John K never entered the animation industry; What changes?
>>
>>153567798
Well for one, Invader Zim never gets made. That probably has a bigger cultural impact than any of his shows not existing would have directly.
>>
Spongebob never gets made.
>>
Avatar never gets made.

Without John K.'s autism fucking things up, Nick has no reason to found it's own in-house animation studio
Rocko, and by extension SpongeBob, never gets made
Without SpongeBob, and assuming Doug still moves to Disney, Nick likely has to rely more on Klasky-Csupo for their cartoons
>>
>>153567798
Loud house doesn't get made because John K himself kickstarted Chris Savino's career.

>Whaty changes
We wouldn't have Cartoon Network nor Dexter's Laboratory.
Especially since S1 Dexter was heavily inspired by R&S
>>
>>153567798
We get Disney Channel Original Movie Jimmy Neutron
>>
>>153569956
We'd still have Cartoon Network because Ted Turner still would've bought the Hanna Barbera/MGM/Warner Bros. library without John K, but its original shows would've been radically different

Nobody picks up the reigns and animation becomes strictly Disney-related crap until nobody cares about that anymore, which they were on the verge of before the Renaissance in the 90s. Animation becomes as lame as magic tricks, radio plays, and puppet shows. People look back on the dead industry of animation and think all of what was made was just Disney and Looney Tunes, the rest is toy commercials.

Literally nobody else would've done what John K did because he not only was obsessed about making expressive animation, he built the pipeline that every other animation production emulated afterwards. Not only did he build the legs for Nickelodeon but he also helped create Rough Draft Korea, inspired Cartoon Network's pipeline, trained all of the artists who would then establish the industry or open the doors for the artists who came after Ren and Stimpy, proved that creator-driven productions work best, and invented Flash animation by working with the original developers of the software who didn't plan on it being used as an animation tool.

John K either directly or indirectly inspired most of what you see today in regards to Western animation, whether it's TV or feature film. Even Pixar artists were inspired by him in their earliest days. He was a revolutionary and his crazy behavior is partly why he knocked doors down to make Ren and Stimpy happen. Unfortunately, he ruined his legacy and could've just been remembered as a legendary artist.

There's always these guys>>153568291

And animators on MTV that would have filled that void, it would be only a different direction.
>>
>>153567798
The 80s standard would last a lot longer, Street Sharks perpetuated it at the same time Ren and Stimpy was airing to set a new standard.

The tv production pipeline wouldn’t have been reshaped, no one would have had such an insistence on inventive poses and expressions, etc etc. a lot of things he did required a special history-changing man willing to deal with endless shit from the common folk.
>>
>>153570454
None of it is accessible to a commercial audience, they were fine as one-offs for film festivals and shoe commercials

>>153567798
What if adventure time was never made?
>>
>>153570033
>We'd still have Cartoon Network because Ted Turner still would've bought the Hanna Barbera/MGM/Warner Bros.
It would have forever remained a syndication channel airing reruns of those shows instead of making og programming
>>
>>153567798
Someone else that can make deadlines fills the void.
>>
>>153567798
I agree with this >>153570499.
I believe the 80's standard would go well into the 90's.

A lot of people say that someone would fill the void, and yes of course that would be the case, but fill it with what y'know? What would be the thing that would influence and push a style and a generation of cartoonists?

I wonder if people would get more or less inspiration from anime in that scenario, given that they were still doing their own thing, likely largely unaffected by John K. The west already made use of many japanese studios at the time, mainly to handle the animations in some cases.

People act like John is one of the main reasons, in some alternate timeline Ralph would've probably trained Eddie Fitsgerald or Bob Camp and hlthey would've would've made something instead.

>People act like John is one of the main reasons
It's his show, his vision, and his ingenuity that mad Ren and Stimpy. All of you guys can't comprehend that John K both did terrible things as a person and also did incredible things as an artist.

You oversimplified his contributions and pointed to the next nearest Spumco artists to say "they could've done the same thing if they felt like it." Ralph Bakshi gave John an opportunity and it was John's values and tenacity that made him successful.

Chris Reccardi and Bob Camp were the best of the original series, and neither of them were able to do what John did. Meanwhile, John created his own productions several times after.

Nothing you see that came out after this show would have been made and no one would be hired. Execs are retarded and John fumbled the bag. But to deny him being influencal is just wrong.

Tom Ruegger and Toshihiko Masuda have alot more power in the animation industry for starters, there will be changes.

Also South Korea, The Philippines and Taiwan would be just as irrelevant as Malaysia, Laos and Thailand if John K never entered the animation industry.

No Fop which means no Camp Sherwood

Tiny Toon Adventures made alot more impact, so much so that we got Porco Rosso out of it.

>when you look at the early seasons
And then Matt Groening ruined it by going scorched-earth on any drawing that isn’t perfectly on-model. Besides it's not the best example to use when nobody was influenced by The Simpsons for its early art style, but rather for its writing.

No, that would be Toshihiko Masuda, so much so that his brother Junichi would be the one to leach off of his brother rather then the other way around like in our timeline.

>Besides it's not the best example to use when nobody was influenced by The Simpsons for its early art style, but rather for its writing.
It influenced Family Guy which then influenced every adult prime time cartoon.
>>
>>153577549
No as that would be the good timeline
>>
>>153577361
You think that it is either one or the other, or that it is down to the complexity of the animation rather than style or tone. Like consider the gross out zoom in's on Spongebob. That's a direct Ren and Stimpy influence. If anything, Spongebob is in part a counterargument to Ren and Stimpy's cynicism.

That's not a positive, Anon.

>>
>>153577516
Action shows were dying off by the late 90's due to laws against advertising to children and diminishing toy sales. Bruce Timm never takes over. The best end for Bruce Timm is Mask of the Phantasm is a mega hit and WB goes all in on action animated movies.

No, if anything Tom Ruegger and Toshihiko Masuda takes over and Pokémon never went passed Gen 1, let alone got it's anime as John K is the reason why Pokémon got a anime and became the world's number 1 IP.

I don't see why that would happen, original programming seems inevitable as the channel got bigger and they started it pretty quickly after launch. They would be very different shows though impossible to imagine at that point

Because his cartoons suck.
Notice he just lives off Ren and Stimpy and nothing else?
How is that suppose to be a role model when he can't even grow his own industry?
Say what you want about Matt Groening but at least there's something else to talk about besides just Simpsons.
