On a scale of 1 to 10,how utterly retarded and out of touch was Nickelodeon for choosing Fanboy and Chum Chum over Adventure Time?
9.766666663
look at the original pitches and you tell me
Comparing the pilots, Fanboy looked like the right choice, but if the AT pilot was Slumber Party Panic it'd be no contest.
>>150172272Nick had a CGI cartoon fetish back then.>Tak and the Power of Juju>Back at the Barnyard>Penguins of Madagascar>Fanboy and Chum Chum>Planet Sheen>Kung Fu Panda: The Series>Robot and Monster>TMNT 2012>Monsters vs Aliens: The SeriesOnly a few of these were any good.
>>150172299Fanboy looked decent in 2D style
>>150172272Fanboy and Chum Chum was better.
Sad fact: Fanboy and Chum Chum was one of many cartoon that got championed by Fred Seibert, meaning that it has the same prestige as the Cartoon Cartoons, Fairly OddParents and Adventure Time.
we've got a bot problem
>>150172272F&C fit the nickelodeon branding more than AT. They couldn't have known it would be super popular, and it likely wouldn't be the same show if nick did pick it up.
>>150173147>it likely wouldn't be the same show if nick did pick it up.This. They would have fucked it up.
>>150172272Adventure Time if had been a Nickelodeom show>farts>silly slapstick humor>ice king torture porn>princess foot>skippable theme song
>>150173215But that's just Adventure Time
>>150174272The theme is kino toughbeit
>>150172354Nope
>>150173215Adventure time had that episode where Finn got turned into a foot. Weird.
>>150172272Fanboy and Chum Chum had better drafts and concept art for Nick to choose it and no matter how successful Adventure Time would have been with Nick, it would have still failed to meet Spongebob ratings and got canceled after two seasons anyway (though Adventure Time had really bad season rot and it's better to be a classic that dies early instead of seeing yourself become slop). It's sad Nick is still mindbroken from having no hope in Spongebob initially and that the Loud House is one of the few cartoons that could rival Spongebob ratings.
>>150172272over 9000
>>150172272Haven't seen it since it first aired, but this is an easy indicator of Fanboy & Chum Chum's quality
>>150172272Adventure Time would have struggle to get two seasons on Nick.
Fanboy and Chumchum atleast had an interesting world to work with but had shit execution. If they tried to focus more on the fandom/superhero aspect instead of doing fuck-all it probably wouldn't be so critically panned.
>>150172380do we?
>>150176527It's been 16 years. Move ON already
>>150172272I liked it
>>150177933Kys
>>150172272 I disliked it
>>150172272I have no strong feelings one way or the other
>>150172272I feel that the only "legacy" fanboy and chum-chum has, aside from failure, is people realising that a character from a thing shares the same VA as chum-chumthat's the only 2 times I ever see it brought up
>>150180292I LOVE her!!
>>150172272it's easy to take decisions in hindsight, dipshit
>>150172272They're both terrible cartoons, but how could Nick have foreseen so many retards gobbling up Adventure Time's shit
We've been over this a hundred times, the pitch bible Pen gave to Nick for Adventure Time was notoriously amateur while Fanboy and Chumchum's was extremely professional. No network could have thought that someone turning in the mess of scribbles for AT was the one presenting the bigger hit of the two.

>>150172272you'd think people would be more grateful about this fact rather than be outraged. if adventure time was on nickelodeon back then it would have just been killed off half a season in because of nu shitbob
>>150172380Have we?
>>150172380WILL we?
>>150180907same, great and underrated VA
>>150175684pingas
>>150172380Wait a minute, is this bot thread?
>>150181224You'd think they'd have a psychologist on staff to remind the suits that kids like characters that they can draw. To this day, I still like Sonic the Hedgehog only because I learned how to draw him and would doodle him in the margins.

I didn't watch much F&C, only some random episodes sometime while they were airing.I don't think it was bad (But neither that good), just an average cartoon. When I found out it was so much hated I was surprised.Why is hated?
>>150188991Same reason people hate any other show where where the main characters are annoying idiots and normal people, such as the viewers, are treated as being in the wrong for not liking them.
>>150172272I'd rather watch fanboy and chum chum over the like last 5 seasons of finn being butchered by female writers
>>150181258A tranny is way more likely to be a fan of Adventure Time. It was THE tumblr cartoon back in the day.
