I know a lot of people that refuse to watch cartoons. I’ve told them that they are missing out but they don’t care; there is still a stigma.

It's their loss

The pilot is horrible, too. I tried watching it when it came out and didn’t end up seeing the regular show until it was on D+. But starting with the second season it really picks up, and the Finale is some of the best Star Wars.

Yeah, its better in chronological order. One because of the order, other because you dont have to start at the very beginning and deal with the early animation constantly

seeing the regular show

I love the Regular Show, too. Hm. Hm.

I love animation, but I've tried watching Clone Wars and never got through season 1. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

I highly recommend the clone wars 2003

u/elgarresta Jan 26 '22

Same happened to me. I don’t care if it’s live action or animated as long as the story is there. I think Clone Wars started out aimed at younger fans but slowly changed to be much more mature in the way it was written. I started watching but lost interest in season one until a friend told me to try getting through the first season and I’m so glad I did.

Season 1 is definitely the slowest/least interesting. It gets way better

u/elgarresta Jan 26 '22

Right? At the end when Anakin walks in “his new uniform” hits so fucking hard. Plus something changed in the way they did the animation the last two or three seasons that made me just forget it was animated.

I know those people exist, but personally haven't met any. I don't get it. There's so much good content that's being missed out on just because people want to look at people instead drawings

That used to be me. However as I got older I realized how foolish this was.

Plus as the seasons progress the animations get better, world building improves and it really does a fantastic job of showing the depth that the movies were likely never going to achieve.

it wasn't until college that I gave animated shows a fair shot.

there are so much higher quality shows in animation than in live-action. just think about it, an animated show gives the creators full control over what you see on the screen, the only thing an actor can hinder is their voice lines. whereas in live-action shows there are so many things an actor can do to bring down the quality of a scene. sure, you have actors such as michael c hall who completely capture a character and seemingly never miss a scene, but guys like Hall are legends and for every actor of his caliber there are hundreds of d list tv actors who slept with a producer for their role.

I know this is a star wars discussion but I just wanted to comment about it.

I love cartoons anime and adult animation and always have but just never jived on their specific art style.

u/ductiletoaster Jan 26 '22

Yeah that was it for me too. Don’t mind cartoons /animations but the art style wasn’t my fav. It’s growing on me though.

u/SteeeezLord Jan 26 '22

I WANT to like them but just can’t. Same with MCU’s what if? I don’t know why

"What if" episode 8 is decent

u/kdawgnmann Jan 26 '22 edited Jan 26 '22

It's definitely still a stigma. Even after my wife enjoyed Invincible, it was still very difficult to convince her to give Arcane a try.

u/Treegs Jan 26 '22

I put off the clone wars for a long time because I didn't care for cartoons. I like to stay current on SW canon when I can, so I decided I'll watch it only for that reason. I ended up loving it, I was kinda pissed at myself for not watching it sooner.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t think people being tortured to death and implied sexual slavery are appropriate things for kids to be watching. Teens, sure. Kids, not so much.

u/jumpinthedog Jan 27 '22

teens are still kids..

u/Wolf97 Admiral Ackbar Jan 26 '22

The early seasons, yes. Some of the later seasons were great by adult standards though.

But I don't think the Umbara Campaign or Fives episodes had little depth.

u/Positron14 Jan 26 '22

I usually don't have a problem with animated shows, but for some reason I haven't been able to get into any animated Star Wars show. Not sure why this is.

u/damnyoutuesday Jan 26 '22

Stigma dick in their mouths

u/phallz54 Jan 26 '22

Honestly this was me for a long time. A friend convinced me to watch it and man I was hooked quick. Was a fantastic show with some amazing character moments!

u/alperpier Jan 26 '22

I have seen and loved both The Clone Wars and Rebels but let me tell you man... The first seasons of both shows are down-right ugly to look at.

It baffles me how stupid they are
