Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

Like a demented cartoon that would had been on MTV back in the late 90's and early 2000's.
there's probably a reason for that last bit lol

Eh, It was not bad , little bumpy of a start. However, turned off immediately with gooseworx and their incredibly unprofessional behavior (strange fetish like appeal with some of the characters upon their Q&A responses and other forms of conversation over the series)
If you want to know why you're seeing it go that direction, this is who gooseworx is.

More detail from a couple years back.

I can only image they've gotten worse with time.
 
Anyways my horror spergatry aside, Ghoul School may be a dated product of its time and it wears its 80s cheese on its sleeve, but really that's the charm of these older scooby products, and i know its a cliche to say at this point but say it with me kiwis...
Classic Scooby was the best and honestly I kinda like the idea that Shaggy manned up enough that he would actually be wlling to teach a school full of monsters (its amazing he doesn't bring this up later when Daphne is wanting to see real monsters in Zombie Island).

Scooby is such a mishandled property. One thing I dislike about modern installments (even before Velma, which I never bothered watching) is A) a tendency to reduce characters to flat archetypes, or in some cases try to force square pegs into round holes (as far back as the Cyber Chase they were trying to make Daphne kick ass), B) the tendency to, instead of trying to make controversial characters and eras work, instead reduce them to in-jokes (Scrappy is the biggest victim of this... I never even understood the hate for the puppy).....

..... and C ) forgetting that part of the series appeal originally was that it actually was kind-of a spooky show for kids. Seriously watch the 60s-70s seasons and just look at those backgrounds, monster designs, the framing of some of those shots, like the episode with the sharkman where they have him peeking out while lightning strikes, or even just how creative they got with the locations (a house whose foundation is so precarious its threatening to fall into the sea every moment, just for example).....

Modern Scooby loses the "spooky" angle and more plays up the "comedy" angle and I feel like that's hurt the show. It doesn't help when crossovers like the one with Batman the Brave and the Bold (which is mostly a good movie BTW) tend to clearly favor the Batman side and make the Scooby Gang a third wheel.

(One thing I've always wondered because of that movie by the way.... I don't know much about Plastic Man, so is he actually okay with just telling people his real name and backstory like he is in that movie?)
 
Which is why I stopped watching his videos, that and shit opinions. Was funny when he got in hot waters for arguing that cave dwelling troglodytes were a dog whistle for Niggers.
Found in the "stopped watching a youtuber thread"

Any and all politics aside, no one anywhere after the Pleistocene lived in fucking caves. It's not a representation of anyone, it's just a fantasy trope.

This is like when a show will acknowledge avoiding a trope instead of just not doing it, it's spineless overcorrecting.

There were those cliff dwellings dug into caves, but they were generally actual houses.

I always find it hilarious when someone compares a dumb violent fictional species to black people and then proceeds to claim that the work's creators are the racist ones.

I'm pretty sure Extra Credits fell into a similar shithole with comparing Orcs to Niggers because they're both big and violent, lol

Something tells me he really is that much of a bitch that he nearly sobs talking about anime and The Simpsons. I don't know how anyone can take him seriously.
I imagine his "deep, passionate" love towards anime, Sonic the Hedgehog, Simpsons, etc. is similar to Chris Chan's deep love of his dog Patti. Just breaking down in emotional tears in his videos while talking about a certain product he likes is complete consoomer manchild behavior.

Mystery incorporated did go much harder on spookyness and less on comedy but it fell on the modern cartoon trap of trying too hard with #LORE (scooby talking is canon and involves dimensional aliens) and wanting to be episodic while telling a long term narrative where everything is somehow connected (it came before gravity falls funny enough). It also had things like the Scooby/Shaggy/Velma "love triangle" that literally no one asked for.

Scooby nowadays feels kinda of a cursed IP trying to juggle between nostalgia/comedy and originality/darkness after What's New SB, which was a good reboot for beginners. Note how every new cartoon is trying to be the opposite from the previous one.

After What's New they go very "experimental" with Scooby and Shaggy get a clue but that has nothing to do with the scooby formula at all so it was alienating. Mystery incorporated brings back to the roots but darker and edgier so it's as divisive as it's beloved. Didnt watch Be cool scooby but it swings back into full comedy (allegedly great) and got hated for family guy artstyle. Also didnt watch Guess Who? but it's clear it tried to bring back the OG nostalgia with designs and crossovers but i heard it ended being very mediocre and forced.

Then VELMA happened which i can see why was accepted since it was time to try something "different" again and why not mix both comedy and darkness but of course, it was a fiasco that was already brought enough on this thread...
 
Where was this selfie taken from?
Not sure where that one was taken from, but I'd imagine twitter. reverse image searching in Yandex lead first to a similar image from a hazbin fan wiki in russian that seems to undeniably be the same person, looking just about as troony loony. (A)

The english version has a different photo but it's pretty clear it's also him. (A)

Hilariously the article calls him a 'she' despite still using the name 'Cooper Smith Goodwin'. Not sure if I've heard a woman called that, admittedly I find it somewhat admirable if he's not actually trying to hide his previous identity by 'deadnaming' it. Not sure if this info is exactly up to date though.

Their twitter if you want to dig but it seems to pretty clearly be them.

I've been wondering if this weirdo had a thread on here and you have answered that thought. Thank you.
No thread on them, at least I don't believe so, just a few scattered posts between related threads. Glitch productions is just a publisher for several animators.
