I'm getting sick of retards claiming Netflix "ruined" Rocko. This special has been sitting for so long that it was originally supposed to air in Spring of 2018 on Nickelodeon. All Netflix did was buy the rights and slapped "A Netflix Original" on it like a month before release.
Nickelodeon didn't even have the balls to air it so you know they didn't choose the story. You gotta take your beef with Joe Murray.
cross boarding retards have really been making themselves transparent with this bullshit like it's not even funny anymore, i'd expect this level of knowledge from a facebook kid screaming at a show runner to release more episodes. not people who "supposedly" are regularly active on Yea Forums

I mean in the original cartoon there’s an episode where the cow goes to fucking hell and the turtle fucks the cat That’s why the tranny thing doesn’t surprise me, Rocko ALWAYS was a weird disgusting show I remember the hell episode was banned from Latin America for trying to fuck with religion

>Nickelodeon didn't even have the balls to air it They probably weren't satisfied with how it turned out and expected something different.
Doesn't Netflix do this a lot? Buy films that other studios don't want when they see how it's finished and make them original?

It’s almost funny because most of the angry posts REEEing over the trans frog sound like they could have been written by bored housewives

Nick didn’t want to air the Rocko/Zim specials because TJM didn’t bring in the ratings that they’d hoped and the new management at Viacom is less interested in reboots/revivals
Camden Martinez
What was there gameplan for this anyways? I mean, they weren't intending to launch these revivals into full blown ones, just one offs (and Zim is the only one that really would have potential, Arnold and Rocko are way too much products of their time that kids these days wouldn't be interested in). These are made for the older audience (that's mostly contained to streaming), but what were they planning to do with that? Somehow get adults to start watching Nick again? They don't have the even-remotely mature-er cartoons these days to entertain them with, and they won't care about the boomer nick at nite shit if they even do that anymore.
So what exactly did they expect to get out of this?
They probably were hoping today's kids would latch on to these old properties because it's less work and less risky than creating something entirely new (probably also less expensive to test the waters with a special instead of a first season of a new show). This is why Rugrats is also getting revived and there's two upcoming spin-offs based on SpongeBob and Loud House. They'd consider an adult audience just a bonus.

They turned one of the characters into a tranny, so what did you expect

I watched it and it was really accurate in parodying millennial life. The ending summed it up well here, Change is coming and we can be greatful for the lessons of the past but clinging to the past or rushing to change isnt viable on either side.
