>and its amazing people hate it.
I think part of it was I was at an age where I was experienced enough to understand that nobody mainstream actually understood anything about video games and any attempt to reference/mention video games would be at best skin-deep and offer nothing. And I saw the Link expy and the Pikachu expy and got turned off. I think what made it worse was it did the typical "College Humor" style subversive joke with the Pikachu expy of "What if cute thing...but not cute?!?" by making him a deep-voiced chain smoker or whatever, and I was like "Nah fuck this."

Never saw a single episode beyond maybe the first, if even that.

People were more harsh regarding weight back then, especially for women. Ironically though, I actually think people are thinner now. Now that we have achieved perfect information from making the internet ubiquitous, people are a lot more informed on dieting, exercise and beauty standards so the average individual looks better now, despite people being more forgiving towards fatties. It's a case of carrot being better than the stick.

Well yeah the "fat shaming" movements weren't really a thing back then. At the same time, most adults and 1/3 of kids were overweight, obese or worse.
>Ironically though, I actually think people are thinner now
God no, obesity is rising in an era of Netflix, ordering ubereats/Grubhub instead of using energy to actually walk outside, mental illness increasing which leads to increased food consumption and people no longer fat shaming like the 90's and 2000's.

nigga the TV was awash with edgy cartoons in the mid 2000's. I was spoiled for choice, why the fuck would I waste my time on Drawn Together? It wasn't funny nor was it well animated. It's like the adult version of... I don't know, Squirrel Boy. You watched it because nothing else was on or you forgot to change the channel, not because you actually liked it.

About as much as Wooldor is a representation of Spongebob; eh, kinda surface level but sure. I think there was a dark king or warlock as a Ganondorf stand in, and the princess looked kinda like some versions of Zelda. Xander summoning a tornado to fast travel was also pretty spot on.
>>729943404
That's not true. The movie sucked. The show started great, lost steam, and exposure to the shock humor requires the viewer to shelf it for a while before continuing or else edgy tolerance starts to build. They just couldn't keep up the energy and the wit of s1. Go back and watch it, it's very clever and understands the art of the joke; additional visual gags and double entendres or callbacks are made to densen a scene. For example, a 12 year old girl and donkey are present in many scenes of the show as Captain Hero attempted to manifest as one of the first ep's first jokes, unnamed and given no additional context in each scene. The only major issue I have with w lot of the jokes are its reliance on pauses or nothing happening for an extended period of time.
I initially thought s2 was where the cracks really started to show, but I rewatched it a bunch recently and the AIDs Walk episode was top notch. I think my younger self was noticing how much the show ditched the original premise of the reality tv angle and how 1 dimensional the characters felt as a pure sign of bad writing. I do get annoyed that Clara's queerbashing or racism went from sheltered naivete to full blown cognizant and intentional, and I do get a little annoyed at how focal Clara/Hero/Foxy were to plots, but I know realize that's less of an effort problem and more that they wrote Toot and Lingling to suck and be one-dimensional from the start. I say they lost steam because the later episodes didn't seem to have the time*effort as S1 did when they, say, wrote Clara or Foxy songs.

Honestly, our media is subjected to the exact same phenomenon that's affected humanity for forever; times are changing, morality and comforts shift, and with it what people are willing to tolerate. You wouldn't hear the word "shit" on tv until the 90s, the prudish morals that dictated standards and practices of yesteryear haven't been abandoned but shifted to other subjects.
Consider Queer Duck, an internet cartoon that was the smalltime network Icebox's claim to fame.
https://youtu.be/wImRXN5Y5-w
Would it be lambasted for being gay stereotype jokes written by a straight guy? Yeah probably, but if you don't bring the creator's identity into question this shit seems tame today, but the mom suicide joke at the end would probably have some network exec in a tizzy today, and I bet that was the one joke back then nobody gave a hsit about compared to the rest of the episode.
We will never be free or liberated by prudish censors, censorship isn't linear but lateral.
>>
>>729946715
I knew media was rigged when you could outright show decapitation, bodily mutilation, throats being slit, eyes being gouged out, people set on fire or having their entrails shown dangling out but the moment you even suggest showing an attractive, naked woman its like committing a war crime. This goes for anything now, even groups who pretend to argue in favor for freedom of expression. If you somehow showed a character like Amy Rose or Lara Croft naked you would be blacklisting yourself from media forever. Show them getting impaled or harmed in any physical manner and people clap.
>>
>>729946715
You're misidentifying the cause as the symptom. Our overton window has shifted because people came in and forced ideals onto our school children. They then grew up with those ideals, made cartoons with moral messaging THEY agreed with, which in turn solidifies and strengthens the moral lessons from school, which begin to culminate over and over and over.

It's been happening since the 60s. If you go back, you can slowly watch the overton window shift further and further away from a steady nuclear family to secularism and modern progressive politics until now when it amped up heavily.

Is this an American phenomenon? In Ireland, I see fitness culture being much bigger now than 20 years ago. 20 years ago, people ate a lot more beige oven food and only the most dedicated went to the gym.

While obesity is a concern in the first world globally, America poisons its own food with additive and preservstives. Our bread is categorized as inedible by many countries and yet its a staple of our people's grain consumption. When you eat processed foods, it genuinely feels like less of an effort, making a fistful of potato chips every 20 seconds a subconscious jerk reaction.
Poor countries produce poor products out of budget necessity, but America allows those cheap means to thrive because of how lobbiests of major corporations like Frito Lay control the legislation. Ask yourself why Right to Repair is so contentious, because John Deer and Ford have people go to Washington and lie about private repair services. Ask yourself why Stop Killing Games has given up in the US, because who's the biggest voice in the conversation about consumer rights for the biggest entertainment industry right now?
>>
>>729947062
There's a bigger separation between small and far here, with you either being a gymrat or a hog. Changes in demographics (more Hispanics) contributes to this as well since they are way more likely to be fat from childhood.
>>
>>729947018
The only thing I will not agree eith immediately is that they intended for this to happen. And by "they" I assume we mean the government, which I believe they are capable of but need more evidence to believe has happened here. I have seen the Larry Fink and Blackrock messaging, I see how industry and major corporations have dictated our culture either for trends or for selling products. Truly, they have won in creating a consumer market economy while also dismantling said economy where equivilant goods of yesterday are being priced out to the average household more and more. I suppose the "why" there isn't as touched on as could be, and that same "why" could very well be what I'm not seeing that ties your words to mine.

I grew up thinking America was unable to handle artistic nudity like Europe was in the same vein that we can't behave in Japanese bath houses. Do European countries still find nudity artistic and classy or is it all censored like the states?
>>
>>729947605
There's a number of different theories about the "why". Most people point to I believe the school of Frankfurt opened sometime around the end of World War 2 from immigrants. Some people attribute this to the Jews who do this sort of thing naturally to make the place they are trying to inhabit more receptive to them (yes Goyim, open your borders and let more of us into society!) Others attribute this to Russians who have had defectors claim that they are doing this on purpose as a way to dismantle the US as an enemy from within, and even go so far as saying that the war on Ukraine is a way for them to test the waters on how destabilized the west is. Still others point to the CIA and their initiatives to force diversity which they do have open documents indicating that they intentionally try and target mostly-white small towns to make sure there is some mixture of minorities in there with the end goal seemingly just being the sake of diversity or perhaps destabilization of the general populace making them much more easy to control and keep the government in power.

There's also another theory I would chip in I call "The Cube Theory" based on the movie The Cube. Best explained by this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boDgkH7Yw-0

Squrreil Boy was mid, that's it. If My Gym Partner's A Monkey was the budget Camp Lazlo, Squirrel Boy was its boring cousin from the sticks. Richard Steven Horvitz playing Rodney is the only thing that gave the show any sort of ADHD whatsoever, without him he's just Bloo from Foster's; selfish and disconnected from responsibility. It's no Johnny Test, and MGPaM had SIGNIFICANTLY lower hanging fruit humor. Every show can make you laugh once or twice, even modern day Garfield, but SB just lacked in every department to make it stand out, like in any way, truly mid.

MGPaM was better written than Camp Lazlo, and I'll die on that hill too.
>Has to describe the show with other shows non-stop
It was a fine show, sometimes a 'mid show' before something cooler like Duck Dodgers or a new Billy and Mandy helped make the runtime varied. It was a show that was mostly on in the morning or aired new episodes on Friday-Cartoons along with everything else.
Compare that with Teen Titans Go OR the aforementioned Johnny Test, where they ate up more than 50% of the runtime, are meh in the animation department and are written by fucking bug-men.

Again, the Squirrel Boy hate in 2020+ screams 30+ year old /co/ fag that didn't know how good they had it. It's like complaining about Juniper Lee or Robot Jones, for existing before a show you'd like.

Xandir and Wooldor were the least selfish and hatable characters personality wise and I always felt it was a breath of fresh air having them around. I didn't mind they were also crazy when the need arouse for gags or plots, but it was nice to have Xandir play the striaghtman (ironic) as someone actually nice or concerned.

They knew the movie was not going to help get a renewal for the show even if it was successful so the didn't care. Animation ironically was switched to flash for the movie.

>is a cartoon an accurate parody of a video game?
No.
I don't think it's ever happened once.
For some reason, video games are incomprehensible to the writers of all other media.
The literal closest thing that comes to mind is South Park shilling World of Warcraft. And that's not a parody of the game, it uses footage of the game.

>>729950651
Adventure Time did a special in Minecraft and it was game accurate while being animated regularly.
