Ramshackle Is Subpar At Best, Boring At Worst

[@Sophia-maria]

Honestly I think a good idea for skip character is toxic positivity it would be an interesting turn for the trop and his character

[@igt-nj1gd]

That won't happen, though, because Skipp is canonically a comfort character and will probably not have such a 'deep' flaw. He will probably have flaws, but I doubt toxic positivity would be one, because he already understands when things go too far, when positivity won't fix anything, etc.

[@igt-nj1gd]

If anything, he'd be one of the only characters to not have many flaws at all. Honestly, I wouldn't care either way. I already like Skipp's character and he was the first character, the OG one so I wouldn't want him to change.

I personally feel as though it failed as a pilot. It feels more like due to it's lack of focus, it should've been a short film more than anything. There's also production issues that take me out of enjoying it. Obviously the animation is phenomenal, but the sound design was pretty bad. And the writing just seemed like it didn't know what to do with itself, I'll have to disagree with you on the characters being presented properly as from what I can tell, they weren't given nearly enough time to shine and show themselves off. We were too focused on this random baby who was taking away valuable screentime from our main cast. It's weird how this is the only other negative review I've seen on youtube. The only other one being called "Ramshackle Fails as a Pilot" which shares a lot of the views I described here. Good video though, interesting to hear your thoughts. Keep it up!

[@eggburt6169]

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I was truly rooting for ramshackle & fell in love with the short film thesis released a few years ago. Was hoping I’d love the pilot too but the writing was too cornbally for my tastes, & they really laid the messaging of “rich ppl bad” on a little too thick imo

[@Phillylove100]

So I can clear up your confusion about how it could have swearing that lands it in an older age range and jokes that land it in a younger age range. This show is meant to appeal to adults who have nostalgia for the cartoons they grew up with. The language and serious subject matter makes adults feel like they’re not condescended to and the younger style jokes are made to give adults that nostalgic feeling and even those younger style jokes have hard edges. That explains who the writers are trying to appeal to. It sounds like this is a preference thing where you’re just missing what everyone else sees due to your personal preferences and biases. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. We all have our blind spots.

[@hazzahannah]

Glad to find another person with the similar opinions of the pilot! One thing I’ll say for the set era, which is supposed to be in like the early 20th century as you said, is that it doesn’t really portray it consistently, because you’d find some random characters that look like they’re from the 1920s or like the 21st century (etc. lady posing for the red carpet). I feel like the show is having a bit of trouble establishing a consistent theme, and I feel like they should do a bit more exploration of its era so that way it would be more consistent

It wasn’t a good pilot because it didn’t actually encourage any audience investment in the scraps or the world of ramshackle (literally destroys the problem of bad rich people at the end- what’s supposed to happen in the next episode?). I was very surprised to see that the baby turned into an angel because the whole pilot seemed like they were adding a member to the main crew. Like Maggot had the most development in the pilot so it adds to the “why would I care about the next episode?” Feeling

[@Urlocalcrackhead]

It honestly felt like they rushed that last part since maggot becoming an angel made no sense at all. I think they added that thinking it would be funny, but it instead made it more boring and confusing

Agree 100%! The animation and style is amazing and I’m really trying to like it, but as an episode it doesn’t show off the characters well enough. Also, kinda a nitpick but something I noticed while watching was lack of sfx and music. Music brings life to scenes and the lack of it made it feel empty.

[@MaytayMaya]

I'm glad I wasn't alone in thinking similarly. Personally my immediate thoughts was "Oh this show is just gonna say 'rich man bad' and that's the only substance we're getting", because I felt like "rich man bad" was brought up constantly throughout the pilot, to be fair to the show, if the show is continued, the newer episodes could be brilliant and I'd love the show. I know personally I wanted to blow my brains out watching the Murder Drones pilot due to the forced unfunny jokes and attempts at meta-humour but I stuck through the rest of the show and it ended up being my favorite piece of animated media behind Invincible. There's hope for Ramshackle but if its just gonna be "Rich person bad, let's eat and kill rich person because I'm eternally living on Twitter!" Then count me out.

[@leavemealone802]

I often feel like indie animators are either trying too hard to be like Hazbin Hotel, or having a issue to make something simple Which are both understandable, but it's making this new wave of indie animation that has amazing ideas, a lot of potential, but no control or identity I am personally tired of every indie animation having adult subjects, without a single understanding of what makes something adult

[@bernkastel7438]

Yeah, especially that scene where that town is vaporized except the scraps and they don’t care at all basically. (Not to mention that scene where they see a woman eaten by the baby and don’t react) Why would I want to follow these characters that are complete pricks? I’ll give Helluva Boss some credit, the show knows Blitzo is an asshat. He’s been called out by the other characters occasionally and his actions have consequences in the narrative most of the time. And they also gave him redeemable qualities.

[@Axolotl_2347]

That’s the problem with not just indie animation but animation as a whole. So many “adult” shows on Adult Swim are only considered “adult” because of violence and swearing but the show itself is emotionally immature and doesn’t really delve into mature plot points/emotions. Rick and Morty, for example, would be considered a kids show if you removed all the swearing and adult jokes. Helluva Boss would also be a kids show if you removed all the adult jokes and swearing. People need to realize that Swearing and Dirty Jokes =/= Mature This is why I think adventure time was amazing because it dealt with very dark and heavy themes without relying on crass language and humor.

They obviously also have episodes that are just humor, but it is a comedy show after all. Personally, I really enjoy their balance of only sprinkling the heavy stuff into an otherwise bizarre show.

[@zeelovesu172]

As much as I love Japanese media, I definitely know that anime is to blame for the "apathetic edgelord who goes soft" trope being as overdone as it is. This is a message to all writers and animators: not every second protagonist has to be a Sasuke Uchiha clone! As for the "Golden Retriever boy" trope, I'm not surprised that it has gone from being subversive within the indie sphere to becoming the grim norm in such a short amount of time. Btw, I love that frame where VM basically called Sir Pentious, N, Moxxie, and one other guy (I dunno his name cuz I haven't seen Lackadaisy) the same character LMAOOOOO! 🤣

I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with you on Skipp. Yes he is the least interesting, but the fact that you compare him to other “nice guys” is a huge disservice. Moxxie is nice but very uptight and insecure. N is much more silly and excitable. Freckle is reluctant and timid, and even has a secret unhinged side, and Sir Pentious is a bumbling idiot who means well. None of these characters are the exact same just because they are nice. Even Skipp shows some character by trying to bring out the best in others even if it means breaking the class barrier. Would Stone or Vinny even think about talking to a rich person? No.

I think I understand your opinion, tho I feel like it falls more under the "personal taste might not be aligned" than "it's not good." I will 100% agree with you that it has basically no narrative potential or setup and while I usually find that as a heartbreaker for shows (especially helluva boss and murder drones currently), this really felt like it was trying to be a silly episodic show and nothing more, and I enjoyed it. Monkey Wrench has so much more narrative potential and quality writing than ramshackle, but if view counts are any metric to go by, something can still be "good," or even at least "loved" if it's writing and narrative is bad.

@@mrhappyaa5405 you see, I'd politely disagree. Good art is well crafted, great art is supposed to make you feel, and fantastic art also makes you think.

Yet Ramshackle is nevertheless great because it does make you feel, yet it might not make you feel. I watched the 2005 pride and prejudice with my family, and while they all loved it and made them feel a lot, it didn't do much for me, but I can conclude it is still art because of how it was presented and what it made them feel.

Copied my own comment from a different video but figured to share here as well. I agree with the notion that the pilot could be better. Great animation but the writing isn’t my cup of tea. I think it wants to be a show for adults yet it relies on jokes that are more akin to shows for more younger demographic. While that’s not a bad thing it doesn’t seem to have that balance and leaves me confused wondering who is supposed to be the target audience. Adults can be at risk of being alienated by the juvenile humor and younger kids can be at risk of being alienated by the swearing. So in the end the show seems to be trying to attract both audiences and risk losing both. However this is a pilot so it has plenty of time to improve the writing and I hope it succeeds with future episodes!

I absolutely love the art-style of Ramshackle. I love 2D animation that is rough around the edges with sketch lines left intentionally in some frames, that’s why I love Lackadaisy. Additionally the simple character designs feel like a breath of fresh air compared to shows like Hazbin/Helluva where every single character is overly complex and flashy to the point where it’s hard to pay attention. My problem that when you make a pilot episode, it should give you an idea on what the rest of the series entails. The murder drones pilot left you with the idea that Uzi will have conflict with his dad and the mystery of who sent the murder drones needs to be solved. The Lackadaisy pilot left the mystery of what Mordecai’s motives were and will Rocky and Freckle succeed in their bootlegging business. The Hazbin pilot establishes that the rest of the series will be conflict with the wacky zany characters in the hotel and figuring out what Alastor really wants. The Ramshackle pilot doesn’t leave the viewer with anything on what to expect from the rest of the show. The angel twist came out from left field like something out of regular show. (regular show was amazing, but that’s because regular show established that Absurd unexpected things should be expected) Like I genuinely don’t know what the rest of the show is supposed to be about. Like is it about the three kids scamming/fight rich people? Is it about super natural entities? Like wtf is going on?

[@adiamondtrash9344]

Me personally I don’t mind the humor or the style just the lack of foreseeable future doesn’t make me want to watch the series to come. Let’s look at the other pilots like murder drones uzi wanted to kill all humans and we were left on that we wanted to come back to watch more to see if she achieves her goal. The amazing digital circus incentivized the audience to continue watching with a psychological unstable characters and promises of new adventures. We had ideas of interesting goals for the characters but in ramshackle the baby turns out to be an angel and ends up solving the evil rich people problem the main caste kill a bunch of rich people with no idea or hint of repercussion for their actions that would REALLY enhance the idea of rich vs poor but it’s not I’m rather disappointed with lack of goals from characters we barely know anything about their pasts and that’s just the pilot

That's all I'll say. Moreover- how've ya' been Vanitymoth? Haven't seen your stuff in a while, hope you're doing well. I would make a comment about Ramshackle, but I haven't seen the show, who knows I might like it. I am after all a simp when it comes to indie animation, no matter how good or bad the writing is (no one better make a Hellaverse joke, please, I already feel like I'm the scum of the earth for liking that show, thanks internet), and you hit the nail of the head with it looking like The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Chowder- God, I haven't seen those shows in ages, might want to now. Alright, I'll get out of your hair. Have a good day Vanity, and see ya' around. BYE!

Don’t want to sound rude or anything, but getting thoughts from vanity to watch the pilot or not, i’m sorry but that sounds pretty stupid and just watch the pilot, no hatred to vanity or anything I genuinely like his content, but vanity is the hard guy to impress, and yes his criticism is (sometimes) valid, but most people will not mind these and enjoy the pilot. (I feel like I ruined the nice comment from my angry rant)

Why is the comment in the entire Bible verse?

in the thesis I hated skip he was just kind of the child of the group he got on my nerves The other characters were OKAY

[@Trrs14]

Oh man does that mean the pilot is really that bad?? :/

[@The_gaslight_district_Fanboy]

It doesn’t mean if he doesn’t like it You will not like it, everybody loves it, and you have to check it out and get your own thoughts on the pilot.

Skip is a nice guy

The creator literally said it was gonna be "south-park-level silly." Yes, there's raunchy humor. Yes, there's weird stuff. YES the writing WILL NOT BE PERFECT. Don't forget this is the PILOT. Have you seen the pilots for some old Disney shows like Gravity Falls and Amphibia? Even the BLUEY, the damn BLUEY pilot was rough around the edges. Us indie animation fans are super spoiled because we're used to pilots like Hazbin Hotel, Lackadaisy, and TADC, but don't forget what a pilot is normally supposed to be; A pitch. Zeddyzi is just showing us a taste of the Ramshackle world for now, which will likely be expanded as time goes on, and will improve with practice (Keep in mind this is her first full-length show/comic. Vivizepop started with Zoophobia under her belt, and Liam Vickers with Cliffside + Internecion cube). And one more thing; please please PLEASE don't forget how rough the writing was for the Murder Drones pilot, but look at where the show is now! The pilot for Ramshackle could have been better, but I have faith it's going to improve. Also fun fact; Zeddyzi said Ramshackle doesn't take place in any time period and it's its own thing. The closest she could describe it was 1800s-1900s with a few modern items that managed to seep through.

What do you mean the gravity falls pilot is rough around the edges? It's so good that they used they reused the same script as the first episode. Same thing for the Bluey episode, so good they reused it as episode 6. That's what happens when you focus on making a good script, the art can easily be improved but a bad story needs to be completely redone. Shouldn't pitches still be good if they want to be picked up?

[@smg3thebellsaretolling]

i was never too fond of its artstyle... the show was just boring and i couldn't get into it ig

[@JesseHarrison-t3j]

That's the one thing I don't like about stone he would a been a okay character but did he have to be the emo stereotype it gets old besides not every emo/goths are like that.

[@numbuh1507]

How about you review The Rhino and The Redbill? I bet you'll hate that one as well.

[@Spectres_Gaming_Corner]

0:10 i'm looking at you, unamazing digital circus...

[@thecoolaxolotlnova8523]

I thought every single joke was hilarious i just think you have the wrong sense of humor

[@MilotisXdemon]

Damn

[@sillibeastgames4308]

We get it, you're just trying to be "unique" by saying this isn't great.

[@Birdyboys]

He isn’t the first to say this

[@yalovoyhznepomny]

MD fan said "this indie pilot not funny at all" ... What a frucking joke!!!
