Would it be wrong to have a Rugrats character beat up/get beat up by evil robot toys? Or would it be better to use their All Grown Up counterparts?

I can only imagine how different the show would’ve been had they gone that route.

Thought the show likely would’ve been canned after Season 2 due to a significant loss of the target audience at that time.

Yeah. But it would have been the first ever children’s cartoon to have its main character transition and Timmy would have become an LGBTQ icon.

But would that be a good trade off for loosing Seasons 3-5. But season 6 and beyond? Good by and good riddance

As cool as that sounds, do you really want Butch Hartman handling an LGBT character?

Just finished Bowser’s Fury. Plan to 100% it soon.

Is it wrong to say I enjoyed it more than the main game?

I dunno man, Sandbox Mario just does it for me. Even a miniature sandbox Mario.

3D World is great, but Bowser’s Fury man. It’s a great ride.

As an adult it still startles me to hear people say season 3 was bad. Like... I still don’t understand why people think that. Not everything needs to be a part of some grand arc where every little detail could be a potential mindbending plot twist.
Click to expand...
Copy and pasted from TV Tropes but I think all this gets the post across:
Season 3 had some good ideas. However, it was all botched due to rushing some subplots, as well as forgetting others or not giving them proper conclusion, Vlad's Villain Decay making him less impressive as a villain as well as appearing when not needed, constant Ship Tease between Danny and Sam that even shippers felt was unnecessary and unneeded episodes (one example is Livin' Large, where Danny literally changes his opinion on being rich in the middle of the episode and becomes greedy for no reason).
  • Danny finally frees Wulf, but the episode this occurs in only features this in the second half of it, the first half is more of an unrelated summer camp story.
  • Danielle's subplot of being unstable was going to end differently, with the Fentons adopting her, instead she's stabilized by a miracle "Fenton gadget of the day" and goes off on her own again... in only her second appearance.
  • Valerie learns the existence of half ghosts and that her hate for them made her a pawn of Vlad Plasmius, vowing to make him pay... right before the series finale.
  • Also, in the episode Valerie becomes a ghost hunter, Tucker attempts to establish a relationship with her. Although she at first dates him because of his knowledge on ghosts, the end of "Shades of Grey" implies she started to reciprocate those feelings. However, by her next appearance, not only is Tucker over Valerie, he's outright rude to her. This route could've granted Tucker some much needed character development with dueling loyalties, but was removed in favor of Valerie becoming Danny's love interest.
  • Several people felt "Reality Trip" would have gone better if Danny didn't erase his secret identity from his parents' memory. If they still knew then Danny wouldn't have to worry about them hunting him like in "Forever Phantom" and they would have been much more helpful if they were aware, from stabilizing Dani to knowing not to trust Vlad. If anything, erasing their memory, especially when they made it clear they loved their son no matter what, wasn't restoring Status Quo so much as not letting characters develop and keep plots repetitive.
    • Many were also disappointed that we didn't get to see Valerie's reaction to Danny's identity being revealed.
  • Thanks to Steve Marmel not being a part of the show anymore, many story arcs from the first two seasons were dropped. The above mentioned Danielle and Valerie stories were among them. Other examples being the return of Dark Danny and Vlad's deal with the Fright Knight. These could have been explored in season 3, instead of an episode devoted to... the Box Ghost.
  • The "The Ultimate Enemy" set up the possibility that Vlad might see the error of his ways one day and reform, sadly he never did.
  • Vlad attempting to clone Danny really didn't go passed the first episode it's brought up in. If his plan had actually succeeded, we could've had some interesting plots and encounters with a clone of Danny, possibly on the level of "The Ultimate Enemy" in terms of how they could've been done.
  • "Boxed Up Fury", simply for the fact that it exists. A lot of fans tend to agree with whoever posts the Ghost Zone's Wanted Posters, not thinking the Box Ghost deserved an entire episode devoted to him, especially in a season already bogged down by Danny and Sam's Romantic Plot Tumor.
Also concerning Danny himself. Following two seasons that developed his growth as a character, the third season regressed him to doing rather idiotic things, became extremely selfish, and depending far too heavily on Sam.

I just stood up for the first time in about four hours and..................yep I need to go to bed. At least I didn't take as much caffeine which is a good step.

Wademan94 Wademan94 we'll continue our talk tomorrow. Not ready to show my story until a few more paragraphs.

Remember guys, one thing. Actually three.

1. I'm gonna have a massive headache in the morning from lack of sleep and gonna try to not go on here half a day each now.

2. Almost one month until St. Patricks Day. Which means I can finally post what I intended to last year but pandemic dread brought us all down. Yous will all love it. Probably not but it's the hope that counts.

3. Uh I forgot. Oh, tried seaweed made crisps and tasted horrible.

Anyways good night to yous all and have a wonderful day tomorrow or today.

I see... I guess that makes me the only fan who actually likes the idea of Boxed Up Fury. The punching bag actually became a serious threat for a while. It was cool! Eh. I can see the complaints, but I’m willing to just take it for what it is. 13 episodes where Danny fights some of the most creative ghosts they ever came up with and super powered shenanigans. Like I said before, sometimes all a show needs to be is fun.

I think the Box thing could’ve been better received if it happened in Season 2 or if the final season had more episodes. I’m glad you were able to enjoy it, but to me I think it’s a bunch of squandered potential and a pretty lackluster and disappointing season and note to end the show on, especially for what the show set up before.

As a kid I was just relieved to have more episodes. It went so long without airing the third season that I thought the show was gone, and then we get 10 new episodes once a day every day for a week and then a MOVIE! Sign me up! As an adult I can definitely see the missed potential. But if this makes any sense, they always felt more like bonus episodes then an actual third season.

I know being Trans is quite a bit different, but I came out as bisexual (I now identify as pansexual) in 2008. I was 14. Barack Obama was still against same-sex marriage at that point. Plus, I grew up in Rural Kentucky, so my family wasn't very fond of it. Hell, I STILL haven't come out to half those hillbillies.
But I 149% sympathize with LGBTQ+ struggles. Anything I personally experienced makes me extra pissed.
But Birdo from the Super Mario series is trans. She's AMAB.

LMAO I decided to play some Terraria on a new save and almost immediately got a Slime Staff.

If you don't know, the Slime Staff is one of the rarest items in the game.

****ing hilarious.
