Why do people keep saying this? Netflix just bought the rights to air it. They had nothing at all to do with it's production. It was supposed to air on Nick until the change in management.
Literally as advertised. I'm sorry if OP was right.
Wow, wonder why Nick didn't want to air this.
lol
that's quite a bait & switch
Because they knew their demongraphic.
But it wasn't about that at all, it was just a small part of the overall narrative of things change.
They didn't air it because the Hey Arnold special under-performed with their target demographic, and they expected the same ratings for Rocko and Zim.
I ask myself why they bothered to produce these specials. My only guess is that Nick was banking on grown up Nick fans to market it for them.
>It's about
It's a tiny fraction of the special you didn't even watch
Facts go against their outrage narrative
>Hey Arnold special under-performed with their target demographic
>was a direct, very exact continuation of the plot of a cartoon from about 15 years ago
gee Nick I sure wonder why this wasn't a hit with middle schoolers
That and the two fucking facts that they didn't even bother with a kind of marathon and that the movie premiered after a new episode of The Loud House -- a show their demographic actually recognizes.
TLH managed to get higher ratings as well.
I have no idea. I see no benefit for them from making these. They wanted kids, but it was never going to be kids that watched it. The support from adult fans is phenomenal, but they aren't doing anything about that. Honestly, my best theory is that some big guy at Nickelodeon had a nostalgiaboner for these shows and wanted to see them come back, and that's why they turned out so well with little executive input.
That, and the scheduler was being retarded by not scheduling a matathon of the show before the movie. It was always doomed to fail.
It's about accepting changes as time goes on, not just about trans
Why hasn't nick attempted its own adult swim? Is nick at nite still a thing?
>trans character has pretty small role
>just part of the larger things change narrative of the short
>right-wing snowflakes get triggered as fuck and try to act like the whole special was forcing trans stuff down our throats
it really is fascinating.
It was about both of those things. Also when has netfix done this before?
Stay mad brah
Funny enough this is one of the few places it works because trannies are everywhere and this is about modern life
cross boarders don't know anything about cartoon production and rely on memes in place of making an effort too even google something.
Low quality bait, Rockofags should move to /trash/
Yeah I was not surprised when Dib transitioned to Deb in the Zim movie
>Staticfags
FTFY. As long as they aren't about the special, Rocko threads are fine.
It was great, you’re just transphobic
Transphobes being Transphobes. Also good to see another fan of the film
Die Transphobe. Yea Forums doesn’t welcome your kind
NETFLIX CARTOONS:
not even once.
Netflix is actually terible, all big corporations have sacrificed the medium for politics.
Transphobes are funny. I’m glad so many people on Yea Forums liked the movie and Racheal, she’s my fav
STFU
The movie is great, and a lot of people on Yea Forums loved the fuck out of it and it’s representation and the way it was handled. he’s just mad he can’t write worth shit.
They hate trans people, is all. But don’t worry, you and I know this film drives shit like Enter the Florpus or Hey Arnold into the fucking ground and they’re enraged how much better it was then them.
I do
Welcome please share more drawings I like your style.
There’s nothing wrong with Static threads, either.
Being a namefag doesn't help your case of not being cancer user
God, you’re a retard.
The only cancer here is the Transphobes. Even Sh0e0nhead said loved this movies way of handling it and called you hateful fucks out.
Cringe
I know this is a bait thread and will probably continue to just be a flame war but whatever, maybe I can get a real conversation going in here.
The trans rep really struck me in the special. And I've been mulling over why this one example has stuck with me so hard over the past couple weeks. I haven't been able to get it out of my mind.
And I realized. every single trans character in TV, even the PC written ones, are in something that's gritty, adult, pretty much always live action, and with a heavy tone. But most of the shows that I really love are animated, lighthearted, often aimed at kids, and wholesome.
Is there anything else with a trans character in it that even kind of fits that description? I kind of need more of this in my life.
I literally cannot think of any other confirmed transgender in animation. I liked the trans stuff because it builds a nice dichotomy between Rocko not giving a shit about change and just wants his show and Mr. Bighead rejecting change
There's nothing "wholesome" about being a tranny.
>Every time.
Not every time.
Go watch Dark Crystal:Resistance.
Retard is an offensive word, you should really learn to be more respectful to people diffrent from you.
I had no issue with the trans stuff. It just wasn't really entertaining in any significant way. Too many parody on the nose jokes that weren't that great for me. Invader Zim's movie was way better in general and still had it's family/aw feels moments (Gaz actually cares about Dib, his dad treats him more like a son he just wants to take interest in his stuff, Zims the butt of the joke, but the Tallest get their punishment).
Maybe Princess Marco or something? I'm not really sure if he's supposed to be "trans" but he's not treated in any weird way for having his like dual princess persona, in fact he's respected in the world it seems.
Really I don't think trans people are at a point in society or media where they're accepted even nearly as much as gay men for example. Like there are cartoon shows out there with 2 dads or gay characters that aren't too serious but even then there aren't many.
Its saved by the fact we get grampa wolf
It would had been better it was one of those frogs that changes sex from Jurassic Park, it would had been more natural
Cutest best movie ever! I agree
Shut up.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! THISSSS ISSS CUTE I’M DEAD!!!!!!!
Very based
Marco should have been trans. You’re right.
I don't care, I barely remember Rocko
Oh shut the fuck up. Everyone on Yea Forums loved the movie and the trans rep, your right wing boomer tears are yummy. You’re just mad this movie is better then anything you could write by shitting on a piece of paper. Did mad Transphobe, Yea Forums says trans rights. I hope you were one of the people who were beat up in the Straight Pride rally by LGBT folks, if you weren’t. I hope it happens to you one day. Die mad
Fresh cis tears in my tummy are yummy.
Original series wasn’t that good, IMO.
Static Cling was great and Racheal was def the best part. Give it a go.

Mental illness and genital mutilation shouldn't be celebrated. If you despise the country and culture that you were raised in then leave instead of trying to drag it down to wallow in the mud beside you.
Because being a parent and hearing your child is a tranny is not fun and lighthearted, it's maddening and tragic.
>genital mutilation
What if I told you not all trannies do The Surgery?
They are still mentally ill and should pursue a remedy, not have their delusions celebrated by disgusting pieces of shit.
People should stop having your retardation celebrated and chemically castrate you so you can never reproduce either
Daily reminder that Atrazine causes frogs to change from male to female.
Touch a nerve, tranny lover? Mental illness is mental illness, dress it up how you like, clap all you like, you are a cancerous growth.
Farts in Transphobes faces
Die mad
People aren't frogs, tranny.
This art is cute! CUUTTEE!
Maybe later, after trannies kill themselves.
I think Marco's just a transvestite, not transgender.
We can change genders too, tho. Learn to love, or die mad
Yes, but it just shows reruns of F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
I will not endorse your delusions you broken fool.
Based and frogpilled
I think you have it in reverse. YOUR kind is not welcomed here, namefag
>"Hmmm... this sure is a smelly turd to put out there"
>"Netflix will buy it tho. Let's make it"
>they go out later to jump around on jetskis
Fuck off back to Tumblr while it still exists, namefag retard. You aren't helping, you're just furthering the escalation with your shitty arguments. That's all your kind ever does.
When you inevitably reply, you'll say "Stay mad, transphobe."
Seethe harder conservahick
I like that you “won’t endorse our delusions” but you also think the white race is going extinct
God weighs in with this character. A blessed event.
The fact that Zim went straight to Netflix should be all the proof anyone needs that this is the case since that had no political BS and has been very well-received.
THEY PUT CHEMICALS INTO THE WATER TO TURN FROGS GAY!
I'm not the one playing pretend my whole life because I'm beyond fucked in the head and get mad when people don't believe my ravings. Seethe harder.
Where did I say that? Point it out, tranny.
At least we got one good brief revival.
>show about subject matter pertaining to shit that happens in the 90s
>brought to 2019 where being trans is a prominent topic in today’s society
The trans thing really wasn’t all that bad. It makes sense to have and it didn’t feel out of place from old Rocko’s Modern Life episodes
>wasn't about that at all
>introduced in the 2nd half of the film and is the driving idea behind the "moral" of just blindly accepting change whether you agree with it or not.
Okay.
They were already in production in Jungle Movie bombed, so they didn't want to waste the money to cancel it I assume.
It would have done better had they marketed it, maybe had a goddamn marathon for the series. Their "target demo" doesn't know what the fuck Hey Arnold is.
Want some Alt Right tears? They’re mighty tasty!
Burned. Look at them squirm!
Grab a sharp rock, and smash your cock with it. You don't deserve to be male.
He’s just a moron. >_>
I hate Tumblr. :/
Speaking of the Bigheads, anyone have a GIF or webm of Bev’s titty postcards?
I’m not a male, hun. Sorry!
It under performed because the release date was on Thanksgiving weekend, and for some reason they thought people would have time to watch it instead of spending time with family.
The sad thing is he's somewhat right about this, but it's not some deliberate nefarious plot or anything. It's just pollution.
Rachel: “Well fuck you! I’m happy and so are my friends and parents!”
>he thinks he passed 100%
Nice one, tranny.
I’m not a man or a transwoman, but keep going.
Then, fuck off. Show your tits, or fuck off.
A faggot, I see
Ed would fucking beat the shit out of anyone who mentioned that statistic. Hate to break it to ya. He loves his daughter.
I’m not a man, a transwoman, or a woman. Keep guessing, it’s fun.
Post feminine penis.
No, he won't. He would abound that trans faggot. He wanted a son, not a trans.
See
Binary or genderfluid. Now fuck off.
>Not realizing that he "accepted" it because Ralph committing suicide is Ed's endgame
He learned to love her. :)
You're a deranged freakshow and one of them but just can't handle it.
Well here's my guesses.
>you're a transman
>you're some made-up Tumblr gender
>you sexually identify as Rumpelstiltskin
One Joke
Everyone take a good look at the namefag and always remember that's what trannies and tranny lovers look like
fixed
You have to be 18 to post here
I don't like trans people but this special was alright.
I feel "abomination to the natural order" is the correct answer here
It was the last third and has a literal wind of change tell big head to just get over and blindly accept it.
Ding ding ding! You first!
I think that’s the general sentiment, there’s just a couple goblins here with their brains leaking out of their ears
I’m 27
Stop defiling cute art!
I thought you said you hated Tumblr.
Stop making us sound cool as fuck
>I'm 27
Well you're not acting like it
You’re the one pissing your pants because people want to be referred to differently
You know there's more than one user arguing with you, right?
This. Like I said, their tears are tasty!!!
They’re all repeating the same hivemind shit
So many angry retards. Cute af
Nice of them! We ARE cool! So is Rachel!
Not all Trans ppl like Tumblr. Why do you think there’s so many on Yea Forums?
It’s sad. What happened to free thinkers?

Oh look, the insane creature is trying to speak to me.
Thanks for the laugh. I showed my girlfriend and she nearly pissed herself.
They're disagreeing with you. That's the funny thing about freedom of thought, it lets people have opinions that you don't like. That includes offensive, bigoted opinions.
>binary
>gf
Yeah, I don't believe you. Dilate.
>takes the bait
Suuuuuure, and there's a lot of racists on Tumblr... Actually, what I said was true because the left came from dixie land what's been going on in modern history is their piss poor attempts at making up for past misgivings.
Also you're not trans, you're just some guy who started using a dumbass label to make yourself feel special.
Based
I could take Ralph turning out to be trans (Alice from Superjail is funny and great) but the reveal was so dumb.
>So you have a mental condition that means you'll never truly be comfortable in your own body, which will cause you mental anguish for the rest of your life? WHOA THAT'S SO AWESOME AND COOL!
Like, even if you're ok with transsexualism, I don't think being a transexual is something anybody would want to be. Everyone should feel comfortable in their own bodies, but it's not that simple for some people and that's pretty unfortunate, not "awesome."
It felt like the writers had to walk on eggshells when it came to Rachel. While it could be argued that nothing would make some people accept >her, I think more people would have been more ok with it if the writers were a little less restrained about it.
It's kind of funny how Rocko's theme was all about change, but Invader Zim came out and hardly anything about it changed from the original show.
I have more balls then you, however.
There is a character from the Loud House who is trans, but s/he is extremely minor. So minor that literally nobody noticed until a couple of seasons later when the VA mentioned it.
I think someone asked Nefcy or someone else who worked on the show about "TransMarco" and they said he wasn't trans but they were aware of the theory so even though they couldn't have Marco chop off his dick in an episode, they deliberately tried to write him in a way that wouldn't sink the theory. Maybe ask in a Star thread about it.
Boy, you don't even know what it is to have balls.
I wonder why Nick didn't want to air Zim.
Fuck on and take a stroll.
Zim is a gross show, and they're too clean for that now

Blame the fact that regardless of buying distribution rights or actually producing it, Netflix calls it all "Netflix Originals".
If they'd call the stuff they bought distribution rights to something else (ie. "Netflix Exclusive" or something), that might help.
Granted people who don't do any research (even if they should, like one writer who tweeted about how Murray took Netflix's money) will still blame whatever they find the media on, however.
