The Mysterious Mr. Enter / Jonathan Rozanski's "Growing Around" - IndieGoGo Campaign Failed, John going off the deep end, "Turning Red" is ignorant about 9/11 (later retracted)

Everyone knows that Blue's Clues is an allegory for purgatory, you uncultured swine.

So, some interesting information to be had here - the page was NOT created by Enter, but by somebody going by "Cabbit Girl Emi" who goes so far as to put their full name as the first thing on their profile page.

Cabbit Girl Emi / Tropers - TV Tropes

My name is Emily J. Bennettnote the "J" stands for "Jane".. Outside of the fact that my birthday is September 15th, 1991, I can't really describe myself in words, but I can describe myself with tropes. Tropes that I associate with: The Anti …

Now, what was the name of the mystery girl discussed a few pages back that we weren't sure might have been Enter's potential sister or not?

I don't think it's Enter's sister. Brandon has it listed on his profile their sisters are Emily Plourde and Jenelle Taliceo, neither of which have accounts on facebook nor anywhere else as far as I could tell. Well, one has a myspace and a twitter with nothing on it.

This thing that doesn't exist yet has a TV tropes page, probably written by Enter

It's just like the Growing Around episode commentary he made on YouTube (it seems he gave up on doing the rest of the episodes). How and why are you commentating on something that doesn't even exist? He doesn't even go over the script in the video. It's just him ranting about how pilots are bad except for his non-existent one, and insulting people who don't understand Growing Around.

I really wish he'd continue with those, the one he did was hilarious and if he did a commentary on a sissification episode, we'd hopefully get him insulting everyone who calls him out on his creepiness and continuing to dig his hole there.

I've long figured Enter is the kind of sped who doesn't realize he's got a kink, hence the constant insistence that he's "asexual". It's not uncommon for a person like Enter to think they are asexual, when in reality they're only into one, bizarre thing and don't realize that the reason they're so fixated on it is because it's what gets them off.

Why can't people just admit they practice celibacy? That's a lot different of a thing, and much more respectable than claiming to be asexual while very plainly flaunting your kinks.

 

[Mr Roboto]

I'm surprised tvtropes hasn't been mentioned as much throughout this thread when discussing why his series doesn't work. Ever since I saw his links to Growing Around and references like "Bunny Eared-Lawyer" I saw many red flags. Many tropers think of their fanfics or stories as though they were grocery lists of items. Rather than writing according to the flow of their narratives or having a clear goal that they want to tell, it's easier to cobble together tropes like a jigsaw puzzle and think about how they can subvert them, avert them or what have you. I think Enter does this not only because of him mentioning tvtropes all the time but also because of him trying to play many tropes "right" individually. This might explain why his show is so formulaic/basic and somehow so atypically incoherent in premise at the same time: he's thinking in individual tropes and adding them to his shopping list rather than actually writing a story normally.

I think his use of TV tropes might stem from his love for Nostalgia Critic. NC would make comments like "big lipped alligator moment" which either originated from him and became a TV trope, or he referenced from there. It can be useful to take inspiration from tropes or use them as a foundation, but when you're carrying the ideas of them into your final drafts and constantly focusing on them, that's when a writer can get fucked.

Also, as a fellow new-fag, welcome to the farms!

I still don't get how Sally asking "Are we there yet?" while she's the one driving is funny. And this is a joke Enter's latched onto since the beginning, despite rewriting that script like a dozen times.

The Ensemble Dark Horse trope probably made me laugh hardest. It's really describing these characters as if we've actually seen them do things. Riley can't be a fan favourite for her graffiti because we've never seen her graffiti anything. You can't just describe graffiti, it's visual. And she gets her own episode which is an Ace Attorney "parody". Something that doesn't play up to her skateboarding or graffiti skills.

It’s clear he’s trying to subvert the expectation since kids saying are we there yet over and over is a common stereotype. One that’s all but died in the age of cellphones and handheld video games, making it impossible for his target demographic to get the joke. The second part of the joke is big gotcha that she’s driving, which is to show that she’s in control but still childish.
Like, I get the intended joke, but it’s not funny, especially with those shit voice actors.
It also doesn’t really fit the episode because Sally is supposed to be buying time for the surprise party. But hey, he’s the master screenwriter

Give me the deep lore on Blues Clues. Is it all just a book? Why was Corduroy prominently seen in the intro? Why is Steve so creepy?

Is Skidooing just astral projection? Why does no one acknowledge how Steve, and Blue can just travel to what basically amounts to different dimensions at will? Why can't the creatures in the other dimensions Skidoo into Steve's world?

Everyone knows that Blue's Clues is an allegory for purgatory, you uncultured swine.

As somebody who still holds deep nostalgia for Blues Clues from my earliest years...thank you, everyone, for giving me the funniest damn mental image I've had in years.

The animatic and comic make the joke even less funny
When I read it, I though the scene would hide everyone's hands, so the "gotcha" would work, but nope

Seriously. The visuals hurt any chance of even a mild chuckle

I know its been said before in this thread, but Mr Enter (If he doesn't scrap the project like he should) should just make it into a webcomic or an under 5 kids short story series

If Growing Around was a legitimately good idea I'd say the Farms should make a short series or animation just to fuck with Enter. He probably wouldn't care though so it would be relatively pointless.

He tried the webcomic approach before. Got nine strips in and then gave up. I suppose the structure was too limiting for his convoluted ingeniously woven creative vision.

 

[BlueCandle]

He also did a weird ‘ask Sally’ thing on DA where he would draw her answering questions and stuff, except he only ever answered one question and then never again.

An animation would actually be incredible... as long as it’s on the wrong thing. Find a particularly awful scene from those Cute Camp episodes, create a crude animation or even just an animatic, and flash South Park-esque text saying “THIS IS WHAT ENTER ACTUALLY WROTE”, and you’d probably have something.

Although, I should echo @LiquidKid in saying that the purpose shouldn’t specifically be to fuck with Enter, it should be more to show just how degenerate his scripts can actually get.
