THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR REN & STIMPY

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

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.

...I wrote way too much about a kid's cartoon.

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.

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.

You're wrong.

How does it feel to have no soul?

I don't much care for Ed, Edd and Eddy (Something I'd chalk to overexposure as a teenager more than anything) but I don't understand how you can hate the art style of that and love Ren and Stimpy (Again, something I don't care much for).

Truthfully they are completely different, and while the early Ren and Stimpy cartoons might be herky jerky, the refined ones made before John K. got kicked out (The Games Animation ones were not good, and I don't consider them true Ren and Stimpy) were drawn and animated infinitely better than any Ed Edd and Eddy episode.

I could show some examples later if you care, but I realized I gotta finish this school thing real quick and I'm not sure you do care for me to babble on and show image examples since you don't like the show anyway.

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

Except that this is like saying that rock is better than jazz. They are completely different styles, and no one should ever try to compare them.

ziggy · #41 01-14-2011, 11:20 AM

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 · #44 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 · #46 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.

HATE Ed, Edd, n Eddy!

Fucking giant lollipops.

Ren & fucking Stimpy, man. also The Trap Door and what i can remember of Farthing Wood.

Ren & fucking Stimpy!

That was the point as it flew overhead.

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!

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:

and I responded:

Did you respond to this?

How about when OANST said:

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*"

My favourite EE&E characters were Rolf and Ed.

They were so cool.

My favorite character is Plank, of course.
