[@theshamanite]

Unpopular opinion, but I liked Problem Solverz. The visuals are unique, complex, and have a general pixel-pop art fusion aesthetic that I don't see a lot of the time. The bright colors, while painful to some, are a feature of the work. What the show did with its first season was make a background that was original in how it popped, and despite a lack of focal point, it made the entirety of the shot worth looking at. This gave the illusion of a full and brimming world, and I'm dubious that my last point is wrong in most people's eyes.

[@troyklk7734]

@@prosperosmoon it's just the type of show I could get high on LMAO. I really do like the visuals as in style though it's just the execution isn't the best (those that make sense) Let's call this "modern acid" Well this animation attempted to make "modern acid" but kinda failed, but if collar palettes and some other flaws were corrected this show could be alot better. But the animation itself obviously could not hold this show up espically with the lack of unique writing and such. But yes I do like the "modern acid" idea but the way this show went about it was little... Ehhh

I feel bad for the creator, he looks like this was a passion project he probably felt his life had been building up to make and now its on people’s lists for ‘worst cartoon ever’. It feels like the show suffered from him having too much creative control combined with his lack of experience I wish it could have been more like how the second season was described, at least a generic cartoon has more of a chance being remembered fondly by the kids who grew up watching it than a widely hated one

[@SteelPanda220]

That reminds me of Fanboy and Chum Chum. I read that it’s creator, Eric Robles, was really passionate about his show and was really hyped to share it with the world. But it ended up being among the most hated cartoons. Poor guy. 🤣

[@rohan_christopher]

not really, ben jones was and remains to be a very accomplished and important artist, at least for an "indie artist". neon knome was definitely his "passion project" i think given that hes been working with those characters forever, but problem solverz was already a sort of bastardized version of that (though i still think its brilliant) and i dont think he holds it very closely. ive talked with him about it though and it seems like hes scared to do anything with neon knome again because "problem solverz almost ruined it" which is what makes me sad. he didn't lack experience, everything in the show was a very conscious artistic decision and the philosophy surrounding his and his collective paper rad's animated work was always to be very deconstructionist and "amateurish." they loved working with flash and all the bizarre inhuman things you could achieve with it. i dont know if theyd put it that way but thats definitely what they practiced. the show should have never been on cartoon network, it should have remained a pffr production on adult swim. it would be hailed in the same breath as xavier: renegade angel if that were the case, because the adult swim audience tunes into that network (at least at the time) for much more avant garde work

[@nexalusthegreat1630]

@@nexalusthegreat1630 they don’t look awful, in the way that you mean. They’re intentionally designed to look fucked up and I love how they look. Like Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring is made intentionally dissonant and experiments heavily with tonality, something that could be perceived as being “ugly,” but it would be silly to say “why didn’t he just make it not sound awful?”

[@nexalusthegreat1630]

@@rohan_christopher just because something's intentionally bad doesn't mean it still isn't bad. I've seen shows that are intentionally bad in a certain aspect of it (such as with many adult cartoons having strange/disturbing art styles and animation like Mr. Pickles), but that doesn't change the fact that it's still bad. With Problem Solverz, it's definitely meant to emulate an acid trip of some sort, but the art style, animation, and colors are so god awful to me that I hate it. I'm not saying you can't like it, more power to you, but I'm not gonna think something bad is good just because it was intended to be that way.

[@beenis9842]

i feel like the most unforgivable sin in making a cartoon is having your character designs turn the audience away. That is the fucking main thing that hooks people into a cartoon. It's borderline why fucking animation was invented, so you could hook people into your story without them even hearing it- they are hooked purely by the intrigue the designs of the characters illicit. and the thing is you can have a shitty character design and have that hook people, it all depends on the context in which they sit. In this case, they are somehow visually offensive but also boring, and the backgrounds behind them offer no respite to the onslaught of shitty designs/colors. It just fucking sucks.

[@cynicalducky1041]

indeed,its like the animators have no idea which colour complements what and what colours contrast each other,making it painful to see the animation at all.Not to mention,the show has no shading making every scene look bright and adding the fact that the colors they use are never dull but vibrant makes it worse to watch. The art style is...something that a 1st grader can come up with on MS paint in my opinion,I mean a good example would be Tuxdog,his mouth is just 2 circle shapes and 1 small circle to form a dog's snout.The show also has no idea how to focus on its characters as seen by the VERY DISTRACTING backgrounds and background characters. I suppose the show is good for one thing...teaching future animators that knowing how to design an appropriate art style,shading,colour theory and knowing how to focus on your characters is necessary for an animation or you would end up with this mess.

Yeah, I was one of those folks who HAAAATED this show but knowing more of the history of it, I can see where things went wrong. From the sound of things, Problem Solverz would have fit on AS better but even more than that, they should have given the creator more freedom to make the shorts at his own pace without having to adhere to a weekly series that was written by committee. It's clear that the guy is an artist and what he makes only runs on a plan he comes up with, not suits that are trying to sell this to kids. I also notice that the animation in both the original short and the series also fucks with the artist's style. In the original, it's more jerky and works better with the almost 80s/90s video game style to it. It has a creepy feel that works WITH the world but the version that aired on CN is just standard Flash but it moves too smooth with the style of the characters and just looks bad. I know feel kinda bad about what happened knowing the background of the person who created it, his work and so on and while I still think ended up on CN was complete and utter garbage I blame that more on the people tried to make something that would have fit so much better with an older teen and adult audience with stone humor on CN and trying to....play it safe while pretending they were 'edgy'.

When this came out, I associated it with Adventure Time and Regular Show. It felt like CN was just pushing out randomness to see what stuck. There was also some other stuff like the one about the 2 robots in the post-apocalyptic future. Adventure Time and Regular Show were the only shows that survived from this period in CN's history.

Man, I liked Robotomy. And then it was gone.

I showed a picture from Problem Solverz to my dad and he had a funny reaction to it, since he's color blind, my dad compared Problem Solverz to a shirt that gave him a headache, everytime he ironed it.

[@SRLovesPandas1]

I always thought this show was trying to hard to get a “stoner” visual look, with the wacky colorful visuals from an acid trip. It gives me headaches.

[@chaotickreg7024]

I mean... 🤷‍♂️ I guess yeah. Is that why I like it?

[@SobiTheRobot]

Psychedelia is hard to get right as a cartoon style. You can have bright, popping colors, but for fuck's sake, still try to use some color theory and don't blind us with oversaturated tones all the time.

This was one of my favorite shows as a kid. The show was so weird, and strange, and almost scary at times because of how many things was happening at the same time. I understand how it was definitely an abandoned, grossed show because the way it is, but it truly did hold a special place in my childhood, making me into the weird kid I am now!

10:58 tbh having this subtle comparison was really satisfying for me to see, I can appreciate really surreal artwork but CN wasn't the right platform for it, I think this was a really good example about how contectualizing trainwreck-looking artwork correctly is really important and I think is kind of an under-sung(?

I loved this show as a kid. I watched it obsessively and had some weird obsession with Roba. I was a sensory seeking kid and didn't get out of the house much at all so this was a blast of sensory sweetness. It was different than anything I've seen and I craved what it provided. The writing was forgettable and got on my nerves at times but I couldn't stop watching because of the visuals. I think this show would've been a HIT for adults (who can handle the sensory better than kids) and if the writing was way better
