Next up for Nickelodeon era of shows, who is your favorite character from each of the early 2020s Nicktoons shows you've seen like: It's Pony, Glitch Techs, Kamp Koral, Rugrats 2021, The Patrick Star Show, The Middlemost Post, and Star Trek Prodigy? While the last batch had signs of it with The Casagrandes spin off and Pinky Malinky being on Netflix instead of Nickelodeon, this is when Nickelodeon really started to get heavier on Nicktoons based on the older IPs over original ones. This was also when they began premiering Nicktoons on streaming such as Netflix and Paramount Plus before the main Nickelodeon channel, likely with streaming getting more popular.

Okay to get this out of the way this time I haven't seen Glitch Techs (Heard it was good), enough of Middlemost post to properly talk about it, or Progidy, though I do want to see those last two. I also haven't seen shared between this and paramount+ show earthspark or the just release paramount+ show but counting it here since i talked about nick's other three tmnt shows, tales of the tmnt. By the last era we'd already cut the cord and most of these shows didn't last long enough or in progidy's case.. I've just procastinated. So i'll be throwing in two brucy bonuses to compensate.

Anywways

It's Pony: didn't see as much as i'd like, hope it's on plus, but I thought it had a nice cozy charm to it. Dont' raelly have a faviorite character but did want to mentoin it as it was quite good I just never had a chance to catch it.

Kamp Koral: Honestly Iike the fact the Sardines are a cabin.. larry may be close second as his fitness cabin is wholesome. But honestly.. .there isn't a lot here for me to grab onto despite having seen a LOT of this with my neice with watching her back when it first started. This show is meidocre at best which is disappointing as I LIKE a good summer camp set show (I'ts weird I never watched more of summer camp island with that in mind), or film, but this.. is just nothing. It has good ideas: the various other cabins, letting side characters like lady upturn, larry, kevin, or the sardines return or have a sizeable roll, and the retcons are at least given an explination (Sandy rewrote history). It's hampred both by the impressoin that this show happened quite ltierally over stephen hillenbergs dead body.. and just being mid as hell. The animation is cheap, as tmnt 2012 already proved nick COULD do a cgi show on a tv budget that looked really nice and would prove it again just a few years later. Without the expressivenes spongebob has in it's 2d form (something that sponge bout of water and the sandy cheeks movie were able to copy much better), this feels lifeless and it feels like they really didn't have a ton of ideas to do with this unique setting that hadn't been done before aside from the sardines episode. It's just kinda there at best. It's so boring.

Rugrats 2021: Hadn't seen this one either, still gets it's own entry as I tried part of the first episode.. but couldn't get into it. Not knocking the voice actors too hard, but It just never really caught on with me. We stan Betty being an out of the closet lesbian in this house and Susie getting upgraded to main cast, but it dosen't seem like there's anything I really want from this reboot not helped that I didn't appricate the original at the time, so why would I watch a version that was okay. Might watch it this holiday season for some reviews coming up but that's about it honestly. Still sucks it was removed from paramount +, hope they sell it to someone else instead same with something.. else we're going to get to

The Patrick Star Show: Squidina: she's adorbale, compliments pat well and while her inclusion is a retcon, honestly spongebob continuity is so paper thin it just dosen't matter. At this point how he met sandy has been changed entirely by time travel, patrick's had two sets of parents and another sister who dosent' exist. Making what I was shocked to find was an unrelated side character his nerdy adopted sister to make his show work better is fine by me. The first episodes were fine, just nothing really specail to me, but I heard the show did get better and do want to try it in this form as the soft reboot seemed to have worked and seems to be more in the spirit of the classic seasons while being i'ts own thing.

It's why while this show was also made over stephen hillbergs dead body, it feels less souless... Talented people did put genuine effort into saving it unlike Kamp Koral which is just.. there, and it seems to have worked. And honestly while I like a good camp story.. the patrick star show is the more unique concept. Kamp Koral is just "spongebob but a child at camp" . It COUDL work but it's hampred by using almost the entire same cast as the parent show.

In contrast while Spongebob, Sandy, and Squidward are also present here, their not the main focus. Patrick is. And while that honestly sounded like living in a living nightmare... in the pre revamp episodes it worked okay. Unlike planet sheen it's clear even in it's larval form, they got what made pat work as a character, so simply switched up the dynamics slightly: squidward is still annoyed by him, but the main foils instead the oft annoyed but far more patient with her big bro squidina. Spongebob and co are there.. but their there in support of patrick, flipping thingsj ust slightly enough and it makes sense his best friends would be there. It helps they have some really fun designs as teens. I love spongebob's slick backed hair and squidwards acne and shirt. Small changes on his and sandy's front but it' smore than kamp koral.. just making them smol and giving them outfits. So a show I honestly want to see more of as it geninely seems like it turned a corner. Could be wrong but evne then it's at least a worthy side dish to spongebob and feels less like digging up a corpse for money.

Big Nate: This one also DOES count in my eyes as it was reaired on the network, but is one I hope gets transfered somewhere. Faviorite is the boy himself, as they transitoined him well and ben giroux does a great job, though Gina as always as close. i've bene honest about loving comic strips before in this retrospective, and at the time this show aired big nate.. was fine. Stuck in a rut it's since got out of, but kinda stuck as some strips gets going through the motions and repeating gags that didn't work the first time.

Big Nate the cartoon... is a great adaptation in part because it takes some of the strips weaknesses and does away with them. Not all sadly as yelly outdated coach sterotype coach john and nate's stalker kim are kept for reasons I can't process. The former maybe, as he's useful for jokes and faculty plotlines, but the latter..

But for the most part it instead fixes a lot of aspects of the strip that didn't quite work anymore or needed a refresh: Nate's friends Teddy and Francis are more loyal and more resonable foils than "assholes who constantly insult him", with Francis in paticular being far less insufferable, instead being a truly fun friend group you root for. Gina is added from the jump and god bless them for it. I love that theater kid. (With Chad also there and pretty much a member of Team Awesome, as he should be). Nate's "hit on women like a jackass" tendnenices, while sadly relaistic to a 5th grader, are toned down, and his family gets more to do: Marty is still pathetic but it's not his oly schitck and dove cameron does a great job as his sister.

Overall the show was really good having a gorgeous peanuts movie style art style that matched the strip, it got the tone down right while adjusting it and while it wasn't always perfect I have a LOT of respect for it. Sadi it got screwed over. Hope it gets another chance

Fairly Odd Parnents: A New Wish : I need to watch more of this but... man is this good. Faviorite is Cosmo with Peri a close second as he was my faviorite in the og and that's still true as while he keeps the voice that can be mildy grating but is fine by me from the later seasons he's back to peak idiot and back to half a whohle idot.

After what I hear was a diaster with fairly odder, A New Wish is everything a revivial should be: it respects the original amazingly with TONS of callbacks I wasn't expecting thus far or have read about, and a premise that's so obvious i'm shocked it took this long to try it: Timmy's gone having moved on naturally at some point as the series constantly hinted would happen which is sad, as he looses his real parents, but means he's doing okay for himself as an adult instead, and we get Hazel instead, a new kid for a new decade. Hazel is the perfect foil too lacking Timmy's arrogance and selfishness , but still keeping the short sightness that comes when you give a child the power of a god. Hazel is a kind, wonderful little bean who like Timmy will often use her powers to help others, but due to the series having a heavier continuity, actually learns from her wishes.. it dosen't always work but it's nice that it's not a death loop of terrible mistkaes. Not saying that death loop wasn't funny, but it works better in this era

The show keeps the basic premise that works but weeds out the stuff that didn't: gone are the sadistic teachers (not saying those don't still exist but we've been there), and neglectful parents (the only one left is played dead seriously), kept is the magic hyjinks. It seems like the bulk of the cast from the original who'd make sense to show up (and i'm sure more could), do. The revamp of peri got a ton of buzz and rightfully so having him be the seemingly suave but really just very tired foil to both his own god kid and his parents is perfect, especially with wanda rest from the nag to half of a whole idiot and having the very plausable reason for him not having been around simply been them smothering him a bit much, which fits both perfectly. He dosen't hate them, he just wants to find his own way while honoring the family buisness.

As youc an tell by the several paragraphs.. I love a new wish. I hope it does well and gets to go on a while, the creators certainly have the ideas for it and frankly we could all use a little magic.

OJO FINAL y comienzo DE LA CALIFORNIA

Juan viene o me veo con el despues de tener sexo triste con Carolina, en medellín, en la confrontación, yo le apuñalo en la garganta, quitandole la voz, y obligandolo a dejar de tomar por 6 meses, una experiencia nada placentera.

En el final, años despues yo me encuneto con carolina en el parque del pblado, y mi amigo arturo me dice que ella me quiere hablar...

fin.

con la lectura trabada d alvaro mutis, se me vienen comienzoas, me gusta como empieza el prologo de lecumbreri,

Este libro es osbre las piscinas, el amor, filial, y erotico, pero sobre todo sobre las piscinas, de este mode le alivio el trabajo e alos futuros estudioemse de esta mi humilde pero digna bobrae,..

lo mas importante es el estilo, y el comienzo, apues es la primera bocanda de estilo... la historia paciente lectori mio, es secundarioa, de una vez puedo delcarar que se trata de la histoira d eun triangulo amoroso, emas especimifmcament la historia de dos amigos, que ocurre que son tio y sobrhino de sangre, se enamoran de la misama petisa. Y no se de donde emerge la palabra petisa, dado que no pertenencda mi vocabulario de uso diario, ... eso me lleva que en tanto estilo , y comienzosd, se puede pensar en almenos de netrada dos comienzos, diferente, s por una lado el de dirigir la vos de una al lector, sin ambajes, si me lo permitis, te voy a echar un cuento de algo que nos paso a mi tio a mi, como una cuneto de borrachos en una taverna, de echo el escenario de muchas de las andanazas aui contenidas, ocurren en bares, heladerisa,s tiendas,, estancos y ares, ..

te voy a arrar de la volas lector, vamos a echar a volar las pretensiones, ganamos lo a la herny miller, esto no es un libor, es enl intento patetico de un libro que, porn una lado tienen una historia convenciola el menage a troia, y un estivlo, menos convecional pero mas estragado.

el otro comienzo es en el que esto es sobre las piscinas, y sobre la vida que trasncurre al redoer, en realcion, de prosimidad o lenajania con las piscnias,,

´poderia empezar con el topografico resume, el oringe geologico y temopora, eso fascilicta la lecutra, .. yo solia pensar que una histiria que uno empezzara con la lista de personajes o con el setting, esra una un dadaismo adulador y pretensioco...

pero leí a henry miller y me di cuenta de que esabta squivodaco

no se squivoque el lector, que hasta aui nos acompaña, la histoira es , como dije convencional,, puede que el estilo y conscusion sena menod que meidocres. en todo caso lo piremo y lo sengu es el estilo, lo tercero es el tema, y muy por lla, por dejancho la trama.

puedo empezar en media res, como un filme. digo filme en lugar de lpopleicula, por probar, o por jugar, pronto caigo en cuenta de que es una improvisacion torpe, algo manido, me cuesta arrancar con este estilo, como calentando el motor a punta de brazo, de un motorcitllo eunuco fuera de borda.

❝ i just thought you should know: i’m celibate now. ❞  with absolutely no preamble, caroline dropped into the seat across from him, sliding over his usual drink before taking a sip of her own.  ❝ as in like, i’m swearing off men for good. men are done. cancelled. totally off my radar. ❞  which was basically her way of telling him that last night’s date had gone to shit. evidently no matter how many times matt tried to tell her otherwise: he was still hung up on elena. and so went the great tragedy that was her dating life. at least she had ben. caring. loyal. considerate. her rock of a best friend --- ben. the perfect guy. her perfect guy, if she’d ever consider herself even remotely worthy of him. which she wasn’t.  ❝ maybe i should just join a convent. ❞          /            @darknessoverwhelms​   +   based off this !

i love it when people are asked for unpopular opinions and then say the exact thing 99% of people say about the thing

in this case its like yes the cgi lupin movie is meidocre writing wise but everyone loves it bc the animation is great, and wouldnt like it if it was animated with the current level of quality the 2d movies have. thats not a hot take or unpopular opinion. thats like. what everyone thinks.

Try Not To Trip Over Your Racism

https://bluepulserjaime.tumblr.com/post/164224717791/honestly-i-cant-understand-how-female-4rkos

Honestly I cant understand how female Arkos shippers consider Jaune attractive. Because male Arkos shippers obviously proyect on Jaune to shag Pyrrha… But who the fuck considers Jaune attractive when Sun, Neptune, Sage, Fox, Yatsu and even fucking Cardin are all hotter that Mediocre Cracker McSelfInsert?

1. How would it sound like if I said yu only support Sea Monkeys because you wanna fuck Sun or Neptune? I’d sound like a jackass; Now think about what you said.

2. Because Jaune is decent human being, learns from his mistakes, is loyal, is kind, can be thoughtful and is well meaning?

3. I’m going to point out that all of his non-insulting alternatives are darker skinned characters, he used the term “cracker” and is the guy who started “White Meidocrity.” The only reason that he dislikes Jaune is because he’s white. The mediocre part comes from Jaune being white and the slef insert part is part obligatory attack against Miles/ Miles is white...ish (he’s part Mexician.) This is akin to me saying shit like “thank god there aren't any blacks on the CRWBY because those c***s would drag the show down”, bitch about Blakc Sun and then say a group of white guys while calling Sun”A Dumb Backwards ass N****r Blandcharacter.” And excepting people to believe I’m worth listening too.
