Growing Around Growing Around: A slow moving trainwreck. (General Thread)

[Simplicity111]

They change major elements at the drop of a hat. Where is that goddamn series bible?

I'm still fucking waiting on it, and they failed to deliver it. And Mr. Enter and Nayolfa don't realize why we don't have hope for their doomed series, they're clueless.

 

[Soul Craving Dead Dog]

I don't know why he doesn't just give up the series already.

Although I do have an interesting revelation of info:

Mr. Enter and the others told me in the last stream there wasn't really a concept of a "teenager", and that it was mostly just kid and adult, and the transition age was 18, at least we now know that about the show, but then again they'll probably change it, seeing Nayolfa's attitude towards the show.

I still fail to see how that would work... Once they're 18, kids will start going to school, but to learn what ? They already worked as children, why would they study anything if they're going to live on their kids money for the rest of their lives ?

There are so many plotholes Enter and Nayolfa fail to fix, or even try to, that I am confident the series WILL fail.

Of course it will. It's not like it ever had a chance.

It sure will. What other criticism could I give out that literally every member of this board hasn't? If Mr. Enter and Nayolfa, especially Nayolfa, hasn't gotten the memo by now, they never will. I also loved it how about a week ago he said that he was indeed following the criticism, even though he obviously wasn't.

 

[Shokew]

Apparently, it's really important that none of the characters are stupid. Or an asshole.

...Because it's not like we're trying to make a perfect-Ly bland POS here and every- OH WAIT...

Yeah - seconded on a few characters or so being stupid - that's the ONLY way for this premise to actually be interesting, despite, well, the stupidity and everything.

@Simplicity111: This is why this is really only an idea that works as a one-shot, so that you don't have to think about the world it takes place in.

Or he could, I dunno, make it like an actual cartoon, and not think about it. Which I would suggest, but Mr. Enter over-analyzes other cartoons, so he kinda has to do it to his own.

 

[Anchuent Dictata]

Thinking about it, my guess would be that they try to engineer a Chris Chan effect in adults. Get them bogged down in childish and mundane shit that'll keep them relatively docile and focused on vidya or whatever. Given the creators are pushing that adults are too dangerous to be trusted with power, they start getting treated like children so they won't get any of that dangerous ambition.

Except getting an explanation like that seems, uh, unlikely.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

I personally would love to know what they do with the elderly, or does such a thing even exist in Enter's little mind?

As for that series bible, I wouldn't get our hopes up. Not for an instant, given how the two can't keep the story straight, let alone anything else.

FTFY

I can't remember the exact term, but it's been the way of some of history's more severe cultures to take those elderly enough to be only a burden and abandon them in a forest or on a mountaintop to die.

But given that turning adults into unproductive larvae seems to be the intent, that's unlikely. Sadly, many people who live to the advanced age become necessary to receive the near-infant levels of care that is brought on by the degeneration of aging.

Soooo, uh, they've come full circle?

I guess? Seriously, I'm willing to take anything until Enter decides to come up with some shit explanation about it (if he bothers to, that is).

So everyone in this world has to get a kid by 18 or else they end up useless, homeless manbabies?

Scary.

You see, that brings up ANOTHER plothole! Unless Mr. Enter decides to go, actual CARTOON logic, which he won't because he's so analytical it's scary, he'll have to deal with a lot of "Teen Mom" scenarios, as well as the fact that: Who is going to teach the newborns? The other kids? The adults? Who? There are so much that I can't even attempt to fix them.

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

There must be an awful lot of teen pregnancies in the show's world.

Well, in the Growing Around world, "Teen Mom" probably would run longer than The Simpsons, SpongeBob, and Family Guy combined.

According to the episode where Linda gets bad grades, the parents go to school to learn kid things and kid knowledge.

God forbid anybody needs their appendix out in this world, because Doctor Cindy only has an "Operation" game to work from.

 

[Anchuent Dictata]

I already mentioned how ridiculous the notion is, given how it takes the average human until they're well into their twenties to accumulate the requisite knowledge to be trusted with the responsibilities of a doctor.

It's almost as if the society would require a caste system where your role in society is chosen for you at birth and you are hyper-rapidly trained in that discipline from the moment you emerge from the womb.

Jesus, even Kaminoans don't expect their clones to pick up a doctorate by the time they're five.

 

[Optimus Prime]

According to the episode where Linda gets bad grades, the parents go to school to learn kid things and kid knowledge.

Meaning that humans in this batshit universe start off as kids already inherently gifted with the knowledge of how to run society, which they lose upon attaining adulthood without any transition whatsoever since teenagers don't exist even in concept, but somehow they need to go relearn that shit for some asinine reason anyway?

Like, literally the only fucking example I know of in any kind of fiction that even remotely resembles this idea is Lyra from the His Dark Materials series (which really took a nosedive in the second book when it became a massive ego stroker for atheism) in that she inately knows over a hundred thousand possible meanings based on a pocketwatch telling the future based on vague pictures and the number of times a clock hand spins between pointing to each number - something shown to be a feat a guy who has been doing the same thing for decades needed to consult manuals the size of a newborn baby like DnD rulebooks to acomplish - and at the very end of the series she discovers she suddenly doesn't know jack shit about how to make the magic 8-ball stand in work anymore, resolving that she'll regain that knowledge (even though at that point she's also unintentionally destabilized her entire civilization more or less).

God forbid anybody needs their appendix out in this world, because Doctor Cindy only has an "Operation" game to work from.

No, they're all gonna die from scurvy because they're not gonna eat their fruits and veggies.
