I was pissed off enough seeing Scooby Doo walking on his hind legs, wearing
an afro, and hitting on human women. The day I saw that was the day my
childhood officially died.

Because it's Hollyweird. They believe that they can actually make a
picture about a guy taking a shit in the middle of the park for 2 whole
hours and it'll make $100 Million.
The sad part about it? People are suckers and buy into it.

RIP Misawa-san.
I used to have a handle on life, then it broke.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright
until you hear them speak.

When I finally get into the industry as a screenwriter, I hope to avoid that
sort of bullshit. Yea, sometimes it's hard to see $50k dropped in front of
your face and not take it for a job, but still, abominations like these
should be avoided entirely. It's like, at this rate, they'll be done making
movies about the 1980s by the next three years. Even Robot Chicken has
started to move into the 90s for material.

Sadly, yea, and a lot of them are kids who don't know squat about how
kick-ass these shows used to be when on television.

Because they think it will make money. 9_9
However, the pinnacle of 'animated awfulness', in my eyes, would be that
they answer the prayers of a few (specific) fans.
For years, there's been some call for a film or miniseries that allows
all of the available cartoon characters they/we were familiar with to
meet and interact with each other (or, in some cases, blow their
'rivals' to smithereens). If you can imagine, say, Samurai Jack and
She-ra joining forces to defeat the Horde and/or Aku or Kim Possible
teaming (reluctantly) with certain WOOHP agents, you'll likely scratch
the proverbial surface of the fans' imagination/expectations. ^_^!

Even a certain 'Pizza Box Jam' idea that I posted as an April Fools joke
in rec(dot)arts(dot)anime(dot)misc are products of this (decidedly
twisted) desire.
And it's not like the studios involved couldn't profit from the final
products...provided they were written/programmed well (HA!!) for the
appropriate audience (read: the nostalgic adults that actually remember
those animated oddballs) or, for that matter, that there was a shortage
of 'arenas' available. The 'universes' displayed via Daria, Downtown,
The Tick, Invader Zim, Megas XLR and Sam and Max: Freelance Police are
rife with pop-culture parodies and, therefore, ripe for 'exploitation'.
No, the biggest problem with a project of this 'size' (along with the
different writing and animation styles used in the original franchises)
is that the end product(s) will likely be(come) a 'cash cow' for the
studios' marketing departments with 'meat' that will taste as bland as
sawdust to the public tongue.
How many of you remember 'Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue', for example?
(There *is* a parody out there, believe it or else)
How many of you are still playing Marvel vs Capcom 2 or Jump Ultimate
Stars? (especially since the latter never made it to North America) 9_9
Even setting aside balance issues (in the fighting, item/'pet' collection
and turn-based strategy/Tactics games) and americanization (Voltron has
nothing on GoLion, apparently), there is the possiblity that, if the
resulting 'franchise' doesn't run out of 'milk', the public will lose
interest soon after its introduction (due to market saturation).
Even Drawn Together wound up in the sewer no thanks to Captain Zero. -_-'
But we'll see what happens, of course.
Although I, like the rest of you, have seen my share of (good and awful)
animated entertainment, I have been known to blow a lot of 'smoke' in
groups/forums like this.
Perhaps my skepticism will be proven wrong with the next game, cartoon or
graphic novel that plays on this idea (although I don't believe I'll be
holding my breath).
