Feel like this series shouldn't have never been one of Cartoon network's most prominent and popular shows because it doesn't do anything at all, does it have full-on action like Samurai Jack, The designs of the characters are not will design and cute like in the Powerpuff girls, The show is not half as funny as something like Ed Edd n Eddy or Cow and Chicken, the show doesn't do pop culture references well like in Johnny Bravo, it doesn't set the atmosphere or giving you a chilling fear of horror like Courage, I know all the show is is just a arrogant egocentric asshole child and one boring location what should I say is his so-called "laboratory"but he spurts out about his annoying stupid Jerk Ass Homer Sister doing the same Tom and Jerry bullshit routine in every episode with abrupted endings that don't make any sense or neither are funny, and this shit stain of a show barely has any characters like the rest of the shows, these guys don't even have them last names, WHY IS THIS SHOW CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED, I can't believe it jumps out such a creative in the industry like Genndy Taratokovsky if it was any other creator this would a bomb their career hard.

Naw I rewatched recently and it's hands down one of their top ten shows
>Funny
>Great sound effects
>Two mini cartoons that are just as good if not better than the actual show
>Thicc mom/Funny dad
>Ego Trip AND Last But Not Beast for finales
It really doesn't get much better as far as kids shows go. For me it was the monkey episode with the Orsen Welles ape
>>
Man, I used to love this show but when you put it that way I actually hate it.

Jimmy Neutron better.
>>
>>154047727
I won't lie, The Simpsons could use more jerkass Homer. It's just too bad they don't even allow him to choke Bart anymore.
>>
>>154047722
The show legit does not age well as an adult at all people only like it because it was the only cartoon that combined in comedy with fantastical science fiction elements that The only action-oriented toy shows do in the '80s, The one other cartoon started copying and they did it leagues better like Jimmy neutron and The Fairly OddParents two Nicktoons that I feel like mob CN hard besides SpongeBob, so just doesn't have a overall consistent universe like those shows it's just two characters bumbling around and excuse for gags and nothing more like what is Dexter's hometown name, what is the lore and the world building of Dexter's world shit just exists because it existm
>>
>>154047824

That show is serious turbo autism. Yin Yang Yo's a significantly better show since it didn't overstay its welcome and had some of the same writers as FOP.

Not really.
>>

It truly is Jimmy Neutron has actual world building, characters that actually development ( see Jimmy and Cindy's relationship develop ), actual inventions that were fun and creative and and not just design and created by the people for excuse for gags and jokes from like with Dexter, sure visually I will admit that Dexter is a little bit better but I feel like the CGI of Jimmy Neutron has this charm, AND GUESS WHAT THE ACTUAL MAIN CHARACTER HAS A LAST NAME
>>
>>154047824
>what is the lore and the world building of Dexter's world shit just exists because it existm
It's a fucking CHILDREN'S COMEDY CARTOON!!!
>>
>>154047897
True a show about two rabbits that has two color genders that's doing kung fu is such an uninteresting and racist premise for a show compared to something like a relatable 10-year-old boy that's miserable but blessed with two magical fairy godparents that he can make a wish on any command and at least to fun chaos and life lessons
>>
>>154047916
You say this but Jimmy does this and it's a children's cartoon as well same with Johnny test even though it was lesser quality
>>
>>154047822
Current Simpsons may Homer too nice were the point of the character that he was supposed to represents late '80s to early '90s Boomer Fathers that will always angry after sons who wouldn't act right accordingly

>and racist
LOLWUT? Yin calls Ultimoose a sexist in the very first episode.
https://youtu.be/PMVCVqARHLY?t=254

Dexter's Lab is just a weird show when you think about it. It's mainly just a bunch of random ass skits and the lab part is mainly just a back drop. I think that's also what makes it good because it just doesn't care about morals or a message, it's just goofy fun that still somehow stays pretty grounded even when they have to use deus ex endings.
>>
>>154048046
The show's sexist in a way they even butch harm and can't even comprehend like literally after the scene she actually wants the pedicure
>>
>>154048080
>I think that's also what makes it good because it just doesn't care about morals or a message, it's just goofy fun that still somehow stays pretty grounded even when they have to use deus ex endings.
Shouldn't be doing goofy fun cartoons with the science fiction genre, The genre itself is made to explore complex themes and emotions by using futuristic concepts like advanced science space travel, and also time traveling, you shouldn't be used for Looney tune type comedies that relies on gags and funny HB sound effects, Genndy improve this in samurai Jack which is a huge step above they show obviously even though it is science fantasy more than science fiction, there's a difference

Yeah, I get your point that Yin calling Ultimoose a sexist was undermined by her immediately rushing to the dojo's manicures. HOWEVER, there's a counterpoint to the joke, where Yang also wants a manicure because it has the word "man" in it. Also

Even PIEGUYRULEZ hates Dexter's lab, back in 2021 saying like it's the most unreakable cartoon TV when he washed it for an award podcast he did
>>
I watched it recently and I was honestly shocked at how racist it wasn't
>>
>>154048509

That guy has shit opinons and spreads misinformation. He's largely the reason why people thought that SB spinoffs of any kind were spitting in Hillenberg's grave.
>>
>>154047821
Dexter's an insufferable genius but at least he doesn't insist on always calling salt sodium chloride.
>>
>>154048351
You dilate to prevent that from happening to yours.
>>

You chose a good description, but not for the right character. That would be Dee Dee.

The only problem with the show is how inconsistent it is. Outside of the family and Mandark everyone and everything changes / episode since there's no clear vision. But despite that it's a good show even after the art style change (except 1-2 eps). Jimmy Neutron is a superior Dexter btw.
>>
Dexter was legendary, and only beanslop-loving loretrannies think otherwise cause adventure time made them think cartoons should be lesbian therapy sessions.
>>
>>154048730
>>154048700
Both are insufferable which makes them not great care Now that's at all and makes the show not great as well
>>

Obsessed
>>
>>154048927
They could never make it clear if Dexter was a loser or school or somewhat average in status. Sometimes he had friends, other times he was a loner.
>>
>>154049003
Adventure Time fans are obsessed with becoming women. They never will btw.
>>
>>154048927
>there's no clear vision
Clear vision because how much the show's been rushed and production and getting crew couldn't think of a good way how to make it work at all, again no last names
>>
>>154049009
No clear vision the show just does what it wants The word exists because it exists, The point of the show is just comedy and tell him don't jokes and nothing more
>>
This is the kind of show that could use a revive btw since it was fully episodic. Just with better world and stuff.
>>154049084
Changing stuff just makes things worse. They didn't really use the available characters enough either. Some of the best episodes are the ones that don't even have the lab itself. Like when Dexter makes a robot arm for his dad.
>>
>>154049165
>Changing stuff just makes things worse. They didn't really use the available characters enough either
But isn't that part of the charm though, I feel like shows like these are not really required to have a consistent world verage of recurring characters like The Simpsons it's more in line or something like Looney Tunes or even something new or like cow and chicken where it doesn't really takes place at a pacific time or a world with its own world building and rules it's fun just for the sake of being a fun cartoon
>>

This is one of the best episodes this is why Dexter doesn't suck

Sorry OP, but this board is filled with trannies who would rather coom to endless adventure time and digital circus threads. Pretending to dislike your favorite shows isn't going to get people to discuss them.

Does a Dexter thread really need to resort to Smeet or Knullmannen to draw in them for it to last? Why Dexter's Lab of all shows?
>>

but can beat excel with a cheese ray
>>
>>154048986
It really matters on writer on if Dexter is a bastard or not. There's two different episodes in the first season where he has such polar opposite reactions to a dog, he's essentially acting as two different characters

The show or the thread?

Dexter was good at its best, but possibly the most obnoxious and grating thing ever aired on cable at its worst
>>
>>154047824
Dexter diesn't have a solid internal logic, but all inconsistencies help the jokes so who cares.
>>
>>154047700
>Ego Trip AND Last But Not Beast for finales
This is one of the biggest reasons Dexter is GOATED, not one but TWO amazing finales. Last But Not Beast serves as a great bookend for the show, finally decompartmentalizing the rest of the family and the secondary cartoons and just having some big, zany fun.

Ego Trip is a good deconstruction of Dexter's motivations as a genius, while just nailing the pacing and tropes of an action-thriller movie, and neatly compressing them into an hour runtime. It also answers the crucial, unspoken question of "what happens to the boy genius when he grows up?". Easy 10/10, I watch it all the time.
>>
>>154048986
Dexter at least has Style, he knows that there is no point at being a boy genious if you don't build a cool giant robot.

Did the revival seasons have an ending, or did the show just stop?

Destructo Disk. Low-level ki technique, but it stays situationally useful.

It's impressive how Bill Wray uses his signature painting style of creepy, detailed close-ups that made him famous in Ren and Stimpy while retaining the simplistic and stylistic Neo-UPA style of not only Dexter but also for his clown outfit design without it clashing or looking uncanny.

Dexter was kino, but Johnny test and Jimmy nerdtron were better. I also liked the Savino seasons more than genddy's so I could just be retarded.
