>there was no twist he really cancelled his show mid production because he was bored
>>
Based beyond belief
>>
>>153209285
best case scenario is Zach and Micheal are waiting to see how the WB Paramount merger goes and they'll go back to smiling friends than but thats just me coping
>>
>>153209285
Based if the showrunner is no longer inspired/out of ideas the show would just go downhill anyway, the world would be a much better place if all shows quit while they were ahead

Good, the freelancers were fags and deserve this

its a good thing though, he couldnt be bothered and didnt try to act like he cared. if anything its the bravest move you can do.
>>
I respect cancelling a project you no longer feel passionate about, but I feel kind of icky not knowing what will happen to the people who made this their whole job only to be cut loose cause the creators effectively got bored

I got the feeling Smiling Friends would be ending soon after seeing that episode with the mole man who's obsessed with the Smiling Friends and knows all their daily habits. That seemed less kooky or playful and more like they were hinting that this show was becoming too routine and too predictable for them, as if the format of the show itself was trapping them. They're both paranoid about not wanting to have this be "their show" forever like Matt and Trey with South Park.
>>
>>153210274
i like this in theory, but they barely bothered to actually break formula they established. if something like this was the case, i’d be bothered they spent most of season 3 retreading.
>>
I don't know why these twitter retards believed this was some elaborate ruse in the first place.>but he lies on oneyplays as a joke!!!

>but-but he lies on oneyplays as a joke!!!

There is a massive difference between a bit on a youtube video and a serious announcement that you're wrapping up your TV show with a multi-million dollar corporation.
>>
>>153210315
Said corporation also just so happened to love pulling pranks and surprising its audience. It was the perfect recipe for a copium overdose.

I can't believe they were able to weasel out of a 2 season order like that. Never seen anything like it. They must not have paid for it yet because there's no way they would've been let out of that contract otherwise.

What a weird situation. Zach is lame for burning out after 27 eleven minuters. Every other /co/ creator went a lot longer.

Which is ridiculous because what's the problem with having a successful tv show?

They get to put Smiling Friends on their resume, and if they can't get a job off of that then there are no jobs to be had and they're fucked regardless

100%, i hate to say AI will take over but i think most modern cartoons are resourced to people half the world away who draw for a living,
>>
I think it was because they started their own studio to have more control over Smiling Friends only for WB to say no. WB gave them the option to close it down or else. Zach and crew walked away.
>>
>>153210419
Family Guy destroyed Reddit Horseman.

Simpsons destroyed Reddit Friends.
>>
>>153209640
I like Zach but yeah. Wouldn't be surprised if this is his only good show, even popularity wise too. WB/AS seem to give them an opening to come back to make more Smiling Friends, so there's that if their other shows fail.
>>
>>153210551
lol no
>>
>>153210578
Yeah they did. Now all that's left is for some other show to BTFO Reddit Park.

You’re not going to get that unless Matt and Trey die or Paramount suicide bombs the show along themselves

My cope is that because of the potential merger they were offered Season 4 and 5, but with a reduced budget so they said no.

They could have at least put together a finale. Anyways, GLORY BE TO SPACE KING!

Good. I can't stand "woe-always-me" shows about showbiz, because if they were honest, it would be an endless cavalcade of sexual assault, "(s)he fell down an elevator shift, onto some bullets," and liberal hypocrisy. At least Family Guy would strongly insinuate such things.

Or another show can make fun of them

And his fanboys will treat it as some admirable feat because he "avoided seasonal rot" or some shit despite agreeing to a 4th and 5th season less than a year ago. Zach's fans are fucking mental

Watch the Shigloo vid. Was run like a fucking clown show and staff werent told until it was already over. Hired teenagers to take on directorial roles. Somebody got asked to quit school to take this job just to be laid off 2 months later

>>153216352
he literally lost everyone their jobs lol
the only reason anyone is calling it based that his show lasted 2.5 seasons is because he kept acting like there is some rule that being cancelled early is cool now because he said so
its like in billy madison where he acts like pissing his own pants is cool
>>
>>153209349
michael has YOLO anyway. wonder what zach plans on doing next.

>>153216391
Also proved to networks in the future that he is fine to promise 5 seasons and flake out half way in. South Park has a lawsuit going right now about them failing to deliver on promised episodes.

If it got cancelled after 1 season people were going to act like that was based too. Cult of personality.

Good for them. As I grew older, I grew to appreciate when things just end in a decent way instead of overstaying their welcome.
>>
>>153216391
I don’t know the guy but I can believe he means it about wanting it to end now because it’s his baby and possibly is out of touch enough to believe nothing else matters
>>
>>153210765
I'm assuming the person who drew that comic IS a tranny, though they drew themselves hideously ugly instead of as an anime cat girl, so it might be an actual woman, but women can and do hate trannies more than anyone else because they're basically forced to have to accept them. there was a situation a few years ago where there was a women's pool tournament, and BOTH of the finalists were men wearing dresses. trannies use "woman" as a costume, like how you'd dress up as spiderman on halloween. trannies do not behave like real women, so it makes it all the more obvious that they're just doing it to get benefits they don't deserve.

He's living his own life on his own terms and you just have to deal with it. That's based.
>>
>>153210304
Not wanting to be tired of the formula in the future doesn't mean they were bored of it yet. Better to quit while it's still fun rather than when you become a joke and a self-parody like the South Park or Simpsons people. Or get your show stolen like with Rick & Morty.

Simpsons lost that exchange.

"eh I'm bored now"

I think (((Adult Swim))) saw his indian jokes and the "certain group of people" joke and told him he's shut down, much like World Peace. I didn't believe it at first but after seeing the Indian guy I'm now leaning towards that theory.

that's like 10 hours of ACTUALLY FUNNY shit you gotta come up with and Zack probably squeezed so much blood out of the comedy stone that the juice is no longer worth the squeeze.

>>153222442
modern 4chan is almost exclusively filled with obsessive bunkertrannies and the like who spend their day making threads where they try to strawman a non-existent person they thought they argued with years ago
they lack theory of mind like autists, but unlike autists they aren't smart enough to construct one through careful analysis. this is typical of narcissists and other cluster b "people".

It's probably not true in this case but it's not outlandish. Some jeets wants the show to be nuked for making fun of jeets, but can't pull a specific episode because he doesn't want to admit to being an oversensitive little bitch.
Compare to Jews, who will freely admit to the fact that they think it's unacceptable to make fun of them but everyone else is free game.

Basically this. Zach has come across as someone that the people with the money will be hesitant to hand over the resources to again knowing how flaky he can be.
