And they've been killing it along with the DC comic crossovers. The IPs have been used in the most unlikeliest of ways and it somehow works.

What really doesn't make any sense to me is that WB pulled the Hanna Barbera license from DC Comics, after a new wave of HB/DC crossovers had been solicited, because they didn't like the more mature direction DC was taking the HB characters.
...Then a few months later they announce the Banana Splits rated R bloodbath horror movie. WTF, WB?
That's what happens when you acquire the FNAF audience and the creator pulls it from you for shitting it up.

Are you referring to that one time Yogi Bear's VA held a lesbian couple hostage with a gun and demanded the police to give him Pick-a-Nick Baskets?
Jonathan Brown
Do you think people were mad as hell at every single episode of Harvey Birdman? All of it was stuff like this. Booboo the bear was the unibomber for some reason, and also Harvey had sex with him.
I don't know where you got this idea that Hanna Barbera IPs are sacred. Even outside of adult-oriented material, they tend to be free game for in-house parodies. youtube.com/watch?v=kEoUUjDenLo
Ian Gray
Sealab and space ghost were both improvements.
Hudson Miller
From what I've heard, it's not even explained other than "the show must go on."
Brayden Torres
I'm sorry what?
The trips command it to be a true fact but what?
Caleb Martin
They got cancelled and didn't take it well.
Connor Clark
probably something to do with their AI. If the show ends, they end, thus the show must continue to keep themselves alive or some shit.
Asher Collins
Greg Burson?
Levi Hernandez
No offence but the only character you listed that probably had much value as a mascot past their prime was Fred Flinstone. I think Coast to Coast and Sealab 2021 gave those properties a second wind, and more people probably love them for those iterations. I agree shamelessly pretending the Banana Splits had something to do with the showbiz pizza/chucky cheeses anamatronics, just because they looked similar, was pretty dumb. But at the same time, the Banana Splits IP was probably the least valuable of the ones you mentioned.
Austin Bailey
I don't see how killing anyone solves that unless I'm missing something.
John Rivera
They killed the adults to keep anyone from rescuing the children, who they needed as an audience for their forever show. And I guess getting rid of the crew and production personnel needed for their show helps that, somehow? They're robots instead of mascot costumes like real life, so we're probably expected to chalk up any plot holes to the Splits being retarded.
Ian Butler
Yes.
Jack Lee
Why couldn't they just be crazed actors in suits?
Kayden Torres
my guess is that was just an excuse, it probably really happened because most divisions of Time-Warner hate each other with a burning passion due to decades of bad office politics poisoning the well at the company

Space Ghost Coast to Coast had enough detractors that Croker called them out in an interview with Keyframes.
So, I really don't know what's going on with the WB exces who axed the DC HB line for being to risky....

It's not adult like family guy, but adult like the original Flintstones. Like you'd see on the ABC thursday night line up

Neither was the comic like FG at all.
Jordan Barnes
How is nobody mentioning Mystery Incorporated?
Scooby Doo in a universe where there's nothing supernatural going on... well... aside from the Lovecraftian Nightmare God that's been driving people insane for decades, and is the root cause of all those folks who wake up and go "you know what'll solve all my troubles? Dressing up funny and pretending to be a ghost."
Austin King
>But what's next? Yogi Bear is now a convicted criminal who kidnapped more than just picnic baskets and the FBI wants to turn him in so he can pay for his horrendous crimes?
We did that all ready, but with Boo Boo in Harvey Birdman. Apply thyself.
Owen Rogers
I kind of wouldn't mind. Like the actors could have died and no one would have realized until the mascots were killed and they learned the actors have been dead the whole time.
John Butler
Mainly Scooby has never been gone. Mystery Inc is, in the public eye, just another incarnation.
Daniel Hill
I did, since I watched the original CN a lot. It just made me enjoy it more.
Grayson Perez
Stump's cover was still good though
Wyatt Gutierrez
Flinstines was good and Mystery Inc stays true to the original too. Mystery Inc also included Johnny Quest, Blue Falcon, and Mony Dick as in-universe reimaginings of the originals.
Gavin Price
I mean the idea of rebooting a kids show as a violent horror movie is a little tacky isn't it?
Yeah I remember them too. I think some people fail to realize that a lot of Hannah Barbera stuff from the 70s used to air on Cartoon Network before they started doing original programming.
Hunter Ward
Harvey Birdman and Space Ghost were different because they were more about absurdist humor than they were actual reboots. Space Ghost's popularity actually led to more close adaptations of it as well which wouldn't have happened otherwise.
Cameron Lopez
That wouldn't be shitty enough for the millenial audiences to make crappy reaction videos about.
Grayson Long
Honestly The Rubbles was the best Flintstones revamp thingy.
Josiah King
>all these reboots are shit >except the one with the gay furries I guess that was alright
They're desperate to hang on to what little relevancy they still have. They have a shit ton of IPs and the only one anyone really cares about now a days is Schooby Doo.

Holy shit these guys are pretty fucking cool.
Daniel Cox
The Banana Splits was pretty much done out of spite due to losing FNAF, but then again, alot of what's happened to HB's legacy has turned into a spiteful rhetoric. Just not usually because a creator told them to take the train after WB tried to fuck up their work.
Cartoon network gained attention by (initially just) poking fun at the bulk of their original library when it started as a rerun channel. And this kept going. You have stuff like Venture Brothers which is *supposed* to be cynical and dark, but others just decided to roll with bashing HB for the fuck of it for the attention. That's how Williams Street got attention with Space Ghost--who fucking cares that they were ultimately taking a dump on Alex Toth designed super heroes to make a self aware comedy series. Next thing you know, AS is packed with hack comedians who couldn't get their pretentious brand of 'humor' greenlit by a non-cartoon channel and just recycled Hanna Barbera animation to get their vehicles going.
There was never a huge "Loonatics Unleashed" or "Female Ghostbusters" level of backlash over debasing HB's legacy. People thought it was funny or didn't notice/care. Using HB resources and at least get some viewers and or a profit was the better option and while it did net us good shit like Venture Brothers, HB's legacy has been all but permanently tarnished.
Aiden Thompson

Christopher Collins
you're crazy if you think the way that AS handled HB properties was negative or debasing to the original content.
HB has a lot of iconic IPs but they also made a shit ton of clones of their own IPs which is often pointed out. Whatever wasn't one of their big IPs or a clone was usually forgettable garbage as was the case with Sealab 2020.
I will forever have fond memories of Sealab 2021, Space Ghost Coast to Coast and most if not all of the other HB AS spin offs.

>girl gets stars >starts shouting "dad! dad!" >dad holds her head and kisses her on the lips This movie is wild so far
Jaxon Rodriguez
People don't throw fits over the HB revivals because they're using them to try new and bizarre things, and they were cynical products to begin with. It's why people don't throw fits over Lasagna Cat trampling over Garfield's "legacy".
Aaron Phillips
It's an attempt to make the characters relevant again, since they ARE known IP that can be profited off of.
The Banana Splits movie was actually good, it was funny most of the time and the deaths were all various degrees of both hilarious and horrifying. It makes sense when you realize this was obviously Warner Brothers taking the already-working-on-it FNAF script that Scott pulled the license of, and reworking it into something they DID have the license for, another 4 mascot characters.
Autists that shriek over nothing are the worst. When was the last time the Banana Splits were relevant? That show ended in fucking 1970 user, the characters were never coming back without a good reason, and making a horror story out of innocent looking characters is perfect for actual innocent looking characters of the far past. Are you seriously on the same levels as the little girls that watch MLP horror youtube animations and go "MY CHILDHOOD IS LITERALLY RUINED!!!"?
Wyatt Thompson
And this is why you get no respect
Kevin Torres
The fuck is wrong with you faggot, that explained it perfectly within the movie.
These animatronics exist solely to entertain kids, that is their entire purpose in life. Their creator is an insane guy giving them updates that fuck their programing up all the time. The show gets cancelled, and the animatronics start getting mocked by their drunk human co-star, who laughs about how without the show they'll be turned into scrap metal.
That's all the fucking motivation the movie needed, the animatronics programming tells them they MUST keep the show going at all costs, and they're told they're getting cancelled. Some of them becoming killers makes sense in that context, this is a horror comedy movie and does not need super indepth lore, only an excuse to show you a guy dying when a lollipop is shoved down his throat by an animatronic strong enough to force it down there.
David Sullivan
They were going to be sold off to amusement parks or for scrap, this was stated directly in front of them. Their plan in the movie is to kidnap the group of kids that came to watch the episode recording, and to force them to watch shows they put on themselves forever. They kill the adults because obviously the parents will want the kids back, and the people that own the robots can't sell them for scrap if they died.
They had a whole secret bunker to have their show in and everything, the plan was fine as far as an AI goes, the goal was "the show must go on" so they interpreted that as forcing the audience to stay forever since they won't get a new one, and then they came up with a list of obstacles (parents, producers, staff) and eliminated them.
Isaac Adams
You'd need to be able to explain how the group got mass hysteria capable of driving them to that level of insanity. A big part of the threat is that the animatronics are very strong, being capable of breaking fingers and twisting them backwards just by grabbing your hand, and choking people easily. Another big conflict is just that you can't convince them of anything or relate to them, they're inhuman. That actually comes up in the plot of the movie, when it turns out not all 4 of the robots are evil.
Really it comes down to this being the end result of the cancelled FNAF movie, but plot-wise them being robotic was essential.
That one made perfect sense though, over time Scooby Doo had slowly raised the stakes, with several movies prior to Mystery Incorporated coming with the twist of "the vampires/evil videogame/whatever is real this time".
MI just raised the stakes, Scooby Doo is fucking old at this point and that tiny tweak completely changed for formula without hurting the characters.
Josiah Baker
just watch the Rocko's Modern life special, "static cling", it'll help you understand that change is important and a good thing
Christian Flores
The comedy is fucking great in it, my favorite early scene:
>Son is stealing money from his step-dad, step-dad walks in >Dad: Are you stealing from me >Son: Of course not! >Dad:Well, you know if you ever need money, you can just ask me, yeah...? >Son:...Can I have $20? >Dad: HAHAHA, Nope! (walks off)
I deleted my post because I didn't realize the dude's name was "Thad", at some point he asks her if her parents follow her on Instagram to set up him proposing. The best part was easily when the producer has to go through the course while they laugh at her.
Anthony Campbell
Wait, is this panel from an OFFICIAL Flinstones comic? Was the rest of it good?

First off, Hanna Barbera has been defunct for over a decade. It’s WB doing all this weird shit, as they own the rights. Except for Space Ghost, that was Cartoon Network Studios.

William Smith

Jonathan Cox
At least if its beloved it can make for an interesting subversion of expectations
Evan Johnson
WB always sounds like it's run by absolute idiots. Like that documentary that talked about Tim Burton's Superman movie got cut because they were somehow worried Tim Burton at peak popularity would flop and gave the money instead to Wild Wild West which did flop.
Ryder Nelson
How did one super fucking hot mom manage to solo two and a half splits on offense but those two dozen parents they found underground couldn’t handle at least one?
Ryder Rivera
We don't now how the parents died. It could have been something they had no chance to defend against.
She also had some advantages. The splits are generally slow and rely on strength to overpower people, and that really doesn't help them when someone can knock them off a railing, because they'll fall like a rock.
Really it's the same as every other normal protaginist who finds a way to fight when others can't.
Carson Gonzalez
>She also had some advantages Like those amazing tits for a mother of two?

Anthony Allen
Unless it's the Jetsons, Flintstones, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, or hell even Yogi Bear, most HB IPs are a dime a dozen. Find me someone who would honestly be mad at a Chattanooga Cats reboot where one of band mates Cobains himself. Im calling it now, once some Hollywood executives realize HB has enough B-Tier IPs just waiting to get turned into franchises, it gonna be a smorgasbord of endless reboots and revivals.

Brayden Wright
The old cartoons are cheap and dated, it makes sense to use what little brand power they have, take the names that people recognize and make completely different stories that might actually have a chance to attract an audience and succeed than to persist in making corny animations for a generation of children who would rather play Fortnite and watch youtube videos That Yogi bear idea would probably make more money than a cheap, flash-animated show on cartoon network

Reboots are not replacements, but one of many alternate universes for the vast market to consume. Don't like it, don't watch it. Getting buttblasted because there's a perecived audience somewhere in this wide wide world that likes this material? Kill yourself.
Carter Parker
For the most part WB could be it's own chaos dimension right out of WH40K.
Anytime something good comes out of WB its through either outside interference, the bosses being so caught up with other bullshit that a gem slips through to completion without getting fucked, or by pure fucking accident.

My dad's favorite superhero was Space Ghost, to the point that his bizarre childhood OCs were based on him. He watched it a lot when it was on Boomerang.
Daniel Phillips
Imo the "Banana Split" Death scene was the most greusome one because you could hear the rips of bones and flesh. What made it even more fucked up was that Drooper and Fleegle pridefully showed it off to the children whom they orphaned earlier

I’d let Drooper pull my hair.
Isaiah Thomas
It's not like there's a market for Hanna Barbera cartoons played completely straight anymore. Their properties are a lot more dated than say the Looney Tunes or Mickey Mouse and only Scooby Doo has really stood the tests of time while mostly keeping to its original concept. Letting creatives go buck wild with their properties is the only thing that will make any sort of money.
Parker Hall
It's honestly the only thing keeping old-school Trekkies from committing suicide.

Okay Yea Forums, let's say you are in WB's position, you have a ton of animatronic props created for a FNAF film and Scott pulled the licence, what would you have done with them? I would have made a Banana Splits movie where the twist is that they are robots who have to stop an alien invasion and it's low budget like Space Cop
Jason Hall
Have the real Banana Splits show up halfway through in their banana buggies to fight their robot duplicates

Go full meta and have it be about a group of old folks who grew up with the show trying to recpature their childhood and preserve it for the future.

It’s actually framed in a really touching and respectful manner. Barney has to deal with it too since Bam Bam is a survivor of the Tree People Tribe whom they burned to the ground in the war and Barney scooped up from the battlefield and adopted out of guilt for killing his parents
>Fred Flintstone is now a war vet who participated in a literal genocide. "Yabba-Dabba-Doo" is his coping mechanism for his PTDS(not even making this up) So does that give this a new fucked up meaning? youtube.com/watch?v=4Hft-fTHQWg
Hudson Adams
This still seems fucking dumb.
Wyatt Price
care to go into detail on your dad's weird space ghost ocs?
I know it's a meme that Yea Forums hates everything you like, but we honestly liked the Flintstones comic.
Now Wacky Raceland, that one was pretty bad. I think the only good moment in it was the scene with Dicks family, except that it was totally out of place for Wacky Races, even for one going full mad max. Plus then you had Dastardly & Muttley which honestly topped even Flintstones.
As a child, he loved biscuits and gravy, so his OC supplemented his power bands with viscous gravy and exploding biscuits, which he'd throw at enemies of galactic peace. Also he was best friends with the Herculoids because why the fuck not.
>Fred Flintstone is now a war vet who participated in a literal genocide. "Yabba-Dabba-Doo" is his coping mechanism for his PTDS(not even making this up) Fuck you the comics are great
>The only real reboot that made any sense was that one time they made Snagglepuss gay he wasnt before? I thought that was the whole... thing. In a sorta-blackface sorta way
A few individually sure, but as a whole many of their IP are worthy of legacy as well as HB themselves.
When we remember Toonami 15-20 years from now, we aren't going to be talking about bobobo.
>Next thing you know
The Tim and Eric non-comedy live action lineup and the HB parody were always in my mind two separate audiences. There was a time where there was overlap, like when Moral Oral was in the lineup with T+E, but really Space Ghost C+C is over 20 years old now, these HB parodies are well older than the non-con live action. Hell I'd argue that the humor for those shows are completely different and had different generations watching them for the most part. Now they are trying to recapture some of that same audience back, good for them because that's what made [AS] comedy good back in the day.
I'm all for people taking chances, there are very few occasions where the new material is so terrible that it sucks any life that the old material had. Frankly, most people won't know this new stuff exists and won't seek it out and will have fond memories of the older stuff anyway.
