OTGW and IT

Since Infinity Trains finale has gotten a rather lukewarm reception, I want to know why or what Over the Garden Wall did to make it so good? Both it and IT are 10 episode mini series, but OTGW is seen to be a master piece. So what did it do right that Infinity Train didn't?

Easy:
- fun characters
- actual mystery
- emotionally satisfying resolution

Infinity Train:
- QUIRKY BRITISH ACCENT ROBOT
- THE TRAIN IS TULIP DEALING WITH DIVORCE
- TULIP CAME TO GROW AS A PERSON... SOMEHOW

Over the Garden Wall:
- Wirt and Greg and the rest of the cast are actually fun, interesting characters. There's no QUIRKY character, no FLUFFY TALKING DOG character, the characters are actually special and interesting (the talking horse wants to steal... Beatrice wants to sacrifice Wirt and Greg to the witch, then changes her mind... and so on)
- Wirt actually grows as a person when he realizes he loves his brother and sacrifices himself for him, AND he realizes The Beast only has power over you if you're afraid or you give up or let yourself die.

So basically the writing on OTGW is good and the writing on IT is mediocre at best.

Plus I'm fucking tired of QUIRKY ROBOTS WITH A BRITISH ACCENT

More tightly paced so even though it was mostly unrelated vignettes there were definitely through lines and motivation to guide the characters’ actions

Yeah one one fucking sucks

Infinity Train's ratings were nearly five times better than OtGW and they didn't have to pay Elijah Wood's voice acting fees. It was a resounding success.

but it still has bad writing.

Whoop, my bad, did the math wrong, IT averaged (1.18) to OtGW's (0.2). It did nearly six times better in the ratings.

Oh hush, Amphibia having four times as many episodes to generate content from as IT means that IT is already forgotten while Amphibia continues to get hundreds of replies a thread. You're punching an infant and claiming to be the heavyweight champ.

youtu.be/IDUp2sAWreQ I mean, this scene alone is better than the entirety of IT

Where the hell are you getting your numbers?
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Garden_Wall#Miniseries_(2014)
OTGW average: 1.26
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_Train
IT average: 0.5

So, what, you thought you'd lie about ratings and hoped nobody would check?
