ohhh this looks like another Cartoon Network IP.... uhhhhhh The Amazing World of Gumball the Cat...
Eh, the creator is a big fan and he is right that the original was really goofy. So this is a spoof reboot and I can get behind that. I liked the 2010 reboot fine but in hindsight that horrible love triangle they put Cheetara in was crap and it was good they cancelled it.As for people calling it lazy or unimaginative... you do know the 80s toons were already done in Asian countries because that was cheaper and lazier, right? And that's why old 80s toons all tended to have that comicbook meets anime look. Also, Thundercats, He-Man, She-Ra, Silverhawks and so on were all basically the same formula We are just so attached to them because we watched it as children. It wasn't better, it was just another time period.

Not to mention treating kids like they're dumber then a pile of bricks.The creator definitely is Not a fan. Not any more then Jon Chu was a fan of Jem.

CN has an interesting approach to creating cartoons nowadays. The storyboarders are essentially the writers, animation is still being done overseas but there is more control over style, plot and character development, which I like.Most of the style is due to CalArts. It's at a point where people in animation are openly hating on it and I can understand. I have no horse in that race as some modern cartoons I enjoy have that CalArts style and are still amazing to me (Star vs the Forces of Evil on Disney , for example). Also there was a time when everything on CN was cynical slapstick cartoon violence with really thick outlines. Samurai Jack and Teen Titans were the only toons of that era I liked. Most of those older toons are unwatchable to me nowadays because they had no story and had annoying characters and all had thick sharpie outlines and looked really deformed. CN has all those CalArts people do properties on what they love. That's very imaginative to me and better than the same formula disguised as different series (80s), slapstick cartoons (90s) or cynical nastiness (00s).As for that guy not being a fan... well he said he is and showed his collection. Some fans love to poke fun at the things they love (like me!) so I need to wait and judge after seeing a few episodes.I am just tired of every reboot getting booed before it even aired. The 2010 reboot of Thundercats was trashed by fans, had bad viewership and now suddenly everyone likes it. So predictable I mean... people in this very thread have praised Johnny Test over modern CN. Johnny. Freaking. Test. A poorly flash animated rip-off of Dexter's Laboratory. Yeah no, I will watch the new Thundercats if Johnny Test fans hate it already! It can only be better than JT
