And then Golbez is brainwashing Kain and Yang at different points, too. Also Lugae brainwashing Edge's parents. It's just brainwashing all the way down.
It was cool in FF4 though.
Golbez and Cecil are both born with corrupted blood from the lunarians and only determination and abnegation could free Cecil from his shackles, whereas Golbez fell into his darkness and still found redemption at the very end.
Golbez & Kain were controlled by exploiting their weaknesses. Cecil also would've been if he allowed to incident at Mist to break him, but he fortunately remembered he had a spine and turned on Baron then & there.
Everyone else was just seemingly hypnotized while unconscious and smacking the shit out of them was enough to wake them up.
Baigan was probably killed & replaced, just like King Baron.
Jojo was always a piece of shit both before and after he gained super-intelligence. He conveniently forgot how much of a nuisance he actually was prior to, and took revenge because the professor was giving the girls more attention than he got. Like no shit Black person, all you did was break things and literally ape out all the time.
Confusing. The book that coined the phrase is both.
Also there's a book just like e-girlta where the genders are swapped and it's way, WAY more explicit and nobody ever talks about it.

There was another drug allegory episode where kids willingly beat up the PPG just to get their powers in small doses.

Can confirm. Used to work with disabled people.
Deaf were usually the worst to other coworkers, and non-disabled coworkers.
The few wheelchair c**ts I worked with had some deranged superiority complex shit that I could never wrap my head around. It lead to them refusing to take orders from supervisors and shift leads, and we basically couldn't do anything about it because they threatened to sue all the time.
PPG was mainly written by CraigMcracken, Genndy and Lauren Faust. All three of them enjoyed mean-spirited or sardonic humor. Also they are canonically 5-6 years old. They throw tantrums, take naps, cry and argue over menial bullshit, still believe in Santa and other stuff.
>All three of them enjoyed mean-spirited or sardonic humor.
It’s because of that that they created the most hated character in Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. Bendy was so despised by fans that he only appeared in one episode and never appeared or was ever even mentioned again.
One episode with it as the generic kid's show lesson to be nice to autists would be fine. Bearable. Not too much.
It's the fact that Cheese ended up being in half the fricking episodes after his introduction and contributed absolutely nothing to the show.

Reminds of how r/atheism bronies started sending death threats to Lauren over that episode where twilight is skeptic and pinkie pie is trying to convince her that her supernatural powers of precognitive perception and after it saves her life the episode basically ends with twilight admitting that yeah it exists and science can't explain it
Even though it wasn't meant to be a religious allegory
Maybe death threats is exaggeration, MAYBE. But they were not happy

The funny thing is that apparently the ending of the Rainbow the Clown episode was something that the writers didn't even like retroactively.
Which is silly cuz the clown deserves jailtime for effectively enslaving the entire city. It doesn't matter the circumstance, that crime is on his hands.
>Lauren disowned the Femme Fatale episode
Fricking why. It remains one of the most reasonable and nuanced takes on how females get treated in society. Dumb villain b***h thought she had a right to do heinous things just because she has a vegana.
>You now remember the episode where the professor switches bodies with Buttercup and Bubbles with the mayor.
This episode made me realize that they don't actually have fingers but Buttercup still couldn't pick up a phone.
Yeah. He was one of the few villains you could actually see as real threat because he was just fricking around most of the time but would eventually get evil as shit.
Same for the zombie magician.
Nope. The original short (Whoopass Stew) actually does straight up call him Satan but once it became The Powerpuff Girls Cartoon Network didn't let them call him that.
Satan/Lucifer is a being depicted as trying to lure people in with temptation.
Mojo Jojo is a science experiment gone wrong, monkeys as test subjects were a big thing.
Also does this mean the Ameba boys are Wops, Princess is white people, and the Rowdy Ruff boys are toxic masculinity?
nah? nah..
her main trait on the anime is that she is a dumb otaku and was very into guys, she is constantly horny for guys, specially from the tv show she watch, one episode where the girls exchange bodies, she was lusting over Butteecup's older brother.
Also the Latam dub had Sakura Kinomoto's VA for her and she had a lot of fun to show how horny Blossom was.
she was into any guy that was hot, there is an episode that ends with her forcing the other girls to watch recordings of the weather report because the guy on it was hot
they are three random girls "chosen" by the white Z rays

Another season but without all the filler and transformation sequences, even if it's only 12 episodes.
I like a lot of 90s/00s anime but rewatching it is painful when you pay attention to how many corners they cut to pad out runtimes. Shonen especially.
>Love makes the world go round >so let’s beat the shit out of this clown who was mind controlled to be a different person
What did the Powerpuff Girls mean by this?
He wasn't mind controlled. He was literally BLEACHED.
But to be fair, he also wasn't himself which made it fricked up when he was jailed for something beyond his control.
I still remember that one episode where Mojo Jojo made the evil male Powerpuffs who kicked the girls' asses, and then when they felt bad about losing the city gathered around them and thanked them for giving their all and fighting their hardest for their sake. I was surprised that they could lose at all, back when I was a kid.
He was more of a comedy relief villain, but there's an episode where the PPG run so fast that they time travel to a ruined future, showing them that if left unchecked, Him would just conquer the entire planet completely unopposed and even when the girls tried to fight him there, he'd just stand back like nothing had happened.
Did the remake just come and go. All I vaguely remember is some drama over some writer awkwardly inserting himself as Blossom's boyfriend and then nothing.
Christ I think PPGZ might actually get talked about more and that's without the e-girl-thirst being included. That's really gotta suck for the writers. what happened to the CW show I know that cursed thing was going to happen at some point
The only thing I remember about the remake was it looking like dogshit, the self-insert guy (which was "purportedly" a gag character created by the studio independently of him), and the fourth PPG.
Remake only. The original did have a fourth PPG that came out looking like Quasimodo, but she died at the end of her episode from being made incorrectly.
The remake was by far one of the worst cartoons I've had the disgrace of watching, horribly written and animated, one of the main writers self-inserting as Blossom's crush was just the cherry on top. I believe it only had one season? Maybe two, I also recall the supposed first PPG and older sister of the trio who appeared in like one or two episodes, but that's all I can remember.
PPGZ was just your run-of-the-mill inoffensive magical girl anime, a fun novelty but nothing special.
Just give it to me anon, how bad is it nowadays? I stopped watching cartoons years ago because I couldn't swallow how horrendous all of them had become, not only CN. Are they still spamming TTGo 12 hours a day?
Damn well at least it's not 6 hours of teen titans go. God damn I would feel sad if my favorite franchise wasn't already dead, buried and replaced with a bizarre doppelganger that actively mocks me for liking the original it replaced.
At least Gumball is pretty decent yeah? That's something. What the frick is a Craig of the Creek it sounds like a shitty CalArts ripoff of Edd Ed and Eddy.

Teen Titans Go is weird in that it alternates between having some ideas that would be really cool in a regular Teen Titans episode (Ravager showing up) or some episodes that can actually be somewhat funny (Blackfire framing Starfire for a crime and Starfire getting revenge on her afterwards), only for the rest to be actual dogshit where you have things like BB and Cyborg singing a song about pooping or the creators of the show showing up to eat sandwiches while shitting on detractors of the show.
I basically never watched a full episode ttg (it used to be on in the background cause my sister was still at that age) but I did watch the movie and that 200th episode special and they were both pretty fantastic.
And I've seen a few clips that people mention around here, notably one about them pranking robin about his parents being alive and another one where robin has a race against kid flash.

Why's he still called Robin, anyway? I thought the idea was that he needed to become a leader as Nightwing instead of a sidekick.

It's both sad and funny how most 90's and early 2000's cartoons would be considered "adult" cartoons like Rick & Morty if released nowadays, people just don't have the skin to take such jokes anymore.
It really doesn't make sense when kids don't know what it all means and only realizes it when they've grown older. You just end up inhibiting their knowledge and growth.

OK that's a lotta Gumball, especially on saturdays. When I watched CN back in the day it was like, tom and jerry, hong kong phooey, scooby doo, looney tunes and the banana splits. They didn't show the same cartoon for 4 hours straight.
It's better then ttg but goddamn the 5000th viewing the shit gets boring
Probably, I only watched through it once and I had a good time. I should probably watch it again, I was just looking through some episode synopses and remembered how fricking good some of it was.
>When I watched CN back in the day it was like, tom and jerry, hong kong phooey, scooby doo, looney tunes and the banana splits
Ah the early morning schedule if im remembering right, later on added their originals in the midday until toonami came in and those got moved into the evening
Yeah, banana splits was the last thing they showed for the day, and it was always disappointing to me because it wasn't a cartoon. To me, CN stopped airing as soon as banana splits came on.

Typically from memory they would do maybe 4 episodes back to back, i think if there was some new season or something theyd do a saturday of a 3-4 hour block, i vaguely recalls something like that for EE&E at least, but otherwise you got 1-2 episodes then it was on to the next thing
But this was back when they were churning cartoons out on the regular
Ms favorite episode was the one where they were trying to get their ball back from Mojo, the one wherr mojo was pardoned from to babysit them and they just ruthlessly tormented until he basically begged the police to arrest him again
My favorite episode is the one where the three girls keep wetting their bed the entire episode but it's revealed that Mojo Jojo was sneaking into tehir bedroom every single night and in secret and he was the one wetting their bed.
>that one episode where Dexter spoofs a classic anime
and by one I mean dozens. Going back I realize that half the Dexter's Lab episodes are anime/japanese movie parodies. Genndy was a massive weeb.
that episode gave me a boner also that one episode when Dee Dee became giant and started undressing Dexter also that one episode where Dexter had this little girl crush on him and there was a music bit
This shit right here.
I can trace my gentle giantess fetish to this very episode, especially the whole lovey dovey aspect of it.
Can I sue Cartoon Network for mental damages?
The final season was weird in a lot of ways. I feel like it'd be neat to have a Samurai Jack movie to cover Jack's culture shock over going back home, though. He's been in the future for 50 years, which is longer than he's been in the past. Seeing him have to get reacclimated to a world that no longer has the amenities he's used to could be interesting.
It was definitely rushed, it's well agreed that the first three episodes of the final season were some of the best in the entire series, but the final couple of episodes went too fast just to give it closure because they only had 10 episodes to work with. Didn't the most recent game rewrite the ending to a better one?
>Jack and Ashi go back in time >Aku jumps into the portal and makes Jack relive his greatest hits >Demongo actually does things multiple times instead of just being a cameo >Scaramouche also has a bit of an expanded role >Da Samoorai actually helps out fighting Aku in the final battle instead of retiring >Jack tries to talk down the Daughter of Aku, but it doesn't work >Jack is able to Talk no Jutsu Ashi at the end, but Aku appears out of nowhere and pushes her onto Jack's sword so he kills her >later, Aku puppets Ashi's corpse in front of him to mock him before turning her into her demon form to fight him >Jack defeats Aku and goes back in time >Ashi is there with Jack in the final scene from the show where he's under the tree

It's an absurd rewrite cuz Jack saving the world at personal cost is very on-brand. Giving him a no-strings happy ending simply isn't Samurai Jack.
Don't mind me, just posting the best era of CN's life. Yes, CN City was really fun, but this one just screamed the perfect blend of classic and new to me and I've never, ever gotten tired of that music. Leave this shit on as background noise constantly.
>because they only had 10 episodes to work with
That's 100% Genndy's fault, though. They straight up asked him how many episodes he wanted for a final season and the dumbass only went for 10. So not only did he kneecap himself, he wasted half of it on shit that wasn't necessary.

I would argue that Episodes 4 and 5 were alright, but bogged down by some bad decisions.
>Ashi's ladybug fixation that convinces her to side with Jack comes out of nowhere at the end instead of being something that was shown earlier >Jack immediately going to an hero after the kids seemingly die as a result of Ashi's actions, not his own
It gets even weirder when the furries living is enough to convince Jack that it's worth going on when you had picrel in Episode 1, which included children who died as a result of Jack's inaction.
I thought it was disappointing he didn't save the future
I know it's supposed to be a closed time loop story (which is a moronic idea) but it would have been nice to have an epilogue for all the characters he actually met on his journey instead of relegating them to nonexistence in favor of a world we only spent part of the pilot episode in.

nowhere near the level of ponies.
PPG aired before the internet was big, so while there were probably a few autists on usenet groups and forums lusting over kids, it wasn't significant.
Reminder that the Mongols conquered the largest land empire in history on the backs of ponies. They've killed 40% of the world's population using ponies.
Yeah, it was a pretty fun show. Shame about the fanbase, but the same thing happened with shit like Undertale so it's not terribly surprising. Simply unfortunate.
It's honestly impressive how she managed to change a B grade toys brand into such a hit, especially with men. How the frick did she do it? I still don't understand.
People need to remember outside of memes MLP aesthetically looks like the PPG/Dexter and Fosters. Both shows were at times carried by their writing and humor and aesthetic.
I have no problem with this because of GR15 successfully containing the horsefrickers.
An avalanche of top quality porn was made because of Lauren Faust, and that's a good thing.
FiM was good at brainwashing grown adults into thinking a neoliberal capitalist autocracy full of talking horses was a paradise. It's a false prophet followed by people who were never enlightened by Sonic.
Can't say I ever understood this line of reasoning. It may not have been what Lauren wanted but there was still fun to be had. The school is where it truly went to hell and I just stopped entirely instead of skipping episodes.
When I watch a movie it's because I like the director's other works or the star actor.
I don't care about their political views or their fake gender.
For actors it also just makes it better to not know his personal life and opinions as it can destroy the illusion of their acting.
As a kid in the early 00s I used to watch horror movies with my teenage sisters.
Now I have "dreams" which play horror movies out... but I'm the perpetrator.
It's kinda funny, they were more monstrous to me than the monsters in my dreams (and I used to literally lewd the monsters in my dreams).
I once fricked this girl thing in a dream like the Conjuring.
It was the most surreal lucid sex dream imaginable.

It was a really good movie, moreso for an origin story. And I just realized the PPG movie is to PPG what the first Spongebob movie was to Spongebob. S5-6 was a step below the first four, but at least it ended before it got really bad.
I just realized the Gen Z and Gen A dont have 1/10 as many of the good cartoons like the top image. All they have is TTG, Gumball, Steven Universe or Nu Spongebob. We really did have it good.
Maybe, but I didn't mind CN respecting the old cartoons by regularly showing them mixed in with their own programs.
Sure as hell beats 12 hour marathons of TTG five days out of the week.
Yeah, althouigh if you check their history a bit closer they had to create original cartoons because HB was sucking them dry from profits, so they, in a sense had to metaphorically kill the past by replacing them. Fun
Not just that, but the HB stuff was PART of CN in the early days, then another 7 or 8 years later, we'd get those commercials about CN being a company where Fred just went to work. Even got then current Fred to do lines and shit, it was fun times.
You could say that the HB/WB characters are cheating, but I always saw it as a nice way of mixing the old with the new. Even Nickelodeon couldn't hold a candle to the star power the top image had until Spongebob debuted and even then he was still a rookie compared to the Rugrats and Hey Arnold.

My bad, I didn't mean it in a "this is too childish for me" manner. Even as a kid I found one of the main characters insufferable. Grim was fine, Mandy was okay, but Billy was too off-putting for me. I agree completely with anon here
The episodes that were focused mainly on grim or mandy were decent from my memory, billy drags the show down most of the time and the gross humor didnt help much

Your liberals of the 90's are not the same liberals of today. What was edgy back then is the norm and degenerate today. What would have been a one off joke about a gay person would now be an entire persons personality with a whole episode dedicated with what flavor of wiener they like to suck on.

There's a YouTube video where they point out all the references of that episode and literally just about every line out of their mouths is either from a Beatles song or something they said.
Notice how we talk about late 90s and 2000s cartoons? That's because we grew up with them. You don't see Ganker talking with such passion about Adventure Time or *barf* Steven Universe.
Nostalgia is a factor but it doesn't change the fact that something like Hey Arnold is objectively better made and teaches children better morals than trash like St*ven Univ*rse
I'm an old man, but Adventure Time was really good until it wasn't anymore. Gravity Falls was also pretty good, although I'm not sure if it will survive a rewatch. And Gumball was fun. Every other show has been varying degrees of disappointment for me.
Adventure Time went to shit when they had Cinnamon Bun cuck him and the writers then took turns shitting on Finn over and over as hard as possible until nearly the end of the show. Ironically this happened after Rebecca Sugar, the Steven Universe b***h, left the show.
I see. I kind of skipped significant parts of AT near the end because the storylines didn't interest me anymore, but I remember the miniseries Islands and then Elements being a return to form, one last spark.
steven universe is a fun litmus test for how many surface level dorks don't "get it" and lombast it for not having enough action or the pudgy little dweeb steven's power pretty much being Talk No Jutsu
but it's also fun to play "spot where the fandom lost its fricking mind" as episodes go by, and it's a much better show now that there aren't insane waits between episodes
Off-topic Ganker is always the best version of Ganker because shitposters don't know how to properly approach and ruin threads right out of the gate. There's also no reason for shills, counter-shills, and marketers to post here.

TAKE ME FRICKING BACK
Cartoons were largely background noise for me but i largely stopped altogether around the time TTG started up, by that point cartoons were irredeemable trash to even have on in the background
Same, gave up on cartoons when flapjack came out. That was really when everything changed. Avatar and all the other nicktoons ended, to be replaced by the mighty b and fanboy and chum chum.
Everything on cartoon Network ended and they tried to do that live action stuff, only cartoons left were chowder and flapjack.
So basically cartoons were over for me at that point.
I eventually caved in and watched adventure time, in I think season 4. But stopped watching it in season 7 I think? Whatever the season with the meteor was.
And I did end up coming back and watched gravity falls, like half of regular show and also SU & up to season 4 of ponies

>you can't hate this guy who we built up to be hitler because he was actually le innocent

And then Golbez is brainwashing Kain and Yang at different points, too. Also Lugae brainwashing Edge's parents. It's just brainwashing all the way down.

he went to fight the real badguy with his uncle after being freed from mind control
It was cool in FF4 though.
Golbez and Cecil are both born with corrupted blood from the lunarians and only determination and abnegation could free Cecil from his shackles, whereas Golbez fell into his darkness and still found redemption at the very end.
How many times did they pull that shit off? Thrice? And there are people who unironically call it the best early FF.
Golbez & Kain were controlled by exploiting their weaknesses. Cecil also would've been if he allowed to incident at Mist to break him, but he fortunately remembered he had a spine and turned on Baron then & there.
Everyone else was just seemingly hypnotized while unconscious and smacking the shit out of them was enough to wake them up.
Baigan was probably killed & replaced, just like King Baron.
That ep was bullshit. I should have won
I agree you should have won anon
>kick their ass regardless
>I'm not evil the system made me evil!!
The moral was that if you let yourself be corrupted then you are still bad.
>posting Bubbles while saying that
How soon we forget.
Some magic chemical spilled on him in an accident. I don't see how that is anyone's fault.
I spill magic chemicals on me on the daily but I don't go on evil rampages.
You're not trying hard enough
what do you think those blackouts are bro
>Some magic chemical spilled on him in an accident.
he was fricking up shit because he was a shitass monkey, he got what he deserved
Jojo was always a piece of shit both before and after he gained super-intelligence. He conveniently forgot how much of a nuisance he actually was prior to, and took revenge because the professor was giving the girls more attention than he got. Like no shit Black person, all you did was break things and literally ape out all the time.
I'm talking about the clown
>I don't see how that is anyone's fault.
and people wonder why the Elites want to reset all cities. you are blind, anon. blind
why were the ppg such asshats in some episodes
They're children
out of 10
Yes
cum
You don't know the pain of trying to find good pictures of them that isn't either e-girl shit or bimbo garbage.
you can start by learning e-girl is the character type and e-girlcon is the lewd stuff
Confusing. The book that coined the phrase is both.
Also there's a book just like e-girlta where the genders are swapped and it's way, WAY more explicit and nobody ever talks about it.
aren't they kindergarteners
>that episode where they yelled at the mayor because Mojo Jojo stole their candy, beat Mojo Jojo into a pulp and the mayor still apologized and rewarded them with even more candy
It's worse than that.
>Mayor gives the girls candy for saving the day
>girls decide that they like getting candy
>decide to cut a deal with Mojo to break him out of jail to cause havoc so they can keep getting their fix for their "heroics"
>eventually, Mojo decides to frick with them by taking the candy
>they beat him within an inch of his life after yelling at the Mayor
>the Mayor rewards them with candy again anyway
I knew I was missing something that made me hate that episode so much.
That episode is literally one of the funniest episodes, the sweets were a drug allegory.
>You've been a bad monkey Mojo
> I know
There was another drug allegory episode where kids willingly beat up the PPG just to get their powers in small doses.
Wasn't one of those kids in a wheelchair? Kinda fricked up.
People in wheelchairs or the deaf are butthole. Not even bullshitting. The blind are usually the “humble” ones.
As someone working retail can confirm
>Have a card display at the end of an aisle
>It's slightly in the way
>homosexual in a wheel chair rams it and knocks everything over
>Threatens to sue because there wasn't enough space
>Can't kick them out of the store without getting fined
>People in wheelchairs or the deaf are butthole
Can confirm. Used to work with disabled people.
Deaf were usually the worst to other coworkers, and non-disabled coworkers.
The few wheelchair c**ts I worked with had some deranged superiority complex shit that I could never wrap my head around. It lead to them refusing to take orders from supervisors and shift leads, and we basically couldn't do anything about it because they threatened to sue all the time.
It was funny
PPG was mainly written by CraigMcracken, Genndy and Lauren Faust. All three of them enjoyed mean-spirited or sardonic humor. Also they are canonically 5-6 years old. They throw tantrums, take naps, cry and argue over menial bullshit, still believe in Santa and other stuff.
>All three of them enjoyed mean-spirited or sardonic humor.
It’s because of that that they created the most hated character in Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. Bendy was so despised by fans that he only appeared in one episode and never appeared or was ever even mentioned again.
I hated Cheese way more than I hated Bendy, annoying homosexual freak.
>Make an episode about being nice to autistic people
>Make the autist the mast infuriating, hateable thing imaginable
One episode with it as the generic kid's show lesson to be nice to autists would be fine. Bearable. Not too much.
It's the fact that Cheese ended up being in half the fricking episodes after his introduction and contributed absolutely nothing to the show.
What’s worse is the fanbase that Cheese attracted. Cheese appealed to the Invader Zim fanbase. In other words, he pandered to the “LOLSORANDUMB XD” leetspeak spewing morons.
Invader Zim would've had such an amazingly devoted fanbase had it come out now. It was ahead of its time.
Yes, we all watched that Tik Tok video, Jimmy
>still believe in Santa
Anon Santa actually exists in half these shows that doesn't count.
I remember that episode of Jimmy Neutron where Santa was real, and I was pissed because I was an atheist and looked up to Neutron.
lmao
Reminds of how r/atheism bronies started sending death threats to Lauren over that episode where twilight is skeptic and pinkie pie is trying to convince her that her supernatural powers of precognitive perception and after it saves her life the episode basically ends with twilight admitting that yeah it exists and science can't explain it
Even though it wasn't meant to be a religious allegory
Maybe death threats is exaggeration, MAYBE. But they were not happy
>radical atheists scoff and condescend to religious people
>get violently offended by anything that challenges their world view
Kek
You forgot the brony part, trad-chad-chan.
Yeah the brony part is definitely the defining factor in this equation
>universe where magic exists
>you yourself are capable, and quite skilled in using magic
>there isn't a rational explanation for this therefore it isn't real
I thought the purple horse was the smart one
It's DnD type magic though, a scientific discipline
>DnD type magic
>a scientific discipline
hahahaha
to make up for the episodes where people treat them like shit for no reason
They're kids. Thats what the show is about, what little kids would do if they had superpowers
The funny thing is that apparently the ending of the Rainbow the Clown episode was something that the writers didn't even like retroactively.
I thought Craig has a boner for Kafkaesque endings.
Which is silly cuz the clown deserves jailtime for effectively enslaving the entire city. It doesn't matter the circumstance, that crime is on his hands.
Lauren disowned the Femme Fatale episode, so who cares? Authors are dead
The point of that episode wasn't even to be anti-feminist, it was about her using feminism to justify her behavior.
>Lauren disowned the Femme Fatale episode
Fricking why. It remains one of the most reasonable and nuanced takes on how females get treated in society. Dumb villain b***h thought she had a right to do heinous things just because she has a vegana.
Dumb b***hes want the right to do heinous things because they have a vegana or paginis.
They're women
Children can be surprisingly cruel at times.
They're little kids with superpowers
Because it's funny.
They're kids and that was part of the humor is that they were so over the top brutal.
>why are the super powered toddlers buttholes
Gee I don’t know
I want to frick the PPGs
>Fingers
>Professor regrets trying to finger the girls.png
>You now remember the episode where the professor switches bodies with Buttercup and Bubbles with the mayor.
This episode made me realize that they don't actually have fingers but Buttercup still couldn't pick up a phone.
i really wanted to see at least three episodes of the live action CW show.
>not openworld AAA games
Well shit
I just wanted to see the pilot, but it was so shit it didn't even get to that point.
Maximilo
>transvestite Satan is one of the main villians
How did Cartoon Network get away with this
one of the villains was literally just a feminist
>Lauren denounced the episode because a feminist threatened to kill her daughter
>transvestite Satan is the best villain
ftfy, Him was on a whole other level of hilarious and dangerous at the same time.
Yeah. He was one of the few villains you could actually see as real threat because he was just fricking around most of the time but would eventually get evil as shit.
Same for the zombie magician.
Did Him ever get a real name
no he's consistently called Him the whole series, mainly because they weren't able to come out and say it that he's the devil
Nope. The original short (Whoopass Stew) actually does straight up call him Satan but once it became The Powerpuff Girls Cartoon Network didn't let them call him that.
>all of transvestite Satan's episodes are the best
How did they do it? Some of the shit he did was on some genuine fricked up shit.
>having the PPG solve riddles on a time limit or the Professor would have to pay for his breakfast
Pure evil.
>the episode where the girls go to the future and discover Him won and made everyone, even their father, come to hate them
What shocked me as a kid was how PPG never actually beat this guy. They pretty much just fled.
And he is hot as frick for some reason.
It was a different time. Cow and Chicken had a reacquiring devil character with a fat bare ass.
Red guy has a name you know.
Baron von Nein Lederhosen
I know, just wanted to describe what he was.
Is lance sackless supposed to be a dig at lance armstrong losing his balls to testicular cancer?
>It was a different time.
Only because today is a sick and evil time of tyranny.
>it's just like real life
I always thought ppg’s recurring villain is just some kind of dogwhistle
Him-homosexuals
Mojo jojo-Black folk
Gangrene gang-beaners
Satan/Lucifer is a being depicted as trying to lure people in with temptation.
Mojo Jojo is a science experiment gone wrong, monkeys as test subjects were a big thing.
Also does this mean the Ameba boys are Wops, Princess is white people, and the Rowdy Ruff boys are toxic masculinity?
nah? nah..
Mojo is a parody of badly dubbed Japanese villains.
there were also bacteria wogs
wops* although wogs works too
oh yeah ,that happened
I wanted to like this show but it had less violence and less humor. How do you have less fighting scenes than the chibi counterparts?
By filling half the runtime with lazily animated scenes of them sitting around in classrooms
Still WAY better than Nu-PPG.
> How do you have less fighting scenes than the chibi counterparts?
Filling it with fanservice.
>in b4 out of 10
god Blossom was such a bawd on that show
She was? In what ways?
her main trait on the anime is that she is a dumb otaku and was very into guys, she is constantly horny for guys, specially from the tv show she watch, one episode where the girls exchange bodies, she was lusting over Butteecup's older brother.
Also the Latam dub had Sakura Kinomoto's VA for her and she had a lot of fun to show how horny Blossom was.
from min 13:40
>dumb otaku very into guys
I thought she was into sporty guys.
she was into any guy that was hot, there is an episode that ends with her forcing the other girls to watch recordings of the weather report because the guy on it was hot
they aren't sisters in the anime?
they are three random girls "chosen" by the white Z rays
>giving the Powerpuff Girls a background that makes them not artificially created sisters who derive their powers from Chemical X.
If I owned the PPG IP I'd definitely make another season of Z
Another season but without all the filler and transformation sequences, even if it's only 12 episodes.
I like a lot of 90s/00s anime but rewatching it is painful when you pay attention to how many corners they cut to pad out runtimes. Shonen especially.
Yeah I guess I'd also add more action sequences
Love, love, love, l-l-love . . .
Makes the world go 'round
makes the world go round!
>Love makes the world go round
>so let’s beat the shit out of this clown who was mind controlled to be a different person
What did the Powerpuff Girls mean by this?
clowns are creepy and violence is fun/funny.
Kindergarteners aren't good at moment to moment thinking
He wasn't mind controlled. He was literally BLEACHED.
But to be fair, he also wasn't himself which made it fricked up when he was jailed for something beyond his control.
Why did they do it? I always felt bad for the clown since I was a kid.
I still remember that one episode where Mojo Jojo made the evil male Powerpuffs who kicked the girls' asses, and then when they felt bad about losing the city gathered around them and thanked them for giving their all and fighting their hardest for their sake. I was surprised that they could lose at all, back when I was a kid.
This was a crazy episode I can't believe they put him in jail
So how strong was Him? Was he just toying with the girls the whole time? Was there ever a big showdown? I always felt he was the big bad above Mojo.
He was more of a comedy relief villain, but there's an episode where the PPG run so fast that they time travel to a ruined future, showing them that if left unchecked, Him would just conquer the entire planet completely unopposed and even when the girls tried to fight him there, he'd just stand back like nothing had happened.
Did the remake just come and go. All I vaguely remember is some drama over some writer awkwardly inserting himself as Blossom's boyfriend and then nothing.
Christ I think PPGZ might actually get talked about more and that's without the e-girl-thirst being included. That's really gotta suck for the writers. what happened to the CW show I know that cursed thing was going to happen at some point
CW Show had numerous test screenings that were panned so they scrapped the whole thing. Even the “woke” crowd they targeted thought it looked bad.
The only thing I remember about the remake was it looking like dogshit, the self-insert guy (which was "purportedly" a gag character created by the studio independently of him), and the fourth PPG.
I liked how she gets literally Poochie'd away from the show.
Good. Everything about her character design screams DeviantArt OC. And I say that as someone with DeviantArt OCs.
Wasn't she from the original? But then goes to space or something because she's too strong or some shit?
Wait maybe that was from the remake. Frick me I-I don't know.
Remake only. The original did have a fourth PPG that came out looking like Quasimodo, but she died at the end of her episode from being made incorrectly.
Frick that one was sad
She was too good for this world
🙁
All I know is that one clip of the villain bear hypnotizing the girls and making them twerk. And that was enough for me to take my leave.
The remake was by far one of the worst cartoons I've had the disgrace of watching, horribly written and animated, one of the main writers self-inserting as Blossom's crush was just the cherry on top. I believe it only had one season? Maybe two, I also recall the supposed first PPG and older sister of the trio who appeared in like one or two episodes, but that's all I can remember.
PPGZ was just your run-of-the-mill inoffensive magical girl anime, a fun novelty but nothing special.
Would you date a PPG?
And all of them if I have to
Bubbles, yes. But lose the breasts.
Yes
But I'm not going to jail for it.
No way. Can you imagine them during their period? Not interested in a girl that could vaporize my dong if angry.
The danger is half the fun
>mfw the current state of cartoon network
Just give it to me anon, how bad is it nowadays? I stopped watching cartoons years ago because I couldn't swallow how horrendous all of them had become, not only CN. Are they still spamming TTGo 12 hours a day?
Gumball Watterson is getting into fistfights with minecraft streamers.
That's not an episode BTW, that happened IRL.
Looking at the schedule it looks like they finally stopped doing that, cartoons are still largely shit though
>Cocomelon
alrighty then
>cocomelon
>thomas
It's been too long since i've watched anything on television to know if they aired stuff for literal babies before or not
And that's 2022, I don't even want to know how bad it is nowadays.
Damn well at least it's not 6 hours of teen titans go. God damn I would feel sad if my favorite franchise wasn't already dead, buried and replaced with a bizarre doppelganger that actively mocks me for liking the original it replaced.
At least Gumball is pretty decent yeah? That's something. What the frick is a Craig of the Creek it sounds like a shitty CalArts ripoff of Edd Ed and Eddy.
>What the frick is a Craig of the Creek it sounds like a shitty CalArts ripoff of Edd Ed and Eddy.
The sad part is that you almost perfectly hit the nail on that.
I was just being a cynical prick when I wrote that is that seriously what it is?
>CalArts cartoon about a trio of kids led by Black Kid McBlack personlips having happy safe adventures in a forest with the rest of the quirky singular personality trait neighbor kids
Maybe calling it CalArts Ed Edd & Eddy is a bit of a stretch, but you get the idea. And it's as boring and inoffensive as you can imagine.
Was that one show with the moronic fat kid more Ed, Edd, & Eddyesque?
Uhh Clarence I think. Fricking christ that one was just fricking obnoxious. It's like they took Ed but he had severe oxygen deprivation at birth.
Teen Titans Go is weird in that it alternates between having some ideas that would be really cool in a regular Teen Titans episode (Ravager showing up) or some episodes that can actually be somewhat funny (Blackfire framing Starfire for a crime and Starfire getting revenge on her afterwards), only for the rest to be actual dogshit where you have things like BB and Cyborg singing a song about pooping or the creators of the show showing up to eat sandwiches while shitting on detractors of the show.
I basically never watched a full episode ttg (it used to be on in the background cause my sister was still at that age) but I did watch the movie and that 200th episode special and they were both pretty fantastic.
And I've seen a few clips that people mention around here, notably one about them pranking robin about his parents being alive and another one where robin has a race against kid flash.
Why's he still called Robin, anyway? I thought the idea was that he needed to become a leader as Nightwing instead of a sidekick.
Brand recognition
>they still rehash orig PPG
Damn.
I had no idea it was like half a decade old by the time I was watching it.
>cocomelon
Damn I can still remember the dozen or so shows that I watched back in the day and kids today are just being fed the same dogshit everyday.
It really doesn't make sense when kids don't know what it all means and only realizes it when they've grown older. You just end up inhibiting their knowledge and growth.
The gumball and teen titans go channel™
>they still spamming TTGo 12 hours a day?
It's replaced with gumball now
gumchads keep winning
It's better then ttg but goddamn the 5000th viewing the shit gets boring
Probably, I only watched through it once and I had a good time. I should probably watch it again, I was just looking through some episode synopses and remembered how fricking good some of it was.
Yeah, banana splits was the last thing they showed for the day, and it was always disappointing to me because it wasn't a cartoon. To me, CN stopped airing as soon as banana splits came on.
Gumball's pretty good.
OK that's a lotta Gumball, especially on saturdays. When I watched CN back in the day it was like, tom and jerry, hong kong phooey, scooby doo, looney tunes and the banana splits. They didn't show the same cartoon for 4 hours straight.
There was a lot of show variety, for sure. Dexter, EEnE, PPG, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, Time Squad, Samurai Jack, KND, etc.
Now it just seems like six shows a day total. What a shame.
Was Cow and Chicken even good? Even as a kid I felt like the show was moronic.
I never saw the appeal honestly
I wouldn't call it a childhood favorite of mine, but I remember having a few laughs here and there when I watched it as a kid.
It's one of those "you watch it because it's scheduled in between 2 shows that you like" types.
There was a banned episode about biker lesbos that kept beating the shit out of chicken and munching on living room carpets
I love it. Some episodes are meh, but in general it's a fun time.
It was pretty bad
simpler, better times
How many episodes would JB last before it got pulled these days?
Didn't he have a deer lusting after him or something
Antelope, actually
And that episode was written by fricking Seth MacFarlane
>Bravo was a Ganker /k/ommando and embodiment of the Gigachad meme
Damn that show was ahead of its time.
Cartoons are way more openly raunchy nowadays.
In the weirdest timeline he would be praised for leaving homely women alone (and being regularly rejected for being a dimwitted womanizer), not lusting after the child, and loving his mama.
It's funny to learn Johnny Bravo was popular in India. Kind of tells alot about the culture.
W-what? Buddy if this is true then that means I have to be slightly nicer to Indians for having some semblance of taste. Actually nah scratch that it makes perfect sense based on what's popular in Bollywood.
iirc they were responsible for ushering in more content after it had ended due to its popularity there
I think he actually goes to India
>look it up
Well there it is
picking the female avatar in a nutshell
>When I watched CN back in the day it was like, tom and jerry, hong kong phooey, scooby doo, looney tunes and the banana splits
Ah the early morning schedule if im remembering right, later on added their originals in the midday until toonami came in and those got moved into the evening
I remember Baby Looney Tunes used to be on pretty much every day at one point, but a solid hour of Cocomelon is on a different level
Typically from memory they would do maybe 4 episodes back to back, i think if there was some new season or something theyd do a saturday of a 3-4 hour block, i vaguely recalls something like that for EE&E at least, but otherwise you got 1-2 episodes then it was on to the next thing
But this was back when they were churning cartoons out on the regular
>mfw the current state of television
Mean = Funny
Ms favorite episode was the one where they were trying to get their ball back from Mojo, the one wherr mojo was pardoned from to babysit them and they just ruthlessly tormented until he basically begged the police to arrest him again
My favorite episode is the one where the three girls keep wetting their bed the entire episode but it's revealed that Mojo Jojo was sneaking into tehir bedroom every single night and in secret and he was the one wetting their bed.
Oh and the Gnomey episode I suppose.
>that one episode where Dexter spoofs a classic anime
and by one I mean dozens. Going back I realize that half the Dexter's Lab episodes are anime/japanese movie parodies. Genndy was a massive weeb.
Dexter was a lot of plots from cartoons, comics anime and movies from the 60's-80's yeah
Just nerdy shit in general.
Damn I forgot about this episode for like 20 years. Genndy sounds like he would be a fun dude to hang out with.
>watching that episode as a child where dexter and dee dee turn into continually evolving kaijus and fight each other
You know thinking back I think that's where my fetish came from
that episode gave me a boner
also that one episode when Dee Dee became giant and started undressing Dexter
also that one episode where Dexter had this little girl crush on him and there was a music bit
damn I was going to attach a boner-related image to my post but it failed, mad how I'm not alone with that episode
https://youtu.be/Sej2JSZuwIc?si=7gbSFy9NyrRNjrGd
This shit right here.
I can trace my gentle giantess fetish to this very episode, especially the whole lovey dovey aspect of it.
Can I sue Cartoon Network for mental damages?
Wait is this where my smug e-girl fetish came from? Oh god. OH GOD. H-how do you live with this knowledge
maybe :^)
but i think you would have liked the same things no matter what in the end
no way to know tho
https://litter.catbox.moe/nedtq8.png
Banger song that makes me feel gay
I vividly remember that episode where Dexter becomes a doll and his mind gets rewritten into thinking all the plastic shit is real.

>also that one episode when Dee Dee became giant and started undressing Dexter
Dee Dee probably awakened a lot of things in a lot of people. I remember there being a footgay episode, too.
ah yes, the camping trip episode

>episode ends with the bad guys winning
I know Jack undoubtedly killed them offscreen, but still.
I miss when Samurai Jack was a series of cautionary tales with no actual plan to end.
The final season was weird in a lot of ways. I feel like it'd be neat to have a Samurai Jack movie to cover Jack's culture shock over going back home, though. He's been in the future for 50 years, which is longer than he's been in the past. Seeing him have to get reacclimated to a world that no longer has the amenities he's used to could be interesting.
It was definitely rushed, it's well agreed that the first three episodes of the final season were some of the best in the entire series, but the final couple of episodes went too fast just to give it closure because they only had 10 episodes to work with. Didn't the most recent game rewrite the ending to a better one?
yeah, they released a game that even the creator said was the Canon new one
Basically, from what I understand:
>Jack and Ashi go back in time
>Aku jumps into the portal and makes Jack relive his greatest hits
>Demongo actually does things multiple times instead of just being a cameo
>Scaramouche also has a bit of an expanded role
>Da Samoorai actually helps out fighting Aku in the final battle instead of retiring
>Jack tries to talk down the Daughter of Aku, but it doesn't work
>Jack is able to Talk no Jutsu Ashi at the end, but Aku appears out of nowhere and pushes her onto Jack's sword so he kills her
>later, Aku puppets Ashi's corpse in front of him to mock him before turning her into her demon form to fight him
>Jack defeats Aku and goes back in time
>Ashi is there with Jack in the final scene from the show where he's under the tree
It's an absurd rewrite cuz Jack saving the world at personal cost is very on-brand. Giving him a no-strings happy ending simply isn't Samurai Jack.
Don't mind me, just posting the best era of CN's life. Yes, CN City was really fun, but this one just screamed the perfect blend of classic and new to me and I've never, ever gotten tired of that music. Leave this shit on as background noise constantly.
>because they only had 10 episodes to work with
That's 100% Genndy's fault, though. They straight up asked him how many episodes he wanted for a final season and the dumbass only went for 10. So not only did he kneecap himself, he wasted half of it on shit that wasn't necessary.
I mean only the first 3 episodes were any good. Then it turns into some weird waifu fanfic. But man, those first few episodes, goddamn masterpiece.
The first 3 were god tier, but it's not like the rest is completely unsalvageable. But it already started off with a handicap and then it just turns into the fricking Ashi Show. Wouldn't even have minded Jack getting a wife if she hadn't stolen the damn final season from him. And then some decisions were just baffling, especially the reveal of how and why he lost his sword.
I would argue that Episodes 4 and 5 were alright, but bogged down by some bad decisions.
>Ashi's ladybug fixation that convinces her to side with Jack comes out of nowhere at the end instead of being something that was shown earlier
>Jack immediately going to an hero after the kids seemingly die as a result of Ashi's actions, not his own
It gets even weirder when the furries living is enough to convince Jack that it's worth going on when you had picrel in Episode 1, which included children who died as a result of Jack's inaction.
I thought it was disappointing he didn't save the future
I know it's supposed to be a closed time loop story (which is a moronic idea) but it would have been nice to have an epilogue for all the characters he actually met on his journey instead of relegating them to nonexistence in favor of a world we only spent part of the pilot episode in.
>a female monkey comes in to ruin the Beat Alls
>her name is "Moko Jono"
jesus christ, imagine if cartoons did this today
It's both sad and funny how most 90's and early 2000's cartoons would be considered "adult" cartoons like Rick & Morty if released nowadays, people just don't have the skin to take such jokes anymore.
pretty much. Seeing how they air old shows on adult swim's checkered past and not on cartoon network means children just got more infantilized.
I want to say you're a boomer gay but the shows are literally rated TV-PG when they're shown on adult swim's throwback block now lol
>she wears a hat and keeps screaming
sauce me up captain
they literally cite titles and lyrics non-stop during the damn episode, it was honestly jarring for little old kid me, who had no fricking idea what they were talking about
You're awful Powerpuff girls.
>Show about babies
>Has a fricking Rashomon episode
>Early episodes were drawn by the guy that did Aeon Flux
Rugrats was way better than I ever thought possible
Most of the good episodes were just "what if famous scene/trope but baby" or the adults doing moronic shit
There were a LOT of bad episodes
And it never goes into poopy shit humor like Super Babies.
like the first 1/3rd was but there's a clear marker of quality drop and it never recovers
It's funny watching Duckman and hearing Tommy Pickles's VA as Mambo.

The best episode is the one with the ice cream man. You cannot deny this.
No, the best episode was the one spoofing Die Hard where the villain was janitor Luigi

>rightfully dodges the shit out of him while still doing his job
>piece of shit knows exactly what he did, felt no real remorse for his actions whatsoever
>piece of shit pays with a $100 bill at the end of the show
He had every right to hate Dexter. He did nothing wrong.
>large bill
he just didn't want to deal with change, frick him and frick you. This isn't Skeeter and Jimmy Nuetron. All the adults that cross Dexter are usually insane
I should correct myself. He didn't pay with a large bill the first time, the motherfricker paid WITH A BIGASS JAR OF PENNIES.
>This kid wanted to get ice cream with change
yeah, what a horrible monster...
>this piece of shit paid for a $16 ice cream bar with a giant jar of pennies
Yes I'm glad you understand.
>$16 ice cream bar
I would pay in pennies to, frick you for accepting gay prices and not accepting legal tender because of an autistic vendetta. Don't breed.
He offered the lad a much cheaper ice cream you inbred Black person, but the fricker INSISTED on buying the most expensive ice cream IN PENNIES.
FRICK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON.
he offered him a thimble off 'frick off' icecream. You're a homosexual and should move back to a gayville, population (You).
He's talking about the first time, before Dexter ruined the guy's life. He offers Dexter a generic chocopop instead of the Major Glory icecream that'd cost a shit ton.
just get the icecream, icecream getter.
Okay that's what I remember
I did that at a pizza place I went to as a kid after school too kek
Got kicked out
Well I was already usually paying with dimes and nickels but I ran out of dimes and nickels and eventually only had nickels and pennies. Dropping like 100 pennies on the counter was the last straw
I side with Dexter, frick you you're a business do your job
You should've gotten your parents to call in and curse them out.
The adult's punches carry more weight, you can see it because the screen shakes.
Dexter is taking it like a champ
The midget could always brawl.
>with a large bill
It was a jar of fricking pennies

>The episode where Dexter "fires" DeeDee and basically hires a prostitute to replace her
Reminder that the creators of PPG are responsible for ponies.
I distinctly recall an episode where they beat the fricking shit out of ponies.
You may be thinking of a Dexter episode.
Do you really think she aimed at grown horny men as the target audience when creating the show?
100% doubt, fricking idiot.
WE MADE FRICKING JOKES DURING THE GODDAMN PREMIERE, HAHAHA BUT WHAT IF IT CATCHES ON OR GUISE I'M HORNY FOR PINK ONE.
At least bronies are dead. /mlp/ should be killed, i can't imagine it containing as bad amount of brons it did when it was made.
They should be filtered back to Ganker, /toy/ and /trash/, assuming it's slow enough not to drown those boards.
there is nothing inherently wrong with ponies. Who could have ever predicted that a bunch of manchildren would flock to it more than little girls
You mean, the exact same thing that happened to PPG?
Did that really happen to ppg? I was like 5 while it was airing so I dunno if it was popular among manchildren like ponies were
nowhere near the level of ponies.
PPG aired before the internet was big, so while there were probably a few autists on usenet groups and forums lusting over kids, it wasn't significant.
It's sickening a bunch of decent prospective moegays driven to the infinitely worse cartoon worse plague.
We really couldn't have seen just how widespread it would end up becoming.
Wars are being fought currently over which is the sexiest pony.
Slavbros, explain yourselves.
I guess they love technicolor pussy that winks back.
Not even the top 5 most degenerate fetish for them. Just remember that all Slavic countries are grim third world shitholes.
They are the ones that went crazy over that mouse girl from chip and dale I think
>Romania not on the list
confirmed not slavs
Any show THAT popular is gonna attract the worst sort of people in large numbers
It's not their fault the show was captured by the weirdest people.
Reminder that the Mongols conquered the largest land empire in history on the backs of ponies. They've killed 40% of the world's population using ponies.
Yeah, it was a pretty fun show. Shame about the fanbase, but the same thing happened with shit like Undertale so it's not terribly surprising. Simply unfortunate.
It's honestly impressive how she managed to change a B grade toys brand into such a hit, especially with men. How the frick did she do it? I still don't understand.
It's the fricking moe anime formula. It's not rocket science.
She gave a shit, and decent character design can go a really long way. Doesn't hurt that the show was alright. Shame about the end result.
People need to remember outside of memes MLP aesthetically looks like the PPG/Dexter and Fosters. Both shows were at times carried by their writing and humor and aesthetic.
I have no problem with this because of GR15 successfully containing the horsefrickers.
An avalanche of top quality porn was made because of Lauren Faust, and that's a good thing.
The first few seasons s of FiM were legitimately good shit until it jumped the shark with Twilicorn.
FiM was good at brainwashing grown adults into thinking a neoliberal capitalist autocracy full of talking horses was a paradise. It's a false prophet followed by people who were never enlightened by Sonic.
bro it's just a cartoon. How the hell can a cartoon brainwash adults
By making them want to live in a world without video games.
Can't say I ever understood this line of reasoning. It may not have been what Lauren wanted but there was still fun to be had. The school is where it truly went to hell and I just stopped entirely instead of skipping episodes.
I jumped ship at the 100th episode where they slapped a bunch of Fandom shit into the show. Never watched a single second of the show after that.
When I watch a movie it's because I like the director's other works or the star actor.
I don't care about their political views or their fake gender.
For actors it also just makes it better to not know his personal life and opinions as it can destroy the illusion of their acting.
As a kid in the early 00s I used to watch horror movies with my teenage sisters.
Now I have "dreams" which play horror movies out... but I'm the perpetrator.
>As a kid in the early 00s I used to watch horror movies with my teenage sisters.
Did you frick them?
Anon you can't frick movies. They aren't real
It's kinda funny, they were more monstrous to me than the monsters in my dreams (and I used to literally lewd the monsters in my dreams).
I once fricked this girl thing in a dream like the Conjuring.
It was the most surreal lucid sex dream imaginable.
I don't know why, but I don't feel much fear when asleep.
Sleep paralysis is different though and often is horrific.
>Ganker posters were brainwashed all along
FIFY
>brainwashed
He literary just got super powers and went evil immediately. You can see the expression at the beginning. He was not brainwashed
He didn't get super powers he lost his color and turned grey and became an evil opposite mime.
As soon as he got his color back he turned back into a happy clown. Frick you ppg apologist
He should be freed
He's freed. He's shown in the background of a number of later episodes.
Great. Good for him. I guess the justice system works after all. Better than the kindergarten girls playing judge jury and executioner.
Did people really get mad over the movie being darker than the series? I always thought it was cool and a pretty good movie.
same. I thought it was rad as frick.
I didn't see it in theatres because I didn't know it was in theatres
It was a really good movie, moreso for an origin story. And I just realized the PPG movie is to PPG what the first Spongebob movie was to Spongebob. S5-6 was a step below the first four, but at least it ended before it got really bad.
Also this image is almost a decade old.
I just realized the Gen Z and Gen A dont have 1/10 as many of the good cartoons like the top image. All they have is TTG, Gumball, Steven Universe or Nu Spongebob. We really did have it good.
>bubbles and buttercup sharing a seat
uuuooohh...
jesus that's depressing, even though on the first image there's a lot of HB cartoons blended in.
Maybe, but I didn't mind CN respecting the old cartoons by regularly showing them mixed in with their own programs.
Sure as hell beats 12 hour marathons of TTG five days out of the week.
Yeah, althouigh if you check their history a bit closer they had to create original cartoons because HB was sucking them dry from profits, so they, in a sense had to metaphorically kill the past by replacing them. Fun
Not just that, but the HB stuff was PART of CN in the early days, then another 7 or 8 years later, we'd get those commercials about CN being a company where Fred just went to work. Even got then current Fred to do lines and shit, it was fun times.
Not homosexual TTG 28 hours 22 days a week shit
You could say that the HB/WB characters are cheating, but I always saw it as a nice way of mixing the old with the new. Even Nickelodeon couldn't hold a candle to the star power the top image had until Spongebob debuted and even then he was still a rookie compared to the Rugrats and Hey Arnold.
>1776
checked
it's sad, but some newer cartoons aren't so bad
most are though
>kanker sister and Astro
>Samurai Jack eyeing Blossom
>Fred and Daphne
>I R Baboon and Scooby
>Betty and Wilma
who's in the back, that Valkryie guy from the three heroes show/ dexter spin off. Who is he next to... time squad kid? must be I see the robot angry as frick about it to the right
Valhallen
what the frick, why is this the best thread on Ganker right now
I LOVE MY WIVES AMI AND YUMI!
What a weird show and a weird time. I think i read some time it was the personal passion project pitched by the president of CN at the time or something like that? Literally just wanted to make this jap band he liked popular
What a guy
>I think i read some time it was the personal passion project pitched by the president of CN at the time or something like that? Literally just wanted to make this jap band he liked popular
Big if true.
What a guy indeed. Not other anon you replied to, but that was a great show.
I honestly would've liked to see the Babymetal show they had planned with the same exec that pitched Ami Yumi (Sam Register) but it was canned.
That ending literally would not fly today. He hates it!
I was full mast during this scene when I first watched it
>remember girls: if you want to defeat boys, just molest them!
what the frick did Craig mean by this?
I hated the episode where the girls fricked that filthy kid.
I didn't hate the premise, but the grossout was incredibly offputting.
>what the frick did Craig mean by this?
he wanted to leave a positive lasting legacy in the world, bless him
I mean that generally does work if they're not interested by at least making them leave
Girls have cooties.
>does nothing wrong
>loses job due to stupid kid and mother
>homeless the very next day
the whole swamp people culture subplot was the only good thing in this show
>millennials haven't seen this masterpiece
There will never be a show like PPG again.
What the frick are you talking about? PPG was millennial core
>millenials
moron a show can be rerun
I think people still confuse millennials with zoomers, but even people born in like 2000 caught reruns so it's probably some delusional 45 year old.
Come on, if you want a cartoon that millennials actually didn't watch, there's lots to pick from.
>create a permanently angry boss b***h of a little girl
>give her one of the sexiest VAs of all time
What did Maxwell Atom mean by this?
In the animation industry, the inside jokes were everybody had a crush on the voice-actress for Chucky Finnster, Grey Delise and Lauren Faust.
the episode about pandora's box was the best one
I still giggle when I think about the scene where grim tries putting two and two together about pandora only to end up realizing he's going to miss his show
and then it happens a second time*
Was billy and Mandy not one of the most popular cartoons of its era?
Yeah but it was 2007
Exactly I was playing f2p runescape in 2007 for frick's sake
boomers are moronic
Yeah millennials weren't watching B&M, they were watching Adult Swim and Superbad. It was one of the most popular CN shows but it came out in 2007.
Bruh I never even knew about adult swim and I basically grew up with all those CN shows and shonen shit + conan
pic unrelated
It's a shame that the CN execs still have a hateboner for Max to this day.
Eris holds a high place on the list of cartoon women that are responsible for my fetishes
CN execs are marketing their shit to shipping fanatics and adults who want cartoons to be political-adjacent titans that look inoffensive and yet marketable.
Am I the only person in the entire galaxy who didn't like Billy and Mandy?
You were probably born in 1993 and were too old for it when it came out.
My bad, I didn't mean it in a "this is too childish for me" manner. Even as a kid I found one of the main characters insufferable. Grim was fine, Mandy was okay, but Billy was too off-putting for me. I agree completely with anon here
It was too weird and gross for me.
No it got really bad later on. Specially when Fred-Fred Burger was added.
The episodes that were focused mainly on grim or mandy were decent from my memory, billy drags the show down most of the time and the gross humor didnt help much
mandy became a mary sue queen of evil very quickly when she started out as a goth occultist kind of girl that creeped her parents out and had a domineering personality
also yes fred fredburger and other LOL RANDOM characters
>Take my pain, my love, and all of my anger!
Billy and Mandy was gross. Only creeps watched it.
That episode where Bellum was being horny on the Mayor for time off work.
And the commentary track was great too.
>the buff dude and the robot are joked to be in a gay relationship
imagine how mad conservatives would be if this show aired today.
They were mad when they thought peppermint patty, velma, spongebob and patrick, bert and earnie and other characters were even rumored as gay.
I would not.
But it's funny you think that
>today
Your liberals of the 90's are not the same liberals of today. What was edgy back then is the norm and degenerate today. What would have been a one off joke about a gay person would now be an entire persons personality with a whole episode dedicated with what flavor of wiener they like to suck on.
I wish Three Dog Band got greenlit
I am wrong or all new cartoons are cartoonish evil?
>Beat Alls episode
>Realizing as an adult after actually learning a little bit about the Beatles that Moko Ono's gutteral rambling was a direct mockery of Yoko Oko's monkey noises during songs
>They made Yoko Ono a fricking chimp, which is already an uncommon but real joke about Asians with flat noses and protruding lips
I thought black people were the ones who get called chimps. Is it just a generic term for anyone who isn't white now?
Trust me, you see an Asian where their eyes protrude out as far as their nose, and you'd understand why chimp is thrown around.
George bush got called a chimp
Anyone can be a chimp
irish people also got called monkeys, you can see it in old political cartoons
cartoons really enjoyed making Yoko a punching bag whenever they parodied The Beatles
There's a YouTube video where they point out all the references of that episode and literally just about every line out of their mouths is either from a Beatles song or something they said.
WHAT WAS MY PROBLEM WITH MAN, YOU ASK? NO, I ASK YOU WHAT WAS MAN'S PROBLEM WITH ME?
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME
YOU SAY THAT I'M
NOT LIVING RIGHT
What's the best cartoon currently airing? I caught up with rick and morty as well as south park but they're still bad.
Why were cartoons made in the 90s and early 2000s absolutely dripping with SOVL?
KnD is shit
Why does Ganker appreciate cartoons more than videogames?
Oh please, cartoons are background noise while I wait for my post-quest timer in Monster Hunter to run down.
Notice how we talk about late 90s and 2000s cartoons? That's because we grew up with them. You don't see Ganker talking with such passion about Adventure Time or *barf* Steven Universe.
>You don't see Ganker talking with such passion about Adventure Time
That's not true, AT threads do pretty well. No one on this site likes SU though.
>ignoring /sug/
wise.
Nostalgia is a factor but it doesn't change the fact that something like Hey Arnold is objectively better made and teaches children better morals than trash like St*ven Univ*rse
I'm an old man, but Adventure Time was really good until it wasn't anymore. Gravity Falls was also pretty good, although I'm not sure if it will survive a rewatch. And Gumball was fun. Every other show has been varying degrees of disappointment for me.
Gumballs probably the last cartoon to get a laugh
Adventure Time went to shit when they had Cinnamon Bun cuck him and the writers then took turns shitting on Finn over and over as hard as possible until nearly the end of the show. Ironically this happened after Rebecca Sugar, the Steven Universe b***h, left the show.
I see. I kind of skipped significant parts of AT near the end because the storylines didn't interest me anymore, but I remember the miniseries Islands and then Elements being a return to form, one last spark.
steven universe is a fun litmus test for how many surface level dorks don't "get it" and lombast it for not having enough action or the pudgy little dweeb steven's power pretty much being Talk No Jutsu
but it's also fun to play "spot where the fandom lost its fricking mind" as episodes go by, and it's a much better show now that there aren't insane waits between episodes
Off-topic Ganker is always the best version of Ganker because shitposters don't know how to properly approach and ruin threads right out of the gate. There's also no reason for shills, counter-shills, and marketers to post here.
Because this isn't the Cartoon board, which is by obligation required to talk modern cartoons. Which suck.
So, you guys like to make "crank" calls?
powerpuff girls was the only cartoon with female main characters that i enjoyed as a kid
>watching Cartoon Cartoon Friday's
>watching Toonami
>watching Nick in the Afternoon with Stick Stickley
>watching All That
>watching Kenan and Kel
TAKE ME FRICKING BACK
>toonami
Stay gold...
Bang.
When did you stop watching cartoons, bros? For me it was Flapjack era
Cartoons were largely background noise for me but i largely stopped altogether around the time TTG started up, by that point cartoons were irredeemable trash to even have on in the background
When Toonmai went off the air I basically checked out of TV entirely and dove full on into video ganes.
When CN started airing "What a cartoon!" I learned to hate and fear cartoons and took a 15 years break. Also we couldn't afford CN anymore.
The first seasons of Adventure Time and Regular Show
Same, gave up on cartoons when flapjack came out. That was really when everything changed. Avatar and all the other nicktoons ended, to be replaced by the mighty b and fanboy and chum chum.
Everything on cartoon Network ended and they tried to do that live action stuff, only cartoons left were chowder and flapjack.
So basically cartoons were over for me at that point.
I eventually caved in and watched adventure time, in I think season 4. But stopped watching it in season 7 I think? Whatever the season with the meteor was.
And I did end up coming back and watched gravity falls, like half of regular show and also SU & up to season 4 of ponies
