Big Picture Show was kino.
I'm talking about how each individual episode ends in an unsatisfying manner
>Ed, Edd, n' Eddy
>Downer ending
I wouldn't exactly say that the finale had a "downer ending", tbh.
This
OP is referring to the individual episodes
Downer endings were in EEnE's DNA. Foster's only had like 4 really bad episodes. CatDog always pissed me off. Billy and Mandy was too edgy for happy endings.
Which were the bad episodes of Foster? I'm assuming Bendy was one of them.
>Bendy
>Fosters Go to Europe
>Fosters Home for Make em up Pals
>Pranks For Nothing
Was Cheese-a-Go-Go one of those because IMO it was
Craig, pls.
I never thought of EEnE's endings as being real downers, because they normally end with wacky slapstick and don't really let you feel bad for the characters that more often than not deserved their bad endings.
Forgot Robot Jones
I forgot about him. I wonder whatever happened to him...
Foster's writers realized they made bad episodes and apologized. Danny Antonucci said If It Smells Like An Ed is his favorite episode. It depends on the individual if cruelty is funny or not.
>Foster's writers realized they made bad episodes and apologized.
And they kept on making bad episodes.
That's like making an apology for doing meth only to reach out for a glass pipe moments later.
EEnE and Grim worked because they were cynical shows with loser protagonist. Either way both had satisfying endings to their series, especially Big Picture Show.
CatDog was also cynical but it just wasn't funny nor did you really empathize with the brothers. It was like a kid friendly version of Duckman but worse.
I do not know what Craig was thinking with the tonal shift of Foster's. It was weird and out of place. Not an awful show but it felt like a diffrent show wearing the skin of Foster's at times.
>Bloo was never malicious
There was a whole episode where he tried to murder Mac.
>Bloo was never malicious
He made Duckman look like a wellspring of empathy and helpfulness by stark contrast alone.
Even as a kid it always weirded me out when Fosters got randomly meanspirited(for lack of a better word I know it’s a meme). I loved Billy and Mandy and EENE so it wasn’t the humor itself, just the total whiplash. Show has such a warm and wholesome vibe, then the rare bit of cynicism hits like a truck.
And as the show went on, Bloo got worse to the point it was baffling Mac or anyone else wouldn't want him adopted and gone.
Well who would want to adopt someone so awful? Also, obligatory "TERRANCE DID NOTHING WRONG" since Bloo was so terrible in the end
>The Four Horsemen of Hateful Fart Cartoons
FTFY
>No Dexter's Lab
It was like Genndy had a hard-on for humiliating Dexter
Humiliating Dexter was funny though because you know he was a prick
But he's supposed to be a boy genius. He should be too smart to be humiliated.
Nerds are geniuses and they are the most humiliated group of people. People overrate the concept of smartness. Smart people can lose a lot.
The big thing with Ed Edd and Eddy is that, unless you watch certain episodes without the context of the rest of the series, you know that EVERYONE in the show is a piece of shit. Some are just slightly less shitty than others.
Millennials be like
>I only recognize CatDog. That was a good show! The others were after my time tho.
Invader ZIM was also full of downer endings
>Billy and Mandy
>Invader Zim
>Psychonauts
>Helluva Boss
What's the name for this aesthetic of media that Richard Horvitz keeps getting cast in?
Edgy/hot topic cartoony toons??
Only fosters home and cat dog are truly bad for this
Are there any episodes where CatDog won, besides the sumo one?
The episode where they weren't allowed to eat at a Mexican restaurant run by the green corpo bunny
Nobody really complained about Billy and Mandy though because the appeal and charm of the show comes from them being really shitty to Grim and each other.
Wait how did these shows end?
He’s talking about how every episode always ended with the protagonists losing/befalling some horrible misfortune.
The one time Eddy just told the Kankers to frick off just so they could have a happy ending for once is one of my favorite scenes in the show.

I'd say Hey Arnold belongs in place of at least TGAOBAM
Hey Arnold endings were generally not particular downers, with the exception of iggy betrays arnold, it was rare though
I feel like Cheese a Go Go and the Camp Lazlo episode with the Squirrel Scouts of these are mentionable because someone probably has a fetish for Patsy an having allergic reaction and Frankie's short-lived descent into madness. I'd mention part in the EEnE ep where they left Nazz tied up but that already got covered in the most recent Checkered Past thread.
