The movie was the ending. It ended with the Eds being accepted into their social circle.
I just remember there being an part of the movie where one of the ed's older brother tries to kill them all and they have to steal his car to get away. Then somehow reach the end of the world and hit the TV screen. Maybe that's where all the autistic fan theories about this show came from? Newfags spamming clickbait who couldn't just see it as a silly cartoon and leave it at that.
 
At some point, I'm thinking of going back and watching a bunch of the good 90s and 2000s cartoons I missed because I was too young at the time. I was wondering what the best recommendations are from this thread.
Kids Next Door is peak Cartoon Network. If you want something a bit more obscure, Class of 3000 was fuckin’ cool. I second everyone else’s suggestions too.
 
Class of 3000 should have gone on longer all the songs are complete bangers.

Are there any rumors of Craig McCracken and Lauren Faust's marriage being unhappy? I always had a feeling Lauren Faust was a bitch to him. When the brony fandom was still a new thing. Lauren Faust lets people give her credit for creating Power puff Girls.
I'm not surprised whatsoever about companies not wanting original IPs anymore. Goyslop-tier calarts stuff like Steven Universe and Craig of the Creek probably wore away any patience Cartoon Network had left.

MTV's Downtown if you like slice of life stuff. The animation and the voice acting are so damn good. It has some of the most natural sounding voice acting I've heard in a cartoon. All the voice actors were amateurs they picked off the street and just recorded them having conversations they later animated. It reminds me very much of Ralph Bakshi's stuff.
 
Shouldn't be phone-posting this particular Tumblr post, but this is a very common perspective from writers—animators, in this case. By God do we writers love tormenting characters (and the readers) with angst and other traumatic things for the tension.

The character in question looks like a child, though, so that's uh... not something you should be saying within earshot of normies.
The main character is in fact a child, a 13 year year old to be specific, and saying it's fun to write moments in your cartoon where characters that young go through near-death experiences and mental trauma definitely just feels like plain fetishization of Mental Breakdowns.

Man that Spongebob avi in your avatar is unbelievably fitting. What the fuck's the point in fetishising mental breakdowns?? It's inconceivable to me and yet they have done it.

I don't really think it's a fetish thing, at least for some people. Writers and artists tend to treat characters like dolls to play with, and so there's a disconnect that leads to them disregarding anything that might come off as weird. It's like a kid making up unhinged scenarios for their toys.

"Who cares if it's a kid character? They're not real!"

(Though there probably are some people who get off to it.)

Are you confusing the car chase scene from the movie with this scene from the jawbreaker factory episode?

So, mental health allegories are effectively the new feet, fart and inflation jokes?

The same fuckers who use that cop out line as an excuse to flaunt their fetish (to children no less) are also the same faggots who screech about 2D rights for shows they don't work on.
