I hate that fucking dab pose.
Every modern cartoon shoves it in, and it gets more obnoxious with every addition.

Twerking is worse, and that's been done just as much. The Roof Korean copy/pasta remains correct.

I admit I've been aware of this movie's existence for a whole week. My sister picked it on a whim cuz we were waiting for our nephews to arrive and I was there flabbergasted this thing even existed. Stone faced we watched about the first 15 minutes of it while trying to find something better to watch. The model for Woody looks even shittier than the one from that other movie from years ago and at least that movie had Timothy Omundson and a good joke every 40 minutes.
Y'know what? I'm going to tell you what I remember because holy shit, it was dull af. It opens with Woody terrorising some wannabe influencers in semi-cartoony fashion, almost kills them and uses their livestream feed to threaten the audience. A ranger tells Woody to pound sand and that he needs to learn teamwork, so he crosses the street into a camp that has teamwork written in the wooden sign. They recycled the title animation of Woody carving his own name on a tree, you can notice because his eyes look less demonic. Woody flies (like he floats) and lands on a bench where some girl I assume is important is carving wood, Woody makes an effigy of Chilly Willy to make us believe the art department cared. There, I just told you how Woody Woodpecker goes to camp and for what I saw while looking as to why they even made this movie I found that apparently Buzz Buzzard appears in it. Kiwi Movie Night entry.
I was going to make the joke that the author abandoned the story on a massive cliffhanger but turns out that the 1 year hiatus ended and now I've five issues of 'Tumblr makes Tails Gets Trolled' to read.
Back when Season 1 had the meme that Gigi (Norville's gf) was Scooby I had the idea that they were going to do that but with the whole gang and fuck it up. Norville becomes Fred, so the whitest black man on Earth becomes our precious trap lover. Daphne becomes Shaggy, to engage in the druggie lifestyle and get bitches the way Shaggy does. Fred becomes Daphne, because toxic white male becomes girly stereotype and loves it. Mindy Kalling becomes Scooby, trapped in a hell where only her previous drugged lover can understand her. And the killer becomes Velma, constantly driving the rest of the gang of course to taunt Kalling.
How the mighty have fallen. CN was cool between 1994 to 2012, but it had gotten much MUCH worse

The mystery was never gonna work because it's just an aesthetic choice for a lazy 'comedy' show rather than an actual structure of the story. Random background characters being killed at the end of an episode while sprinkling us with disconnected information neither makes the audience think nor care. A mystery drums up intrigue by connecting red herrings and reveals to something the audience is actually invested in. Nobody fucking cares that a character who basically didn't exist until the reveal is now relevant.
The fact that Velma Season 2 was dropped all at once with practically zero advertising or attention shows how underwhelming the response to the first season was. Not even making Thorn's nonbinary 'Wiccan' obsessed daughter an integral character could drum up much attention.

I stopped watching TV years ago, but having looked at CN's current line-up I'd say it's pretty dire right now. You at least had ongoing series from 2012-2020 like Regular Show, Gumball etc.How the mighty have fallen. CN was cool between 1994 to 2012, but it had gotten much MUCH worse

The landscape is pretty depressing. I think CN just gave up competing with tiktok, streamers and anime for kids' attentions and started relying on nostalgia baiting with that Checkered Past block.

CN's unironically never been worse than right now, even during its worst days, it at least functioned as a semi-respectable cartoon channel, but now it's just a ghost town that occasionally tries to remind you how cool it used to be. Their last attempt at relevancy being airing the same 4 shows on Adult Swim, just reminding everyone how long gone their prime is once the novelty wore off.
Also the fact that the darkness absorbed at least one Powerpuff Girl, combined with the dead memes (animation takes a lot of time and modern memes have pathetically short shelf lives, I thought everyone figured this out?) means there was a non zero chance we could have had to see the PPG twerking again, so its probably for the best this show never got greenlit.
This idea didn't have SHIT going for it aside from the initial shock factor of everyone seeing their favorite cartoons looking all fucked up and the FNF fandom dumping glitchy effects all over on PNGs of clearly non-cn characters they found. Nobody was ever going to care about Pibby herself (her whole character arc is already in the trailer) the robin expy, or the cat villain girl she travels with.

The theme of season two of Velma, after the first season was “men suck, and especially white men suck”, is now “men suck, white men really suck, and RELIGION IS BAD AND DUMB!”

Speaking of dead memes, remember when the PPG reboot had Bubbles do No Me Gusta?
I'm glad the show hasn't gotten greenlit but I won't deny the fanbase would be a shitshow. You can look up Pibby on Youtube and it seems to be tied to FNF, Skibidi Toilet and Digital Circus's elsagate craze.

CN got hit with just the right amount of events to completely total them post-2013. Warner's multiple mergers were the death spiral for the channel as they would consistently try to adapt it to the current landscape only for Warner to get into some merger debacle where any plans were trashed.
The most well-known was around 2016, when CN and AT&T were setting up a streaming future for the network only to have all plans canceled, because, and I am not joking, Donald Trump got involved. Because Donald was mad at CNN, he put laws in place against the merger of AT&T and Warner, so plans for the app fell through and multiple shows including O.K. K.O. got canceled. Budgets were also reduced across the board, so CN really didn't have much money to invest in anything.
The second time was the Discovery-Warner merger. In late 2019-2020 all kinds of plans were set up to rejuvenate CN, yet all of which fell through due to Zaslav. Batman: Caped Crusader and My Adventures With Superman were both CN originals till David stepped in and sold Batman to Amazon, then tried to get rid of Superman via Adult Swim. I believe many other originals were either used as tax write-offs or pawned to HBO Max or other streaming giants, such as Gremlins. The only idea that seemed to come out alive was Cartoonito and its preschool line-up.
CN is a channel I genuinely feel bad for. Their downfall was more a result of the parent company and sister channels then them specifically. Too much was happening at Warner, and CN was ultimately seen as a disposable asset

It's a dead channel now. Warner gutted them years ago and just like Warner prime, they are nothing more than a collection of IPs that can just be sold off to the next mega-corp that is willing to take on Warner's ungodly debt.
Besides Cartoonito, all their content got offloaded onto HBO Max, Adult Swim or Amazon. Otherwise they were seemingly tax write-offs.

Come and Learn with Pibby was an idea that came out 20 years too late.
Nothing about it stood out other than the shock factor.
People were already sick of all the crossovers getting pushed out because Hollywood became so creatively bankrupt.
It didn't matter if this show featured an evil, corrupted version of the classic Cartoon Network characters infected by
"The Darkness." The idea itself was already tripe.
It was even worse because they planned to have Pibby go through the same tired, predictable trip of becoming a "badass" female who needed no man-warrior arc and then go out to save the universe.
Hell, that's basically what her wiki says all about her.
Even the part where they show her bleeding for the first time in an attempt to commentate, "See, this is no kiddy shit for babies. This is going to be dark!" It ironically shows how little they understood very little about the genre they were making fun of.
The real reason why you don't often see blood in preschool shows is less because people were afraid to do so.
In reality, it's because the network censors them whenever they do have blood.
Pingu had an episode where he slammed his face, which caused him to bleed.
And don't forget that Pingu is also the show introducing the Walrus.
That's what frustrates me about a lot of modern creators.
They think they can quickly mock what came before and make something better, but fundamentally, they don't understand anything about the past.

They do the same thing whenever they constantly introduce "The First Gay Character."
They've done this so many times that it has become a joke.

So basically, they got used as another disposable pawn for a bunch of bigger companies pulling the strings with every attempt to revitalize themselves either being shut down or quietly cancelled, just barely coasting off their brand recognition as the guys who used to make really cool shit?
The biggest problem with it as an idea (aside from how "the darkness" is just Aku but back when he was just mindless goop and/or that one fucked up forest,, with crossover slop and dead memes replacing his iconic and bombastic personality.) is that it the trailer reads almost EXACTLY like a Robot Chicken sketch.
