On the plus side, I just noticed Thomas was at the wedding in disguise. Neat.
How do you end up NOT being the worst guy in the room when you're wearing Groucho glasses to a wedding and literal fricking Death is in the opposite row?
At that point in the show and even before, RS was pumpping these love drama eps that nobody gave a shit about, it underveloped mordecai into being likeable to being insufferable, they tried to fix this with rigby, but his development got retconned or flanderized at s8 making his arc pointless, RS became shit throughout its runtine, when they started doing the love drama
Mordecai ruins muscleman's wedding by standing up and saying that he hates his girlfriend completely out of nowhere. Relationshit was always the worst part of Regular Show but Mordecai dating CJ was much better than him simping for what's her face. But the writers wanted to reset the status quo so all of a sudden Mordecai is unhappy with his girlfriend and develops autism simultaneously.
CJ was generally a shit character who somehow develops overtime in that said season learned that her catastrophic outburst was actually killing everyone around her, including Mordecai himself, than her early appearances. S6 was the moment that the show shat the bed very hard and it never recovered afterwards.
>rigby, but his development got retconned or flanderized at s8 making his arc pointless
S8 in general has an atrocious shit writing (aside from the finale) that they decided to end with a shitty space arc that made no sense and it's quite frankly that nobody gives a shit about it.
Essentially Mordecai spends most of the series simping over a girl that doesn't really care about him. Eventually she moves away and he starts dating a girl named CJ that he has a lot in common with. Margaret, the girl he originally simped for, ends up moving back. Mordecai then decides to dump his girlfriend CJ in front of everyone at his friend's wedding to announce that he still wants to frick Margaret.
After uncountable seasons of a love triangle and Mordo spilling his spaghetti, maturing, fricking up again and maturing some more he made the mother of all cringe in the middle of Muscleman wedding, he fricked up so bad he ended up alone and CJ walked out of the story never to be see again despite being an enjoyable character.
>rotten tomatoes >24 reviews
Just so you know, a fresh rating is like 61%, meaning a critic can say something sucks a lot and it won't count as a rotten rating unless they give it lower than a 7/10
Audience score is 67%, unless Im misunderstanding how the scoring works on rt that implies a generally favorable response doesn't it? So that and a good critical reception to me doesn't signify fan outrage.
When I watch shitty shows I don't go out of my way to review them, I just forget they exist

Oh. So we should just assume it wasn't well liked because despite the favorable reviews, you didn't like it and that means a silent majority of people didn't like it either. Sure. Ok. Reasonable. Smart even.
That one time Wonder Woman's new outfit looked less like a badass warrior princess and more like a 40 year old borrowing her daughter's clothes to go out and frick 20 year olds.
Thats a cool look tbh. Blends the idea of her being an otherworldly warrior goddess with her also having spent a significant period of time in our world. The cropped jacket helps emphasize her athleticism as well. She's maybe a little too waify to properly sell the badass warrior woman image but that's been a thing since before buffy. I'd say make her a bit stronger looking and maybe throw on some kind of armored thigh high, but what I'm seeing there is alright.

It's not bad, but you know what the problem is? It's too modern and casual for someone like Wonder Woman, but it'd work for one of them Wonder Girls. It looks like a Wonder Girl version of Superboy. Imagine Superman having a Superboy look as his default, it doesn't work, but it does for a sidekick/younger hero.
if it really was trying to bring back the 90s they would have mocked the shit out of ralph for being a homosexual the world was so much better when everyone was homophobic
What pissed me off was the Rocko movie was basically a rehash of another episode with a thousand-and-one references that felt pedantic and half-assed. Kind of funny how the title was >I Have No Son
The Invader Zim movie that came out in tangent blew it out of the fricking water. Rocko's movie was just a lazy project.
iirc didn't that happen cause one board scripter was so damn determined to make his ship happen inspite of the writers telling him it was a waste of time for an overstuffed episode he shoved it in last minute so it'd be animated?
Was the finale the moment the ship became official? I remember it being hinted at as early as WWM, and there were a frickton of episodes between that and the ending
But wouldn't that be incredibly sad? I mean, think about it. Going online and spending time and emotional energy posturing as an offended cartoon fan to virtue signal? I hope they at least watched it. Or maybe that's worse.
>entire point of the movie is "stop pining for shit you liked when you were young to come back, you won't like what they end up doing with it" >"Why did they make it like this? I didn't like it!"
I know the word "media literacy" has been memed into the ground at this point, but c'mon.
Seems a weird move to prove that point by shoving in a bunch of shit that the fans would hate for basically hijacking Rocko's story for Rachel, but I guess I can respect the hustle since well they already got their money what would they care what their fat old millennial audience thinks, yeah?
No, not really anon, I just heard other people than the ones you consulted saying they weren't fans of it. And like I said, I don't have to personally like something to respect what they do with it, since I don't own Rocko's Modern Life.
Oh. But I heard from people other than the ones you mentioned that they liked it. That plus the critical reception and general audience response to me indicates it did well, especially for a one off cartoon reboot. To me that doesn't spell outrage.
I don't think I was talking about outrage. I was talking about the idea of the show enforcing the theme of "Don't ask for nostalgiabait cause you'll be too old enough to enjoy it" by outright doing the same thing with their show via dropping Rocko's story of getting his show back on the air until the last second in favor of retreading the old story of Ed and his offspring's tattered relationship, just now Ralph is Rachel. Wasn't that the point?
>shoving in a bunch of shit that the fans would hate
Rocko was always a "cynical" show that embarrassed its main character. There had also already been a couple of "Fatheads" episodes where Ralph is the "primary" focus, which makes sense when they write a story about trying to get his show back on the air. You can seethe about "what the FANS wanted!", but it's as close to the original series as a reboot/revival/whatever you'd call it has been to its source material. You're just mad they made it about a troony.
Who's seething?

I thought you were defending the op's claim that it offended fans. If you just didn't like it personally but recognize it did decently in terms of reception then I've got nothing more to say, thats totally normal and taste is subjective.

Okay I don't say this lightly but dude you're coming off as generally moronic. We get it you're confident it didn't offend fans and want everyone to agree with you. Just drop it dude, you're getting nowhere.
>Doesn't look like fans disliked it though, it got a good reception
Are you the guy who thinks 67% on RT is a good store? And that's with a 20% bonus for having a troon in the product.
If it isn't a good score you'll have to explain why. I don't use rt. Does 67% not indicate a majority positive response?
Totally fair, I don't always respond specifically to the ops of these threads and that's not always apparent
It's partially me tbh I kind of bait and poke to be a dick, I could have been more attentive to what you were saying instead of playing a dumb game. Fwiw I thought it was only slightly better than ok, B- material. It's not something I go back and rewatch.

There is no universe in which turning the frogs gay made sense in the movie it was just added because they wanted to be progressive and because they are only capable of experiencing sexual pleasure by taking stuff away from men
funny enough the second season was a crapshow because some exec's wiggled themselves into the writing room, started shitting in the storyboard and genndy was all up for it.
>ship saga drawn out to 3 episodes when it could have easily been trimmed down to 2 or at least 2 1/2 >final confrontation is rushed as all hell as a result >to cap it off Spear's last moments arnt spent with Fang and her family which he helped protect and had become part off, it was getting his melted dick hopped by Mira as Fang walked away screaming
So much could have been done differently and been so much better. I will always be mad
Three birds with one stone; not only ruined it for people enjoying Jon and Damian, their adventures, and friendship but also for their shippers; and let's not forget: WRONG SUPERBOY! WRONG SUPERBOY!
Mao Mao getting canceled
Randy, the hell with Randy
It's funny how Rachel was a thing in the movie when Heffer brotter was already crossdressing. Nopkh
Huh. I guess Bighead really does HAVE NO SON.
One of the most indefensible scenes in cartoon history. What the FRICK were they thinking?
good on the writers for achieving that level of intentional cringe on a cartoon
On the plus side, I just noticed Thomas was at the wedding in disguise. Neat.
How do you end up NOT being the worst guy in the room when you're wearing Groucho glasses to a wedding and literal fricking Death is in the opposite row?
What a shitty cartoon alongside with adventure time and steven universe, truly Gumball was the only good cartoon in the 2010s
I dropped the series so hard here. Like was I supposed to? What the frick were they thinking?
I loved this scene. When else does Lisa get called out for being insufferable?
>When else does Lisa get called out for being insufferable?
Everyone is so angry at this and yet I never watched Regular Show. What's so horrifying about this exactly?

i never cared for CJ
I did, unlike Margaret she wasn't just the "unattainable girlfriend" she had a personality.

Was there really that much backlash?
There's a reason the term "flanderization" is named after him, anon.
>From now on I'm not going to shut my mouth
>Becomes a joke of himself to the point his name is synonym with a character being two dimensional
Looks like it was mostly received warmly.

Audience score is even less reliable, not that 67% is good even by RT's curve.
How is that less reliable? Why is that not considered good? Is there a reason a good critical and audience response would mean it outraged people?

NPC reviewers they praise what they are told to
troony aside how lazy was it for them to write the exact same episode with the exact same story arc as the original one?
I think Joe Murray did it as a frick you to fans begging for more Rocko, tbh. Has he even done any work for cartoons since Camp Lazlo?
I heard he was working on a new short film
He did Let’s go Luna
That one time Wonder Woman's new outfit looked less like a badass warrior princess and more like a 40 year old borrowing her daughter's clothes to go out and frick 20 year olds.
that's kind of hot

Rocko felt really out of character in this.

The entirely of this.
I liked it.
also this
I love the show was already cancelled when this came out.
i can still remember the seethe and cope in those threads
i was mad way before that point. You should've posted the guardian's broken shades
I hated Ashi once they forced her into a love interest rather than a daughter. I was glad she died.
Why would a MODERN THING upset fans of Rocko's MODERN Life?
because troonys are cancer and they ruined a return for this shit
iirc didn't that happen cause one board scripter was so damn determined to make his ship happen inspite of the writers telling him it was a waste of time for an overstuffed episode he shoved it in last minute so it'd be animated?
at the end, it makes finncels seething
I think you're thinking of Steven Universe, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Was the finale the moment the ship became official? I remember it being hinted at as early as WWM, and there were a frickton of episodes between that and the ending
if that's the case then is even more surprising, as it's pretty much the only thing people cared about the finale.
This only pissed off this board's Finncels and nobody else
At this point the show was spinning its wheels and felt miserable for the last 2 seasons, this was just the cherry on top.
chuds aren't fans
Can't gatekeep the fandom
gatekeepers are fat
Do you really think someone would pretend to be a fan of a cartoon just to get offended by it for political reasons?
Yes. We had absolutely no He-Man discussion, several weeks of performative wailing by the usual suspects, and are now back to no discussion.
But wouldn't that be incredibly sad? I mean, think about it. Going online and spending time and emotional energy posturing as an offended cartoon fan to virtue signal? I hope they at least watched it. Or maybe that's worse.

Don't forget the random English men episode
gadget got fly'd.jpg
Something must br wrong with me. None of this really pissed me off. It was more a dull acceptance
Rocko was always about "modern life" and what's his/her name was always about pissing off Ed so yeah I think him becoming trans made sense.

this was pure cancer that killed the series frick troonys and frick agenda pushers
