Would you have watched it?

Sure, why not? Looks like it could’ve been fun.
I guess Netflix DOESN’T greenlight everything at their door.
Noah Anderson
Why is it a fucking black berry!?!
Christopher Williams
seemed like another pandering show that would've become dated within a year
Bentley Cruz
oh god this skeleton character is awful. looks like an deltarune fan character.
Thomas Wright
>pandering
How so?
Wyatt Hughes
Ehh. The premise is mildly interesting, but it would need other, strong elements to support it. But the character designs are weak and generic (the protags even look like K.O. and a genderbent Craig), the characters don't seem to be anything special, and the plots listed are so fucking cliche and boring.
The biggest tragedy would be losing out on porn of this mac daddy.
Adrian Collins
KO is that you?
Christian Walker
You think that could be a reason why every network rejected the pitch?
Christopher Sanchez
I feel like they would'v gotten tom kenny to voice this character with his heffer voice
Camden Stewart
That plus the show being centered around a cell phone which would "date" the show. Apparently networks were really hung up about the cell phone more than anything.
Ian Lewis
>Najja Porter
Nice. Too bad the premise could’ve been dated pretty quickly.
Owen Torres
should have made it about VR and called it something dumb like cyberghosts and had them hunt ghosts that got stuck inside the internet
Grayson Stewart
i think the replacements was about a phone
Kayden Jones
i think it was the idea of kids running around on their phones 24/7 that turned them off
Gabriel Rogers
Wtf we have cartoons with twerking and fortnite dancing and cell phones are what they’re worried about?
Christopher Cooper
sounds cute
Julian Anderson
That's a really cool idea, though I think Glitch Techs is more or less that.
Gavin Howard
>Jordan even keeps a journal to track the effects of each app produced by Kasey's phone.
On the bright side, we won't have to deal with yet another stampede of idiots calling the show a "Gravity Falls ripoff" just because it uses the decades-old "Monster of the Week" journal trope.
Lincoln Foster
waifus in the brute

i came into the thread to say that
Liam Anderson
>five fingers
Neat!
Robert Evans
>the Amity Blight of the show is literally named "Basic"
Huh.
Lucas Thompson
>genderbent Craig
I know yellow looks real good on dark skin, but it doesn't help that Jordan has a near identical color palette to Craig Williams. Probably wasn't such a good idea to be pitching that design while Craig of the Creek is still on the air.
Just my two cents.
David Jones
Also K.O. The artist wants her concept to be unique and diverse, in her own words, yet she fails at this because the resemblance to other known cartoon characters. Maybe with a slight shift in the style, she could have distanced her show from OKKO, SU, CotC.
Noah Ramirez
didn't horse show have a prominent journal element
Evan Sanders
to be fair, a decent amount of pitch bibles don't have finalised character designs, gravity fall's didn't. at least i can hope that is the justification for
Cooper Hernandez
What did Gravity Falls's pitch bible look like?
Thomas Cook
grunkle looked a lot more like a muppet. even the pilot doesn't really look like what they eventually made into the true first episode.
Jace Long
here's the picture they used to cast him
Cooper Green
I feel like Joe Pitt doesn't get enough recognition for his contributions to the show. He developed and enhanced the look of the characters based off those rough (albeit still appealing) pilot designs, and he even went on to board and direct on later episodes.
Seems like a lot of people forget about him and Ian Worrel simply because they haven't gone on to land their own shows yet (like Matt Braly and Dana Terrace).
Connor Barnes
It still amazes me how Alex Hirsch--a twenty-something literal who--managed to completely redefine Disney TVA's future output, even going as far as to outshine their previous cash cow: Phineas and Ferb. Dan & Swampy's second show couldn't even get off the ground despite using a more serialized format that Gravity Falls had proven was financially successful.
Now we have Amphibia, Big City Greens, the DuckTales reboot, The Owl House, and even Molly McGee, all of which probably wouldn't have gotten the go-ahead or turned out they way they have without GF's surprisingly positive performance. Hirsch somehow managed to convince Disney to bring back 22-minute episodes, too.
Love him or hate him, the dude's had a pretty massive influence in his field.
Josiah Stewart
I pretty much agree with all your points, especially on the r34 we'll be missing out on. I would've loved some Mrs. Ramirez lewds.
Brandon Clark
>App-cidental
what a terrible fucking title
Luis Lopez
Okay, wise guy. Let's see you come up with a better one.
Christopher Harris
Chill, user. The title is serviceable, especially when you see how it ties in to each episode title.
It's possible that Glitch Techs's production made it even harder for Sam and Shakira's pitch to land anywhere. Oh, well. I don't really feel like we missed out on much.

Yeahhh... There was no way this was getting picked up

Mabel should have kept the hair over one eye look. It'd keep that dumb illuminati humor too.
Ian Davis
Having one eye always covered definitely would've been an interesting take, but what we ended up with still works really well. I've always liked that stylistic choice of having her left eye overlap her hair. Dipper and Mabel went through a lot of neat design explorations, but their final looks are just so great that I can't even really complain.
Isaac Robinson
looks cute
is there porn?
James Jenkins
Nah. I Prefer Glitch Techs getting more episodes in its place. And Glitch Techs should have been made purely by Netflix, not sold to them by Nick. Netflix at least treats most of its shows right.
The title for the show in question is dumb and the show just feels like another Gay Space Rocks fiasco waiting to happen, except with even more dated references and SJWBS to further drag it down.
Andrew Cooper
I know DAMN WELL you’re not referring to the two main leads, r-right??
Asher Thomas
>Mayumi Kubota
Wait, she has a first name??
Carson Barnes
I wonder if Basik changed her wardrobe after her friend got "stolen" because she doesn't appear friendly even without the frown
Aaron Wood
Yup. The mom is named after Mayumi Nose, one of the lead character designers who helped refine and whittle down Miko to the fun design we know and love today.
Joseph Garcia
You sure it’s not just the crossed arms and the scowl that make her seem unfriendly? Basik’s wardrobe looks like that of any typical 11-year-old girl, bright colors and all.
Isaac Gomez
I want to see her business dad keep the black guy as a sidepiece for business trips, while the mom takes out her sexual frustrations with the Asian guy.
Grayson Hughes
There’s nothing stopping you from requesting art of these guys in the appropriate draw threads.
Matthew Cox
>Jordan has a near identical color palette to Craig Williams
It’s especially weird that Shakira thought she could get away with this considering she actually worked on a few Craig of the Creek episodes. She should’ve known how high of a risk this would be when trying to sell her pitch.
Brandon Turner
Miko is cute! CUTE!
Joshua Gray
But not as cute as High Five
Brayden Green
Here’s the superior Fives.
Julian Butler
I love Jeff Rosenstock
Aiden Sullivan
Do we know where they pitched it to?
Liam Cox
I kind of like how much more sleezy Grunkle Stan is in the original pitch documents and designs for the show. He almost looks like a villlain here. Though there's no way the Stan we see in the final product is anywhere near 80.
Thomas Bell
The grunkles are definitely in their 60s or so.
