I hated it's "ugliness".

It didn't. And it is remembered more than shows that CN promoted more/took more pride in like Dexter or Courage.

>>131040000Yeah I don't get why modern shows get chastised for being ugly yet EEnE. I don't even like modern cartoons I just thought it was kind of odd.

Five seasons, 4 specials, a movie and dedicated spots in CN's promotions for years doesn't exactly scream failure.

>>131039991>5 seasons and a movie>Remembered and beloved to this dayOn what planet is that failing?

Wait fail. Even "Peach Tree" season wasn't that bad and the film was a nice capstone.If an HD Collection existed I'd own it.

>>131040041>>131040042>>131040054>PPG>six seasons, over a hundred episodes>tons of toys, comics and video games>a film actually released in theaters>an anime spin off and a rebootThis is what success looks like.

>>131039991It didn't. It had six seasons. Tons of specials and a made-for-TV movie. In what way do you think it failed OP?

>>131040034Modern shows ARE ugly, dude. They just aren't ugly on purpose, like EEnE was made to be. I didn't like Re & Stimpy either for the same reason. Dot ever try to compare the low effort shit they release today to modern classics though, lol.

>>131040097Compared to some other CN shows like PPG posted in this thread.

>>131039991I don't think it could have succeeded harder. Widely regarded classic, retired when it was still good, had an excellent finish, and no soulless reboot to tarnish its legacy.

Aw, sweet. A contrarian thread.

>>131040034The characters of Ed Edd n Eddie were made ugly on purpose. Modern cartoons are ugly because of incompetence or cheapness.

>>131040080Did it have any GOOD games though.Pic related wasn't amazing, but still fun.

>>131040019>courage >on the same level as Dexter's Lab It's arguably as failed as EEnE.

>>131040080Dexter also had toys, video games, and even fast food promos. But people connected more with EEnE than they did Dexter or PPG. Just compare frequencies fan art, youtube video views, and online discussion. EEnE was CN's spongebob but they were too stubborn to realize it.

>>131040080Don’t forget it’s also getting a live action show, something that only Ben 10 accomplished in terms of CN shows.

>>131040190That`s gonna be an absolute shit show in the hands of the CW

>>131040174>EEnE was CN's spongebob but they were too stubborn to realize it.In hindsight, it was a blessing in disguise. Better to end after a good ten year run than devolve into a franchise zombie.

>>131040213We don’t know that for sure. Better to be optimistic and wait for the final results.

>>131040121>>131040129I don't get the knee jerk reaction towards reboots. Do people get this upset over the different takes on King Arthur, Robin Hood or Sherlock Holmes.

>>131040080>PPG is killed, get its corpse raped, and then shamble until the cycle is repeated again>EE&E dies with dignityyeah...so jealous

youtube.com/channel/UCLiD5R9zNdNmEdyr_F0w2AQ/videosLook at the amount of views the short clips of a show that ended over a decade ago uploaded to an unofficial channel gets. What a lasting impression a "failed show" left on millennials.

youtube.com/shorts/x8qY7MlLk04

>>131039991Failed? It was one of the longest-running shows in CN history, had a whole tv-movie finale and everything. Most of the other Cartoon Cartoons were either canceled or revived by a shittier production team. I'd say Ed Edd n Eddy was successful in every way.

>>131040292>Ppg: violence, explosions, gross out and shock comedy, gay devil.>Nu-ppg: boring slice of life crap, cut a woman's breasts off, twerking, one off character that everyone totally loved and needed to go her people need her. It's not that hard.

>>131040110Saying a well-recieved show with a decent budget and tons of episodes isn't really a fail. It's the second-best ranking show of the whole network. What else does the show need to be successful? It needs to be Powerpuff girls? That's like saying every show needs to be Spongebob. But okay why did this successful show not reach the absolute peak of success as opposed to just being really successful.Not sure. I am not a fan of the show so I can share my gripes. I don't like how they never win. I don't like how most episodes are them scamming and fighting each other. I don't like how they are kind a jerkish. Honestly, if the show was more about them just being friends and hanging out with the other kids rather than just scamming them all the time I could see it doing better maybe. I don't know I mean I would like it more but not sure if it would mean it would be The next Simpsons.

>>131040329Yeah, I hate garbage threads like these when the cock sucking OP vaguely claims a show "failed" without elaborating.

>>131040233Let's not forget the final "school" seasons of Ed Edd n Eddy aren't as fondly remembered as the first four, with Eddy's douchebaggery hitting unacceptable levels and the plots not holding up.We're not talking Savino-Dexter levels of bad here, but still a bad sign.

>>131040352I still don’t get it. Any take on a property is still valid no matter what. Is Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century less valid because it’s not like the original?

>>131040399I think Danny must have realized that, hence why he decided to wrap it up with a movie instead of a full season. Hell, the movie itself seemed to ignore the school setting and had the action start in the cul-de-sac.

Reminder that CN wanted EEnE to keep going but Antonucci was adamant about ending it.

>>131040439the random ass sound effects are still so good

>>131040443There's a podcast out there where one of the head writers/production memebers mentioned that danny was in the loop of the changes happening at cn (CN real, all that shit) so rather than season 6 and 7, he chose to end it with the movie. Guy saw which way the tide was turning, and ending the show before any damage was done

>>131040292A good thing doesn't need a reboot. So many reboots, remakes, sequels ect. in modern media it's a drag. New media should be encouraged, not dragging out an old recognizable IP. That the vast majority of them are shit and soulless cash-ins and it's easy to tell before watching, so there's little faith in them. Stuff like King Arthur and Robin hood are legends and don't have an original definitive media source. Sherlock Holmes is a cultural icon from over a hundred years ago. There was one author as its the definitive source and he's dead. Your examples are different mediums bad long-established legacies. You can't really impede on them with a visual adaptation, and since a definitive visual adaptation does not exists there's more a grant to it as a new thing altogether.

>>131040233I agree, in the sense that both EEnE and (early) Spongebob are tied for my favorite cartoons of all time. And sure the school seasons were not as good, but they really weren't bad. The series ended at just the right time, and it got the perfect movie ending that most shows can only dream about.

>>131040399The school season may have been weaker but dam if the eddy running the school newspaper, Rolfs blood feud with wolfskin ed, and the school jailbreak episodes were great though.

>>131040593The man will go down in animated history as a chad.

>>131040507>New media should be encouraged, not dragging out an old recognizable IP.All "new" ideas are just remixes of older ideas. We should be encouraging that mindset, like with Blood and Honey.

>>131039991Just play the online game.

>>131040080Yeah and now they can revive it endlessly and ruin the franchise forever.Meanwhile Danny Antonucci owns the rights and CN can't make a new show without his approval.

>>131040665The Fad Freaker build still viable?

>>131040190>something that only Ben 10 accomplishedThose were tv movies, if you wanna get technical. Still waiting for that AF jacketI don't want to imagine how a live-action Ben 10 reboot would look like.

>>131040658Blood and honey is just a horror tinted flavor of SJW shit. They made the movie just for shock value, not for art or telling a story.

>>131040665Shit I thought they were shutting down the servers like King of the Hill Online. Need to see if my Annoying Jonny is still usuable.

I remember feeling heartbroken when I read what happened with Tony Samson, Eddy's voice actor.

>>131040909>Sampson retired from acting to work in the oil sands industry in Fort McMurray where he operates heavy equipment,[1] and later revealed this was because the production company he was working under threatened to blacklist him from the acting industry after requesting a modest raise.[2] Damn you get so fed up getting paid voicing background characters you just say "I'm going to go operate machines forever and ever".

>>131040413There are good reboots like Scooby Doo Mystery Inc for example. The new PPG suffers from, well a lot. Bad writing, animation, character design, etc. If it had been good I'm sure there would still be people complaining, but it wouldn't be ONLY complaints.

>>131041003Eddy was his only leading role. Every other role he got was an annoying secondary character (Fred from Transformers Armada) or a bit-role (one of the many explodees from Gundam Seed)

As tired of it as I got as a kid near the end, it didn't fail so much as run its course, so ended. It's a better fate to go to sleep on a good note than stick around as some zombie series stretching way past its prime in endless gag schemes as every character slowly morphs into a parody of what they once were.

The popular shows didn't become popular by following everyone else.>>131040100I actually like EEnE's art direction, the characters are ugly, but the style and designs are charming

>>131043233Unrelated show, but that actually why I Am Weasel ended so soon. It was a popular show, being the fifth highest rated of it’s time, but it sadly ended due to a regime change, which lead to Hanna-Barbera Productions becoming defunct and merged with Cartoon Network Studios (which officially opened in 2000 where shows like Time Squad and Samurai Jack were being developed) and Warner Bros Animation.Dexter and PPG were also Hanna-Barbera at first, but continued under CN Studios since they had higher ratings. Courage was made outside CN Studios so that was spared.
