It's more like comparing a talented and original rock songwriter to a mediocre jazz artist who imitates other musicians.

Except that it isn't like that at all. Who exactly is Antonucci imitating?

1940s cartoons like Mr. Magoo, but in a bad way.


OANST 01-14-2011 11:34 AM

That looks nothing like Ed, Edd, and Eddy. To say otherwise means that you just have no appreciation for the art of animation (which is fine), or that you are just casting about trying to prove that the show is bad simply because you don't like it.

This man thinks Salvador Dali ripped off Pablo Picasso.

ziggy 01-14-2011 11:43 AM

Yes I just don't like it. I find it boring. And I don't think Salvador Dali ripped off Picasso. Everything imitates something that came before it in some way, but I think the show tries to be sporadic and clever but is just repetitive and flat.

The exception to this is the E,E&E Movie, which was an Armageddon of gorgeous animation.

How tahell did I miss this as a kid?

That was the point as it flew overhead.

ziggy 01-14-2011 11:49 AM

What? Are you saying that I didn't understand you because you think Mr. Magoo has nothing to do with Ed Edd n Eddy and so I don't get the relation you made to artists with different styles?

It's okay that you don't like it. You don't need to like it. But you're coming off as a dude who likes Korn saying that Modest Mouse is boring, and that they ripped off The Beatles. Everyone who knows anything about music is just rolling their eyes, and waiting for you to stop talking.

You certainly seemed to miss the point completely so you tell me!

ziggy 01-14-2011 12:04 PM

I know I'm being an annoying cunt, but all your initial arguments are just you saying "You're wrong." "What does that have to do with anything?" and Oddhunter saying "You have no soul" and such. Just finding any way to say I'm wrong. Then you come to this conclusion to say it's ok but i should just shut up, so I'm made to be a dick when I'm just defending my opinion.

So when you said:
:

@Oddhunter: Ed Edd n Eddy is a shitty cartoon!! It has terrible artwork, annoying unimaginative characters, and practically the same gimmick in every episode.
and I responded:
:

I personally love the art style; it's unique and all of the characters and environments are stylised in a way that adds to the show.

Every character has a different personality and interacts well with other characters. Also note many of the characters are MEANT to be annoying - it's a standard way of making an audience dislike the character they're supposed to.

It uses the same gimmick every episode because the episodes are meant as standalones; if you're looking for a series-long story arc you're not watching the right cartoon.
Did you respond to this?

How about when OANST said:
:

This is possibly the worst thing that I have ever read on this forum. Ed, Edd, and Eddy is one of the finest pieces of television ever made. There is no gimmick. It's about childhood, and it fucking nails it. The characters are not only more convincing than in any other kids' show of it's type, but they are honest in an exaggerated way that makes it fascinating for kids, and endearing to adults. Ed, Edd, and Eddy is perfection. Ed, Edd, and Eddy is a summer day.
and you responded:
:

Well I don't like it. The art style just really puts me off more than anything. That's the true reason I can't stand it. The rooms full of one color, the squiggly line people, and the flat heads. I can't look at it.
I don't think it reflects childhood either.
Who's the one responding childishly here? "I don't like it" "here's why you're objectively wrong" "well I just don't like it *repeat ad nauseum*"

You tried :). But they are just more into arguing about ed edd n eddy.

Man, I miss loving this.

My favourite EE&E characters were Rolf and Ed.

They were so cool.

I would have thought you'd be more of a Jimmy man.

My favorite character is Plank, of course.

You'd be surprised.

When I watched the show on a semi-regular basis I was a very different person from who I am now. I probably thought he was a girly loser.

hahahahahahahahahaha

Charisma, that guy had.

Mac Sirloin 01-14-2011 01:52 PM

Ed all the way. Fuck, I was Ed in my group growing up.

Wings of Fire 01-14-2011 01:57 PM

I was Double-D.

Does this make OANST Eddy?

I'm on Team Plank too. I liked the fact he had a family. Until Eddy decapitated them, the bastard.

I was horrified when that happened. Plank was never the same.

Havoc 01-14-2011 03:33 PM

Pretty much all the cartoons that aired on Cartoon Network back in the 90's. With Dexter's Lab, Cow and Chicken, Johny Bravo, Dragonball Z and Two Stupid Dogs at the top of the list.

shaman 01-14-2011 03:43 PM

I liked Ed Edd n Eddy, cow and chicken and all th classics. Hell i still like the Edds, i see myself as Ed.

Tub of gravy.

OANST 01-15-2011 09:50 AM

Watch the entirety of Jimmy's dream, and tell me that the animation isn't fantastic.


ziggy 01-16-2011 08:33 AM

It does look good, that's true. I was on my period the other day.

T-nex 01-16-2011 08:51 AM

I guess i liked Dexters laboratory, Courage the cowardly dog, I also liked Two Stupid dogs :D
Oh and Dungeons and Dragons.

And there was this cartoon that i keep forgetting the name of, but I used to love it to death as a kid(i was really really young, so thats why i dont remember).

It was an adventure cartoon about a purple guy who could transform into many things. From what I read it was like an environment-awareness cartoon sorta.

Oh... And sailor moon :D Watched it on the german channel. That was before I ever knew what Anime was. I just liked sparkly things and evil demons.


Oh and when I grew a bit older I really favored the batman cartoon.

And Lilo and Stitch. SO fok ya'll!! >: (


Oh and the godzilla cartoon. With baby-godzilla.

Please remember the name of it soon, it sounds ridiculously familiar to me but I cannot for the life of me place it.

ziggy 01-16-2011 09:39 AM

Are you talking about Captain Planet? That's the only thing I can think of since you said environment-awareness.

Damn.. I found it. I looked up a 80s/90s cartoon list.

http://www.patrickdf.com/cartoons/widget.html

Dunno if it is what you were thinking of. But it's what I was talking about.

I actually have no idea what it's about. I only went by what I remember reading about it when I remembered the name. It's such a friggin long time I watched it. I think it aired on TCC/TCN or something like that.



Edit: Oh and for about 3 months, pokemon was my favorite toon when it aired on the German channel :D In the span of the three months I blew all my allowance on an ugly pikacu stuffed toy that's fat and looks like an egg for some reason. It's so ridiculous. Soon after that, my excitement died. Hm.. probably my most short-lived fad ever.

Nope, doesn't ring a bell.

Now this is gonna bother me for ages. What cartoons did I watch as a kid involving purple shapeshifters?

T-nex 01-16-2011 09:59 AM

What exactly do you remember from it?

Manco 01-16-2011 10:02 AM

Nothing really, but the concept just sparks something in my mind.

Never mind, I'll probably run across it years from now and think "hey, that was an awful show".

T-nex 01-16-2011 10:04 AM

Hm... Well maybe you've just put together bits and pieces from several shows. That sometimes happens with me X_x
