>>8252 >How did he negotiate to keep the rights to EEnE when show pitching anyway? If I had to guess, abusing the fact that he has his own studio based in Canada and thus using Canadian law while negotiating.
>>8268 That sounds incredible, AND Canada funds certain animation productions too? Cartoonists there have it really damn good!

NO GHANDI. JUST.
>>6596 >>8252 I feel the series that ended the best was Courage the Cowardly Dog, since it didn't have a finale per se but rather an episode where the whole family is happy instead of having Eustace being dead or tortured with half the farm destroyed.
>>34382 Ed, Edd n' Eddy ended pretty good. It capped things off with a movie and ended with the Eds finally getting accepted by all the other kids in the Cul-de-sac.

>>2666 >>34381 >Won't bring him back because he's depicted as a flawed hypocritical freedom fighter <Will remain unused now that Gandhi's dark side has been echoed by the progs
>>34481 What did Gandhi do now?
>>34486 No seriously what? Racism? Qhich he rewoked later? When will they do that with george floyd because he was a transphobe.
>>34486 He wasn't a progressive cosmopolitan middle class liberal in 1950s India
>>34486 >>34540 He was openly pedophile?
>>34540 >>34586 Ghandi beat his wife and son, that's at least what everyone said.
>>34486 He hated niggers, because he had the unfortune to go school with them. Whole thing blowed up because some of his private letters got found where he compared them to animals.
Nice character design bro, this is one of the crew members on the CH reboot, guess his politics.
>>35396 Sucking dick and looking like an old woman?
>>35396 Every fucking time with these narcissistic pieces of shit.
>>35396 Just like in the Animaniacs reboot where they drag down one of the animators breaking the 4th wall for the millionth time, she looked what I expected she'd look like.
>>35396 Oh god is this guy(?) fucking the Total Drama Island character designer?
>>2649 Is it true the real reason why it sucks is because of the executive producer, Erika something? The same dyke who gave Borat a sequel.
>>35493 A video I watched on the new season seems to point the finger at new writers who didn't get that the show was a parody of teen dramas and ended up getting invested in the relationship drama of the characters, which led to them making the new series less of a parody and more of a comedic teen drama itself. It didn't point out the producer specifically, but all the new writers on the whole, though it's possible she was also a major factor in the show's lack of quality.

>>35493 There's plenty of reasons why it sucks, most of them being that the writers and directors are all faggots with little to no experience and that love hamfisting identity politics into shit. Erica actually wrote an episode mocking political correctness in the original ffs, though shes to blame for this turd pile too considering she's the showrunner. Most of the directing and writing in the OG was done by Phil and Chris unlike this shitfest where they're nothing but fucking producers, the good Hollykike old bait and switch. Gandhi not being in it also sucks and the new characters are all shit, look like shit to the point even zoomers hate it, and are annoying to look and hear. It all screams of corporate meddling and new blood shoveling their faggot shit into an old IP. I understand that teen dramas aren't popular anymore, but then again, this shit shouldn't have been made in current year anyway, it was a product of it's time and should have stayed that way. No one new is going to watch this and everyone old is going to hate it, it has no demographic and is even deader than the OG.

>>35554 >I understand that teen dramas aren't popular anymore, but then again, this shit shouldn't have been made in current year anyway, it was a product of it's time and should have stayed that way. How long until they go after Mission Hill? Funnily enough it got shitcanned due to teenager soap operas. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=oJGCYF2s_PI
>>35595 Mission Hill is hipster Gen X cancer, so it would just double down on it's faggotry while shitting all over it's decent writing. Even Duckman would be a pale sad imitation if it was done today, gutless, with no edge and no balls.
>>35597 It's been a long time since I've watched it but didn't Mission Hill make fun of the Hipster Gen X crowd, the exact type of people who went on to head the animation industry and give us all of the lazy, formulaic, uninspired and uninteresting stuff we have today that's a result of them wanting to rebel but not knowing how because all they do is side with the in-group to leech off their success?
>>35598 It satirized it, but it was also part of it.
>>35554 >I understand that teen dramas aren't popular anymore, but then again, this shit shouldn't have been made in current year anyway, it was a product of it's time and should have stayed that way. No one new is going to watch this and everyone old is going to hate it, it has no demographic and is even deader than the OG. Teen dramas changed and are still around. Dawson's Creek got replaced by the original iteration of Gossip Girl and Vampire Diaries. They got replaced by Thirteen Reasons Why and Riverdale. These two got replaced by the new Gossip Girl, Sex Education, and Euphoria. New generation of clones should be like the characters in Euphoria. Degenerates and narcissist who feel sorry for themselves. They create their own problems and are too dim to realize that. That would make for an interesting contrast against original cast that was far more quaint. Especially if both groups would clash. Original cast could be horrified by new clones' degeneracy. Meanwhile, new clones could be upset by the original cast not being PC enough and too out of touch. But that's too much to ask. Too many people in entertainment are way too PC to try that. Ones that aren't are afraid of being tarred and feathered. What's worse is that creators do not even have to go that far. Flashbacks from Euphoria, voice overs that leave no room for interpretation, and Rue overdosing so often it becomes comedic are very easy to mock and politically neutral. So is pointing out how these shows can't go an episode without showing flopping dicks, plots getting increasingly edgy to the point of self-parody, and overuse of flashy camera work. >>35598 >>35599 It was definitely part of it but the show very frequent potshots at hipsters and gen-x hypocrisy. I re-watched it recently and was surprised to see something like that. In fact, the hipster tendencies and hypocrisies are the main target of jokes in the show. Practically no one mocks their own side today.

>>35630 I don't even think the creators of this shit are super SJW types. This whole fucking thing just smells of rushed out tax writeoff and corporate meddling.
>>34486 Ghandi beat his family, hated blacks, and had young women prostrate themselves for him while begging him to fuck them as "tests of faith" as he went around the country. However, Ghandi wasn't brought back this time because the creators might have been afraid of another hunger strike due to Indian nationalists being against the series' depiction of Ghandi. The original series was cancelled because of hunger strikes outside of the studio, and the creators confirmed Ghandi won't be unfrozen until a hypothetical season four.

>>35722 This Gandhi situation should've been a warning to anyone who wanted a reboot: >blind worshipers >pulling the plug because they hurt their fee-fee's
>>35781 The same Indians wouldn't give a shit nowadays, they would probably like it.
I have just checked out the second season and I gotta say, while the humor is much more hit or miss and the new characters are completely vapid, it's nowhere near the "cinematic disaster" that every breadtuber is claiming it to be. It's the kind of show that you just watch with no real emotion and occasionally smirk at. Is it just the disappointment of Clone High not adhering to its original vision anymore or are just youtubers primdonnas?
>>39082 There was a second season to the reboot?
>>39083 Yeah, they made two back to back. Apparently they're gunning for a fourth one, but I really don't see that happening any time soon. Shame, they kind of sort of said they'd bring Gandhi back from the freezer. I have watched some more of it and collected my thoughts on the two new sequel seasons, mostly because I was genuinely curious on just how skewed Youtubers' opinions can be. Overall I think both seasons are pretty much average TV entertainment. In some ways, despite the massive downgrade compared to S1, they're still leagues above whatever other "animated comedy show" (read: cartoons get violent and swear a lot) is airing these days. The objectively best aspect about the show is the animation department getting a huge monetary shot in the arm. All the scenes have something going on with them and the characters in general are way more expressive than in S1. Some of the more crazy scenes are way more fast paced than the original ever managed to be, they kind of remind me of some of the best parts about Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. This however is sometimes a detriment to the show, considering that it only really works with the cleaner designs for the characters from S1. In general, the newer characters are not only rather ugly from a design stand point, I'd say they even fail at portraying a caricature of the historical characters they're supposed to represent (pic very much related, the new Harriet is supposed to be the pink haired negress). Whenever they're on the same set as the original incidentals, it has basically the same jarring factor as seeing celebrities on the Simpsons interacting with the cartoon characters from the '80s. The only two designs that have any sort of merits in my opinion are Topher and Frida, but only in so far that they at least follow similar choices to the rest of the original cast (and in the case of Frida, that only extends to her face). It's really unfortunate as the bump in the animation quality also reflects on the backdrops being really imaginative and much more lively than in the original. The biggest issue with the sequel however is the pointlessness of it all. Clone High was airing on a network that celebrated a lot of the high school drama tropes that the show would completely beat to the death with a cartoonishly large anvil, revive and then beat to death again. The "littering is fine in moderation" episode in particular was one that I keep remembering, given how utterly retarded the moral was, but the writers managed to pick all the usual schticks associated to HS dramas and make it the natural conclusion that the protagonists would reach. Abe was the aloof, socially awkward teen protagonist, Cleo the mean girl, all the same guys populating shit like The OC. Compared to them, all the new characters bring absolutely nothing to the plot by themselves, even when it revolves around them. Frida is artsy and apparently cool, Confucious is unpopular but loaded, Harriet is just the token pink haired nigger all shows have to put in nowadays, the blonde bitch is really just Scudworth minus one. Topher is the only character with any meaningful bite to him, since he has an actual parallel that really exists in shows AND real life, a basement dweller, terminally online Twitter user afraid of cancel-culture and having to show how much more tolerant he is by being an awful person (until he embraces it himself). Most of the scenes worth watching barely even factor in the new guys, which is why the show can be either somewhat similar to the original or completely forgettable. The humor has also taken a nosedive, there are still some fun moments and nice visual gags, but the problem is that the show's pace is so fast that the jokes don't really linger on enough to meaningfully land, or they overstay their welcome. This also reflects poorly on the writing, since the lack of new personality types to make fun of also limits a lot what the characters can do, which is why the solution has been to just mix and match different characters with different social standings, Joan is the most prolific at that since she ends up with or against the entire cast depending on the episode, yet this also runs really counter to her personality. Funnily enough, Scudworth is the only memorable performance throughout the series, since he had always been a walking cartoon character among parodies of actual teenagers. tl;dr the show is passable, but no one will really even remember the other two seasons if not when talking about the absurdly long wait time between seasons.
>>39086 >second pic At least she has nice tits.

>>39086 addendum: there's also these weird mixed feelings between the new and old writers. The show has a lot of reverence for the source material and makes frequent nods to the plots and side characters from S1, however they also tend to sneer at it (especially at Gandhi, despite him not being the actual problem for the show's cancellation) if not outright hatred of it (one "gag" has Joan complaining that the original show had only one female writer and that the women in season one all depended on men's plotlines, which is really weird considering she was always considered the de facto protagonist). This also ruins a lot of the humor, since the new group writing stories seems to be more focused on playing the high school tropes completely straight, morals and all, with only a tinge of sarcasm, but in that "tell it to the viewer straight or they will say mean things to you on Twitter" kind of way. >>39087 The show is surprisingly sex positive and they've kept a lot of the more risquè outfits too. An entire subplot is about Lady Godiva loving being a streaker. There's even some giantess fetish stuff and they managed to keep both retarded Gengis Khan and deformed Marie Curie, though their roles are almost non existent.
