Any day now...

So is it a series, or just one short that's planned?

Everything John K does is so depressingly stuck in the past.

John K lives in his golden age of animation bubble.

It's less likely to happen than Half Life 3. John K is getting old.

When everything around you at the time was pretty much shittily produced shlock, of course you've gotta look to the past to make your cartoons look good in comparison.

Each passing day I'm glad I only put a dollar in so that I could download it once it was done. Can't imagine how pissed people who spent hundreds of dollars.

How a man who made very informative /ic/ blog make ugly shit who have nothing with all those protips?

Why bother with a dollar when it would leak literally instantly on Sup Forums the day it was released?

Because it was literally a dollar. I had money, so why the hell not?

Who care? It's not funny, and too tryhard.

He really needs to get over his daddy issues instead of sticking it into every cartoon he produces.

if you had of invested more wisely that dollar would now be five hundred dollars of disposable income in your bank account

if he was capable of that he would have done it forty years ago

12000 years in paint for this

and the left guy's arm isn't even layered properly lel

>those 3DCG backgrounds which looks like something out of the 90's

I'm starting to gain a newfound appreciation for all the things he considers "bland" and shit.

Back in the day when I was an edgelord angsty teen reading his blog and trying to get into drawing, he talked about Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs which had just come out and said he gave the movie a 0 out of 5 stars, which is better than most movies because they often go into the negatives. He praised the visuals but shit on everything else from story to characters calling it generic that follows all the tropes failing to realize the reason for that was because it was parodying disaster movies in general.

That was the point I realized this guy's fucking full of himself because Cloudy was amazing.

I mean let's be honest. Does this type of design even look that bad?

Remember that Ren and Stimpy short called Life Sucks that he never finished ? I was always disappointed that he never finished it, but knowing the way John does things it probably would have been butchered in the end anyway

>Implying Gaben has much more to live

Expecting anything less than Golden Age standard

Let's face it, the project is gonna get canned

was actually replying to

John was once a genius but because he never tried to learn stuff or train more he started getting bad at animation. Now his animations lack the movement, the expressions, everything Ren & Stimpy had. He has too much ego, he never gets criticism and never give a chance to new things.
Ren & Stimpy worked because he had to work within rules and with other people who helped him, like George Lucas. Now that he's free to do whatever he wants you see his true personality, a senile perverted old man who's too proud to see his errors.

Also not long ago he got hacked on twitter, and was posting porn. Probably got virus from porn sites.

What kind of porn?

a girl with her asshole spread

Yeah, this is pretty much it. He hasn't really got any talent anymore and it's his own fault.

Always been a hack

youtube.com/watch?v=TIPsTyMlpJA
Oh yeah, the whole animation was leaked already, and it's the most anti-climax thing ever

>that "ripped face" gag that was already done in shows like Billy & Mandy and Courage, with both latter shows' executions being better

Is he even trying anymore?

The """Golden Age""", while having its notable gems and all, is also kinda overrated in my opinion.

All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 was kind of iffy.

we should start ripping on john on how his modern work doesnt compare with his ren and stimpy golden age

itd drive him fucking insane

I know; I'm just talking more from a design perspective.

Nah, they looked like shit.

Eh, I thought they looked pretty average Disney, but decent nonetheless.

And yes, I'm aware it isn't from Disney.

Because output is all that matter

/ic/ are a bunch of do nothing elitists. They'll never make it.

I mean everything he does *now*.

Yeah, that post was made before I took a look at some of his more recent stuff, and as I mentioned above, it really does make almost all the stuff he constantly touts off as "bland" looks pretty fucking good in comparison.

underrated post

The worse of it is the fact that the characters on this short are uninteresting, so even if it came, probably nobody will gives a shit.

Stop trying to virtue signal, Sup Forums. One set of quotation marks is enough.

>John K was fired from Nickelodeon for constantly missing deadlines
>People are surprised that this asshole STILL can't deliver on anything within a reasonable time frame

Where should I have put my money?

1 short that's going to take 12 years to make

Who's the bigger hack, Alex Hirsch or John?

John, because Hirsch can stick to a deadline at least.

And because as far as I know Hirsch isn't a virulent dickhead.

What did Hirsch do?

As in insider dealing?

Fuck up the finale, among other things.

>has superb talent for animation and the knowledge to back it up
>Can't create anything worthwhile because he can't stick to a freaking deadline, and is pretty much blacklisted from the animation industry as a whole
> he will DIE with his only legacy being a cartoon that had the staying power of 4 years before being IMMEDIATELY overshadowed Spongebob
All of the talent and nothing to show for it. John K's existence is an artist's worst fucking nightmare.

John K is like a fire, disastrous when uncontrolled but when he is controlled he can do amazing things. He needs structure, left on his own he will constantly miss deadlines and be hindered by his own need for perfection in a craft that's strengthened by imperfection as there's never a worry for whether a character is on-model or not. He's just very arrogant.

In his early days he seemed talented, but used his talent to produce disgusting borderline scatological cartoons.

Now he's deteriorated to some addiction to movement, creating hyperactive cartoons where nothing could hold still and people's faces look like they are in terrible pain. I'm getting this impression from his Simpsons couch gag anyway.

His Simpsons couch gag looked like something he made at the last minute. Completely devoid detail and just downright lazy looking despite all of the movement put into it.

He's EXACTLY like James Harvey and a few other artists that I've seen online.
Extreme talent, but will never truly get anywhere within the creative industries because they have to rework everything they do instead of learning from the last project and moving forward. They're always stuck on the same, overworked thing.

Also they have massive attitude problems.

No man is an island, as they say.

John's fascination with grossout jokes is out of date anyway, he's still living in the 90s. The animation being made by young Millenial cartoonists doesn't do that.

what other Sup Forums related things he did?
far as i know he just has that series and a bunch of books

Mostly Gravity Falls related fuckups.

He's only 60 and Miyazaki did The Wind Rises when he was like 72.

He's a liberal so he gets a lot of grief here for that. Besides those it's just a holdover from /gfg/ when we made fun of his personal life via making ridiculous assumptions but a lot of people don't know it really is just a meme.

You're forgetting that Miyazaki actually has a thing called a work ethic. Also he's Japanese and they're like machines who have been known to literally work themselves to death.

All the same, TWR was a gorgeous movie and showed that the old warrior hadn't lost any of his skills. It's good he retired afterwards and didn't keep going past the point where he should have quit.

The thing that vaguely annoys me about John K is that he has the idea that writing-driven cartoons are inherently bad and kids can't enjoy them, they only understand poop and fart jokes.

Yet almost everyone loves Hey Arnold and agrees that the great thing about that show was that it didn't talk down to the audience.

>he thing that vaguely annoys me about John K is that he has the idea that writing-driven cartoons are inherently bad and kids can't enjoy them
Of course that stems out of his huge boner for the Golden Age and- Wait! Weren't there even cartoon writers around those times as well IIR?

Except oddly enough, he loves King of the Hill.

I thought this premiered at Annecy last year?

Damn, we get it already, John. You hate your Canadian redneck father.

John K... he screwed up

He's literally said to Mike Judge that he just doesn't think of KOTH as a cartoon but as an observationalist comedy only.

Only the very animatic shown at if I could remember

youtube.com/watch?v=PheypE68BKc

...

nice

Yep, they saw the coming of Flash/Toonboom in 1995.

John K was actually complaining about '80s shows like He-Man and Muppet Babies. One is barely-animated, the other is designed-by-committe.

Both had very little animation-as-acting. John K is all about animation-as-acting.

I believe in animation-as-acting too, but not in John K's method of achieving it.

>that's why I don't think the public has taken those characters to its breast

Of course the Simpsons conclusively disproved this idea since they had characters that became as enmeshed in the public consciousness as the Looney Toons stable, yet it's a writing-driven show.

He really was a critic who managed to get a show. Has brilliant insight but it also fucking with whatever he tries making.

John K never did like the Simpsons anyway. He also has a weird, perverse disliking of shows with pink and purple color schemes (which the Simpsons has a lot of).

>Of course the Simpsons conclusively disproved this idea
Maybe we're living in different spheres, but I don't know anybody who likes Bart Simpson or Homer Simpson as a character, or Peter Griffin or whatever. They may like the show for its jokes, but not in the same way Looney Tunes were *characters* that really resonated with the public through their personalities.

John's often been accused of having a giant ego, but he's surprisingly more humble than often assumed, for example he freely admits he wasn't satisfied with how R&S came out and "I can't stand to rewatch the show now. There's so many things I could have done better."

>Implying he hasn't already uploaded himself to Valve servers as an AI overlord
lmao

He says that about everything; that's his way of not having to answer for any of the flaws. "APC had too much toilet humor? I was FORCED to put that in!!!"

Since when did Looney Toons characters have any depth or storytelling? They were just surreal caricatures and there was no way you really could relate to or empathize with them.

>there was no way you really could relate to or empathize with them

Is this a joke?

>I don't know anybody who likes Bart Simpson or Homer Simpson as a character
Do you live in any sphere or do your imaginary friends just share you opinions?

>there was no way you really could relate to or empathize with them.
Many tomes were written about how incredibly relatable and empathetic Wile E Coyote is.
Homer Simpson or Peter Griffin might be "everyman" or "caring father" or whatever, but this is mostly achieved through pathos and writing.
Looney Tunes characters achieve pathos and sympathy through personality and acting. You don't identify with Wile E Coyote because you're a hungry canine who runs around in the desert. You identify with him because he FEELS, the same way you identify with a good actor.

Maybe. The Simpsons were more sympathetic and empathetic in the first three-four seasons, maybe then people identified with them or liked them as a character. Now they're really flat gag characters who are there to move the plot along and deliver the jokes. Best example: The Simpsons Movie.

Funny how that change in sympathy occurred simultaneously with the animation becoming more sterile.

Then you look at Ripping Friends (remember that?) or Cans and realize he's lying through his teeth.

>I don't know anybody who likes Homer Simpson as a character

Reportedly he took the money people donated for CWL and used it to pay for some badly needed back surgery. I don't begrudge him getting medical stuff done if he needed it, but he should have been honest and admitted from the beginning that that's what he wanted money for.
