The reason why Freakazoid abandoned most of their characters and focused on half hour stories, as opposed to the sketch format, was because WB wanted to focus on more stories that made sense.

I didn't enjoy being blueballed by Huntsman as a kid so it might've been a good call
>we want john k to make us another ren and stimpy but we will forbid him from making ren and stimpy
I'm still mad
Nickelodeon is so hateable. I can't stand them.
>ruined
Focusing on Freakazoid was a good move though. Season 2 was better than season 1.
"Hello Lobey" alone was worth it. David Warner was a man of true love for acting no matter the context.
This. As much as I liked the random skit sequences, Season 2 was better overall.
>To sell merchandise
I don't remember ANY Freakazoid merchandise. Consumerism may have been on the rise in the 90s, but I feel like people really don't remember how tame it was compared to today.
>"Hello Lobey" alone was worth it. David Warner was a man of true love for acting no matter the context.
How is it i've forgotten so much of freakazoid but it's still instantly memorable when reminded of it and still so goddamn funny.
Why does a wacky random cartoon need to make sense?
To sell merchandise, kids doesn't like wacky for the sake of being wacky and needs a nice middle ground between telling a plot and zaniness.
>"Hateful fart cartoon"
how?
long story short a new director/executive hated the show because it was edgy and supposedly "harmed the image of the channel", and 'hateful fart cartoon' was what he called it when he was turning his shitfit into a public occurrence inside the studio.
What's interesting is that that executive was a former artist, so it's not like this was a vendetta by somebody who didn't get it.
He was right, this show is overrated.
Yet he didn't say overrated
"Hateful fart" is just such an odd descriptor for something
he still made his dumbass rant into a scene inside the show so he's still a ginormous gay
i'd imagine that probably came from the whole grossout bit CN was doing with characters like cheese or fred at the time combined with it being the edgiest show in the lineup i guess.
between the show literally having an episode mocking the whole 'executive decision to force in a character badly made to be marketable' and the intro of that one openly mocking the executives it was clear that no one that actually produced the show was happy with that
>he still made his dumbass rant into a scene inside the show so he's still a ginormous gay
inside the studio*
That's a moronic thing to say but that said executive also wrote literally the funniest joke I've ever seen in my life.
>2004 + 20
I hate getting old
This show failed due to focusing on being gay instead of telling good stories.
>complaining about gay shit while posting a comic about eda grooming luz which was the first thing people were expecting before the show came out
Which did happen, yes
Telling good stories is hard it's easier to be gay.
Gay is overrated and lowers your life expectancy.
Yeah if you use people's sexual preferences or identity as the story. It isn't interesting it's just jacking off the ego.
>gay
codeword for "worms host".
Who cares about a story for worms? Earthworm jim?
EAT DIRT!
the other brown teenage shows weren't gay and had terrible stories too
>open with eda stealing human artifacts to run an illicit magic store in a world of crazy shit while mentoring a young girl with no magic powers
>sudden hard turn into magic school teen drama bullshit.
It was a good show shitsney execs unjustly canned it due to internal bias
It sucked, dont kid yourself.
>le hecking dark horror comedy brah!!
>it's just steven universe with demons
That's just Vivslop
>Everyone cites the gayness for why it was dropped early
Was there anything to prove that?
Just the signature queer persecution complex.
DuckTales'17.
Animaniacs'2020.
Tiny Toons Looniversity.
oh boy, where to start..
anime?
cartoon Voltron
this shit took a legitimately great cartoon, best non-comic TMNT adaptation ever made, and turned it into a pile of shit
some executive listened to a powerpoint from some stupid marketer about how they need to pivot to a younger audience with a younger self insert
and dont even get me started on the TRON/cyber shredder bullshit the next seasons and also goth april
holy shit they cartoon got so fricked up later on it's amazing it's even the same product
it wasn't even DBZ vs. DBGT either, they were different seasons of the same fricking show
I thought it was because Insane in the Membrane spooked a few of the suits.
>Goth April
Please refrain from using terminology that may actually get me to check it out
tell me more about this goth april
Meh
I enjoyed rise better in contrast.
I think it was just seasonal roth..
The evil clone turtles were cool at least and gave Baxter Stockman somewhat of a happy ending after all his suffering, otherwise yeah massive donwgrade
this show was already declining. very rare season 6 of any show isn't shit
Planet Sheen
The pacing of season 1 was pretty poor, and that was purportedly due to a last minute edict to trim half-hour episodes to the 11-minute format.
>purportedly due to a last minute
That wasn't a rumor, he said it in an interview
We know that happened, we just can't say with absolute certainty that was the source of all problems. For example, no matter how much time they are allotted, Randy remains a shit character.
Strangled in the crib by Yidsney for the crime of taking attention away from Soi Wars dolls.
Voltron.
Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of issues that plagued that show, but everything went off the rails once the executives insisted that Shiro wasn't allowed to die and had to remain a part of the main cast.
The writers weren't skilled enough to handle that shift and they completely blanked on what to do next.
Least harmful meddling.
Which was stupid, because Freakazoid wasn't supposed to make sense.
IT'S IN THE BLESSED TITLES, YOU EXECUTIVE [multiple expletives describing their failure as upright ambulatory lifeforms]
The problem with Steven Spielberg produced shows is the sheer amount of empty suits who look to make a mark. Like Pinky and the Brain being ruined because not only did some executive not get comedy duos but felt this award winning critical darling of a show needed a child in it.
Gravity Falls
Heh so fricking true my guy. You are absolutely cool, these fricking low iq dummies simply dont get it like US.
You like to pretend people are interested in your opinions, I see
I don't care what you think of my opinion. I just want to say everything sucks because it'll make you seethe because that's the only thing that matters on the internet. Making other people angry because I said a thing. Frick creativity.
