It says here you want to make a 22-minute "action cartoon show." Care to explain?

Actually, I want to split each episode into two 11-minute segments that can be aired in any order and abruptly ends in the middle of a plotline!

Ratings are low and merchandise is selling badly.

A tight plotline with marketable material will fix both of those problems.

Why does Todd Howard care about my cartoon pitch? Is he only preparing me for a real pitch? Will he teach me how to lie?

Todd. it's 2016. It's the future. The world is ready of it Todd. Transgender Muslim Ninjas from space, Todd. Think about it Todd. Now is the time. It has never been more imperative that we do this, Todd. We'll be rich Todd. Rich. Think about it. Kids like Ninjas. Teens love Trannies. And cucks love Muslims. It's time, Todd.

Well..Muslim Ninjas are a thing..so I would give you that.

Muslims in space? I don't know, doesn't sound very original.

Oh so YOU'RE the asshole responsible

Yes.

Today, gentlemen, we are fixing Sonic the Hedgehog.

Dr. Eggman has disappeared, but strange mechanical towers have appeared all around Moebius. Like Eggman, Sonic's animal friends are being abducted everywhere and completely or partially roboticized. Sonic and Tails have attempted to reach the top of these strange towers, since that appears to be the source of this problem, but even their famous plane can't reach that far.

Meanwhile, the landscape of Moebius is being procedurally harvested by deadly robots. They seem to be converting all plant life into a gel as food for…something.

Before an area is cleared out, there's a deafening HUMMMMM that's heard in the area.

Metal Sonic, presumed dead, has re-emerged and seems completely in control of himself, and uninterested in Robotni…Eggman's evil plans.

Oh, and Metal Sonic has been able to enter cyberspace, which seems to be the key to all this.

This is literally Digimon Adventures 2.
Digimon control spires, digivolution being restricted so they can't just destroy the towers, dark rings that mind control digimon, metal sonic is interchangeable wroth black wargreymon. Parts of the world getting eaten is from the fourth season.

STOP FUCKING WITH ME user

it's also moby dick.

TODD IS A REAL X-MEN

You know, I didn't even notice the similarities because I must have just blocked that show from my memory.

It was just so bad.

Now, the good ones I'll remember forever.

Yes, I want to make a Godzilla cartoon series. It will include monsters from all the series and films. The premise is that in the 20XX's humanity warred with each other and created monsters as a result of this war. Humanity had to band together to fight them creating the EDF: Earth Defense Force. The deadliest monster of all is Godzilla. The series will open in black and white. The godzilla theme song plays and the Toho logo shows as if it were an actual Godzilla movie It takes place in Tokyo as Godzilla ravages the city, a small Japanese child runs for his life as his parents give him away to a soldier for safety. The kids parents are crushed by debris from Godzilla's attack. The kid is distraught seeing his parents die right in front of him and develops a hatred towards kaiju especially Godzilla. Now the show is in color 20 yrs later the kid is grown up and the soldier who took him in raised him as one of his own. The kid is now a soldier in the EDF ready to fight kaiju. Godzilla hasn't been seen since his attack on Tokyo 20 years ago.The kid is forced to escort a psychic chick who is studying kaiju and is a bit sympathetic to them. The kid hates kaiju and he and the psychic chick argue over their differing views but a new kaiju appears in the Congo. It's a giant bat monster so the kid and the psychic are sent over to capture the beast and study it. The kid is skilled but ultimately can't stop the beast until… Godzilla shows up and whoops its ass. That is the pilot episode.

The cast will be the kid and the psychic chick. They will argue but grow to get along and possibly have a romance. there will be other characters like the soldier who took the kid in becomes a colonel, Captain Gordon from Godzilla final wars, The HEAT team from the Godzilla TAS from the 90's will make an appearance and much more.
The factions will be the EDF, the Red Bamboo: an Asian terrorist group who feel the EDF are fascist and push around people with the excuse of fighting kaiju. They seek to use kaiju to fight the EDF. Other terrorist groups might show up to seek regional power. Aliens will appear like the Xillians, ape men, and cockroach people. Also a race of people from underground will show up as well to release Megalon on the world. The show will be an action show with sci-fi, mysticism, and other bizarre shit I have an idea for some of the arcs and this will be a good action show like the ones from the 90's and 2000's. It will have old and new kaiju and tons of references to other Godzilla properties and even other kaiju and tokusatsu things like Gamera, Kikaida and Ultraman.

yes to show that sometimes you can't reform everybody. Some people you need to put down.

I want to make a show that appeals to preteen boys and young men.

We have a young male protagonist - or a small group of male protagonists - who are granted special abilities by pure chance. Maybe in a freak accident or something.

This event is what ties their destinies together, sealing their fates to fighting crime an - eventually - saving the world.

We'll mix thrilling action with nasty and cunning villains with the mundane struggles of their daily lives - think Spider-Man, but more self-aware. We want this to be a little fun, too.

We'll have some romance sprinkled in there, but not that it takes over the show. We're not making another Korra. See, this is where we get the young men demographic: the character design. The art style. No Cali-Art here, friends.

We'll have attractive character designs for both male and female characters. Rule 34 bait, maybe, but it's better than looking like Steven Universe.

We might actually pick up the female demographic the same way Danny Phantom and Teen Titans did. We won't be pandering to them, however. They liked those shows just the way they were, they'll like this just fine. We are not becoming another Supernatural.

This will be a serialized show, with little to no filler. Each episode leads into the next in a tight, consistent plot. Kids these days aren't stupid. If they can handle Young Justice, they can handle this.

We're not going to shy away from character deaths, either. If we have to take a toonami time slot, so be it. Kids can handle Naruto and Dragon Ball Z, they eat that shit up. They can handle this.

Here me out, Todd. What if each episode played out like a film serial, making them more like self-contained mini-movies? The art style will also be similar to the old Fleischer Superman shows, making it more dynamic and fluid. We'll also need a classical orchestral score. Oh, and this choice is going to be a little risky, but we're going to have the characters shoot guns - real ones, not those laser like in GI Joe.

So what do you think?

Sold.

Sold - anything to get people off of Social Justice Universe.

Yes, it will.

You know..it astounds me how the Fleischer Superman shorts still looks better than the stuff we have today.

Because animators were cheap as dirt at the time and each episode was made on a budget comparable to Disney's films at the time.

I want to make an animated version of wrestle mania

If it's only Wrestlemania 17..I approve.

They used rotoscoping, and the episodes were only about 10 minutes long and there was a limited number of them.

The episode budget was apparently $50,000, whereas Snow White cost $1,488,000.

It was 50k in 1940, which is closer to 800k today.

OK, you've got a green light. And more good news: we've got Kevin Hart signed on to play Batman's wise-cracking robot buddy.

Snow White's cost is not adjusted for inflation.

Why is the director of Bethesda reading my cartoon pitch when I haven't even printed it yet?

No it doesn't Todd, there says "Dramatic cyberpunk animated film with action scenes", stop lying

Something Something Something - do it like Steven Universe

IIRC, BTAS got away with guns by having them be old-fashioned, tommy guns and such.

I'd watch it. I'm really amazed that there have only been the two American cartoons based on Godzilla, and that's it. It's an idea that thrives on the monster of the week formula. Maybe if the next American movie does really good someone will think to do it.

Yes Todd.

Kinda cliche, but I'd watch it.

I was recently reading about the history of anime and apparently Astro Boy had to submit to demands made by its American broadcaster because the production was too reliant on the money received from selling them the rights. One of the demands was that the series should be episodic, no over-arching story. Later, when the same studio made Kimba the White Lion, the same thing happened. This was in the 60s.

Most of the stuff Fleischer made is better than now

...

You better include the Hitman and the Bad Guy as part of the main cast
