Star Vs
Rick and Morty
>Star Vs
Fricking this.
Great season 1, season 2 had a red flag, season 3 was a shitshow and I'll probably never get around to watching season 4.
I can't believe Star Vs got so fricking awful that people convinced themselves that season 1 was amazing
Was Season 1 where Hekapoo was introduced?
Or was that Season 2?
Season 2
First 3 episodes: Kino and what we wanted after over a decade of waiting.
Everything after but before the final episode: Some good stuff, but not that great.
Final Episode: At best it should have been 44 minutes to give better closure to the Future and to Jack, needed a video game to give its main character a happy ending.
It wasn't amazing but it at least had some amount of cohesion to it compared to 3 and 4.
Season 1 knew what it was and didn't bite off more than it could chew in politics. The first 7 or so episodes and Pony head really detract from season 1, but it's otherwise very fun.
I don't know. Season 1 was really pretty solid. Just Star learning Earth and fricking up her school with magic. No magic council Gmae of Thrones autism. Not really much Ponyhead either, she was dragged off to St. Olga's after the first episode she was in (its after she came back she became a real annoyance). There was actual fights and magic. Also, the first studio to do SvTFOE animation was leagues better than anyone else.
If anything season 2 needs a second look. Outside of the lore episodes and cuck memes, there were a lot of bad and pointless CotD plots.
Finally someone who gets it. The episodes that were animated by Mercury Filmworks had some really smooth animation and were very expressive compared to the likes of Sugarcube and Rough Draft Korea. Such a shame really because the animation style of s1 really did fit Star personality very well because of how energetic it was. The switch from Mercury to Tooncity was a downgrade but they still tried to make the animation expressive despite being cheaper and they could still actually afford action scenes. This is what fight scenes used to look like in s1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DvLyQhDgA8&t
and this is what they looked like in s2 and beyond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j-hGYofYRg (sorry for the low quality, I couldnt find better)
It's fricking night and day
Season 1 was promising. Season 2 was good. 3 and 4 were the weakest by far, with the final arc being practically unwatchable.
Reminder that Nefcy set it up so that Star killed more people than, oh, just about any other villain in Disney history, together with setting up a collapse of Earth.
And didn't even have the decency to at least make it so Ponyhead also died.
have lurked in Cinemaphile long before Star Vs existed, I was there through it all, and in the end, it turns out it was true, the show wasn't bad or had bad writing, it was all about the marco self-inserters getting angry because their "le thicc skatergurl waifu" was written off the show and turned into a literal taco munching lesbian. The hundreds of Star-hate, Starcuck, and Jarco threads spawned during the run and the constant spamming of Jackie threads long after the show ended are a clear indicator of this.
I mean I did want literally anyone other than the sticc idiot who just would not shut the hell up about how Eclipse deserved to have the throne or whatever, but she did actually, literally kill people, dude.
We know the spells were people, we had an episode focused on just that.
yes...and? what if the magic people did deserve to be genocided?
True, they did help Star reach her goals and did their best to keep her safe.
Helping and protecting a genociding psycho is grounds for being killed.
Well if we're just repeating things.
>I mean I did want literally anyone other than the sticc idiot who just would not shut the hell up about how Eclipse deserved to have the throne or whatever, but she did actually, literally kill people, dude.
>We know the spells were people, we had an episode focused on just that.
The frick are you talking about?
Normally Cinemaphile judges finales way harshly than other places. People here were critical of many elements of Amphibia's recently, or SUF, Gravity Falls, etc... and yet on other more normie places they lap everything about those endings up and get offended if you point out inconsistencies.
And yet even those homosexuals hate SvTFOE's ending.
>And didn't even have the decency to at least make it so Ponyhead also died.
This was the most irredeemably heinous thing to come out of all of that.
Right? She's the fricking worst but no, she gets to live while Hekapoo has to die?
It doesn't even make sense. You're telling me a flying unicorn head with sparkles coming out of her neck isn't magic based? Fricking bullshit
>anyone who hates crappy writing is a jackiegay!
I guess lots of people are jackieposters then...
/thread
Yeah, the lack of any point to any of the characters in terms of an arc of any kind completely fricked the show, even outside the ridiculous shipping disaster and bad plot.
It's like the characters are constantly resisting growth or development of any kind.
Star learns absolutely nothing and remains a reckless reformer with more power than sense and keeps stumbling through an escalating series of frick-ups.
Aside from her toxic relationship nonsense also coming back time and time again.
Marco doesn't seem to learn anything, either. He just gets bombarded with a parade of pussy, dresses as a princess, starts a revolution, becomes a mega-hunk on a flaming motorcycle horse thing, and... nothing. He's still Star's happy little footstool.
Like, you already had a guy forced to dress as a girl and suddenly becoming a super assertive leader. How the frick is that not the entire trajectory of this character now? Cross-dressing and rebellion.
May or may not turn out trans in the process. But this is challenging gender roles and doing something with Marco.
And Jackie... what even was anything about her? She's such a nothing of a character. Such a nothing they had to give her a foreign girlfriend to have done anything at all with her. And even then it's just to have her be in the show at all.
It's not /thread but it's definitely the most prominent examples.
This is actually more prevalent in live action shows than animated shows, because it's easier to get a live action show up and running without having a long term plan.
See also: Heroes, Lost
I'd say Korra fit this mold if you think that the collapse started happening in the middle of the first season (as a result of being stretched from a mini series into an ongoing in the middle of production).
I still think Korra would have been bad but at least it would have been focused.
Korra honestly did not need to suck as hard as it did even after being stretched out , though considering how messy production probably was the chances of it not sucking were likely low yeah.
Batman: The Animated Series
Steven Universe
Wouldn't it be a patchwork of vertical band stripes alternating between skilled sketch and child drawings to represent townie episodes vs lore episodes?
except season 1 townie episodes were actually kino
Because the series wasn't entirely lore-based yet, so they didn't feel horribly out of place unlike the latter ones.
Only in retrospect, back when they were airing people wanted more lore episodes
Wakfu
This. Holy shit this, you can even track how bad Wakfu becomes by the shrinking of Amalia's breasts.
I hate when this meme is used for genuine criticism. It leaves no room for discussion.
You hate it because it leaves no room for trolling and contrarian arguments, which is what people like you loves to do all the time.
>hurr everyone having a different opinion than me is a troll
Consider the following: I rarely think season 1 is the best season of a show. I usually see it as winding up. Much more often I find enjoying season 2 the most because by that point the show has usually figured out what it wants to be and is telling the story it wants to tell first and foremost. But that goes against the braindead normie rhetoric that "all things start good and become bad later on" that only exists because people hate nuance and like generalizing things.
>No argument, resorts to attacks as predicted
No wonder you seem to hate closed arguments so badly.
Boondocks and spongebob but with the horse more "finished" in 2 and 3.
Totally Spies. Season 5 was decent though.
Gravity Falls but two season crammed into Season Two.
Name a show that DIDN'T turn to shit after the 3rd season. I'll wait.
King of the Hill you pathetic fricking zoomer
The Simpsons
Kevin Spencer
Anon stop trying to make Kevin Spencer a thing no one cares
there he goes again, how many times are you going to post this?
you should know by now that I don't care about you not caring, stop wasting your time
How are there 8 seasons of that
Korra is an inversion of this, the 3rd season is argued to be the best season here.
True
Nah, he said AFTER the 3rd season, so it still fits. Cause I don't know about you, but s4 of Korra was nearly as bad as s2. Fricking giant mechs out of nowhere, I'm still annoyed.
S3>>S1>S4>>>>>S2
>the 3rd season is argued to be the best season here.
literally only because of the lesbians
Friendship is Magic was good until the 5th season
It was never good.
If we're going by the opinions of most bronies and the legendary meltdown on this board, it literally died at the end of season 2 with Twilight needlessly becoming both a princess and a different species, the alicorn. Then Season 3 introduced another unnecessary princess alicorn and kindom out of nowhere. The production value was still good, but the respect for any lore they set up was eradicated and destroyed most of the adult fandom.
>it literally died at the end of season 2 with Twilight needlessly becoming both a princess and a different species, the alicorn.
That happened at the end of S3 and they could have ended it with 65 episodes total for a syndicated run, but they got greedy with brony bucks.
I thought that was the end of season 3 but yeah I completely agree.
I lost all interest before they even introduced the next macguffin collectathon.
how could you be so wrong, it turned to shit after 3
Literally turned to shit in the 3rd season mate. It got hijacked
South Park
SG-1
Ben 10 Omniverse.
that was always kinda shit
American Dad
the venture bros
samurai jack
The last season of samurai jack was terrible and ended the show in the most disappointing manner possible.
The last season was fine until the final episode. I believe the last season was season 5, so the show became shit after the 4th season, not the 3rd.
The Clone Wars did the reverse and got good in S3.
regular show and the amazing world of gumball
Arthur
King of the Hill. Season 4 has some of the best episodes in the series as a matter of fact.
Korra. Seasons 3 and 4 were strongest by far.
The Simpsons was good in season one, hit it's stride in season two and didn't start turning to shit until season eight/nine at the absolute earliest.
She-Ra
Rick and Morty
Hey Arnold.
I'd say Boondocks but that was still pretty solid in season 3
They should've stopped permanantly after 3.
Fricking trainwreck.
Adventure Time
Rimba Racer
Came here to post this
It's literally unfinished, right?
No, it's just unreleased fully.
Surprised no one mentioned Voltron yet.
Every cartoon in the 2010s
Kipo and the age of wonderbeasts, tho it only had 3 seasons.
Young Justice but 3 is the shittier drawn one
Came to post these
One day I need to slog through Korra S2 to get to S3, didnt like 1's final act and wasn't really liking 2 so I dropped it halfway
Justice League also counts as long we consider Justice League Unlimited as season 03.
Rick and Morty
Voltron
Easily adventure time, don’t act like S1-5 was golden
Centaurworld
This fits Star Vs. to a fricking T
Adventure time, but S2 of that image lasts until S4 in the show.
Heroes
>be me
>browse Cinemaphile every fricking day and look for a star vs thread
>0 results
>then this thread shows up
>star vs
>fpbp
i literally browse the archive to see the threads the show release the last episode (5/19) and Cinemaphile was full spamming of Star back in that day
its a fact that it died hard during this time
i really liked 3rd season
spongebob
That's exactly Rick and Morty.
TOH but the opposite. It only good for drawing tail
Castlevania, except it goes from detailed to stick figure almost immediately.
Everything after season 1 was shit.
Bojack.
For as much as I love the episode The View from half way down, that whole last season was unnecessary.
Family Guy.
Even Seth said he wished it was done by season 7.
Young Justice
Good lord last season was kinda weak but this season theres so much meandering.
All of them, really
OP's favourite show.
Animaniacs
Young Justice
Voltron and it turned into insane scribblings in the end
Pretty much every TMNT series.
Most TMNT shows fall apart the second they defeat Shredder
American Dad
>American Dad
how can one person be this wrong
Do you seriously think American Dad got worse over time? It started out shit and got much better by around the 3rd/4th season
that's not true, the first seasons had soul and now it's unwatchable garbage
you're a dumb homosexual
wow what an amazing argument
what argument is there to be made against you being objectively moronic?
Has there ever been a show that does the opposite?
Adventure Time
Horse show. Oh, if only Faust didn't leave.
House of Cards probably
Not Cinemaphile; frick off.
Wrong board
Real life and the story of humanity.
But whatever. We’re going to erase that horse and make anime real via genetic modification.
Too many
Star vs is the first thing that came to my mind
Season 2 of Star >>> Season 1 of Star
Exciting adventures >>> pointless low-stakes fricking around with terrible pacing
adventure time
Impressive how many Star Vs posts are in here and how fast the threads die
