The Future of Adult Swim is BLEAK

I always find it funny when companies don't want you to pirate, but yet they won't sell their products that you would gladly pay for.

[@noodleydoodleys]

THIS. I'm serious I would rather have a gang of dojo loaches run WB than these clowns!

[@David-fx7fm]

Sometimes, piracy is necessary to preserve media and art that these creators have poured years of their life into. I hope people start pirating these shows as they get de-listed to keep them alive. I've even seen some of these artists tell their fans and supporters to do so

[@harrylane4]

Preserve is the wrong word. All of these works are being preserved at the library of congress, and can often even be checked out for use. It's to ensure accessibility, not preservation. And that is still an important thing, but a different one.

[@magustobias8827]

@@harrylane4 No, they aren't. I don't know where you got that information, but only seminal works of film are entered into the national film registry, and only television shows primarily produced by NBC are preserved within, of which, it's an incredibly varying degree; some shows are held in full, others only have a few episodes. It's not all shows, and it's not all movies. I fully endorse piracy of any work, because while there are people out there who will consume whatever and whenever and then just move on, more often people who love and enjoy a thing will go out of their way to then support that thing, or even go back and purchase that which was pirated. And with more and more paywalls, live services, de-listings, and business manipulations without consequence (the tax write-offs by killing shows for example), and the extremely difficult if not nigh-impossible uphill legal battle it would take to not just slow such things down but outright halt them completely? Yeah, it's just as much preservation as it is accesibility.

Pibby to me seems to me as a sorta way to make a zombie apocalypse story out of the concept of cancelled shows that are trapped forever in reruns? Very interesting way for that show to go if it's been canned by the merger I'd say.

[@ZoanBlade90]

And just like that, we have our plot hook, don't we?

[@iZaNull]

Yeahh!!! I don't understand why people keep shitting on it for "being inspired by creepypasta" or "Look!!! [Insert character] from [insert series] you watched when you were a child is there!!!" When it isn't even,,, inspired by that or is meant to convey that in the first place. It's a zombie apocalypse show with the spin of your childhood cartoon characters being twisted and mutilated by an unstoppable, inescapable force. And even if it's inspired by that or.. something, there's nothing wrong with that. If it's 'cringe', I don't care, I'll embrace the 'cringe' I've seen so many cool and silly theories come from people in the Pibby fandom, and I hope there's more to come. (((also sorry for being like 2 weeks late on this hghfdgjdfjkg)))

[@angelicpretty777]

the angry 30 year old balding men on the internet cant go 5 seconds without deeming something cringe simply because kids like it unfortunately. i for one think the concept of pibby is cool.

[@flaregamer64]

@@iZaNull The FNF community saw Pibby, thought "This is creepypastas for cartoons!" and then started pumping out the worst mods possible. The only one who is creating decent Pibby FNF content is Jakenutron, and most of the early (critically damaging) Pibby mods traced his artwork and outright stole his music. Not to mention the original Pibby teaser also came out after some creepypasta FNF mods released so the timing couldn't be better (or worse). It hurt both the reputation of the FNF community (before it got even worse) and even Pibby's own reputation for a tiny bit as the only thing from searching Pibby would be the FNF garbage.

[@affanjamsari5752]

The problem with Pibby isn't that I hate the premise or concept. To me, I do believe making an apocalyptic show about long cancelled shows (either forgotten or fondly remembered) rising up from the dead by a mysterious glitchy sludge is intriguing to say the least. The animation is also very stunning as well. What I do hate about Pibby is the entire fanbase itself. Pibby, since her grand debut on this wonderful blue ball we call Earth, has spawned one of the fanbases ever made (I just can't seem to find the right adjectives for it at this point). Sure, fanbases are amazing, but they can be questionable at times. Not the fanbase itself, but more so the people in them. The Internet has taken Pibby and converted this intriguing concept of a show into a corrupted shell of its former self. The FNF community practically had a field day with this concept. What they would do is basically take an existing IP (e.g. any of our favourite forms of media) and glitchify or "Pibbify" them into eldritch abominations similar to either Cthulhu himself or whatever the Thing is. It's absolutely disheartening and unbelievable at what these people are doing with Pibby on the Internet. There are many ways you can support a project, but milking it dry like a cow is not one of them. I'm not encouraging or gaslighting anyone into giving up support for this amazing concept, but I just need to vent my frustrations out. Nowadays whenever I see anything Pibby-related, I no longer see that intriguing concept it once emerged as; I see it more as a corrupted dybbuk lurking in the shadows in the hopes that it would possess an unsuspecting person in order to spread its influence in any form of media. I can't even bring myself to even call the Pibby fanbase as it is. No longer do I see it as a fanbase, but more as a sinister cult who only worship Pibby as an ancient deity 24/7. It's truly heartbreaking at what the Internet could do to a concept like Pibby. This is seriously one of the most disgusting cases of people obsessing over a single piece of media. I, for one, have seen far worse examples.

As an Australian, I've already post processed the loss of my favourite cartoon and that kind of media platform. In the 90's/2000's we had CheezTV it was a morning cartoon block hosted by actual teenagers and the idea was that they picked the cartoons and content coz kids know what kids are into. Honestly even though in hindsight I'm sure they had less control than we were lead to believe, but honestly it was prime viewing for kids. Like when they did the art submissions segments and the in between segments kids were still fully engaged. To the point where there was a huge petition by adults to revive it with the original hosts and even make it a web show. Alas, it did not come to fruition. But the two hosts are still legends to anyone who grew up around that time to this day. Related note, people still find the old intros and stuff to geek over and reminise about. But there is no feeling like finding that old VHS where you recorded it all coz you were gonna miss the end the last cartoons and wouldn't know what was happening.... NEXT TIME... ON... Dragon...Ball.....Z!

[as] died when it became half+ Fox leftovers. This is just the corpse starting to smell.

[@nathansteiner8595]

I'm still mad about them canceling infinity train especially after the show starting catching steam and getting really good. Also thanks for reminding me about galactic kids next and how it will probably never be made into anything. At least we still have stuff like hazbin, hellva, and murder drones even tho those aren't as big as some of the other stuff in the video.

[@dooperpop3977]

I loved final space with all my heart and I knew that it would eventually get canceled or shortened to the point where there would be an unsatisfactory conclusion. I am happier left with the show unfinished than mutated, however this fucking hurts I loved this show for so long and to never see a conclusion, future seasons, or anything of the sort hurts.

[@actualnotanewbie]

36:23 Summer Camp Island is actually coming back to air its final season next year

[@anthonyraymundobarron1255]

This is why I find Disney to be so successful, they don't make spectacular content, but they make consistent content. You know what the next marvel movie or show will be like structurally. Any contracts they make are closed shut. So getting out of them legally will cause more trouble than the people just waiting for it to end. Disney is not perfect, but they do have a darn good track record on how to not get into business issues

[@calamaria9221]

lol

[@ddl3718]

They made sure of that after Eisner

[@mr.goodboi2780]

This sure aged well

[@ma.2089]

You say that despite the fact Disney cancelled one of its best shows in years. A show with ample online support during a time where they’d make a killing cuz it takes advantage of how people watch things. But they were obsessed with staying old school and then realized that they killed their golden goose and admitted their mistake. It’s not as aggregious as what Nickelodeon, CN, ans AS did to their shows tho

[@anthonyraymundobarron1255]

@@ma.2089 True, all companies hate admitting that they made a mistake. Thats why they often wrap it up with new show releases. Many people will be more reseptable to a canceling if its addressed with the announcement of new shows.

[@PhysicalToast]

When MTV stopped playing music that’s where we went down the bad timeline

[@relaxralex]

Rip Venture Bros. Quite possibly the best show in existence

[@TheHumanPurpleTape]

Whenever people say "I don't like anime", it kinda blows my mind. Like, anime isn't a genre. The sheer variety of the medium means literally anyone can find something they like. My 64 year old mother used to say she didn't like anime until she watched "Erased" on Netflix. Then she watched Parasyte, Demon Slayer & now she's getting into tokusatsu because of Garo. My ex hated animation but was all in for High School of the Dead. My point is, never give up on anime! Edit: Also Primal is switching to an anthology & Peacemaker is safe according to Gunn 😁

[@EbolaWagon]

Parasyte is such an underrated anime. The only reason I know about it is cause of toonami. Also sucks that primal is switching to an anthology

[@TheNinja94a]

As someone who was avoidant of anime, it's just because I grew up on Naruto and similar shonen stuff, you know... badly written/one-dimensional female characters, power level stuff, etcetera. I learned that I just don't like mediocre anime, and there's a lot of it. But with all art forms, there's a lot of good art. People who say they don't like anime usually are people who've just seen the typical anime bullshit and were turned off. All you need to do is show them an anime with very little to no anime bullshit. I still don't watch anime frequently but I also don't dismiss the good stuff. Recently, Mob Psycho and My Little Monster were some I found enjoyable. One even makes fun of some typical anime bullshit tropes in Mob Psycho. And I love Reigen. Someone wrote a tweet way back that I think my brother can relate to-it said something like "Showing anyone anime is hard because you have to know how much anime bullshit they're cool with and you won't know unless you already know them very well".

[@branch7628]

I don't like anime because of all the sexual degeneracy not only around it but baked right into the content

[@naptime4foxy]

@@branch7628 That happens in western media as well. If you don't like animated innuendos (because mind you, that kind of stuff is illegal in Japan), you shouldn't be a fan of American/English television (non-animated) which has more than just intention and it's real human bodies/more sexual.

[@naptime4foxy]

It's funny because 'anime' is just the word for cartoon in Japan. Every country has animated films, but when it comes to Americans, for some reason too many of us (not me) believe it's "kid's media" so they don't both looking at it.

[@durellacell]

I love three busy Debras!!!

[@sethisevilone02]

Speaking about loving family guy I loved and still love season 1-7 of family guy It just makes me happy watching any episode from those seasons

[@Andigirl1992]

The cancellation of The Venture Brothers is a VERY close second for the worst event of 2020.

[@AshoreNevermore]

Pibby would be pretty cool as a miniseries. Probably not a full series.

[@scottroxford5715]

Well Primal is up in the air at the moment, hasn't been renewed but also hasn't been cancelled either, there's an interview with Genndy Tartakovsky floating around where he says he's busy with other stuff and season 3 of Primal is gonna be vastly different from the prior two and how he wants the show to be an anthology but he's not gonna force stuff out and when the ideas are there then he'll come back to it but we'll see.

[@Max25670]

The Discovery/HBO is going to be the catalyst of the death of Western animation.

[@wanderson5214]

Y’know I subscribed to this channel awhile back after finding the one hl2 video of taking milk to the end of the game and thinking that it was odd that you had so low subscribers and views despite the consistently good quality of content, so it’s nice seeing your channel get more views :)

[@weredoghaddock5008]

Final Space is my fav, sadly, it is gone. Hopefully not forever.

[@astrxlsev]

i think one day imma make a retrospective on cleveland show. cartoons/animation has been a bigg part of my life for like ever. i’m like the middle child of birth years, i was born in 05 so although i wasn’t around when adult cartoons first came out i was there to watch them grow. and being a tween tht had to much access to the internet i would watch futurama, robot chicken, family, etc on a regular basis and it really impacted me. the cleveland show started when i was like 3-5 and ended when i turned like 10. i remember seeing episodes air but i never really paid attention bc it wasn’t family guy. but there weren’t many show tht had the “vibes” or “aesthetic” of the shows i loved like family guy but didn’t have many black ppl actually in them or at the least well portrayed. re watching the show from the pilot when i was younger vs now, i have mixed feelings abt the show😭it didn’t age as well as we thought but at the same time its still a classic in my eyes.

[@keenkeen92]

Million Dollar Extreme was goated

[@yehusinede9913]

i'm surprised mde/sam hyde wasn't mentioned with the "internet personality going to work on a show" part of the video

[@Sireth]

Final Space being written off is such a crime. Olan Rogers put his heart and soul into that show just for them to lock it away so no one can see it ever again.

[@Dave102693]

WBD has been nuking their animation library lately. I'm worried about both CN and AS right now.

[@KMACKTIME]

They should have never canceled venture bros. Show was hitting it’s peak. They also should have picked up Gary and his Demons. That show is criminally underrated and a perfect fit

[@GoblinGam3r]

I learned Zelda from a ds game Samus I just knew and captain falcon from memes

[@RosenrotRtLiebchen87]

lmao, as a millennial i don't think it's inappropriate, i watched [AS] as a preteen, found it the first time probably after toonami i think that was when inuyasha was on there lol oh shit a Shenmue show? i played the game on dreamcast ages ago (the first game)

[@mondaysunday4290]

I was so excited for the uzumaki series coming to toonami. The author of the manga junji ito was helping direct it and the score was written by the guy who worked on hereditary. I WAS SO PUMPED AND IT JUST DISAPPEARED it’s terrible that business deals are responsible for so many creative minds being limited. Warner media is home to revolutionary art. Alt , edgy representation and stories that actually changed lives. But regardless the media isn’t gone. And if we continue to push to prioritize expression we can keep having these shows produced (supporting artists, crowdfunding)

[@bigglou]

The special is still happening. The reason it's been radio silent is because COVID impacted animation hard and it's a small crew working on it. They hope to have the series ready by Halloween 2023.

[@teodorapetkovic]

Not sure if anyone would have something positive to say on all this... except maybe great job for not ruining your sanity to make another extra long video!

[@kida4313]

When they cancelled The Venture Bros a part of me died inside..

[@OwainOwine]

Adult Swim cancelled XRA... they had this coming

[@logicerrormusic]

Final Space ended on the biggest cliffhanger ever that will never be resolved...

[@jacobthompson1682]

That final bell rung when they canceled Venture Brothers. It was a forgone conclusion it was headed into the bin.

[@ItsDeebs]

_Captain Falcon_ is from the *F-Zero* series. Which was a launch title for the SNES.
