If Downtown was made in the current year could it still work? Has Urban life even really changed much since the 90s early 2000s?
Depends on your definition of "urban"To me, "urban" means "the wire" so poverty and black people basically everywhere.
>>150407189This just made me think about how desensitized to porn I am in this day and age and how much more relationships in cartoons went beyond sex and gooning.
Instead of mooning by sticking their bare asses against the subway glass, Chaka and Mecca would filming a Tiktok on their way to a BLM protest while yelling at some old man for not giving up his seat for them.
>>150407189Jen has an OF cosplaying Ember Island Katara
>>150407189No, it's changed a lot. At least half of the cast would be speaking in a mix of zoomer slang and ebonics.
>>150407589>take that and double it >Attempts to speak in emoji
Jen get ipad
Why does no one lewd Chaka?
>>150407684It’s weird, Jen is a bitch but is hot as fuck to me, but Chaka is a bitch and it turns me off. Just unpleasant. Meccah is cool though.
Infrastructure being run down and third world outside the 10 or so square blocks where the rich people work and live. Rampant crime on par with the 70-80sRace relations at their lowest point in decades with constant crippling social strife and the concept even being monetized (BLM mansion scams etc)Muh hustle and bustle Urban bugmenEtc
>>150407189>Has Urban life even really changed much since the 90s early 2000s?lol, lmao even.
>>150407189Everyone is somehow less lazy and yet sucks more.
The amount of retards who discovered Downtown on Tiktok and accuse every character of being misogynist is why I'm glad there won't be a revival of this show.
>>150407749Chaka also got those bugman lips
>>150407189It’s just not the same. Downtown captured that kinda urban “hangout” feel, young aimless gen Xers hanging out at coffee shops and bumming around the city. Not that there’s zero examples of people doing that now but since social media and smartphones took off it just doesn’t really exist in the same way. Jen a cute tho.
>>150407882At least they can't cancel or harass irl Goat anymore.
>>150408856RIP to the legend
Bump
>>150408856> UNDERAGE MIDGET PORN
>>150407200The Wire could have an animated series
>>150407242Downtown made you realize that?
>>150407189>If Downtown was made in the current year could it still work?It would probably have to be a slightly different type of cartoon. If it's in NYC, it'd pretty much have to be mostly in the outer boroughs. I don't think it's impossible though, I think zoomers do crave slice of life cartoons about a cast of likable city dwellers. That's sorta why shows like Wastelandia exist.>Has Urban life even really changed much since the 90s early 2000s?Yes and no? Yes, it's way more unaffordable and most people who are in their 20s and don't have a big bank account have to either live in lower cost edge neighborhoods and in some cases the suburbs. No, in the sense that city life is still appealing to people in their 20s and 30s and the same types of people tend to congregate in these cities.Also, obviously the smartphone has changed the way people socialize, so there's that difference. Sincerely, I do think We Bare Bears did actually integrate this new aspect well into their episodes where the Bears explore the city.
>>150407189thiccums
this is probably the closest you're going to get
>>150412548Good joke
>>150410269For what reason?
>>150407189If downtown is based on NY, does that mean that Mission hill is based on Seattle and San Francisco?
>>150413210Society
>>150413965Ah, makes sense.
>>150407189Alex wouldn't have a job job market sucks
>>150407189>If Downtown was made in the current year could it still work? Totally, what made it so charming was the realistic dialogue and the way it was performed
>>150412548The show itself isn't as bad as I thought it would be, plus I think Adam Driver's character was entertaining to watch.
>>150414740the fact that they got real teens to perform the voices had a lot to do with the show's unique feelmusic would be way more expensive now because those artists have gotten more well known thanks to being spammed on MTV back in the day
>>150407189Bringing back Downtown and then having a NockForce show and an Octopus Pie show would probably cover this genre pretty well for viewers
>>150407882didn't happen
>>150407189>>150414740Maybe the dialogue would still work, but everything else? Not so much.- New York isn't "gritty yet adventurous" feel anymore. It's completely sanitized due to gentrification. - The cast couldn't afford to live where they lived in the show. - The 2020's are not as comfy as the late 90's and early 2000's. NYC itself changed so much after 9/11.
>>150415431Shut the fuck up idiot
>>150415476>I have never lived in NYC the post
>>150415570>t. has never left Oklahoma
>>150415431I don't see it being massive, I saw a few reels on instagram. Though they obviously didn't know what the show was really about and assumed Serena was the main character and projected every fuckboy that ghosted them onto Alex. It's funny.
>>150415830They did the same thing with Clone high with Joan and Abe. It's weird.
