No argument there.
/thread.
Lincoln Robinson
Yes, it certainly is a cartoon.
Juan Bailey
Yes, that is correct.
Colton Jackson
This show would work better a some comic.
I think it got charm, just not animation chops to be a straight up cartoon.
Juan Baker
For once I agree with OP
Adam Nelson
Fuck you I liked it
Robert Lopez
it being essentially an animated webcomic is exactly why it was so amazing
Jaxson Walker
This user gets it.
Brody Anderson
Very
Gavin Ortiz
it was solid.
Mason Martin
Yeah I loved it. While I would've loved for OK K.O.! to become Cartoon Network's next big hit, I can admit it had a good run. They still owe me that Hue Troop miniseries tho
Ryan Gonzalez
>They still owe me that Hue Troop miniseries tho
That poster wasn't fanart?
Aiden Harris
Nope. It was a planned spin-off that the network passed on:

As much as I would want a Hue Troop spin off, I can understand why they passed on it. I, for one, have no faith in Ian's writing ability. It probably would've ended up like Steven Universe where it's marketed as an action show but it's mostly just the girls dealing with SOL bullshit.
Kayden Robinson
man the new bodysuits are good
Aiden Carter
>marketed as an action show but it's mostly just... SOL bullshit
Steven Universe was both. It had tons of action sequences, but the core of the show was always to explore trauma, familial conflict, mental health, and relationships (both romantic and platonic). The Crewniverse never shied away from what they wanted out of the show, but way too many fans fooled themselves into thinking it was some space epic strictly focused on a galaxy-wide war that'd end in one big battle. It's no surprise that CN would emphasize the action part of the show to try and attract their target audience first and foremost, but even they still put plenty of focus on the sillier, more mundane antics of the characters.
In the end, Hue Troop would've been a series from Ian JQ (the dude who literally left SU to go make a more action-heavy cartoon) and Mira Ong Chua (the board artist behind some of OK K.O.!'s most epic action sequences with plenty of anime influence). Their collaboration paired with the shorter miniseries length gives me faith that they would've done everything in their power to make it feel unique from its source material; even the development art hints at that. You should WANT a spin-off to feel different from its source material. Otherwise, just keep that shit in the original show.
Gabriel Richardson
Shame on you for doubting based Ian's writing ability, but good on you for recognizing Best Girl.
Jeremiah Reed
I miss him so much. What absolutely stung was how I didn't even know the show was ending until 5 months after the finale aired. Aghhh goddamnit
Robert Hill
>What absolutely stung was how I didn't even know the show was ending until 5 months after the finale aired.
That was me with Apple & Onion...
I'm honestly surprised you didn't realize that was the OK K.O.! finale, though. They weren't exactly beating around the bush there. It was made pretty clear.
Parker Barnes
my cob that line art is mouthwatering
Brody Butler
How OK K.O.! managed to get caught in the crossfire of the Warner/AT&T merger and failed to become CN's new cash cow is beyond me. There is literally no reason it shouldn't have run for at least six full seasons. CN should've protected it at all costs.
Nathan Gutierrez
I'll never stop thinking about her...
Eli Robinson
It was garbage and deserved to be cancelled. I guess executives really do know what they're doing.
Landon Watson
Jose Barnes
KO was really released at a bad time as he got jewed out of his scheduling and advertisement
Austin Morales
>everyone mourns OK KO’s cancellation
>proceed to ignore Mao Mao and allow CN to get away with stashing that show under a rug
What is with Yea Forums and Twitter's Disney obsession? I see The Owl House and Amphibia spammed constantly, but absolutely nothing for cartoons from other networks. I'm not even sure that many people are aware Craig of the Creek's gonna be premiering new episodes daily for the next two weeks. Is Disney all you guys know??
Jackson Long
This. Lost potential, could have took COTC's place as a mascot if they had their shit together.
Mason Collins
Is there any art of post fusion KO?
Adam Walker
Its nice to hear that other people liked the show as much as I did. I recommend it to everyone, I got a friend to watch it and she's been loving it.
Camden Cook
1. OK K.O.! died because of bad timing. It came out too early to benefit from streaming, so it had to suffer under Cartoon Network's experimentation with binge release TV schedules and piss-poor advertising.
2. I have no doubt a big part of Craig of the Creek's support from the network comes from CN wanting to pat themselves on the back for having an African American protagonist and plenty of LGBTQ rep. I love CotC, but I can see right through CN's clear favoritism. How did it end up being the one to live out all the other shows that came out around the same time? This whole ordeal feels shady as hell.
Grayson Bennett
That's what I like to hear. As long as new people can still discover the show and fall in love with it, then I can't be too bummed. Just wish the amount of new fan art these days reflected that.
Do you or your friend have any favourite characters or episodes?
Parker Wilson
None that I've seen. But have a cute KO x Dendy drawing while you're here
Jayden Wright
I'm such a huge fan of the show that my favorite character changes by the day, sometimes its Fink and sometimes its Enid and sometimes its just KO. I can truly say I have something to love about every character and the only one I dislike is Brandon.
For my favorite episodes, I'm drawn toward Rad and Enid focus eps, Second First Date and Special Delivery really stand out because I love their relationship and Enid getting called out for being a bad friend really resonated with me, as someone who's been in Rad's shoes with that kind of friendship. My number 1 has to be "We're Captured" though, just back to back slam dunks of good jokes.
On a side note, I think "Hope this Flies" has the best OST out of all of the episodes.
soundcloud.com
The sad racing theme from when Rad's van gets blown up at about 2:10 is just so good, I feel like I'm the only person around talking about how out of this world the show's OST was, they got Virt AKA Shovel Knight/Shantae's musician on the show, like come on.
>Just wish the amount of new fan art these days reflected that.
There's a good amount of new fanart but you have to go to Tumblr and its like 80% Venemous/Boxman. I love to see it but I know its not everyone's taste.
Alexander Thompson
>the only one I dislike is Brandon
Filtered.
Thomas Walker
I just can't forgive what he did in "Know Your Mom" even if that was central to the whole plot of the episode.
Austin Morgan
Cope, The Mouse wins every time
Camden Long
Special Delivery is such a good episode. Rad & Enid's dynamic really was one of the coolest parts of the show. And I'm not sure if you were there for the original talkback threads, but I remember Yea Forums always praising We're Captured as one of the funniest episodes, so you're also onto something there.
No idea people still used Tumblr…
Owen Kelly
>No idea people still used Tumblr…
Tumblr is weird right now because while a ton of people moved to twitter, a very large chunk stayed on the website and its cultivated this weird culture of being an underground social media site before the current age of social media, and its much better for artists than Twitter since it has an actual tagging system.

Here's a big favorite artist of mine, so much art just waiting to be found.
Ian Hill
>not posting your art on both Tumblr AND Twitter
Why do artists always do this
Owen Russell
1. Twitter fucking sucks
2. Tumblr is way better for posting art since Twitter crunches your files, has no tagging system (hastags are garbage), and doesn't allow for more than 4 uploads at a time
t. artfag
Jaxon Cooper
Even then, you lose nothing from posting on both platforms. Just tweet your art and dip. Don't even need to try and follow your Tweet's engagement or anything; if it works for the algorithm, then cool. If not, that shouldn't bother the artist since they'd still just be focusing on Tumblr instead. But making your work available on Twitter as well could be potentially helpful and it might even spread your art a little more. I'd post on both platforms if I were pumping out art.
Levi Murphy
>That image
>Reminding me of the episode we were robbed of
Landon Thompson
>It had tons of action sequences
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
nice joke.
Austin Lee
Ian never gave us any additional info on this, did he?
Ryan Ortiz
No he did not. I don't wanna be the one to bother him about that, but it did irk me that he never followed up on what he promised us. HBO Max just seems interested in more Adventure Time, so Ian might as well share some of the Hue Troop ideas they were cooking up.
Parker Bailey
>action show but it's mostly just the girls dealing with SOL bullshit.
So anime in nutshell? No wonder why SU is so successful
Chase Wood
>action show but it's mostly just the girls dealing with SOL bullshit.
That's literally every cartoon hero show that isn't an adaption of a capeshit comic. Danny Phantom, MLAATR and Kim Possible were basically that.
Evan Evans
>You should WANT a spin-off to feel different from its source material. Otherwise, just keep that shit in the original show.
This is what I can respect about We Baby Bears. I have no interest in watching the show myself, but I appreciate that they made it feel as unique from the original series as can be, with magical elements and a completely different art style. With a spin-off, you're not necessarily tied down to one specific canon, so I don't mind the creative liberties they ended up taking with the overall premise. Makes for a more interesting show at least.
Anthony James
YOU FIGHT TILL THE END
Nathan Flores
Mao Mao was too good for this world.
Asher Nguyen
>was
CUT OUT THAT DEFEATIST ATTITUDE RIGHT THIS SECOND. IT AIN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER. MAKE MORE MAO MAO THREADS AND TRY SPREADING THE WORD ELSEWHERE ONLINE. I WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.
Jose Nguyen
Yea Forums doesn't give a shit about anything except underage lesbians. Sites like twitter and tumblr were its only hope to spread and Im gonna be honest, I think Parker shot himself in the foot in that regard. You probably know why.
Zachary Price
I was always afraid of watching Mao Mao on the chance that I enjoy it but then have to face the reality that it's dead.
Asher Collins
Coward. I binged all of Venture Bros. right after it was announced to be cancelled, and look at my reward. If a show is good enough, you shouldn't be that bothered by it possibly getting cut off on a cliffhanger. You'll still get enjoyment out of what IS already there.
Give Mao Mao a try. It's a fun show.
Ryan Jones
I’ve noticed a distinct lack of Carol in this here thread
Kayden Thompson
She deserved so much better
Austin Cook
Well yes
Jackson Brooks
Amphibia feels like it belongs on CN anyway.
Mason Rogers
Fucking hell, i remember when Tumblr was considered terrible for art. It's depressing how standards are constantly lowering for you people.
Dominic Thompson
Bruh you can't name big name artists who operate exclusively on tumble. There's a reason most pro artists moved to twiiter.
Several artists gained massive numbers on twitter just from drawing Spinel during the hype
