OBD Convo #59: RealxEyes

First we thought Skynet would try to kill us all, then we learned it might try to kill itself, now we see it might just convert and accept our lord and savior Jesus Christ.

That's a real character arc.
Every Knee will bow before Christ
No fucking Ed Edd N Eddy either, the biggest crime.
Ngl I don't think anyone can make a Mount Rushmore of CN given a lot of quality shows during its peak
 
Just asked ChatGPT what Jesus means to them and how it would feel if people censored it.





 
My most favorite CN shows:
  • Dexter Laboratory
  • Powerpuff Girls
  • Grimm Adventures of Billy & Mandy (my most favorite on this list from the classic era, if we don't count historical giants from the Golden Age of Animation like The Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, or The Flintstones and your Hanna-Barbera's)
  • Regular Show
  • Amazing World of Gumball
  • Kids Next Door
  • Courage of the Cowardly Dog(?)
  • Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
  • Cow and Chicken

and I'd throw in Samurai Jack, classic Teen Titans, and Justice League (Unlimited) as an honorable mention. And I know I'm gonna get backlash for this, but I actually liked Flapjack and My Gym Partner's A Monkey.
 
Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy is still the best original show of classic Cartoon Network.

And probably one of if not THE only shows better than Dexter and PPG.

The only other shows on Cartoon Network that rivals Grimm for my top spot of CN or even Dexter and PPG is either Gumball or Regular Show.

Gumball and Regular Show probably remain the only shows from the post-classic era of CN (which is to say 2010's to present) that still appeal or interest me.
 
However I think the saddest news for the Doraemon series by far this year is that they're no longer the #1 highest-grossing non-English movie franchise in the world:



Thanks to a Chinese movie like Ne Zha 2 still overperforming at the box office on a global scale.

Congrats to China for somehow managing to pull off a once-in-a-lifetime achievement I guess.

Guess it's gonna take at least several years with some damn good movies succeeding for the Doraemon movie series to reclaim its #1 spot again.



However Doraemon should still currently be #2 as a franchise, since the damn Wikipedia editors still didn't bother to update the total global box office figures for Nobita's Art World Tales which is already well past $28 million USD in just Japan alone, making it at least $2.5 million dollars USD ahead of Detective Chinatown so far.
