd actually watch and care bout

cuz butch

also mgpam turns 20 today and ben 10 turns 20 tomorrow and that show had the oppurtunity to have one of the easiest name changes to mbfam or m classmate's am

[limber thistle]

MGPAM?

[dusk terrace]

My gym partners a monkey

[weary gust]

gym partners

[limber thistle]

Ah right

[foggy pulsar]

Mr Green Punches a Minister

[dusk terrace]

Tom kenny is paid to screech as a monkey

[fleet basalt]

That must've made him lose his voice temporarily. Why can't they use a real monkey sound effect?

[dusk terrace]

Because Jake the monkey is a main character that talks, consistently

Too much if you find him annoying

When I say "screech" I mean Jake is a character that often is very LOUD when speaking any lines of dialouge

[fleet basalt]

I've never heard his screech.

[dusk terrace]

Youre talking this too literally

[strange sage]

I honestly didnt join till reboot

Then I went back and watched the others

[fleet basalt]

I can be too literal

[dusk terrace]

Screech isnt just making a sound, it can also be used to describe someone talking loudly with a shrill voice or borderline screaming

Children do it all the time, you hear it when they play around

[lost anchor]

Unfortunately not me

I remember watching a little bit of Omniverse when I was younger

And I did watch several episodes of the 2016 Ben 10 when I was young

[weary gust]

victory screech? :0

[dusk terrace]

No

[weary gust]

k but how do u give birth to a dog cat mouse and cheese

[thin falcon]

Adoption

[weary gust]

but the parents are human

[dusk terrace]

Theres these things called adoption papers

Parents sign them to become parental guardians of others

Theres an entire TAWOG ep that uses this as a joke

[thin falcon]

Unless the show says they’re biological

In which case you must recite the MST3K anthem

[dusk terrace]

Cow and chicken are literally like this, I do not find it worth questioning

[bitter lava]

Still lame.

[rough steppe]

Wait, they're all siblings? Lol

[dusk terrace]

Yes

Theyre all raised as a family

[patent musk]

One day you're going to have a whole day where you don't trash cartoons

You've brought up this cartoon like 3 times, and its so funny that for someone who doesn't like the show, you bring it up the most

[rough steppe]

The more you know I suppose

That’s just funny to think about, especially for the dog and cat

[weary gust]

aww man

[weary gust]

but im not trashing im just saying

also u keep count? 🥹

[hidden portal]

Hmm, almost as if people will notice trends in the things you say as you repeat similar sounding takes

[small obsidian]

I’ve never even heard of this show, but now I’m wondering if living cheese is edible

Would it be a crime to eat living food?

[foggy pulsar]

I think there was living food in Chowder and nobody ever cared if they got eaten

[strong spoke]

if theyre capable of human-like sentience, i think so

[lost anchor]

It would probably depend on how sentient they are.

[dusk terrace]

The word is sapience and I think they'd be pretty mad you tried to eat them.

Yep and they're never coming back

[wide glacier]

Watched Zootopia 2.

[foggy pulsar]

Any thoughts on it you want you share?

[wide glacier]

sure, typing them out atm

These are the thoughts atm, the worldbuilding is still cool along with the lesbian beaver and Gary ||(even though 95% of his lines is him talking about his family)||

||really my biggest issue with it was unsurprisingly Pawbert, in terms of "twist villains" I don't think he was a very effective one. I don't know if it's because they already did a twist villain or not but it didn't really work 100% for me||

[wide glacier]

||His motives are fine enough but it's just one sentence of him going "my dad doesn't love me :(" which isn't nearly as impactful||

||this probably would've been the one time that a dramatic flashback would've worked||

[opal trail]

I will say compared to || Mayor Bellweather, Pawberts motivation makes a little more sense considering that he wanted attention from his family. The fact that his own family believed that he was working with the others speaks volumes to how little they trusted or cared about him.||

|| That being said I honestly clocked in on Pawbert being the twist villain the moment he came on screen for the first time. ||

[bitter lava]

||Folks have compared Pawbert to Hans, but the former is better written and has redeeming qualities.||

Sources have told Deadline that Netflix have been proponents of a 17-day window which would steamroll the theatrical business, while circuits such as AMC believe the line needs to be held around 45 days. (link)

Bitch you own DC…

[dusk terrace]

This has to be for server costs or something

[vast cave]

apparently just because you own these media does not mean maintaining into their own streaming service

we should've just stuck to everything being on netflix & hulu

Never knew it was 2D initially

[dusk terrace]

This wouldve slapped so hard and filled a space that Ben 10 did i think

Why this kid sound like Johnny Test and Richard Horvitz fused

[native crater]

It was It looks a bit better than the 3d slop.

[dusk terrace]

The animators did do their best with what was asked of them

[native crater]

I know it's not the animators fault. They're huge Mega Man fans. It's probably Capcom told them to change everything.

[limber thistle]

Kinda like what happened with Miraculous

See if the first season wasn’t so bad, I’d be more into it

And not even in the sense of “Get on with it, get to the lore” in the sense of “I don’t really enjoy these characters enough to want to watch them outside of the serialized stuff”

Yall think Spear's story was meant to be three seasons?

And we just assumed it would only be 2 and really wanted the anthology?

[lost anchor]

Checked Max, and it didn't say they're being removed soon.

I'm assuming this is a regional thing.

[thin falcon]

Yeah it is

[weary gust]

considering the current state of max i wouldnt be surprised if it happened here in the states

[thorny solstice]

It seemed like we were either doing anthology or following Spear’s daughter so Zombie Spear did come as a surprise but a welcome one.

10/10 adaptation

They put so much love into this movie

[silver shadow]

My first watch-through of the first film I really loved it

[lost anchor]

First cartoon of 2026 finished (that being She-Ra and the Princesses of Power)

[lusty basin]

Did I hear my goat SHE-RA mentioned??

[lost anchor]

indeed

[lusty basin]

Peak

[lost anchor]

it was a good show, I enjoyed it quite a bit

[lusty basin]

You have a favorite character?

[lost anchor]

prolly Entrapta

[lusty basin]

I love how she's indifferent to the whole war.. She just likes to invent stuff to whomever she's with 😭

[lost anchor]

She's great autistic representation as well

[lusty basin]

For me I like glimmer a lot
I believe she has one of the best arcs I've seen in the show

[bold dawn]

I got a question for everyone favorite ben 10 alien from classic-omniverse

[lusty basin]

Genuinely so many categories and aliens in my brain..
But I'm guessing heatblast for me
I was always HYPED when he showed up

Also one of my favorite transformations hands down

[weary gust]

idrk ben 10 so uh alien x

[weary gust]

hey wait dannys alr half dead, alien x can just destroy the universe and it wont affect him

[lusty basin]

I don't believe Alien X has enough screen time to be likable ngl
I mean I understand the debate of him being the most powerful but favorite..? Yeah I need an explanation on that

[bold dawn]

If Alien X can do anything then yes but ghostfreak Ultimate transformation would beat Danny pretty easily unless its against dark Danny then its a 50/50 match up

[lusty basin]

Let's be real..ben 10 has an alien for basically everything HOW can you beat him..?

[strange sage]

Probably feedback or cannonbolt

Jack Black reveals he almost played Syndrome in Pixar’s ‘The Incredibles’:

“I was offered, and I do regret it, saying no. I was like, ‘Uhhh, Brad Bird? Never heard of him!’”

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jan 4, 2026, 8:03 PM

[runic spire]

That is insane. Huge missed opportunity. But at the same time, I can't imagine his voice coming out of syndrome's mouth.

[lost anchor]

Honestly I'm glad he rejected it. Jason Lee's voice fits Syndrome quite well.

[bold dawn]

Both would have been great either way

[midnight cosmos]

So true

[dusk terrace]

YES

Do it. Its first season they have to find thier footing on what the audience wants/finds funny but otherwise its enjoyable.

[midnight cosmos]

DO IT!!

[lost anchor]

I will

I did the math, and if I wanna finish it before it gets removed, I'll have to watch 10 episodes a day

[bitter lava]

Seriously? Jack Black as Syndrome?

[opal trail]

Now I'm honestly curious to hear what that would sound like

But I still prefer Jason Lee's voice

[strange sage]

Yes

Season 2 was the best

[dusk terrace]

Ya'll just say that bc it was continued story

Even though S1 has a build up to its ending that was more subtle

And S3's build up was....honestly disappointingly all over the place

[strange sage]

No bc s2 gave us Melvin development

And God knows he needed it

[dusk terrace]

Fair, I do like it for that reason as well

Though the Halloween special also did and then for some reason S3 retconned it all

[dusk terrace]

The problem at that point that I have though is nobody knows the show exists so they still say hes an annoying know it all kid from the books/movie and im like "No!!! The show did more with him I promise please watch it"

[strange sage]

S4 was ok ig

[dusk terrace]

Forever will be upset it got cut short

[lean rapids]

YouTube will not stop recommending me that

anyways have this

[bold dawn]

Not bad

[opaque aspen]

Cool

[timber coral]

cool cool cool

[dusk terrace]

Zootopia this, zootopia furry that, shout out to the qubo canadian show that was literally anime furry designs while sorta hand holding the kids through a mystery plot

[strange sage]

So Alvin and the chipmunks meets gravity falls

[dusk terrace]

Not that kind of mystery

[runic spire]

Who the heck are these three?

[dusk terrace]

Alfred the hedgehog, Milo the skunk, and I forgot the girls name

[lean rapids]

I wish I watched qubo as a kid 😢

[dusk terrace]

I can tell you that alot of the shows that did air on the channel were cheaper canadian stuff most likely made for canada content law reasons or just something canada made cause they gave a creator a chance.

Most of these things are usually on youtube

They dont seem to care much on copyright for them

[lean rapids]

I did grow up with some of the qubo shows like Franklin or miss spider (when they aired on nick jr), and of course watching the magic school bus in the 1st grade during snack time which is a whole mood

[dusk terrace]

That wasnt on Qubo?

Miss Spider might have been at one point but it was at a time I didnt see it but

[lean rapids]

The magic school bus was on qubo

[dusk terrace]

Franklin didnt end up there as far as I know

Maybe this was later when I stopped watching

[lean rapids]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_Qubo?wprov=sfti1#Splash_Entertainment

these are all of them

[dusk terrace]

https://www.youtube.com/@TreehouseDirect/playlists

[lean rapids]

Franklin was on qubo during the last 2 or 3 months of the network

[dusk terrace]

What I can tell you is alot were something treehouse direct owns and just puts up for for free on YT

I didnt watch it alot in its last years

[lean rapids]

Qubo was a joint venture between 5 companies one of them being scholastic

That’s why TMSB was on it

[dusk terrace]

Interesting

[lean rapids]

and treehouse is owned by Corus entertainment

Another company that was in the JV for Qubo

[dusk terrace]

I remember watching Marvin the tap dancing horse alot

I liked that one

[lean rapids]

Majority qubo programming was either from nick jr pbs kids treehouse cbeebies etc

[dusk terrace]

That explains fireman sam being there and it being the CGI one

eugh

[lean rapids]

A list of a few shows:

• bob the builder
• bob the builder remake (ew)
• Magic School bus
• Netflix magic school bus (also ew)
• fireman Sam
• veggietales
• Franklin
• Timothy goes to school
• Maggie and the ferocious beast
• jay jay the jet plane (creepy)
• he man
• inspector gadget
• 321 penguins
• mike the night (fuck Mike)
• miss spider
• jakers the tales of piggly winks
• dive olly dive
• Theodore tugboat

[lean rapids]

(As I’m watching the old fireman Sam right now)

[dusk terrace]

321 penguins my beloved

[lean rapids]

I’d say qubo is the clearance rack of kid shows

[dusk terrace]

It was

I cant lie about that, it really was

[lean rapids]

but they have really nice gems

[dusk terrace]

But honestly I feel people skip over alot of the "clearance rack" sort of kid shows cause its not some big name brand or has some big fancy title or name or creator and miss out on something really fun

[lean rapids]

if only scripps had kept it -_-

Oh well at least we have MeTV toons now

[lean rapids]

You can blame Mattel for that

(HiT entertainment really but now they’re Mattel)

[dusk terrace]

Its ewwwww

Like its competent enough animation wise yeah but its....not very appealing

And I say that having excused alot of things people find ugly

But the jump from charming stop motion like Postman Pat to very generic low budget CGI is very not fun to look at and loses all its charm

[lean rapids]

(I’m watching the 80s episodes rn)

[dusk terrace]

Much recommended

[lean rapids]

Similar to other properties Mattel/hit entertainment owns

[dusk terrace]

Actually yeah, it bothers me not bc its ugly to look at neccessarily but I see the lack of care behind it all and that is more a commercial product than something made with passion

[lean rapids]

was it really necessary for these shows to become CGI

[dusk terrace]

Budget wise, yes. Cause execs want to cash in on that brand

Passion wise...no. Cause its not intending to make something for passion

[lean rapids]

and that’s how these passionate brands like Thomas, Barney, Pingu, Bob or Sam now just turned to… shit

Not so much Pingu

it’s popular in Japan though

Despite being Swiss

[dusk terrace]

Honestly I dont mind the Barney show if they'd just give him basic black eyes again

Cartoony 3d characters with more detailed eyes is just...weird imo

[lean rapids]

I still don’t understand why Barney was hated

Even before the crappy cgi show

Like since the 90s

[dusk terrace]

It focuses on the detail since everything else is simple in design which makes the eyes stand out in a way that I dont think looks good

[dusk terrace]

Because kids naturally want to seem cooler and mature so they immediately dog down anything seen as "for babies"

[lean rapids]

adults even hate it

like look at this

[dusk terrace]

Adults forget that kids shows are meant to teach kids things and complain when a kids show is the way it is

THey forget that child like lense and understanding

[lean rapids]

The 1992 Barney is a 4.1/10

Oh actually

Barney’s world is 4/10

[dusk terrace]

First rule of thumb, dont listen to alot of adults about kids media bc most average adults tend to just find anything kiddy annoying

[lean rapids]

you know what’s funny about Barney

there’s a song in season 1

Lemme show it

https://youtu.be/1kD34wtaJ_E?si=itTyVvZB7zW8sS6D

I find this to be both creepy and funnily cliché at the same time

because he’s just saying

“Hey kids don’t talk to strangers!

…Unless it’s me Barney! Let me take you away on my Barneymobile”

but the songs a bop though

[dusk terrace]

I can see that, but Barney in some context is setting himself up as a trusted party that would protect you

Which YES people can lie to you about that but Barney very much is intened to be a safe party at all times

[lean rapids]

it’s funny if you think it that way

[dusk terrace]

Its a childs mascot

these kind of mascots are intended to be ideally "safe" as a 'friend' kids have more or less mentally rather than literally

[lean rapids]

which is back to the point about why adults don’t realize this is a kids show

[dusk terrace]

Like the way Mickey Mouse is everyones friend

[limber thistle]

Baby Bop's first design looks so uncanny

[lean rapids]

of course not all adults like it

Cause it’s for preschoolers

[dusk terrace]

child thing is made for child

why are they mad

[lean rapids]

Isn’t Baby bops design the same throughout the series

or am I wrong

[dusk terrace]

This is prob one of the first costumes

Its largely similar the entire series but refined

[lean rapids]

but what’s even more creepier is Barney’s first design

[limber thistle]

The eyes in her later designs were less widened

[lean rapids]

I know that the reboot has already ended

[dusk terrace]

What

[lean rapids]

Same thing with the Thomas reboot

[dusk terrace]

that fast

[lean rapids]

I think

[dusk terrace]

Thomas im not surprised

[lean rapids]

Lemme see

Oh wait it’s still going

I lied

[dusk terrace]

The last season was last year

[limber thistle]

That was partially because of Nelvana's restructuring

[dusk terrace]

Its prob in hiatus

[lean rapids]

whoops

I thought the Barney reboot ended

I forgot nelvana is on Hiatus

[dusk terrace]

I wonder the numbers on who actually watches it since cable/TV numbers really arent relevant as more compared to streaming

[lean rapids]

Thomas AEG moved to Netflix from Cartoonito

so that must be something

Also didn’t cartoonito exist before it came to America in 2021

[dusk terrace]

Im gonna be real
as cute as AEG is visually, even I am uncomfortable about them acting the way the cars do in Disney Cars

[lean rapids]

that’s why I don’t like it

if it ain’t broke

DoNt FiX iT

[dusk terrace]

I dont mind the more lively movement, JUST STAY ON THE TRACKS WHY ARE YOU IN THE GRASS

Cars/Planes literally lived by this rule that they did stick to consistently where they 'lived' and how they could move

and how even in Cars, mud or bad terrain did get you stuck

In Jay jay the jet plane even, they acknowledged storms were bad for the planes

[lean rapids]

OH MY GOD WAIT

this is off topic

But I just found a similarity

Hear me out

TELL ME THIS SEASON AND THIS MOVIE IS NOT SIMILAR

[dusk terrace]

OH
THe concept of a villain gaining power and taking over until it blows up in his face?

[lean rapids]

but it fits so well

[dusk terrace]

Yeah thats a pretty standard story concept

[lean rapids]

IT FITS SO WELL

Well I mean it’s obvious

but still

[dusk terrace]

Though one was by charisma and the other by force

or trickery in some sense

[lean rapids]

I found an animation on TikTok

and that’s how I came up with this similarity

[dusk terrace]

was it plankton to vox populi?

[thin falcon]

ALL HAIL PLANKTON

But still it’s such a standard comparison

[dusk terrace]

Im thinking of the line "Hail Vox Populi! The people's voice" but anyone choosing Plankton as their voice to fight an opposing side is so funny to think about

[thorny solstice]

Honestly Plankton trying to become mayor so he can get the formula sounds like such a crazy idea I’m surprised they haven’t done it already

[thin falcon]

Plankton becoming mayor and instilling a law that all food companies must reveal the recipes of their products for health standards

And then they foil him by making him reveal the recipe to Chum

[thorny solstice]

Or he enters the race but loses by one vote because one of the robots he sent to rig the election forgot to register.

And then they’d probably have Squidward or Patrick run against Plankton because that’s just how these episodes tend to go

[dusk terrace]

While Patrick would be the "WOW YOU REALLY WANT THAT GUY?!" route, I think it'd be funny if Squidward was winning against him or competing cause I can only imagine his decrees and promises include "I will make your life more fulfilled with art. I will provide the space and money for everyone to express themselves. Here's a clarinet solo to convince you"

[thorny solstice]

And then his clarinet solo is the reason why he loses

[lusty basin]
