Him - "I like this vanilla ice cream"

Me - "That vanilla ice cream was fine but it didn't have any fruit on it so I didn't like it as much as ice cream with fruit"

You - "WHAT A FUCKING MANCHILD ICE CREAM DOESN'T NEED FRUIT ICE CREAM IS JUST ICE CREAM YOU FUCKING MANCHILD REEEEEE"

Maybe I lost my inner child when a teenager but adventure time was a meme, srsly that ice king backstory sequence was a big dumb here's a wow so deep moment in a children's cartoon, and gravity falls fell into the pretending there's a meta plot trap.

Dropped off it like a rock despite watching it with a mate, and nothing is boring when with a mate. Though this was around the time I was still watching MLP. But that had coherence, a meta plot that wasn't the advertised plot and have too much variance on power levels or stakes. And I liked Ed, Edd n Eddy but I don't know how to say why I'd prefer that over Adventure Time without resorting to the art style wasn't cheap and I liked the characters more probably because they were dysfunctionally abrasive, often times wrong and hilariously slapstick when punished even when they didn't deserve it.

Did they actually look at the book by season two or were they doing meme shizz similar to that LSD cartoon with the blue jay and raccoon?


Frak now I'm remembering that weird 3D animated thing with a guy named Wasabi as the villain... who owned the megamall everyone lived in... quite a corporate dystopia. And then there was a weird leatherpunk/scrappunk biplane 3D animation that I think came after something similar but with cars... neither of which had a plot where things happened despite having that as their premise. Then there was a racing one with... I don't know, I just remember it airing for barely any time at all before the plug was pulled and I saw one episode with a robot racer staring up at rocks falling from the ceiling whilst saying "So many possibilities" before being crushed by a rock. And the many iterations of Scooby Doo happened too... and now I sort of wish Wacky Races got a reboot but not because whilst the pilot had a voice actor I recognised, it was mostly here are some unfunny characters saying they're going to do the stupid thing, then we get to see the stupid thing, then we get to see them doing the stupid thing, then they say oh no I did the stupid thing and then that's the joke heyuck heyuck.

I think adventure time was really valuable. It's enjoyable at our age but I know kids who grew up with it and got to enjoy the zaniness with the underlying mature lessons that came with it. It kind of operates like surreal art where it makes you feel the answer to things rather than assert it like an after school special.

Gravity falls was good too, the meta plot is deliberately concealed, especially in the first season, through all the clues and ciphers and shit. Nerdy kids get obsessed with that shit and my cousin was all over deciphering everything. By the end it comes together really nicely, and ends strongly without trailing off. The books were just the mcguffin to drive the plot and get all the villains interested in messing with the kids and the shack, and give some variance to stakes other than just implied death. Plus it's a good example of digital art done right.

My little sister still watches MLP and it's a lot more watchable than most of the garbage I guess but I think it's nowhere near as good as the other two mentioned.
