  • Hey, I was curious what your signature was, so I watched the cartoon (and here's a great restored version on Archive.org)! GOOD GOD WAS IT FUNNY! I was LOLing at the sound effects too, and of course Mel Blanc as Foghorn Leghorn was just hilarious plus the writing was so good! Thanks for inspiring me to watch it! I've watched Looney Tunes recently now because of both you and @Meko . XD
    I never talk politics because to be honest, few things if any depress me more than politics (it's not like I know much about politics anyway). But in the lights of today's events, I send a big, warm, platonic, virtual hug to any of my American pals around here, especially those directly affected by a few plans the old toupée has stated he's cooking. I feel like we're all gonna be affected by it in some capacity for the next four years, but you more than anyone, I wish you to stay safe and strong. Don't let anything stand between you and your mental health. Take care, embrace life, embrace things that fuel your happiness, and stick together with the people you care about, and who care about you. Times are rough, but nothing is stronger than the human spirit. So let's honor it as much as we can, no matter what.
    Congratulations to a really cool guy and forum friend (meaning you Wile E.)! Have a very merry happy birthday!

    Here, have a birthday card:

    Hey, remember me? that big charity bash a few years back, the one the joker robbed? i was the clown girl holding the gun on ya!
    I like the ''real name'' you have displayed in your profile. But you better be careful as Mud spelled backwards could also mean ''Dum''
    Yeah, Freakazoid! really is great. It's probably the closest we've ever been to a show that's been improvised from A to Z.

    Well, last night I found myself in a position where I figured I could just watch the last two episodes of Monsters at Work and not feel like I wasted any valuable time doing so.

    As previously mentioned, while I can understand what they were trying to go for with revealing that Randall  was the actual sabetour, I stand by what I said about how it comes off as a massive Ass Pull and one that leaves me feeling gaslit! Despite the cold open of the 10th episode trying to justify and explain it all, it comes off as then trying to fit a circle into a square peg and feels as though it just contradicts everything related to the already terrible Arc Fatigue in a desperate attempt to make it slightly less bad by not going the 100% predictable route of having it be  Henry/Roger . At least in Harley Quinn Season 4, they were just upfront about  Harley killing Nightwing  despite how everyone watching already figured that out two months earlier and not pull something out of their ass like it actually being  Clayface  which would've made no sense at all. The fact that Randall  barely does anything just further fuels my belief that the idea to bring him back wasn't the direction they were originally gonna take and were completely unprepared once they made up their minds.  Chet's turn was better built up and more earned. 

    That said, while they don't redeem the season at all the last two episodes actually were decent-ish and an OK end to a season that just left me more and more drained the further it went on. Tylor didn't come off as unlikable really, but more of the same as the majority of the season where he's a victim of Informed Wrongness, though it really only applies for the 9th episode of the two. Though I'll be honest by saying that the conflict with him scaring Ben  fell flat because it was just retreading what the original movie did with  Scully scaring Boo , and just came off as more of the unwarranted bleakness that'd been rampant all season.

    And I'll admit that it probably was for the best that I'd already spoiled myself on Randall  before watched these as I probably would've been more pissed off by the reveal and gaslighting that came with it if I was watching it as it happened (especially if it was also in the same day I saw Student of the Weak, which also suffered from a similar case of audience gaslighting for the sake of it's plot).

    Overall, while the damage was already done, the last two episodes were enough for me to change the season's current label to 'disappointing' which while not good is still better than being labeled 'terrible' even if it still stands as one of the worst non-FG, AD! or TD seasons of a show that I've seen in a while.

    (quick tangent: If I'd already not known that Steve Buscemi was brought back as Randall , I would've thought it was a different actor at first because of all the returning actors he sounds the most different compared to the last time I heard him in Monsters University).

    @MaggotMagnet Normally I'd try to make it at least halfway into a show's first season before determining if I should continue or not as they're usually trying to find their footing in the first few episodes. But should you try that and you're still not into it, then yeah you're better off dropping out of the show as whatever issues you've got are likely worsened in the next season.

    I'm glad you gave the last two episodes a shot and found them rather okay-ish all things considered. I feel like you love the word "gaslighting", aha ! Anyway yeah, they have their good things and things that fall a little flat like that return.

    @Wile E. the Brain Well, it's really the only word I can think of when the show was baiting me into going one direction, and then on a whim suddenly decided 'nah!' because they didn't want to be 100% predictable when in all honesty they were worse off for making this decision.
    The (arguably) greatest Looney Tunes cartoon ever is trending, I love it. It's cool to have the confirmation that LT's brand of humor has aged so well for the most part, predating the Internet's own brand of humor by 8 decades or so. And someone out there still believes that a Wile E. Coyote movie will never catch on.
