It definitely seems like more of a gender neutral show. I'd say Adventure Time is the male counterpart to MLP.

Well there is a way to tell. Who is the only sane and competent character in the show? Male. The female lead is super girly and insane? Yep. How about the down to earth bewilderment common of gender neutral shows like Franklin and Arthur? No it is Zany guy humor.

It definately does not seem like a gender neutral show. At least not at heart.

Mind you it is definately more gender neutral then Adventure time and My Little Pony and my method is hardly infallable. I'd have no idea how to rate "Chowder" for example.

Insane? Mable is just silly. She's just less mature than Dipper, but that's shown to be mostly because because he tries too hard.

I'll admit he gets more of the spotlight than her, but that's it. I don't think his character is really any stronger.

Honestly I never assigned a "gender" to Gravity Falls. It seems pretty cross demographic to me. You don't need sparkles and ponies to appeal to girls, just like you don't need power fantasy to appeal to boys.

But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Well I am speaking more natural gender inclination then "It is going for a male" or "It is going for a female" audiance thing. It just seems like a show that would attract more males then females because of the way it is set up.

Hmm... kinda makes me wonder about a Johny Test and Gravity Falls Crossover... how terrible.

Well, that makes one of us. I can't stand either Flapjack or Chowder. I never watched more than one episode of each, but then again, I don't think my feelings on either would change if I did.

To exist or not exist, that is the query. For whether it is more optimal of the CPU to endure the viruses and spam of outragous fortune, or to something something something.

I dislike Flapjack but love Chowder.

In Flapjack's case it is because it was a show with a goal... but where I never feel like they earnestly persue it.

That was intentional, I think--K'Nuckles tantalizes Flapjack with promises of an island made of candy so that he can have a young boy to keep him company...

that didn't sound that bad when I was writing it

Chowder used to annoy the shit out of me, but then a friend of mine encourage me to rewatch the series, and it surprised me. At first, I thought it was aimless rambling with little thought. And, it is to a certain extent but for some reason, not entirely aimless. Each show tends to set up the rules for itself, and stick to them mostly. And after a bit, I grew to appreciate the art style of the series. It really had to grow on me.

It is supposed to sound bad. It didn't help me like the show.

You bastards, getting me interested in awesome shows & then leaving me waiting two weeks for a new episode...

Anyways, there has been a distressing lack of comic discussion.
So I have to recommend that you guys check out Irredeemable & Incorruptible, if you want seriously some great but seriously depressing comics.
Not much I can really say about them that the Wikipedia pages won't say better.

I watched How to Train Your Dragon a while ago and I was expecting a grand movie given the reviews and how much people said it was amazing.

But it wasn't... amazing that is (I liked it, but I have no temptation to watch it again). I couldn't really put my finger on it. Was it how throw away the female lead was? Was it the pacing?

I think, I am really not sure, it was the main character and how the way he acts and speaks is entirely against the setting. It isn't that he is a misfit or that he doesn't fit in with his society (or that he has a technological prowress far above his kin), that isn't related, afterall Happyfeet was a misfit who acted differently but in a way that fit. It is that he acts like he was a person from an entirely different society that has been transplanted into this one. Even then it wasn't entirely out there.

Then it made me ask: How many movies and shows involve characters who seem contrary to the setting?
