the general implication being if one's opinion is in the minority that it's "wrong."


Fanon Discontinuity for games is pretty bad too and so disorganised you might as well just say "Every game is subject to fanon discontinuity" because the article itself doesn't seem to strongly understand how it works.

For example the reason people like to apply Fanon Discontinuity to Other M for example... has nothing to do with the gameplay, it was pretty bad, but because it seems to ruin Samus' character.

But this is about Cartoons... not games...

. Pop culture references are nice and I'd be lying if said I didn't like some eye candy here and there, but that's never, ever the reason I like a show aimed at kids.

I totally agree. They are a bonus but I never liked, for example, Totally Spies (in fact I have no idea why I exactly like it... odd) because of fetish play, heck it never even occured to me.

Well ok not the Eye Candy part, but I am unusual in my total lockout of eye candy... but I cannot imagine ANYONE watching a show they hated just because someone was hot. Even Baywatch which is outright accused of doing it... actually had a show behind it (To my knowledge Baywatch actually started losing viewers when they turned it into a fanservice only show... What a coincidence even perverts had something better to do)

Ohh wait nevermind... After reading ENOUGH of this... I have come to the conclusion that the person writing the article is just a pervert. *reads more* sorry... A Perverted Genderless Robot who doesn't understand human emotions or motivations who read the idiots guide to Freudian psychology.

Just no Penguin.

Unless there is a Cartoon about TVtropes (and no matter what TVtropes says there isn't) no.

Aw...
Eh, oh well.
Anyways the new episode of Gravity Falls is pretty damn good. I hadn't actually been keeping up with the show past episode 5, so I watched them all yesterday...
It was glorious.

You got so close to the truth.

Sometimes I feel like I miss a lot in shows when reading everyone's comments

It is mostly because no show is actually all that weird to me. Since what is weird in a show is something that goes against what has been shown so far. A weird show isn't weird because it is established to be weird.

Yet this frame of mind is what makes shows like Adventure time so much more boring to me then others (I like some episodes but a lot of the jokes involve you finding what they are doing weird... "Ohh my... he turned his hand into a sword... that actually makes perfect sense"). I mean I like the show but so barely I just wonder if the key to enjoying it vastly is peeing your pants everytime something silly happens.

Not sure if this goes here or in the anime thread, but I was reading transcripts of comments on a Japanese sub of MLP and was pretty amused by how familiar some of the comments were, and then I got to thinking about how Avatar wasn't that well received there due to the fire nation culture being based off imperial Japan, and now I'm kinda curious about how do people in other cultures think of various western shows.

I don't think Wolverine drinks enough beer for a Canadian.  I'm a little offended by that.

I've been watching Power Puff Girls when I can, and the two episodes that most stand out are the Dick Hardley one and Speed Demon. If you watched it you know what I'm talking about. I couldn't sleep for a while after that one in particular; it sort of gave an extra menacingness to HIM.

PPG is one series I haven't seen as much as I'd like to of.

I did watch the banned episode recently, and it left me wondering why the hell it was banned. Neat musical episode.

This was the only episode that was banned in USA due to scenes with quick bright flashing backgrounds, executives may say it will cause seizures, it only aired in the UK and other different regions
Ah, that makes more sense. I had previously heard it was banned for its capitalist vs communist themes.
