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

[MrJokerRager]

I guess Bugs and Tom usually played off each other.

And I forgot how feminine cartoons used to be.

Some American Dad stuff.

so I'm watching the drawn together episode
Wooldoor Sockbat’s Giggle-Wiggle Funny Tickle Non-Traditional Progressive Multicultural Roundtable....and for those unfamiliar the episode involves a kid's show about progressive ideals leading to a future where the whole world's gone completely gay save for a small group of "normal people" leaving in the fringes and ruins the old society...


Now I'd like to remind you all that the episode aired in 2006, was written to be as over the top as possible and was a satire on public access children's television.


Anyone else feel like what was meant to be satire once has become a sick reflection of reality now?

No, since China etc. still won't air shows with explicit homosexual overtones or will cut or edit scenes with such content if they can.

That's the saving grace, not every country's going woke like us.

Remember when this was a joke about a perverted, sexually harassing male? Now it would be considered transphobic to suggest that an obvious man who claims to be a lesbian isn't, and he has to get his cock sucked. Any woman who refuses is a bigot who needs to be raped.

Don't call it a grave. It's the future you chose.

Yes, that's the crazy, fractured world we're living in.

 

[Oats12345]

OK there is so much to unpack with this. First the line up for Nick reeks of soullessness. A baby shark show a rugrats reboot and two Spongebob spin-offs while they pull a Disney plus and boot two episodes from streaming.

The current CEO also reeks, of soy and tds and it's just fucking embarasing.


If I have anything good to say it's this, while they've pulled two eps of Spongebob from paramount plus, they've also added of all things kablam to it. I think a few eps or sketches might be missing, most definitely the Angela anaconda ones but it's nice seeing a nearly lost piece of 90s Nick uploaded to an official service (even if like ren and stimpy you're better off watching the missing eps/segments online

Almost all ceos of current companies are soyboys saddly.

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

In the spirit of the season why not enjoy this classic Nelvana special with Garrett Morris and Catherine O'Hara?

And I forgot how feminine cartoons used to be.

Spidey and Cat's will-they-or-won't-they thing sure brings back some fond memories, I watched that show and X-men a lot as a kid (also Black Cat's fine abs ,)

Meanwhile, this is what "romance" is like in a superhero cartoon for "adults" NOW

I mean, the whole Harley/Ivy thing existed before, but jesus the writing is absolute tumblr level of cringe and it actually got praise for "realism". 90s cartoons with all their cheese had more mature dialogues than this.

And when will they fucking stop trying to make Harley likeable and shoehorning her into everything? I miss when she was just a fucking psycho obsessed with Joker who only got her degree because she fucked somebody.

Quite honestly I miss her old design.

 

[Michael Wade]

Anybody seen Invincible on Amazon? Seems pretty fucking hardcore.

 

[Yamma Damma]

Quite honestly I miss her old design.

Yeah. Back when she was in an actual costume that masked her identity and matched her name and theme of her boss. Not the new "costumes" where she looks like the crazy bitch the biker gang stranded at a hot topic. Of all the things modern capeshit has ruined, a good costume design is in the top 3.

Cool they made my favorite comic a cartoon

Oh yeah, surprised there isn't a thread up already.
We're in for a fucking ride and nearly every change they've made has been for the better, so I am legitimately excited over this.

Ayy.

I watched the first four episodes of Invincible. Pretty neat, I can't wait for the next episode.

What do you think of Nolan? He seems to be the biggest subject of discussion from the show for very obvious reasons.

I think that there is nefarious plot behind his actions at end of episode one. I don't know anything about the Invincible story outside of the episodes I watched, but I don't buy his backstory. Perhaps he was sent to conquer Earth? I don't trust him.

Seems to be everyone's thoughts about him. He was fantastic in episode two.
