Nothing, nothing is nor will be happening

Unpopular opinion, but I'm glad it died. The less 'deepest lore shows with cancer fandoms that post all over the internet' the better.

>saw a cosplay of her at comic con a month ago

Does this mean there's a chance?

They aired it once at 6am, it's dead.

Begging for an Emmy to change CN's mind.

I hear this a lot here, out of morbid curiosity, why do you feel this way? What are the things that you like to consume?

Nothing, for now. That's how most pilots work, though. Lakewood Plaza Turbo came out in 2013, and only now, four years later, are we actually seeing progress.

It's notable that Infinity Train actually got noticed by CN so early on, but we really can't say what that means towards its future success or failure as a pilot.

Similarly, Twelve Forever released in 2015, and sometime this year we got a teaser from the creators that we would get "more" from the IP in the ambiguous future.

What that user means is that they don't like the fandoms that form around those shows (Star Vs., Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, etc.), with shipping and AUs and injokes and such, and mistakenly believes that this wouldn't happen if shows were less serialized and more episodic.

One shit pilot, and they want an Emmy?

He's dumb fuck that cares about fandoms instead of just watching cartoons.

>all over the internet
yeah right

This. Besides, the show was generic and not funny

I am not that user but i prefer cartoons to have each of their episodes be self-contained so that they can be seen in any order. Kids shouldn't have to tune in to keep up with some insipid plot, just be able to watch some TV when they can and enjoy it for what it is. Plots in cartoons are okay but the fewer the better in my opinion. Gravity Falls was the best medium between the 2 ideas of plot/anthology in a cartoon I've seen

I can understand Shipping and AU's, but what's wrong with injokes?

Why did Wendy get redrawn in a shitty art style?

But I'm not a kid, so I WANT TO BE ABLE TO WATCH WITH A STORY!
WHAAAAAA

Contrary to what you might be thinking, I don't mind media that is serialized/with lore. It's just this particular pilot/concept seems like it'd spawn a particularly annoying reception.


>mistakenly believes that this wouldn't happen if shows were less serialized and more episodic.

Well that does seem to be a trend. Pardon my generalizations.

You mean cancer fandoms aren't annoying to you?

I got porn of the main character so I'm happy

>implying a plot in ANY way interferes with a kid's enjoyment of a cartoon
fucking idiot

>>implying a plot in ANY way interferes with a kid's enjoyment of a cartoon
it sure as fuck ruined a bunch of anons' assholes when adventure time stopped being 100% non-episodic episodes

this

>100% episodic
fucked that up

You were talking about kids, not Sup Forums "adults"

Fandoms don't form around stories, they form around likable/shippable/relatable characters. You even see fandoms forming around shows like Invader Zim and Ed Edd n Eddy which had only the loosest hints of plot progression that never came to fruition.

Gonna be real here, the show has potential. With better animation and more expanded concept it can work.

People complaining about the fandom are idiots, I watch and love shows and games that have terrible fandoms, I just avoid them. EZ PZ

One thing for sure, this thing has only one or two seasons of workable ideas before it gets stale, so if they produce the show they must go full one and finish it quick before it turns into shit. Having an over expanded world with infinite possibilities is cool for imagination but also risky since you can start to go the wrong way and make it less intriguing and predictable with each episode.

I really wish to see it become a full show, simply to see if it can pull its character off in long term.

What did he mean by this?

I like how main character was looking out for herself and didn't just jump to be a hero, but wasn't a complete bitch either. Made her interesting for once.

I'd like to see the story continue. Didn't the corgi king got posted on some promo art recently?

Cancer fandoms are a fact of every popular cartoon, lore or not.

this...kinda. I just can't take more lore shows. There's too many shows that focus on story arcs or regular shows that became story arc heavy shows.

But this approach only serves to enforce the "cartoons are for kids only" prejuidice, as it makes it harder to have any actual character development and to tell a story with a coherent setting.

I'd say some popular shows get less cancerous fandoms than others. I just don't particularly like the kind of fandoms that stem from these kinds of shows. I'd honestly take the waifufaggotry of more episodic shows than the annoying 'this is the deepest story ever' pretentious douches.

>implying that adult cartoons don't have episodic natures.

Stories with coherent settings/ or simple episodic formats don't cause/change the stereotype. The stereotype is more ingrained with what creators and society feels is acceptable to be shown within either format. There have been plenty of cartoons in the past before 'deepest' lore with continuity in both episodic and arcing narratives.

Even the Rugrats movie was animated in Korea.

In a weird way, lore-heavy shows feel rather lazy with how the stories are told. They expect the overarching story to be the primary draw for the series, so individual episodes are allowed to be poorly written from a standalone perspective so long as said episodes have SOMETHING to move the grand plot along. These kinds of shows often fail to maintain fairly consistent quality, and for every really good episode there are like four or five mediocre episodes.

Furthermore, lore shows are rarely done well because writers for the shows usually never have anything planned. They have IDEAS, certainly, but in a show that is intended to have a beginning-middle-end structure, the end is usually made up as the show goes along and is almost always at odds with what the beginning promised. This type of storytelling works if you're playing a tabletop RPG, but in a traditional storytelling medium it's annoying to watch plot points brought up in early episodes completely and utterly ignored and even contradicted in later episodes.

Finally, lore shows are annoying because of how audiences interact with them. You remember how comic creators tried to distance themselves from looking "childish" by rebranding their works as "graphic novels"? That's what lore shows feel like, they feel like cartoonists hate the idea of working on something traditionally considered "kid's fare", so they make show with heavy lore so that they can say "No, look, we're making stuff that adults can enjoy as well!". And on some level, this actually works, there are people out there who unironically love Adventure Time and Gravity Falls but would balk at the idea of watching The Loud House because the latter is "too cartoony" for their tastes because The Loud House doesn't have a far-reaching plot.

it'd be fine as a mini series
but i can't say it'd be a good show
the MC isn't really all that endearing
and her supporting cast is annoying

Maybe you should've gotten more people with Neilsen boxes to get up at 6am on a Sunday if you wanted a series.
