>Amphibia and Owl House
>Serialized
You don't know what that word means do you.
yeah they tried to have their cake and eat it too and they failed the same way steven universe was one day fighting a universe scale threath and the next one settling a disagreement over pizza or french fries
> was one day fighting a universe scale threath and the next one settling a disagreement over pizza or french fries
>implying no successful episodic cartoons has done this before
yeah episodic cartoons which steven universe wasnt
they tried as hard as they could to tell a serialized story
cowboy bebop did it right, episodic format with build up o he end
Except, SU fricked up the formula, and BADLY.
Why?, because the creators and showrunners were literally mentally and spiritually stunted children who had no fricking idea what they were doing, (Zuke anyone?) just wanted to use the show as their own therapy sessions (cause that worked so fricking well for Anno and 90s EVA), or just insert memberberry references of anime they grew up in the 2000s, and being meta.

>Never Forget, Never Forgive.
This
Oh please, Steven wasnt that bad.
But it really was. At worst it was mediocre
>Malacite/Cluster arc ignored until rushed stupid resolutions
>Barnshit
>hackney'd PD reveal/"Everything is Rose's fault"
>Diamonds are stopped because they think Steven is PD
>that slideshow of fusions at the finale because they spent all their screentime on terrible Stevonnie eps
It was ass, even after rewatching without the bomb forma it just made me realize how the show is only good for 1 and parts of S2. The months between releases hid how terrible the pacing is because you forget the context.

The 2010s were a mistake
DBZ had good filler like Goku and Piccolo getting their drivers license
And also flanderize ALL the characters to the point they were just walking bad roles, which is VERY common on TOEI's filler.
Everyone is an actual idiot and thinks that any episodic standalone comedy with a few episodes of plot progression, especially during finales, is “serialized” and not episodes that are continuous one after the other
If characters “grow” then it’s no longer a comedy
Character growth through a few episodes does not mean serialization, it’s not even an automatic parallel. Serialization is the formatting of a plotline in arcs where one episode continued directly after the prior one ended and continues a direct storyline
Rocky and Bullwinkle is a serialized show because every episode is broken into arcs of stories that, unless starting a new arc, ends its episode at a point and continues the next episode on that point. There is exactly zero character growth and that dumb ass moose is not complex. However, the structure of the show makes it serialized. Shows that have standalone episodic episodes are not serialized
Nobody gave a shit about Cuphead
>Million+ views on YouTube
So did Owl House.
Both got cancelled anyway.
Don't shift the goalpost homosexual. You said no one cared and i gave proof that people do care. Take your defeat.
lets be honest
owl house didnt have a plot strong enough to go on longer than it did
amphibia is another story but even then season Hollywood ruined all the steam it had goning
>So did Owl House.
Owl House only got a million views when they uploaded the finale, so they were too late on that front. Amphibia was the one getting millions of views on their clips, web shorts, and theme song takeovers.
>serialized comedy
>never funny
I fricking hope so. The over-saturation of character arcs is irredeemable.
The over indulgence of character arcs has become difficult to manage, and non-impactful. Storylines are just boring now and it’s hard to get invested, largely because a lot of it derives from the same plot layout with slight altercations.
Cuphead got cancelled after 9 months
Wasn't Cuphead cancelled before both of these ended?
Amphibia and Owl House were forced to be episodic by producers.
It's funny because Amphibia told its entire story in 3 full seasons while Cuphead ended with some episodes never finished.
Every show is on the chopping block, not just serialized cartoons. Molly Mcgee was mostly episodic and it also got cancelled.
