Learning With Pibby is not moving forward at Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, or Max. A friend of Pibby creator Dodge Greenley has come forward with confirmation that Pibby has been completely rejected by Warner Bros. Now what?

[@pauldeddens5349]

I know its so damn annoying. Every popular IP needs a cinematic multiverse. None of them are built for it, they always add tons of narrative garbage and bloat, and it makes the stakes lower and less interesting to watch. But the one show, built around it, with concepts that twist every IP into something unique and interesting, performing massively with just a little trailer, doesnt deserve the effort? Clearly they must like the idea, or recognize it _is_ a good idea by the fact their extending the IP. Either they want to shove Dodge off of the team and have someone else drive the series into a more "profitable" or "general audience" direction. Or they just dont want to hassle with getting so many IPs involved, regardless if they _already own the fucking rights to them._ The only one in question is _potentially_ spongebob after that one scene in his house. But AFAIK Viacom doesnt own the trademark to spongebobs house, assuming spongebob himself makes no actual appearance.

[@pauldeddens5349]

@@raphaelbrown6314 Your missing my point. It only works if the franchise is designed for it. Spiderverse was a new of IP _OF_ Spiderman, designed with reimagined characters specifically for a 3 part overarching multiverse plot. Miles and Gwen already existed, but were completely altered to fit the new story they are telling with them. The whole franchise is a deconstruction of canon, destiny, and modern society. They dont need to be high stakes, right. I didnt say they did, just that they often are. But shoehorning in Multiverse bullshit where its not needed kills shows and movies. If the story isnt tailored for it, or built from the ground up anticipating it, it is not going to go well. It will either be trash, nonsense, or cringe.

From all the horrible decisions that WB are taking rn, this is the only one that I could understand. Consider this: Adult Swim airs late at night, a time when hardly anyone is watching TV. That's why most of their shows are low-budget (with a few exceptions that turned out to be very successful like Rick and Morty), because otherwise they wouldn't make a profit. Now imagine a show that airs at a time when no one is watching TV, with a huge budget not only for its animation quality but also for the IPs they need to include. The love for art is great and all, but if it doesn't make money, there won't be more art to produce. That's why they had to let it go.

Why don't they make fake parody IPs to use instead of the big ones? Like, the main trio are already parodies of existing IPs, why not just make more?

[@pauldeddens5349]

Two reasons. 1. The reason Pibby stood out so hard was the fact it used _real_ IPs. Not copycats, not substitutes. Your not being hunted by Fionna and Cake, your being hunted by the real deal. Your not being chased by Chi Chi, your being chased by actual Gumball. The actual Teen Titans, not the Adolescent Avengers. That kind of "Oh they are actually travelling between real, established shows, which all have been corrupted" is the strong sell Pibby had that made it different. Otherwise FoP already did this bit very successfully in Channel Chasers. A great special, probably not that great of an idea to spin into a whole show. It makes sense the main characters are fake IPs otherwise it turns into fanfiction. Their originality supplements the realness of whats happening around them. They dont belong, and they are being hunted by much bigger fish. 2. Established IPs have rules and existing universes. That means you know what to expect. Its alot scarier to have Finn and Jake hunting you down knowing what they are capable of, and seeing their adventures. It makes you emotionally invested in both Pibby, and all the corrupted IPs looking for her. They arent mindless monsters, they used to be your favorites. You lose that when its Notzilla chasing you. The show doesnt need time to establish who the enemies are, only what they are doing. You know the corruption clearly isnt good, and its creating monsters out of people you know _were_ good. Not because Pibby spent all of season 1 setting it up, but because your childhood has been setting it up.

I'm also glad that it got cancelled, but for more reasons than what you said. For one thing, that show could have caused the devastation of OUR world. Dodge's actions could have condemned us all, but for ONCE, the executives did the right thing. And besides, if the show has a future, WE don't have a future. None of us do. Russia would have used it for anti-Western, anti-American, anti-NATO propaganda, and it would have started World War 3, aka The War to End the World. That cartoon would have caused our own destruction, and the destruction of humanity itself. The way I see it, there are two things that this news had reinforced. For the company executives, it's the importance of not only recognizing red flags, but acting upon them too, and for the community it's to be careful with what you wish for.
