Because America is a different country and therefore any meaningful opposition must occur on the level of international relations, which are interactions between sovereign states who can hardly be expected to act other than in their own interests.

They don't, though because labour movements achieved real power in Europe and enacted reforms beneficial to the majority of Europeans they're generally less hostile to the idea of state intervention along socialist lines, except people from the former Eastern Bloc who are usually more leery for obvious reasons. But French farmers, for example, have a habit of blockading Paris when they feel the government is being too onerous, and you can reliably count on Europeans continent-wide to complain about the accursed bureaucrats in Brussels.
OK, now you.

you're not entirely wrong and it's true that french farmers usually expect aid from government but the last farmer protests have actually been against government and European Union intervention because ecological regulations from Brussels to stop global warming. So just for this time european farmers are acting like libertarians. Actually you might almost say they're acting like americans

Regardless, Europeans are generally friendly to state intervention compared to the USA because that's where they sit politically after the labour movements "won". It sounds like a cop-out answer but it was a very general question. I asked a more specific question, about the suspicious correlation between corporate interests and the libertarian issues that Americans do or do not care about and was hoping for a similar off-the-cuff but good faith answer.

He doesn't understand we could be like China? They have so little farmland where they have to import things like pigs from us, ironically. Imagine relying on your greatest enemies for their countries favorite food (pork related dishes). They do not have enough farmland to feed their whole country. What little they have suffers from pollution and they don't have a cattle industry like we do, so they all have to settle for other meats.
I wish you could understand we're actually proud of that in cattle country. The best steaks in the world come from those places. Do you think steaks just manifest on your plate, you moronic Californian? Are you that dumb?
Do you really also think everyone in these states are farmers? There is cities and a lot of other industries in those states your kiddy looking map is not covering. You are fricking Californian, self-important, absolutely moronic trash.

Modern american costal cities could not exist without importing resources from the interior of the nation, everything these cities produce is either intellectual properties or luxury goods, if there were some kind of event which prevented transportation of goods into cities for a prolonged period like for example if during the pandemic trucks were prevented from crossing state lines the coastal regions would likely either have to be evacuated or risk mass starvation.

The fun part is watching all these carpetbagger fricks get screwed over because we only see them as Commiefornians looking to raise our property tax and steal our land.
I've heard electricians are purposely wiring their houses wrong and real estate agents are purposely guiding them to live in places where good ol boys are going to make their lives hell.
Folks go to cities because Fricking Jobs are There. They put up with shitty conditions because Fricking Jobs are There. But since WFH took off you no longer need to rent in the same city as your job, or even the same state or country.
Are you serious? It's because those states are filled with illegal shitstains and they're taking all the resources. The quality of living in non California or Eastoid states is way higher, but you've never been to one, so you wouldn't know. Places like New York are literally falling apart yet they keep bringing in a bunch of Africans. Who wants to put up with that? Nobody.
Lel I posted stats about the California migration a while back when some Caligays were getting uppity and none of them had any comeback. Losers bringing their loser ideology to actually functional states.
Please, don't move to Idaho. We're full. The last thing I think while looking at Hell's Canyon is, "Yeah, this place needs a bunch of people shitting it up."
The sheer amount of entitlement from coastal cucks is astonishing. They seem to think they're somehow critical facets of the American economy/culture, when they're nothing but boring, talentless drones employees by the elites to work as cheap wage slaves for the corporate machine.
How are there no shows that take place in Florida? It's one of the most populous states, has interesting locations, and because it's apways green you never need to worry about seasons throughout the cartoon's run.

This is a really weird selection of shows, it seems pretty random and not comprehensive of much of anything. Also more characters would naturally live in places of higher population densities or places where entertainment is made because that's where the creators would be more likely to be familiar with.
Yeah which is why it's moronic to assume a popular vote should decide anything when it's all people living in a pocket full of places that are ran like shit.
Geography matters. Having a million people dictate how a 100 people live 1000 miles away is some tyrannical horseshit.

What do you think federalism is, you stupid frick? The point is each STATE is its own nation, in a voluntary union with each other where they all have roughly equal share of a say in the direction of the federal government.
The biggest problem now is individual states are now more populated than the entire 13 colonies were in 1781. Yet our state-level politics still operate under the assumption that they're three plantations and a village. we need a state-level electoral college.

As valid as Dredd Scott or Roe v Wade. Political activist judges making a kneejerk ruling based on the politics of the era rather than the actual constitution. Texas joined the union under the explicit premise that they could leave at any time, and the founding fathers themselves on multiple occasions discussed the validity of secession.

If sufficiently many of your states seceded together, you could of course compel the remainder to let you go. That's practically tautological. But if you don't have the de jure right, which you don't, and you don't have the de facto power, which the vast majority of individual states almost certainly do not, then you are not a voluntary union. I've idly noticed this before in American "constitutional essentialists" (or whatever the correct name is for your particular brand of politics), you tend to conflate normative and positive thinking.
(If Texas seceded I don't imagine the USA would declare war on her, just refuse to recognise her, cripple her economically including sanctions, and wait until the Texans were eating their own metaphorical boot leather and capitulated.)

>He says as he prefers 100 people dictating how millions live 1000 miles away
huh... I alway got New York vibes from that show. more you know I guess.
People always get confused about this, IIRC the creator said that there were New York influences but the show was basically set in "Seattle/Portland but bigger"
Gotham is canonically in Delaware. The joke being that nobody cares enough about Delaware to call them out on Gotham being a fictional city
Well....what kinds of episodic stories can one tell within North/South Dakota, Kansas or Nebraska?
there is a reason most entertainment does not focus on that space, not a whole lot happens there
Any sort of cartoon based on the plains Indians, for one. Some fantasy action show about the Sioux tribal wars set in the Dakota Black Hills or something. Shamans summoning up herds of white buffalo
Gotham was standardized as being in New Jersey in the 80s, Metropolis is in Delaware. This allows both of them to be geographically close to NYC/DC and has stayed consistent since then. Maybe the only inaccuracies are Gotham referencing the death penalty (usually a British writer) or any possible images of people filling their own gas tanks.
In Marvel vs DC, Superman is unable to find Metropolis in the MU and he's standing along an unused strip of I-95. Every "Gotham is Chicago/Metropolis is NYC/Gotham is NYC" idea harks back to pre-CoIE continuity. The Statue of Justice in Gotham's harbor is the last remaining vestige of when someone tried to make Gotham literally Manhattan.
If Nashville had a cartoon industry, other states like the general South might actually get attention. There is more to America than California and the East Coast. States like Utah and Wyoming are literally the "Wild West". It's so stupid we don't get more cowboy cartoons or Westerns in general.
The South literally has Williams Street in Georgia, but the only show they ever made explicitly set in the South was Squidbillies.
As for cowboys/western, they're seen as old fashioned as the traditional Hollywood musical. Even stuff like Long Gone Gulch went absolutely nowhere and there was tons of indie hype for it.
We actually almost got Party Wagon from the creators of Hey Arnold! You can watch the pilot on Youtube. I think it would've been based.
If only we had cartoons like this coming out now. If Viv can get a shitty musical like Hazbin made, we can definitely see the Western genre revived if the right person takes it. It seems like the cowboy cartoons can't get outside their pilots.
It's not a dead genre. Westerns sort of are, but they occasionally come back. It's more like musicals have become niche again. It's partially due to the fact a lot of modern musicals are not done well. The latest CGI Cats remake disaster, the new Mean Girls was a bad adaptation of a broadway musical, Viv's Hazbin is full of cut-off songs with needless cursing, etc.
Sarasota Florida literally exists because it was the summer home of John Ringling of the Ringling Bros Circus. He loved Florida so much he made the city of Venice just south of Sarasota the spring training grounds of the Circus.

We don't know where in America it takes place aside from the final part probably taking place somewhere in in what we now know as the State of New York.
Comfy slapstick comedy that follows a group of young friends trying to fix things around where they live, that takes place in some small town in Utah. Usually something goes wrong when they try to fix things and makes an even a worse problem. Some parts of the town still feel like its from the 1950s but has some contemporary conveniences and fashions, timeline is kept ambiguous throughout the series. Instead of using curse words, they will use words like: “fetch” or “shut the front door”. Innuendos around but tasteful enough for entire family to appreciate. Has scenes depicting characters going to church or outside it, but not overtly religious. Natives of Utah can tell when characters are nonmembers, exmormon, or active LDS but never actively touched upon within the series. Very few moments are played up for genuine drama.
I was in the thread where this was made back in 2017. I remember, because I suggested the Legend of Calamity Jane, but the dumbass OP didn't put the full name of the show on it.
>failed to inspire the generation that absolutely would have cherished the Duck Comics because he shits himself every time he hears the words "Duck Tales" >Has to settle for a European audience who, by and large, were reading their own localized Duck Comics; making his just a neat curio
LIke, I get it; Disney were very disrespectful to Rosa and Barks. But running off people who could be on your side because they watched the bastardized version first? Weapons Grade Stupidity. Imagine if Eastman and Laird chased off kids who'd only seen the late 2000s Nick-Turtles?
He's offering people home grown chilies and signing autographs. How exactly is he chasing people off? He very succinctly explains the difference and why everything he makes is better than Ducktales.
Also, the shit Rosa made eclipses the entire European roster of Ducks comic creators.
He put the sign up because he would genuinely get angry whenever Americans would ask about Duck Tales. He absolutely does NOT want to talk to people whose only frame of reference for his work is Duck Tales.
That's valid because he had nothing to do with it, and he's probably sick of people asking him about something he had nothing to do with instead of the stuff he actually made. And it's legit sad that people can't tell the difference.
It's more that they don't know. Unless you are actually into comics, you probably don't know the Duck Comics exist. Especially the kids who grew up on nu-Tales. Hell, Fantagraphics are the ones who reprint them in the states; not Disney themselves.
I'm happy I was able to appreciate the good shit as a kid and the kids who have to grow up watching some gay-ass cartoon instead of reading the good shit are sad b***hes.
Don Rosa doesn't hate Ducktales or push people, that's one lie spread mostly by supposed Disney wannabe fans since Don Rosa has a negative opinion of the Disney company. He just put up a sign so people could read that his comics had nothing to do with Ducktales. By the way, he wrote the comics for OG Ducktales himself, and he loves OG Ducktales, but he feels that OG Ducktales is not the true canon of Carl Barks comics. Huge difference. He has a very negative opinion of the Ducktales reboot.
And I would also resent it if people told me if I was behind something that had nothing to do with me. So I understand Rosa.
Most states east of the Mississippi River have their borders defined by rivers. States west of the Mississippi have their borders defined by treaty and sales agreements.

But Nashville is a muh libural city.
Why don't people get mad at rural vs urban areas? Their culture mashes up more than separate states. Someone in Detriot has more in common with Philadelphia or Nashville, while a farmer from Albama has more in common with 90% of Pennsylvania or Virginia due to the rural counties.
NTA but Tennessee is a pretty important state for music and some film production, I feel like Alabama is a better target since TN is one of the few Southern states that genuinely produces something the rest of the world is aware of.

Wasn't trying to. You're not wrong. Costs are cut by outsourcing cheap labor. As I mentioned in another post too many people benefit to change anything.
>So it's true?
For most animation yes, much of the heavy lifting is outsourced. Character designs and styles are stream lined to make a lot of production cheaper and quicker. There's more to it than that but that's the jist of it.
Dude Tennessee's like the music capital of the country if not arguably the planet, it's one of the few non-New York/California states with a fully established media industry.
Dude are you actually stupid, I just googled "List of albums made in Nashville" and one of the first links is the second part of a 50 entry list only covering albums from 1968 - 2008.
Since the 1960s, although saying it's the music capital of the country is an exaggeration (or more accurately, clever marketing). They're still second fiddle to New York.
Yeah Nashville really only completely dominates when it comes to Country recordings, Country even has its own subgenre called "Nashville sound". Some really famous non-country albums were recorded there though, notably by Bob Dylan and Neil Young.
Nah they cover everything although country's by far the number one genre recorded there. A ton of the indie hipster bands that Cinemaphile used to like actually recorded in Nashville.

Mighty ducks was definitely odd. It was hockey themed weapons in an action show. A good one at that but an action show nonetheless. I honestly can't recall much of the show but what I remember was lasers, exploding hockey picks, hockey sticks as weapons and not a lot of time of hockey being played. And of course the best thing about it being Tim Curry.

No one said any of this, why are ESLs unable to make an actual argument? Is it their lower IQs?
The exterior shot of the hospital and cityscape at night at the end of the show was partially recycled from Clarence, which was actually set in Arizona.
While everything else about the show screams New England, recycled assets are the building block of "Cartoon Shared Universe" autism like how people are desperate to cram every Pixar movie into one continuity.
Springfield really isn't anywhere in particular
If you go just by early episodes it's a run of the mill Midwestern town that's
1) Not the state capitol
2) Has nuclear power plants
Which already strikes out every real Springfield, but looks similar to a few Midwestern towns
But after a while the writers wanted to frick with everyone. So I occasionally Springfield is a port city. Or has a desert. Or mines oil. Or is a center of pop culture and film production

I kinda always assume that Springfield is in it’s own fictional state due to to capital city being Springfield’s state capital
Yes but in Simpsons continuity Springfield is not the state capital of its state, Capital City is
So while Illinois is a Midwestern state with lots of nuclear power plants, the Simpson's Springfield cannot be in Illinois
Unless it's some deeper joke about everything being run out of Chicago
The desolation and nothingness actually makes some cartoons work. Courage is set in Kansas and it's because he's on a desolate farm, everything else is so surreal and uncomfortable. Gravity Falls wouldn't work at all if it were set in LA. It works because it's in a weird town in Oregon.
Most of these never really talk about what state they are in. it's always random nondescript suburb.
Like Rick & Morty could be just anywhere, the state doesn't matter since they all have boring suburbs the show could take place in. Goof Troop, Recess, Big City Greens, none of it matters because they never really bother with making much out of the state. Not like King of the Hill which constantly uses Texas subjects over and over again.
Class of 3000 takes place in Atlanta. In fact it was an request from André himself to set it in his hometown since no cartoon ever took place in Atlanta.
Hey, there is some selective good music and good episodes in Class of 3000. My favorite is when the little black kid joins the industry and it's shown to be completely Satanic. Andre warned us all.
Life with Louie had a whole episode dedicated to the family having to travel all their way from their middle state to not-Disneyland in California. I don't think the hometown or even homestate is even name dropped in the cartoon, but since it's based on the childhood Louie Anderson they must not doubt live in Saint Paul in Minnesota.
>no show in Montana
Well obviously we have to fix that
>Natural Parks >Battle of Little Bighorn >Mountains >Winter weather >a town called Butte, where there's a giant toxic pit that's destroying the local water supply because of the mismanaged mining involved >Lewis and Clark passed through here >Flathead Lake Monster
Giant Mountains, Toxic Pools and a town that sounds like Butt with history nearby of a general who failed in a big mining disaster. A slice of life probably wouldn't be interesting but maybe some fantasy thing involving Native American lore and myths around the place?
MT will be like AZ, ID, CO, NV where the population is 1 million and will spontaneously increase to 3 or 4 million over the next 15-25 years, completely ruining things for the locals and turning it into the hot new place to be.
I think there are already series set in GA and FL
[...]
I also look for states that no one uses to set series
You also have certain states with highly concentrated content, like almost everything set in NY is in NYC. The farthest upstate anything gets that I know of is X-men in Westchester
Utah is rich in culture, even if it's Mormonism. Montana is famous for having no speed limit so you can drive the hell out of Montana. Montana's better off being East Idaho or West Dakota.
it is impressive how USAians can't comprehend characters existing outside of their country. >completely fictional stories and settings >oh wait..USA must be mentioned, else how can USAians relate and how can foreigners know USA is 1###???
noone mentioned japs. i grew up on european cartoons, and usually didn't even know where they are from, because miraculously none found it necessary to be in your face about it's origin. some like Totally Spies even had the show take place in USA just because.
I've always thought there was evidence for Ed, Edd, n Eddy taking place in Georgia. >they live in PEACH Creek >the movie shows they live near rolling farmlands, swamp-like areas, and a coastline >pic related is similar to spaghetti junction near Atlanta (I know it's just a cartoonish exaggeration of a highway, but still)
Many times creators set their works in the area where they grew up. Most cartoon creators are from the west coast or New England. You'd think there'd be more in Georigia given that SCAD is located there, but outside of Squidbillies, which is set in Georgia more as part of the joke than anything, I can't think of any
>Only show Chicago gets is Chicago Party Aunt
It isn't fair, we're the biggest singular metropolitan area in the united states, where's Chicagoland's show?
I should really try and finish my Cinemaphile atlas of the United States I started working on, but going through the entirety of all comics and cartoons to catalogue everything is... well, it's a lot.
I always figured KND was set in Ohio. I think it was end of Operation Z.E.R.O where the shot zooms out from the Sector V treehouse out to space and as it does so it's shown to be near the coast of Lake Erie in the Cleveland area. I haven't seen it in ages so my memory might be fuzzy but that sticks in my head for whatever reason.
[...]
Woah woah woah.
I thought Hey Arnold was set in New york?
It's essentially "What if Seattle was New York?"
Well, yes, I know where the team is located. I live twenty minutes away from Angel Stadium.
I mean, where are they on that map? Orange County is bizarrely consigned to the Dodgers, even though the Angels are based in Anaheim.
I think that map is just showing what the most popular team in each county is. If you look at Chicago you'll notice that there's no county where the White Sox are more popular than the Cubs (much like with the Angels/Dodgers situation, who can blame them). MLB should force the sale of the Angels anyways; how do you have two of the best players in the world and not get anywhere close to even sniffing the playoffs for that long?
I heard a theory that Sector V in KND is supposed to stand for Virginia. Given that they're numbered 1-5, I can see them the sector nearest DC. Arlington or Langley or somewhere
They do, Americans are obsessed with sportsball, but that's the whole world really. Normalgaggots everywhere will reject you if they become aware of how little you care about sportsball.
>Ducktales 2017 instead regular Duck comics characters version
Cringe! By the way, Duckburg doesn't have to be exactly in California, there are many indications from different authors that it can be in other places in America, and in European comics, Duckburg is like one of the European cities.
Don Rosa doesn't hate Ducktales or push people, that's one lie spread mostly by supposed Disney wannabe fans since Don Rosa has a negative opinion of the Disney company. He just put up a sign so people could read that his comics had nothing to do with Ducktales. By the way, he wrote the comics for OG Ducktales himself, and he loves OG Ducktales, but he feels that OG Ducktales is not the true canon of Carl Barks comics. Huge difference. He has a very negative opinion of the Ducktales reboot.
And I would also resent it if people told me if I was behind something that had nothing to do with me. So I understand Rosa.
Tell me burgers,are Great Lakes states(Illinois,Ohio,Michigan,Wisconsin,etc...) considered flyovers or are there enough important cities to put them on part with California/New York ?
you're on Cinemaphile remember ? A little banter shouldn't upset you so much. I call myself a yuropoor or a froggay from time to time as do everybody else
Anyway as for the question I've asked I'm genuinely curious to hear the answer
I've read through the entire run of Dick Tracy and with the exception of one latter strip writer stupidly ONCE mentioning Chicago by name it's generally accepted that "Dick Tracy's City" (as it's always referred to) is in fact the Windy City, just one that never really left 1949 in terms of its architecture or ethnic makeup.
That being said it's kind of stupid popular media doesn't set itself in the actual location.
>Autobot City is located near Chattanooga, Tennessee.
I guess that's interesting when the G1 continuity states that the Autobots crashlanded in the volcanic fields of Arizona.
The "volcanic fields of Arizona" are five miles north of Flagstaff on the way to one of the historic pueblos. This just gets funnier and funnier.
Recently Greg Land did an X-Men issue set right here where the backdrop for a fight scene is the San Francisco Peaks, and the most notorious tracer in the industry did not use any references for them. This is exactly the situation where any sane artist would trace and he couldn't be bothered to do a Google image search (none of those images are copyrighted).
Big cities are always hellscapes by definition; the American dream was to be a homesteader and you only temporarily lived or worked in a city until you saved enough money to move out of it.
In the most direct sense Gumball is a show about failed cartoon characters attending remedial "learn to be funny" school, which is why all the characters are different styles. It's the original pitch that CN responded to with "that's depressing; keep the school setting and the style diversity but don't mention the premise openly"
So in that sense California isn't out of place for a story ABOUT cartoon characters.

Stay upset Jeeter, those possums ain't gonna hunt themselves
Although this is a meme question, I'll bite. It's to save on production costs for animating scenes otherwise they'll go the opposite route and make it into souless CGI shit like Clone Wars. The style is because other popular shows are also in that style so they imitate it and think their show will also be as popular because it looks the same.
Seriously, with how huge Florida is by population, how infamous it is nationally for the wacky headlines that come from it, and how popular it is globally as a vacation destination, how the frick are there no cartoons set in Florida? But noooo, we gotta have a ten millionth cartoon set in California or New York.
>how the frick are there no cartoons set in Florida?
Floridia is a living cartoon. It has wildlife indigenous to the entire area, it has a reporting system which requires disclosing of "Floridia Man's" exploits, and their current governor is so cartoonishly evil that he's bringing everyone around him down because he couldn't be considered a serious contender for higher office.
>no cartoons in Floridia
There was the Ace Ventura cartoon, but I remember him being such a globetrotting super dick that the show barely took place in Floridia anyway.
Got a possible hit with Tram Galaxy. Never knew where it was supposed to be set but I just finally finished it and the final episode shows it somewhere in the northeast gulf coast, either the Florida panhandle, Mississippi or Alabama. I could see them setting it in Louisiana because France and Canada are involved but is seems to be to the right of it. if it is, at 52 episodes that would put it over AV.
American city dwellers are basically in a whole ass other country at this point. You have to realize that other than some basic cultural commonalities, America is a very very diverse place depending on where you are. North and South, East and West, Urban, Suburban and rural, and that’s just the whites. When people say >Americans 9/10 times they’re talking about one kind of American, as separate from the rest of us as you are from your neighboring countries.
We aren’t all cowboys, but those guys do exist. We have the meth-head trailer park boys, but they are only a tiny sliver. Californian blue haired limp-wristers are around, but if you live in another state you rarely see them. America is BIG.
Only ever seen some bits of SU over the years but that show always felt Californian or Portland as frick. Surprised its actually Jersey somehow. Everything there is gay West Coast to the max

walking
Imagine not having the sweet freedom of a personal vehicle. When I hear Germans rant about how great it is to drive on the autobahn I laugh, as our American interstate highways probably cover so much more square footage that you could pave the entire kraut homeland with them.
So it's better to be dependent on state infrastructure like trains, buses, and taxis?
>Just walk bro
And be even more dependent on corporate and state infrastructure that's closest to me with no way to leave if things become shit?
It's easier to leave if you can trivially buy a train ticket out of town.
>So it's better to be dependent on state infrastructure like trains, buses, and taxis?
Why does American opposition to the state always line up so neatly with big corporate interests?
Why does European opposition to America always line up so neatly with big state interests?
Because America is a different country and therefore any meaningful opposition must occur on the level of international relations, which are interactions between sovereign states who can hardly be expected to act other than in their own interests.
Now you.
Not what I meant. Why do Europs always think big state-controlled society is the only possible way?
They don't, though because labour movements achieved real power in Europe and enacted reforms beneficial to the majority of Europeans they're generally less hostile to the idea of state intervention along socialist lines, except people from the former Eastern Bloc who are usually more leery for obvious reasons. But French farmers, for example, have a habit of blockading Paris when they feel the government is being too onerous, and you can reliably count on Europeans continent-wide to complain about the accursed bureaucrats in Brussels.
OK, now you.
you're not entirely wrong and it's true that french farmers usually expect aid from government but the last farmer protests have actually been against government and European Union intervention because ecological regulations from Brussels to stop global warming. So just for this time european farmers are acting like libertarians. Actually you might almost say they're acting like americans
Regardless, Europeans are generally friendly to state intervention compared to the USA because that's where they sit politically after the labour movements "won". It sounds like a cop-out answer but it was a very general question. I asked a more specific question, about the suspicious correlation between corporate interests and the libertarian issues that Americans do or do not care about and was hoping for a similar off-the-cuff but good faith answer.
>Half the replies can't help but b***h about minorities
Those car fumes are fricking up your brains.
You don't fricking live here, you Eurotrash. You cannot take the bus or subways just anywhere in America and cars give you independence you wouldn't comprehend. I keep getting recommended Europeans whining about how America is built around cars. Do you think we're going to take the steam engine? We don't live in ye olde Europe.
You are correct and the only people that disagree are fat old people.

Way to expose yourself as LA entertainment industry garbage or some subhuman from the east coast. The rest of America literally runs America. America would be shit without the states nobody in these industries pays attention to. All the food in America? Comes from those states. All the important industries? It comes from those states.
California is not even a desired state anymore and you morons are living off the reputation it had in the 80s. It's 2024, your state is filled with homelessness and violent illegal immigrants. Nobody likes you.
>We make CORN we're important!!!!
All the money and imports are from the coastal states, Flylovers would just be glorified peasants. You already kinda are given the disproportionate federal welfare required to take care of the assbelt.
No, it doesn't. Do you really think only corn is made in the rest of the US? You are a fricking moronic east coast subhumanoid. The industry comes from literally every other state.
Oh forgive me, you raise Cows too.
No one cares Cletus.
>Shits on the breadbasket of America
Unironic homosexual.
He doesn't understand we could be like China? They have so little farmland where they have to import things like pigs from us, ironically. Imagine relying on your greatest enemies for their countries favorite food (pork related dishes). They do not have enough farmland to feed their whole country. What little they have suffers from pollution and they don't have a cattle industry like we do, so they all have to settle for other meats.
>allied industries
huh?
https://www.osha.gov/data/sic-manual/major-group-28
I wish you could understand we're actually proud of that in cattle country. The best steaks in the world come from those places. Do you think steaks just manifest on your plate, you moronic Californian? Are you that dumb?
Do you really also think everyone in these states are farmers? There is cities and a lot of other industries in those states your kiddy looking map is not covering. You are fricking Californian, self-important, absolutely moronic trash.
The infographic you posted disproves your argument.
according to it the major exports of middle america include
>Presicion instruments
>mineral products
>Machinery and mechanical appliances
>Automotive industries

>Precious metals and stones.
Seems quite varied to me.

Modern american costal cities could not exist without importing resources from the interior of the nation, everything these cities produce is either intellectual properties or luxury goods, if there were some kind of event which prevented transportation of goods into cities for a prolonged period like for example if during the pandemic trucks were prevented from crossing state lines the coastal regions would likely either have to be evacuated or risk mass starvation.

The fun part is watching all these carpetbagger fricks get screwed over because we only see them as Commiefornians looking to raise our property tax and steal our land.
I've heard electricians are purposely wiring their houses wrong and real estate agents are purposely guiding them to live in places where good ol boys are going to make their lives hell.
That sounds like cope to me
It's not a question of "reputation"
Folks go to cities because Fricking Jobs are There. They put up with shitty conditions because Fricking Jobs are There. But since WFH took off you no longer need to rent in the same city as your job, or even the same state or country.
Are you serious? It's because those states are filled with illegal shitstains and they're taking all the resources. The quality of living in non California or Eastoid states is way higher, but you've never been to one, so you wouldn't know. Places like New York are literally falling apart yet they keep bringing in a bunch of Africans. Who wants to put up with that? Nobody.
>The quality of living in non California or Eastoid states is way higher
This damage control is pathetic. No one respects unhinged freaks like you.
This doesn't even have data for California
Nobody lives in California.
This. California is a myth invented by the conservative media to drive minority populations to vote Republican.
Aren't most companies axing WFH because it's losing them money
Lel I posted stats about the California migration a while back when some Caligays were getting uppity and none of them had any comeback. Losers bringing their loser ideology to actually functional states.
Why nobody wants to move to New Mexico?

Isn't Simpsons in the middle?
Springfield is probably somewhere in the Midwest like Ohio
Yeah, North Kentucky is somewhere in there. But also on the coast, when it's convenient. But mostly in the middle.
Springfield being so geologically non-specific is a joke they've ran to the ground for almost 40 years
Springfield is an everytown, but it's confirmed to be based on Groening's upbringing in Oregon.
no way in hell OTGW takes place in AZ
Recycled background from Clarence in the ending made people assume it was the same town.
The only way I could fathom it is if its north Arizona like Flagstaff
FLAGSTAFF MENTIONED
I don't have the time or skill to make Yui into a fat trans Navajo in a Coconino Community College baseball cap holding a handle of cheap liquor
iirc, it's set in western Mass. the species of bluebird depicted are endemic there.
This is even funnier because I'm from Westfield originally
There ain't no forests in az just deserts, though I could see if it's the real world and not the fantasy woods
North of Phoenix is quite forest-y and it even snows in the winter.
One of the most famous alien abduction stories was centered around AZ's lumber industry.
This is a really weird selection of shows, it seems pretty random and not comprehensive of much of anything. Also more characters would naturally live in places of higher population densities or places where entertainment is made because that's where the creators would be more likely to be familiar with.
Twelve Forever is also Iowa
Probably because humans are used to large population centers over spreading out evenly across the land. Safety in numbers and what not.
That's not how it works IRL. Even in America like 90% of the population is within 10 of the 50 states.
*50%
With 33% of the population of the entire country in 5 of the states. NY and Florida have populations that can match 25 of the other states.
Don't LA, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, NYC, Chicago, Orlando, Miami and Detroit contain the lion's share of the country's population?
Yeah which is why it's moronic to assume a popular vote should decide anything when it's all people living in a pocket full of places that are ran like shit.
Geography matters. Having a million people dictate how a 100 people live 1000 miles away is some tyrannical horseshit.
Then break you dumbass country apart then. If the stragglers out in buttfrick-nowhere don't want to follow the rules the majority their country have agreed to follow, then they shouldn't BE in the same country.
Woke New York and Wokefornia are not the majority of states in the country.
Either of those has like 10x more people than the flyover states combined
10x more immigrants you mean. If you count only legal americans breadbasket has a higher population
Then let them be their own countries already. Hell, the way you fricks cry about what the "Coastal Cities" are doing, you could just let the whole Northeast Corridor be its own country and you'd be just fine.
>Then let them be their own countries already
Secession was tried in this country once before. It didn't end well.
>Then break you dumbass country apart then
lol because that works out so well historically
What do you think federalism is, you stupid frick? The point is each STATE is its own nation, in a voluntary union with each other where they all have roughly equal share of a say in the direction of the federal government.
The biggest problem now is individual states are now more populated than the entire 13 colonies were in 1781. Yet our state-level politics still operate under the assumption that they're three plantations and a village. we need a state-level electoral college.
You're not in a voluntary union
>let me tell you about your country
Articles of Confederation. Federal government was created when the 13 colonies voted to create a Union after they individually won their independence. The 'continental army' comprised of the various colonial militias voluntarily uniting under a single general.
>b-but 1869 scotus ruling saying secession is illegal
As valid as Dredd Scott or Roe v Wade. Political activist judges making a kneejerk ruling based on the politics of the era rather than the actual constitution. Texas joined the union under the explicit premise that they could leave at any time, and the founding fathers themselves on multiple occasions discussed the validity of secession. The union is voluntary, Lincoln was a tyrant, get fricked.
So you don't have the right to secede either de jure or de facto, but the union is still voluntary.
You do according to the actual constitution and to the opinions of the men who wrote it.
But not according to living men or current law or factual reality. Should have carved it into a stone tablet and disseminated it from Mount Sinai.
Don't need to ask permission, amigo. States can just leave. What are they gonna do, declare war?
>uhm, civil war chuddie
it's not 1860. The majority of servicemen would willingly fight against the federal government if they had to choose, and regardless the majority of military bases and arms manufacturers are in the States most likely to secede. What's Congress gonna do when all their bullets and tanks are in fricking Texas and North Carolina? Congress can't even enforce half the gun laws they've passed because the states called their bluff.
>shoulda written it in stone
https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/
Yes? We don't want you here because we've seen how you act when left to your own devices. Stay in the bed you made for yourself, don't frick up ours too
If sufficiently many of your states seceded together, you could of course compel the remainder to let you go. That's practically tautological. But if you don't have the de jure right, which you don't, and you don't have the de facto power, which the vast majority of individual states almost certainly do not, then you are not a voluntary union. I've idly noticed this before in American "constitutional essentialists" (or whatever the correct name is for your particular brand of politics), you tend to conflate normative and positive thinking.
(If Texas seceded I don't imagine the USA would declare war on her, just refuse to recognise her, cripple her economically including sanctions, and wait until the Texans were eating their own metaphorical boot leather and capitulated.)
Texas wants to secede until it realizes all the businesses that moved there will now have to deal with tariffs to do business with the US, it will have no federal protection, and then it shuts up like a good dog
>Don't need to ask permission, amigo. States can just leave.
So leave, perrita. Oh wait, you can't.
>Lincoln was a tyrant
Go read the decision in Virginia v. Loving. I expected a long essay on human rights or the 14th Amendment and it's almost entirely "WE PUSHED YOUR SHIT IN AT ANTIETAM AND YOU ARE NOT IN FACT A COUNTRY, WE'LL HAPPILY BURN AND SALT YOUR moron CITIES AGAIN IF YOU DON'T COMPREHEND THIS JEETER"

why is the hey Arnold cast in Washington? didn't that show take place in New York?
Nope, look it up. Set in a fictional Washington city based primarily on Seattle and Portland.
huh... I alway got New York vibes from that show. more you know I guess.
idk why they decided to make their city look as Brooklyn as possible and then throw it into Washington State
People always get confused about this, IIRC the creator said that there were New York influences but the show was basically set in "Seattle/Portland but bigger"
The Pig War episode is based on a real event that happened there.

Gotham is canonically in Delaware. The joke being that nobody cares enough about Delaware to call them out on Gotham being a fictional city
Any sort of cartoon based on the plains Indians, for one. Some fantasy action show about the Sioux tribal wars set in the Dakota Black Hills or something. Shamans summoning up herds of white buffalo
Gotham was standardized as being in New Jersey in the 80s, Metropolis is in Delaware. This allows both of them to be geographically close to NYC/DC and has stayed consistent since then. Maybe the only inaccuracies are Gotham referencing the death penalty (usually a British writer) or any possible images of people filling their own gas tanks.
In Marvel vs DC, Superman is unable to find Metropolis in the MU and he's standing along an unused strip of I-95. Every "Gotham is Chicago/Metropolis is NYC/Gotham is NYC" idea harks back to pre-CoIE continuity. The Statue of Justice in Gotham's harbor is the last remaining vestige of when someone tried to make Gotham literally Manhattan.
Wikipedia says Metropolis is in New York.

how can we get more state representation?
If Nashville had a cartoon industry, other states like the general South might actually get attention. There is more to America than California and the East Coast. States like Utah and Wyoming are literally the "Wild West". It's so stupid we don't get more cowboy cartoons or Westerns in general.
The South literally has Williams Street in Georgia, but the only show they ever made explicitly set in the South was Squidbillies.
As for cowboys/western, they're seen as old fashioned as the traditional Hollywood musical. Even stuff like Long Gone Gulch went absolutely nowhere and there was tons of indie hype for it.
We actually almost got Party Wagon from the creators of Hey Arnold! You can watch the pilot on Youtube. I think it would've been based.
If only we had cartoons like this coming out now. If Viv can get a shitty musical like Hazbin made, we can definitely see the Western genre revived if the right person takes it. It seems like the cowboy cartoons can't get outside their pilots.
Japan doesn't have any musicals either. It's a dead genre.
It's not a dead genre. Westerns sort of are, but they occasionally come back. It's more like musicals have become niche again. It's partially due to the fact a lot of modern musicals are not done well. The latest CGI Cats remake disaster, the new Mean Girls was a bad adaptation of a broadway musical, Viv's Hazbin is full of cut-off songs with needless cursing, etc.
>Dumbo in Florida

The circus is going down to Florida.
Sarasota Florida literally exists because it was the summer home of John Ringling of the Ringling Bros Circus. He loved Florida so much he made the city of Venice just south of Sarasota the spring training grounds of the Circus.
is there some piece of media confirming bloom county as being in iowa I haven't seen?
I always thought bloom county was out near the eastern farmlands of colorado since breathed lived in colorado for a while.

I guess that's interesting when the G1 continuity states that the Autobots crashlanded in the volcanic fields of Arizona.

Pitch me an idea for a cartoon set in Utah
Bee cartoon where the main Character learns life lessons, kind like Saving Me (Not sure if that Cartoon is set in Utah) in that the cartoon has moral lessons but its not a Religious sermon.
>What about a Book of Mormon Cartoon
We don't know where in America it takes place aside from the final part probably taking place somewhere in in what we now know as the State of New York.
Comfy slapstick comedy that follows a group of young friends trying to fix things around where they live, that takes place in some small town in Utah. Usually something goes wrong when they try to fix things and makes an even a worse problem. Some parts of the town still feel like its from the 1950s but has some contemporary conveniences and fashions, timeline is kept ambiguous throughout the series. Instead of using curse words, they will use words like: “fetch” or “shut the front door”. Innuendos around but tasteful enough for entire family to appreciate. Has scenes depicting characters going to church or outside it, but not overtly religious. Natives of Utah can tell when characters are nonmembers, exmormon, or active LDS but never actively touched upon within the series. Very few moments are played up for genuine drama.
Basically just EENE but in Utah.
WHERE'S STATESOTA???
The entirety of Archie takes place around Boston. The names Cabot and Lodge were the giveaway and Riverdale being a stone's throw from Salem.

>failed to inspire the generation that absolutely would have cherished the Duck Comics because he shits himself every time he hears the words "Duck Tales"
>Has to settle for a European audience who, by and large, were reading their own localized Duck Comics; making his just a neat curio
LIke, I get it; Disney were very disrespectful to Rosa and Barks. But running off people who could be on your side because they watched the bastardized version first? Weapons Grade Stupidity. Imagine if Eastman and Laird chased off kids who'd only seen the late 2000s Nick-Turtles?
He's offering people home grown chilies and signing autographs. How exactly is he chasing people off? He very succinctly explains the difference and why everything he makes is better than Ducktales.
Also, the shit Rosa made eclipses the entire European roster of Ducks comic creators.
He put the sign up because he would genuinely get angry whenever Americans would ask about Duck Tales. He absolutely does NOT want to talk to people whose only frame of reference for his work is Duck Tales.
That's valid because he had nothing to do with it, and he's probably sick of people asking him about something he had nothing to do with instead of the stuff he actually made. And it's legit sad that people can't tell the difference.
It's more that they don't know. Unless you are actually into comics, you probably don't know the Duck Comics exist. Especially the kids who grew up on nu-Tales. Hell, Fantagraphics are the ones who reprint them in the states; not Disney themselves.
I'm happy I was able to appreciate the good shit as a kid and the kids who have to grow up watching some gay-ass cartoon instead of reading the good shit are sad b***hes.
Don Rosa doesn't hate Ducktales or push people, that's one lie spread mostly by supposed Disney wannabe fans since Don Rosa has a negative opinion of the Disney company. He just put up a sign so people could read that his comics had nothing to do with Ducktales. By the way, he wrote the comics for OG Ducktales himself, and he loves OG Ducktales, but he feels that OG Ducktales is not the true canon of Carl Barks comics. Huge difference. He has a very negative opinion of the Ducktales reboot.
And I would also resent it if people told me if I was behind something that had nothing to do with me. So I understand Rosa.
I always get a chuckle out of how his "NOT 'DUCKTALES'" sign reads like a Chris-chan rant.
Frostbite Falls is literally International Falls, MN. You put Rocky and Bullwinkle in their proper place right now you coastgay trash.
well there are cartoon characters for those area of you'd just stop being ignorant.

American website.
Rosa is a heartwarming example of Chris Chan tier autism being used for good instead of evil
Now make a studio map showing where all the major cartoon studios are at, then you'll have your magical answer why everything is in those states.
Not American.
Why do Amerifats argue with themselves over which shithole is best? You're literally a globo uniculture, it's narcissistic as hell that you pretend otherwise.
The fact you’re using our website and are trying to pretend your pathetic shithole country doesn’t probably import mostly western culture (and exporting your poorest people to make OUR lives worse) is the definition of “thirdie moment.”
I'm French.
Oh my bad.
As-salamu alaikum, brother.
Shut up, thirdie. I'm trying to dunk on Californians and NY. The reason why you're here is because you have no industry in your shithole and you have to consume our media. You're welcome, by the way.

The rest of the third world are such seething masses of resentful cretins, they HAVE to project their resentment for their lot onto people in a totally different country, all while they fail to take any sort of action in their own countries to improve their lot.
One of these stupid Black folk said America has a crabs in a bucket mentality, which I think we do to an extend, but these morons aren't self aware enough to see their own claws
Your open resentment aside for a moment, there's little incentive to change working conditions as long as it keeps costs down. Everyone benefits from cheap labor so nothing is done.

Reading comprehension anon.
Migrants do it because they're forced to. Americans just do it because they're proud of it.
I know I called illegals subhumans, but Jesus. I don't even think of slave labor as "bettering yourself". You are a fricking monster. I just want them to go back to their countries.

US is basically one big crabs in a bucket.
If you were capable of hard work you'd have improved your own shit hole rather than depending on white people

Tennessee's a music hub like New York's the TV hub and California's the movie hub.
But Nashville is a muh libural city.
Why don't people get mad at rural vs urban areas? Their culture mashes up more than separate states. Someone in Detriot has more in common with Philadelphia or Nashville, while a farmer from Albama has more in common with 90% of Pennsylvania or Virginia due to the rural counties.
NTA but Tennessee is a pretty important state for music and some film production, I feel like Alabama is a better target since TN is one of the few Southern states that genuinely produces something the rest of the world is aware of.
Cartoons aren't even made in California, you dumbass. You idiots export everything you can to Korea. Anything that is made in California is woke garbage and cartoonists can't even draw anymore outside of terrible tweening. You should be thanking the Koreans they keep your industry afloat.
>You idiots export everything you can to Korea
Outsource. The word you're looking for is outsource.
>can't refute the point
So it's true? They really are all made in Korea. So much for Californian made, huh?
>can't refute the point
Wasn't trying to. You're not wrong. Costs are cut by outsourcing cheap labor. As I mentioned in another post too many people benefit to change anything.
>So it's true?
For most animation yes, much of the heavy lifting is outsourced. Character designs and styles are stream lined to make a lot of production cheaper and quicker. There's more to it than that but that's the jist of it.
Which states does Ben 10 take place in?
Dude Tennessee's like the music capital of the country if not arguably the planet, it's one of the few non-New York/California states with a fully established media industry.
since when?
Since the 1950s, look up where most major albums have been recorded. There's a reason Nashville's called "Music City USA".
Fake
Dude are you actually stupid, I just googled "List of albums made in Nashville" and one of the first links is the second part of a 50 entry list only covering albums from 1968 - 2008.

Unironically where are you from where you haven't heard that Nashville was a music production capital?
San Diego
Really? Well I'm from City Heights and I was familiar with Nashville as a music production city.
Since the 1960s, although saying it's the music capital of the country is an exaggeration (or more accurately, clever marketing). They're still second fiddle to New York.
Yeah Nashville really only completely dominates when it comes to Country recordings, Country even has its own subgenre called "Nashville sound". Some really famous non-country albums were recorded there though, notably by Bob Dylan and Neil Young.
Don't they only produce shitty country music and trashy nu-metal bands?
Nah they cover everything although country's by far the number one genre recorded there. A ton of the indie hipster bands that Cinemaphile used to like actually recorded in Nashville.
Do Californians unironically not know what Nashville is?
Nashvillian here, no they are very, very well aware of this place given how many of them are moving here. That anon's just a dumbass.

Why is there no sports animated show in America? There's so much untapped potential there.
lol moron
Want to point me to a modern one? Yeah, didn't think so.
Space Jam 2
Just because it exists doesn't mean we should utter it's name. All good sports cartoon shows seem to be in the past.
It's usually for kids. Pic related.
Mighty ducks was definitely odd. It was hockey themed weapons in an action show. A good one at that but an action show nonetheless. I honestly can't recall much of the show but what I remember was lasers, exploding hockey picks, hockey sticks as weapons and not a lot of time of hockey being played. And of course the best thing about it being Tim Curry.
People into sports watch sports when they want sports. The thing with sports is there will always be a new season. They're not hurting for something to watch. There's not a lot of draw there to watch cartoons.
There used to be, but not anymore.
The one thing I genuinely envy about Japan is that they fricking love their sports cartoons. They say that Shonen Jump has never recovered from the loss of Slum Dunk, and it was about a sport Japan doesn't even like.
Want to point me to a Surfing manga? Yeah, didn't think so.
Yeah, that's what we're missing. The fact they have more football animated shows than us is a crime. Do they even have football as a sport in Japan?
SHOOBIES
Remember when the squid beefed it?
Not really, but the guy who does One Punch Man made a football manga back in the day that was so popular even dudes on my highschool football team read it.
Still mad there weren't any hot chicks in this
>Suzuna isn't a hot chick
Still thy tongue, knave
Sports fans think cartoons are gay and won't watch them. That's why they prefer anime like Slam Dunk.
Costs less to just make a live-action movie with soccer balls with a fake celeb.
There was a shitty NFL-produced one about 15 years ago. Something like Rush Zone or Legends of the End Zone or something similar.
There were at least a dozen. There was a superhero one when I was a little kid where Wayne Gretzky (hockey) and Michael Jordan go around fighting crime, there's at least four NASCAR racing cartoons, and then the notorious Harlem Globetrotters (basketball) cartoons
These are pretty generalized. Like my mother was a Yankees fan while my aunt's family 4 miles away followed the mets. And I don't anybody that likes the giants, not that it comes up much.
This map off reddit is probably more accurate.
what about hockey
IIRC, those charts come from a ticket service site that bases the map on the frequency of tickets/merch purchased for those teams in those areas.
Where the hell are the Angels?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Angels
Well, yes, I know where the team is located. I live twenty minutes away from Angel Stadium.
I mean, where are they on that map? Orange County is bizarrely consigned to the Dodgers, even though the Angels are based in Anaheim.
>Food stamps
That's some Eastern Bloc levels of poor, what happened to muh DREAM?

You're complaining that white people have created a system to help others, even though that system is why you went begging to them in the first place?

wat?
The exterior shot of the hospital and cityscape at night at the end of the show was partially recycled from Clarence, which was actually set in Arizona.
While everything else about the show screams New England, recycled assets are the building block of "Cartoon Shared Universe" autism like how people are desperate to cram every Pixar movie into one continuity.
Minnesota has one of the most famous cartoons of all time: Charlie Brown and Snoopy. They live around Minneapolis.
>no Springfield on the map
lame
Springfield really isn't anywhere in particular
If you go just by early episodes it's a run of the mill Midwestern town that's
1) Not the state capitol
2) Has nuclear power plants
Which already strikes out every real Springfield, but looks similar to a few Midwestern towns
But after a while the writers wanted to frick with everyone. So I occasionally Springfield is a port city. Or has a desert. Or mines oil. Or is a center of pop culture and film production
I kinda always assume that Springfield is in it’s own fictional state due to to capital city being Springfield’s state capital
It's anywhere or anything to suit a given project's needs
Springfield is the capital of Illinois.
Yes but in Simpsons continuity Springfield is not the state capital of its state, Capital City is
So while Illinois is a Midwestern state with lots of nuclear power plants, the Simpson's Springfield cannot be in Illinois
Unless it's some deeper joke about everything being run out of Chicago
> in Simpsons continuity
>Simpsons
>continuity
Well....what kinds of episodic stories can one tell within North/South Dakota, Kansas or Nebraska?
there is a reason most entertainment does not focus on that space, not a whole lot happens there
The desolation and nothingness actually makes some cartoons work. Courage is set in Kansas and it's because he's on a desolate farm, everything else is so surreal and uncomfortable. Gravity Falls wouldn't work at all if it were set in LA. It works because it's in a weird town in Oregon.
Most of these never really talk about what state they are in. it's always random nondescript suburb.
Like Rick & Morty could be just anywhere, the state doesn't matter since they all have boring suburbs the show could take place in. Goof Troop, Recess, Big City Greens, none of it matters because they never really bother with making much out of the state. Not like King of the Hill which constantly uses Texas subjects over and over again.
If anyone remembers Bless the Harts, that was NC but could have been anywhere in the south apart from a few specific references
squidbillies is in georgia
This map need to add
Beavis and Butt-head, Daria and Goode Family to Texas
Class of 3000 takes place in Atlanta. In fact it was an request from André himself to set it in his hometown since no cartoon ever took place in Atlanta.
No GOOD cartoon takes place in Atlanta.
Hey, there is some selective good music and good episodes in Class of 3000. My favorite is when the little black kid joins the industry and it's shown to be completely Satanic. Andre warned us all.
Life with Louie had a whole episode dedicated to the family having to travel all their way from their middle state to not-Disneyland in California. I don't think the hometown or even homestate is even name dropped in the cartoon, but since it's based on the childhood Louie Anderson they must not doubt live in Saint Paul in Minnesota.

I also look for states that no one uses to set series
Just make a fictional one and name it something stupid like East Carolina or New Texico depending on the climate.
seeing the map of this image (and this post):
my best options are.
>Utah
>Montana
>South Carolina
>Kid Cosmic
CMcC said AZ was an influence for the setting but also admitted it could be any remote desert town
>no show in Montana
Well obviously we have to fix that
>Natural Parks
>Battle of Little Bighorn
>Mountains
>Winter weather
>a town called Butte, where there's a giant toxic pit that's destroying the local water supply because of the mismanaged mining involved
>Lewis and Clark passed through here
>Flathead Lake Monster
Giant Mountains, Toxic Pools and a town that sounds like Butt with history nearby of a general who failed in a big mining disaster. A slice of life probably wouldn't be interesting but maybe some fantasy thing involving Native American lore and myths around the place?
Montana is an excellent place to set a series
there is certainly too much potential
MT will be like AZ, ID, CO, NV where the population is 1 million and will spontaneously increase to 3 or 4 million over the next 15-25 years, completely ruining things for the locals and turning it into the hot new place to be.
Woah woah woah.
I thought Hey Arnold was set in New york?
It takes place in a fictional city that's an amalgam of various big cities, including New York, but officially it's in Washington state.
You also have certain states with highly concentrated content, like almost everything set in NY is in NYC. The farthest upstate anything gets that I know of is X-men in Westchester
I hate New York.
I prefer a state that no one uses to set stories or series
What do you think is my best option?
Montana, Utah, or Alabama seem to be the best bets.
>Alabama: .. At Least You Have Boxer Hockey
look at the map:
And between Montana and Utah, which of the two is the best to set a cartoon series?
Depends. I'd say Utah's easier to work with.
Utah is rich in culture, even if it's Mormonism. Montana is famous for having no speed limit so you can drive the hell out of Montana. Montana's better off being East Idaho or West Dakota.

noone mentioned japs. i grew up on european cartoons, and usually didn't even know where they are from, because miraculously none found it necessary to be in your face about it's origin. some like Totally Spies even had the show take place in USA just because.

>pic related is similar to spaghetti junction near Atlanta (I know it's just a cartoonish exaggeration of a highway, but still)
it's a canadian cartoon, why the frick are you even assuming it takes place in USA at all?
Because they make fun of Canadians (i.e. not them) with the Canadian Squirt Gun.
I think there was also an episode that was based around Thanksgiving.
Canada has their own Thanksgiving that's basically the same as the US one and exists for broadly the same reason, it's just in October
Can peaches even grow in Canada
That skyline is clearly Toronto.

Many times creators set their works in the area where they grew up. Most cartoon creators are from the west coast or New England. You'd think there'd be more in Georigia given that SCAD is located there, but outside of Squidbillies, which is set in Georgia more as part of the joke than anything, I can't think of any
Georgia really doesn't have any of their own culture TO make any stories about it.

I always thought Kim Possible was in california, but I guess it makes sense her parents were californians at the spearhead of the invasion.
Also beavis and butthead and daria are in texas too.
It's in Colorado, but its meant to be an everytown like most of these shows.

I should really try and finish my Cinemaphile atlas of the United States I started working on, but going through the entirety of all comics and cartoons to catalogue everything is... well, it's a lot.
just post another thread and other anons will practically do it for you
Is there a more up to date map of this? A variant, possibly?
Add KND to Virginia
I always figured KND was set in Ohio. I think it was end of Operation Z.E.R.O where the shot zooms out from the Sector V treehouse out to space and as it does so it's shown to be near the coast of Lake Erie in the Cleveland area. I haven't seen it in ages so my memory might be fuzzy but that sticks in my head for whatever reason.
It's essentially "What if Seattle was New York?"
I think that map is just showing what the most popular team in each county is. If you look at Chicago you'll notice that there's no county where the White Sox are more popular than the Cubs (much like with the Angels/Dodgers situation, who can blame them). MLB should force the sale of the Angels anyways; how do you have two of the best players in the world and not get anywhere close to even sniffing the playoffs for that long?
I heard a theory that Sector V in KND is supposed to stand for Virginia. Given that they're numbered 1-5, I can see them the sector nearest DC. Arlington or Langley or somewhere
Hapa bratsex
Johnny Test is definitely American.
Area 51 and the CIA are recurring elements.
They always talk about American Presidents and folklore not Canadian.
Jamestown
Bill the Cat is from Iowa
>Molly is that close to me.
Time to correct that little bawd. Anons, who wants to cross country road trip to see every character's homes?
I want to "visit" Libby
Do Americans really throw balls at each other for fun?
yeah
They do, Americans are obsessed with sportsball, but that's the whole world really. Normalgaggots everywhere will reject you if they become aware of how little you care about sportsball.
Yeah, then why is Dodgeball the only sport consistently shown in every other show and animated movie?
I once did a sport and I permanently crippled both hands and my left foot. Now I just sit around drinking and smoking, much healthier.
It's actually because you're a weirdo who calls it "Sportsball"
>Ducktales 2017 instead regular Duck comics characters version
Cringe! By the way, Duckburg doesn't have to be exactly in California, there are many indications from different authors that it can be in other places in America, and in European comics, Duckburg is like one of the European cities.
Go. Away.
>Go. Away.
Ok, Disney bot! Be mad! BOYCOTT DISNEY!

It's almost like people tend to live near water.
I mean Hank and friends live in Nevada but pretty much everyone dies in Madness Combat so maybe the whole living thing doesn't count.

Tell me burgers,are Great Lakes states(Illinois,Ohio,Michigan,Wisconsin,etc...) considered flyovers or are there enough important cities to put them on part with California/New York ?
>burgers
How bout go frick yourself, c**t?
you're on Cinemaphile remember ? A little banter shouldn't upset you so much. I call myself a yuropoor or a froggay from time to time as do everybody else
Anyway as for the question I've asked I'm genuinely curious to hear the answer
I'm not beheld to rude c**ts like an uncivilized third-worlder, so I'll say again:
Go frick yourself, c**t.
If it's not Chicago or Detroit, it's typically considered the middle of nowhere.
>t. Chicagoland burger
thanks for the answer based burgerbro and congrats for not going on a hissy b***hing like
Based Molly McGee Midwestern rep
I'm honestly surprised by the lack of Chicago stuff
I've read through the entire run of Dick Tracy and with the exception of one latter strip writer stupidly ONCE mentioning Chicago by name it's generally accepted that "Dick Tracy's City" (as it's always referred to) is in fact the Windy City, just one that never really left 1949 in terms of its architecture or ethnic makeup.
That being said it's kind of stupid popular media doesn't set itself in the actual location.
The "volcanic fields of Arizona" are five miles north of Flagstaff on the way to one of the historic pueblos. This just gets funnier and funnier.
Recently Greg Land did an X-Men issue set right here where the backdrop for a fight scene is the San Francisco Peaks, and the most notorious tracer in the industry did not use any references for them. This is exactly the situation where any sane artist would trace and he couldn't be bothered to do a Google image search (none of those images are copyrighted).
Ugh, this means the vast majority of cartoonists are liberals. I think I'm gonna kill myself!
I really want to live in Boulder Colorado, Hot white women and supposedly really peaceful. Texas is kind of a dump and has really bad areas
Yeah they have a lot of immigrants unfortunately
>big cities are shit my state's better
>okay I'll move to your state
>NO FRICK OFF WE'RE FULL
Big cities are always hellscapes by definition; the American dream was to be a homesteader and you only temporarily lived or worked in a city until you saved enough money to move out of it.
Apparently Californians on average are as dumb as southerners. All those tech companies have to import people from other states to function
Most Americans are as dumb as southerners.
thank god we're full frick off
Goofy is in Ohio? I also thought Gumball was British or something.
There's nothing in Gumball that implies he's British.
it's a british show but set in america
In the most direct sense Gumball is a show about failed cartoon characters attending remedial "learn to be funny" school, which is why all the characters are different styles. It's the original pitch that CN responded to with "that's depressing; keep the school setting and the style diversity but don't mention the premise openly"
So in that sense California isn't out of place for a story ABOUT cartoon characters.
Stay upset Jeeter, those possums ain't gonna hunt themselves
Why do Americans always make their cartoon characters look so unappealing?
What do they have against shading and perspective?
Although this is a meme question, I'll bite. It's to save on production costs for animating scenes otherwise they'll go the opposite route and make it into souless CGI shit like Clone Wars. The style is because other popular shows are also in that style so they imitate it and think their show will also be as popular because it looks the same.

Bullshit
Florida deserves better than Ace Ventura.
Seriously, with how huge Florida is by population, how infamous it is nationally for the wacky headlines that come from it, and how popular it is globally as a vacation destination, how the frick are there no cartoons set in Florida? But noooo, we gotta have a ten millionth cartoon set in California or New York.
don't forget that disney had a studio there
It deserves nothing.
>how the frick are there no cartoons set in Florida?
Floridia is a living cartoon. It has wildlife indigenous to the entire area, it has a reporting system which requires disclosing of "Floridia Man's" exploits, and their current governor is so cartoonishly evil that he's bringing everyone around him down because he couldn't be considered a serious contender for higher office.
>no cartoons in Floridia
There was the Ace Ventura cartoon, but I remember him being such a globetrotting super dick that the show barely took place in Floridia anyway.
If I had to guess, it's because Florida's population isn't homegrown. The majority of people who live there were born and raised elsewhere.
Got a possible hit with Tram Galaxy. Never knew where it was supposed to be set but I just finally finished it and the final episode shows it somewhere in the northeast gulf coast, either the Florida panhandle, Mississippi or Alabama. I could see them setting it in Louisiana because France and Canada are involved but is seems to be to the right of it. if it is, at 52 episodes that would put it over AV.
>Canada
Scratch that. I keep thinking this has the same production split as Martin Mystery. It's french/italian/american.
Yes we all agree we should abolish the electoral college
Ok, redditor
We should expand the Electoral College to a state level
Pitch me an idea for a cartoon set in Florida
a group of animals native to the everglades go on adventures in miami
Fancy Nancy is set in Ohio
Is there a map of dc/marvel characters?
There's a few for DC. With Marvel all you need is a picture of New York lmao
whoops, was meant to be a reply to
I still don't buy that Hey Arnold is supposed to be in Washington. It's obviously meant to be a new york model.
American city dwellers are basically in a whole ass other country at this point. You have to realize that other than some basic cultural commonalities, America is a very very diverse place depending on where you are. North and South, East and West, Urban, Suburban and rural, and that’s just the whites. When people say >Americans 9/10 times they’re talking about one kind of American, as separate from the rest of us as you are from your neighboring countries.
We aren’t all cowboys, but those guys do exist. We have the meth-head trailer park boys, but they are only a tiny sliver. Californian blue haired limp-wristers are around, but if you live in another state you rarely see them. America is BIG.
As a suburban floridian, the cartoon that spoke to my experience the most growing up was actually Ed Edd n Eddy, even though it was Canadian.
Only ever seen some bits of SU over the years but that show always felt Californian or Portland as frick. Surprised its actually Jersey somehow. Everything there is gay West Coast to the max
