Title: They finally done it.
Post by: JDog on December 31, 2006, 07:48:59 PM
Stupid Nickelodeon has really out done them selves with stupid shows this time, the naked brothers band tv show looks like its going to be the worst TV show ever invented, what the hell where they thinking when they made this show? They are so stupid!

Did you say...naked?  :-[ I do NOT think it sounds like a show appropriate for kids.
Title: Re:They finally done it.

The naked brothers thing is just plain stupid. I wouldnt watch it. However, I like Mr.Meaty's which I also thought would be dumb.

Thats just the name of the band, they aren't really naked ;D

I'd rather watch the patroits lose than watch the naked brothers band, they make country music look good.

That's what I dislike about Nickelodeon: They cancel the production of really funny shows and replace them with stupid ones. Need I mention the fact that The Fairly OddParents got cancelled in production? The same with Jimmy Neutron, and now they're doing it to Danny Phantom, too! :'(

If that were ever to happen, I would certainly back you up 100%!

As for the Avatar thing, we know it's going to happen eventually. I think the third season is the last one, and Aang defeating the Fire Lord has to take place before Sozen's Comet arrives (which I think is during the third season). When Aang defeats the Fire Lord, what else is there to go over in the war?

Still, I wish that there would be a loophole in the storyline so Avatar would have four seasons instead of three.

However, if Nickelodeon cancels the production of Avatar before the end of Book 3, then I'm going to nuke Nickelodeon Studios!

I know, they just go too far. There are some stupid shows on every station, but Nick takes the cake as of now. Nick used to rock! Cartoon Network has some pretty crappy shows too.

Post by: MagmarFire on January 01, 2007, 03:09:01 PM
I remember watching Nickelodeon a lot just about every day when I was younger, usually right after school. Now to ease the nostalgia that I face by remembering shows that no longer air, I read Wikipedia articles about them. I'm doing it right now, even!

Still, don't get me wrong, there are a few VERY good shows on Nickelodeon right now, but all the rest I can care less about.

no, they got rid of Zim because it was too dark for their network, then it went to cartoon network, and shortly after they moved it to adult swim because of said darkness, and then adult swim dropped it because it didn't fit in. now nick network airs it a lot.

it's the american release that has VERY bad voice acting, but if you listen to the japanese dubs, they actually show more emotion, you don't have to understand the language to tell the subtle tones in the voice that give more appropriate emotion.

Blame america's HORRIBLE use of dubbing not placing emphasis where emphasis be placed, and screwing up the american version so it's not the same as it was originally.

Yes, all the 'touching' scenes in Naruto are a lot more emotional in the Japanese version, but in American version they aren't that emotional.

(Yes, I do consider Avatar to be an anime. It may be produced in the U.S., but it is animated in either North or South Korea.)

Umm... LOTS of american cartoons are animated/colored in SOUTH Korea. famous examples include: The SImpsons, Family Guy (I THink), American Dad (not sure about this one either...), King of the Hill, and Futurama. And ALL of those are clearly american shows. So why do they move the work over to SK? Because it's cheaper to produce and animate the stuff over there rather than over here...

Yes, a lot of the  cartoons today aren't that original and pretty sucky. But some of them are quite good, even if they ARE pretty old... shows like ye olde original Transformers (Believe it or not, this came from Japan as anime... I think... but it was very much anime style!) People may not realize this, but quite a few old cartoons like Speed Racer (Although, NO Hannah-Barbara) were originally anime, then moved over to america. And there are quite a few anime that came over during the 80's that were based off of fairy tales, that may not seem completely anime-ish at first, but its true.

Title: Re:They finally done it.
Post by: darkphantomime on January 04, 2007, 07:14:49 PM
Well, let's see, we were all bashing nick for its crappy quality of shows. Then we started going on how cartoons today are so sucky, and then I asked you guys to name some of the suckier anime...

Funny how topics, by definition, always end up evolving to a point where things go off topic... Anyway... Transformers was a show created by Japan and America working together, it was a sort of spin off of several toylines in Japan. So someone noticed how neat they were, and decided to create a toyline and series featuring robots that could transform from machines/vehicles to a form resembling humans. But Transformers, since the very beginning, has been anime stylish. A japanese studio was working on the animation, the drawings, etc, from plans and stories provided by the americans.

God, how I miss the original transformers... :'( :'(

Post by: darkphantomime on January 05, 2007, 08:25:40 PM
Actually, there are TWO movies. The one we know and have coming up is the live action one.  But in 1986, they made a full length transformers animated movie. It actually served not as stand alone, which is common with movies based off of cartoons these days, but rather a continuation of events, going from season 2 to season 3. I heard in that movie, there was a giant transformer called "Unicron", he could transform into a planet, and 'eat' planets and moons. Freaky, no?

And what we have with Unicron has been the source of inspiration for some recent offerings of the Transformers saga.

The Live action movie might be the first part of three. They're going with a stand alone entry, not continuing the series, but rather, recreating it.

Post by: darkphantomime on January 05, 2007, 09:26:27 PM
I distinctly recall I being the one that mentioned transformers being a series...

NOW....

There's actually some good anime out there, it's just pitiful that people will let themselves fall pray to fanservice and things appealing to the senses, rather than to the soul.

Some anime is highly experimental in design... if executives were so concerned with their capital gains, then for once, they'd lend an ear to the people. But that seems to be one of the flaws of capatilism: There's no reason to care about something if you have enough money to drown out harsh sounds.

My solution? SUMMON RICHARD SIMMONS!
