Why did PPG 2016 flop? I remember CN hyping it before it's release, what happened?

Bad press and just having to compete with darling TTG. Not sure how many kids it actually appeals to, and the adults are either pissed, upset, or not interested. Kids love seeing action shows and if they had to choose between seeing the girls use constructs and a shonen anime featuring actual punches, they’d probably choose the latter
Didn't they try to shove politics into it? If so, there's your answer.
weren't they making a new season?
literal pedophilia
It wasn't that good
The intro had some beautiful fluid animation
Sadly the rest of the series was animated with GoAnimate, the characters looked as static as pictures
Get woke, go broke. It's the law.
It's really really bad.
They ditched action and comedy in exchange for activism and memes that did not survive for a year.
The animation was atrocious. Putting girls in school and focusing there is also stupid.
Badly written, badly animated, doesn't know if it wants to be a reboot or a continuation, etc. People will complain about politics but that's the least of the problems with this show.
A law that has never been true. PPG didn't fail because it was "woke" it failed because it was bad.
OK that explains why Steven Universe did so well.
Written by people who did not understand or care about the original series. Also that Jared guy.
They tried to pander to tumblr, but pissed tumblr off instead
I think the biggest problem is that it is very clear that many of the staff behind it were not fans of the original whatsoever, and overall have no passion for the reboot. I would actually rather watch a Zombie Simpsons episode over PPG 2016.
Craig and Lauren had nothing to do with it.
The writing/direction is fucking garbage.
Barely feels like PPG at all. Has none of it's soul in the slightest. Made literally just so they could continue cynically selling PPG merch.
>Barely feels like PPG at all
this can be a good thing if you try hard enough
It was extremely bad.
SU isn't really "woke" in the usual sense. Most of the stuff in-universe isn't praised for being brave or special, it just exists as a normal thing. That's probably why it succeded while most "woke" things didn't come to think of it.
On topic, Nu-PPG just wasn't a good show. Looked bad, wasn't fun to watch. Bad combo.
Yep, it's perfectly normal to fuck your family members. It's "an experience". Go have fun kids. Treating this as normal is the most fucked up piece of society-steering propaganda I've ever seen.
They even gave the two dudes that merged a double-guitar.
2016 happened ....
>awful animation quality
>usage of shitty, overused memes
>none of the new villains had any sort of lasting appeal
>one of the writers literally self-inserted to be Blossom's lover
>Ms. Bellum was removed because she was "problematic", despite being a positive role model for girls
>unironically going down the grrrrrrrrl power route
>McCracken wasn't even involved
Every time I'm reminded this abortion existed for even one second, I want to vomit uncontrollably.
Die zoomer
>Treating this as normal is the most fucked up piece of society-steering propaganda I've ever seen.
What I think is the most fuck up thing is the SUF finale pushing Connie's little, "IT'S NOT. ABOUT. YOU!" speech. It's so fucking unhealthy to tell people that they should feel guilty for putting their own emotions before someone else's. The idea that self-preservation is somehow "wrong" or that you're not allowed to be emotionally affected by events because, "THAT PERSON IS SUFFERING MOOOORE" is just more oppression Olympics propaganda.
There's a reason why people who have spouses that are diagnosed with cancer have their own grief groups. You need to be able to take care of yourself in order to take care of others. SUF just pushed this idea that Steven makes all these emotional sacrifices for people and now they need to do it right back for him instead of everyone needs to learn how to take care of themselves first and foremost before they can support you.
But then again, this show propped up co-dependency as a wonderful relationship, so it's really fucked anyway.
it's what happens when corporate suits try to put politics without understanding politics.
Just think about how they pretend to be feminist, then remove miss bellum completely missing the point of her character.
Or how they recasted every single female voice actor while also keeping all the male ones.
Or the girls being saved by males every odd episode
Or the trans episode.
this woke was so broke not even sjws fell for it.
>writes Ms. Bellum off the show for being "too sexy" or whatever
>have a scene of Blossom and Bubbles twerking.
They did with a transgender metaphor episode with this horse that wanted to be a unicorn. Funny how that went down.
>Funny how that went down
you know you royally fucked up when even the most retarded twitter warriors don't fall for it
I like it
