It got too real for adult swim.
Nobody watched it. Even a few years ago when I tried to start discussions about it on Cinemaphile barely anyone replied. Only very recently did the YouTube algorithm bless it and give it some attention.
You're very wrong. I only discovered this show like 15 years ago on this board. Quit projecting your own algorithm onto us
People don't talk about it because it's good. That's the problem with Cinemaphile. Discussions only last if we hate it.
Nice zoomer history revisionism. Next you're going to say no one on Cinemaphile knew who Emily Youcis was until tiktok's algorithm randomly started getting kids into alfred alfer
It's weird people act like this show was a goddamn masterpiece when it has some of the most goofy and blatantly lame anti- religion storylines with no subtlety or nuance. You all seem to forget episodes where Morel literally impregnates the entire town so he didn't waste his seed. A couple good episodes way too late to make a difference does not a masterpiece make.
>the most devout and good Christian gets the best ending
It was not a criticism of faith, it was a criticism of fundamentalism and misuse and abuse of the power religion can have.
>Hur dur you're just an offended Christian.
Wow homosexuals way to not read my entire post I honestly considered leaving the "anti-christian" portion out of my statement because morons like you would think I'm some hardcore Christian for merely calling out the lack of nuance. The point is that Morel Orel was a stupid shitty comedy with Mr Pickles level writing and edginess and only became something good in the last season when it decided to actually do something worthwhile with a more dramatic and serious tone. Its why no one discusses the First Season because it is absolute Trash. You can't just disregard that season either as it completely hinders the later seasons impact because of how over the top and silly it is by comparison. Morel Orel is literally two completely different shows stitched together and it shows. It's not a masterpiece in anyway. It is a very flawed show that would have benefitted from just taking the serious tone immediately and not masquerading as a parody of Davy and Goliath for edgelords.
ok. Go back to church, christ-tard
way to completely miss the fricking point, dipshit.
Do you also think Dungeons & Dragons is satanic?
this, when I watched the show in full it became very obvious that it was the third season that left the strongest impression on people. It worked great as something holding a mirror up to the show’s status quo, but it also meant the those first two seasons had to be weaker quality-wise for the third to have worked so well.
It had a really slow start. The first several episodes were kind of a facile 1950's leave it to beaver meets the real world which was funny for the commercials this concept came from, but wore itself out pretty quickly in the context of a show.
It did eventually get real and was able to strike a really delicate balance between absurd humor, socio-political critique, and real-ass dramatic/heartwarming moments, but by that point I think a lot of people had already mentally compartmentalized the show as being what it started out as and they just weren't watching.
Aside from that, there was a lot of pressure from religious morons like who see facets of religious people being portrayed in non-positive contexts, and they freak out because they're too stupid to understand the nuance of the message. At it's heart, Morel Orel wasn't a critique on religion at all, but commentary on how facets of religion are used by manipulative and often flawed people to advance a personal non-religious agenda. A more receptive mind might see that the message of the show is that God is everywhere (including the seedy places that are often shunned by hypocritical dogmatic morons).
Morel Orel was a slow burn, but it had to be that way. Had they jumped into the real shit right away it would have felt preachy. This goes to show that sometimes shows really *need* time to set up back story, history, and expectations, so all of that can be manipulated later on. Unfortunately in the age where things need to be pulling in spongebob numbers from go or they will get cancelled and vaulted forever, this sort of patient storytelling is an underappreciated art.

Christoids arent able to understand this and will take anything that has christian symbols and doesn't portray them in a 100% positive light as satanism and an attack on their belief
I really don't know why they have this weird persecution fetish
Theyvliterally were doing it since they were all israelites, while romans persecute them they will persecute gnosticists
>I really don't know why they have this weird persecution fetish
I'm starting to realize that's not unique to any one group. These days it feels like everyone wants to be a victim and look to cartoons, jokes and satire for proof of their oppression, even including people who rail against that very mentality.
It's half "People who were oppressed have improved their lot by agitating over it, so if I decide I'm being oppressed I can improve my social standing too!" and half "These formerly-oppressed frickers are cutting themselves a bigger piece of the pie leaving fewer perks for me, help I'm being oppressed!", with people leaning one way or the other depending on their favourite flavour of sociopolitical ice cream.
A lot of Christian religion is based on suffering through adversity. Christians pretend to be prosecute because their faith says that's how they get closer to christ. Mother Teresa was objectively a horrible person who would go out of her way to cause her patients to suffer because she believed it was how they got closer to god.
>claims Christians have a persecution fetish
>First word typed is an insult against Christians
The ironing is delicious.
Persecution is not the same as someone calling you a mean word on the playground
Shut up homosexual. You've already exposed yourself as a moron. Nobody cares about what you want to spew from your cum filled mouth.
OKAY fine you can have a turn on the teeter totter
Not only this, but [as] screwed it over from day one by airing the Christmas special first and fricking up the entire flow and tone the series wanted to build towards. And them being unwilling to commit to drama.
>And them being unwilling to commit to drama.
This strikes at the heart of the problem with animation for adults. We're stuck with "le edgy rape joke" or "haha, muh dick", but there are so many more facets to adult entertainment that are being untapped. Why can't we get mind-fricky sci-fi, or drama, or psychological thrillers. We're stuck with either stoner humor or the sitcom format.
South Park and its consequences, etc. Not only that, but when someone just hears the word 'animation', they either think of baby shit or just South Park. Hell, maybe Rick and Morty instead. Emotional nuance is only allowed for live-action television and films, and it's bullshit.
Point is, Moral Orel deserved better, and could've set a high standard and precedent for animation going forward. Maybe, who knows.
Blame shitty executives who don't want to take any risks
>You all seem to forget episodes where Morel literally impregnates the entire town so he didn't waste his seed.
you're saying this like it isn't funny as frick
Why would I ever give up episodes like turn the other cheek and the figurelli episode? The show was a good comedy that became a better drama
>You all seem to forget episodes where Morel literally impregnates the entire town so he didn't waste his seed
That's what makes it good. It can combine the most absurd situations and the most real ones seamlessly. I've never seen anything else like it.
Because all shows get cancelled.
based on what?
Money
They got told to make it darker, they made it pitch black, then they cancelled it.
Why didn't she tell her half-brother that his mom was alive? She even lied to Bendy when she called asking where her babydaddy/pedo rapist was, taking away her chance to watch the play and son in person.
Bendy was literally moronic. I don't think it was excusable, but it's easy to see why she cut her out
distance her half-brother from the shame and pain of his the events which lead to his birth and maybe help him towards a better life
>the legitimately autistic town cum-dumpster and implicated to be molested nurse is your mom
>your dad at best took advantage of her while in his old age
>your sister was maybe in her early teens during time period of your conception
Not really an untempered reaction on her part, If I was the sister, I would have grabbed the kid and left, Moralton is a cesspool
Bendy does get closer to her son and his life more as revealed in the script for one of the unmade episodes.
She talks about it to Reverend Putty in the Repression booth. Then they end up having sex and the episode is about Putty pining for a relationship and being lifted from material hedonism by his faith.
idk you'd have to ask lazzo why he canceled frisky dingo
because Adult Swim wanted a shitty "Lol Christians are so stupid" show and when they got something with nuance, depth, and hope their irony poisoned chodes retreated into their bodies
>Lol Christians are so stupid
That's a problem cause?
I never said that was a problem, just that Moral Orel isn't one.
Have you guys grew up like Moral?
Because Mike Lazzo is a b***h-ass pussy.
Out of all the shitty shows being rebooted just to gain a few bucks by palpitating people’s nostalgia receptors, this show really does deserve to be picked up again. It was actually going somewhere, it had plans for expansion and its characters, a new fourth season would help bring that into fruition. But of course, it never will be. Because doing so wouldn’t be guaranteed to reap nostalgiabucks. Game over.
Dino even said he doesn't want to do it anymore, which is depressing.
Why?
Because getting punished for doing your job kills your enthusiasm for it?
He says the show "speaks for itself".
We already know how it ends, I don't care that much about Orel's goth face or Clay's affair with Censordoll
I like the way it wrapped up personally. I don't think we need more. I would have enjoyed more if it existed already, but it doesn't feel necessary to make anything beyond the finale we got.
More essentially did exist already. There are multiple planned plot points that were never allowed to come to fruition. There’s a full unanimated script and an extra episode made with little budget clay models of the characters
first season was ass, second season was pretty good, and season 3 was a masterpiece.
Because AS told them to make the show darker and they made the show darker.
Because a show that attempts to delve into the complexity's of a women who was raped and her conflicting feelings on the matter is too mature for todays televisions viewers, let alone those of the 2000s
>le… CHRISTIANITY BAD
Wow so revolutionary! I wonder when there will be a show about the bad in Judaism and Islam. Can’t wait!
Very surface level take on the theme of the show
Oh please, atheist. Of course this show is an automatic 10/10 for you. It doesnt matter how simple the message is as long as it denounces Christians and Christianity.
When does it do that? There is one episode that is actually just LOL CHRISTIANS but I know you don't know which it is.
The Christmas episode.
Doesn’t matter. Other religions exist and yet you atheists are silent about them and yet revel in hating Christianity because your family sent you to Sunday school.
Don’t try and lie about your religion, atheist. And if you’re aren’t atheist, you’re one of the other two Abrahamic religions. Less likely to be an actual Buddhist or Hindu
The correct answer is the episode with the missing link
You're assuming a lot of things from a 7 word post
I think he's starting a fight for fun
The final episode of the show depicts the main character growing up with a happy family and remaining a Christian.
You aren't even a Christian you're a homosexual contrarian who only got into it because you hate trannies.
chanology is on the phone & they're asking for you
>christians are the sweeping majority of religious people in the west
>(You) watch media made in the west
it's a fricking mystery
It is given the push for diversity and inclusion conveniently leaves them out
we know by "diversity" they mean "freak show". muslims and israelites are enough of an oddity that they can serve as the posterchildren for The Other, meanwhile most people have first-hand experience with christians and so have a much harder time idealizing them the way that they idealize foreigners
I thought it was all part of our israeli-led conspiracy to double-tap jesus by outbreeding you, did I miss a memo?
