Would Sidekick be better if Nelvana stuck with the funpuk style and characters?Funpuk Sidekick:https://www.youtube.com/@nikiniki9door>20 years agoJesus...
>>154847333Honestly it would be better if they got better personalities.
>>154847333it would be better if they hired a writer that wasn't a moron. There are glimpses of it being a good cartoon here and there but unfortunately they get buried under the absolute shitshow. There isn't a single likable character on that show everyone is an asshole just because. The whole premise of them being side-kicks is hardly even mentioned or god forbid explored and doesn't even serve any real purpose.

>>154847608What would a more serious reboot of Sidekick be like?
>>154847630Are you asking what a BETTER reboot of Sidekick should be like? >give everybody compassion, emotion that they clearly lack>tune up general intelligence of Eric and Trevor a little>tune up creative intelligence of Trevor a lot>instead of Trevor being a dimwit who causes trouble, better make him into a guy who can't help himself and does pranks but also feels guilty if they get out of hand too much>Eric is an orphan so explore that: make him want to prove himself to gain popularity and make him succeed in most episodes but not in the way he had planned. This also creates plenty of opportunities for him and Trevor to have more interesting dynamic.>this would be a good reason why Kitty should actually have a crush on him instead of... just because>speaking of Kitty, make her actually commit to her crush but make Eric oblivious to it, that's much more funny>Vana, oh boy... Make her Ms. Perfect but only on the surface which she actually kinda already is but make sure her ego is easily threatened and then make her act competitive about stuff and fail. Then create situations in which she has to forget about her pride and do something to help her friends. That should give her validation and patch up her wounded pride. It's much more interesting and wholesome dynamic.>also stop making Vana responding to everything with violence. It would be much funnier if she was kinda good in combat but not entirely self-sufficient>give everybody a trait that is actually needed to solve a plot once every few episodes. Like: Vana should be able to stand up for her friends if pushed to the edge, make Trevor be able to construct some crazy contraptions (like his father does, duh, it also goes hand to hand with his creativity), maybe make Kitty a master manipulator and Eric... I dunno. He is Maxum Man's child now so make his "superpower" having endless money and connectionsthere. also fuck you for making me write it down like anybody cares.
>>154847736I care, sending this to Nelvana right now. Thanks anon
>>154847748Isn't Nelvana fucking dead?
>>154847754It doesn't make cartoons anymore, now they just distribute other cartoons
>>154847766Yeah, who would have thought after their hits such like Sidekick or The Day My Butt Went Psycho... It's hard to believe their logo used to be a seal of quality to me in the 90s. Thanks for saying you care tho, it means a lot.
>>154847736There's an episode where its revealed that Vana has an older sister who mistreated her growing up and she opened up a bit to Kitty early on
It would be better if it wasn't made by Canadians in the first place.
>>154847840Yes I know about that episode. This doesn't change the fact that Vana is overall unlikable prick, so is her sister and everybody else on the show. That episode is just bad, it's only abuse "just because". There wasn't any interesting twist to it or anything. It was all just Vana taking up the ass. Not my idea of entertainment.
>>154847889I love her
>>154847902yeah I really like her expressions. Animators worked really hard on the show only for it to become such a piece of shit due to bad writing.
>>154847333>funpuk styleI actually like the designs of this era of Canadian shows. It's the writing that's the problem.>charactersYes. Comparing these shorts with the tv series, you can easily see they were nerfed.
What should the artworks I commissioned from Dope in 2024 look like? He blocked me on Discord because PayPal declined my payment.
>>154847333Wait, were these done as their own thing and then got picked up or were they pilots specifically made for Nelvana?
rape... come out come out wherever you are
>>154848633Nelvana staff made it to pitch new stuff.

>>154848661OK, that makes more sense. Just thought it looked so high quality at that stage already, thought it was talented amateurs.
>Show sucks>Watch anyway because Denise Oliver and Stacey DePassCanada had me figured out. I want to sketch their characters again.
>>154848633Nelvana created an anthology series called Funpak that showcased a bunch of internally made shorts. They would have viewers vote on their favourite, which would be developed into its own series. Sidekick actually lost the viewer vote, but was the only one to go to series.This is what won the vote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFmYZtK8jfU I guess superhero Mr. Magoo didn't get execs too excited.
Why Canada has a scat fetish?
