    The thing about this show that frustrates me the most is how nothing is coming together. The premise, characters, storyline and environment are all very interesting.

    Making James a kid in this show doesn't feel like something done to fulfill a vision, but rather a calculated move by executives. They know James's KZread audience is comprised mostly of kids, so they probably figured aging his avatar down to be their age would appeal more to them.

    I feel bad for James, especially after seeing the video explaining how he got rejected for being a youtuber. Maybe if it was like a smaller show without continuity it would be better. The show has very good moments, seeing that it is funny watching clips out of context.

  • @icecreamhero2375
    @icecreamhero2375 Жыл бұрын

    How to fix this show 1) Have James not be the main character. He feels less like a 3 dimensional character and more like James doing a silly voice. 2) Tone down the randomness and absurdity by 1% and have it be 1% more grounded in reality. They should take notes from American Dad. Those plots get weird but they usually start out normal and the episodes usually have a moral at the end. One of the American Dad writers made this comment. " We once had this joke idea where Roger has sex with an iphone and has an iphone alien baby. We rejected it because it's bad science. We want some level of realism." Oddballs would probably go for that joke.

    2:50 you know, Helluva Boss can also be thrown in there; one season, seven episodes. We learn about the crew dynamic, see Stolas’ troubled home life, meet Blitzo’s ex girlfriend, meet Millie’s family and an overarching antagonist, get some insight into Moxxie and Blitzo’s deeper insecurities, see some of Stolas’ powers, and get introduced to a major figure not only in Blitzo’s past but also a major player in Hell’s social system. Then, three episodes into season two we get Blitzo and Stolas’ first meeting and their fathers, how Blitzo adopted Loona, a potential friendship arc between Loona and Octavia. Yes there is somewhat of an over arching story but the series is primarily episodic as a whole and it does so much in every single episode.

    I feel like stuff like this are always mid or bad. Because the main character is the KZreadr. Just like the Fred movies or that Annoying Orange show. I feel like one of the most basic things you can do is create a show with you as the main character. I feel like James didn't have an idea for a cartoon show, but he was given the opportunity and took it. Which, isn't a bad thing. If I had an opportunity to make my own cartoon show I'd take it! It's just... I was curious about the show but when it was revealed that the main character is basically James but younger, I completely lost interest. I don't like watching a show with the creator of the show as the main character. It's so much harder to detach your show from your KZread channel and get a new audience when the show has your KZread channel's character as the main character.

    Another thing is, this is the first ever show made by a story time animation channel. This means the big mega corporations are watching and wondering if this will work. And determine the standards for other shows made by other story time animators. So if this show is deemed a flop with James, what if Jaiden and Rebecca wanna end up giving it a try? Well, it may make it much harder for them. So this is much bigger than most people know.

    Although I haven’t seen the show, this is what I’m getting on this video. It’s hard to make an show adaption to a KZread channel, but it is possible. Like The Cuphead Show is an adaption to the game, but it still builds different lore that you wouldn’t know just by playing the game. It can be an alternate universe that has different lore while still maintaining the same personality. I hope there will be a season 4(or season2? Idk) to Cuphead, but anyways Cuphead is an example of cartoon adaptation done right.

    I'll have to say this, maybe James is lucky this show is mid, the animation to this design of the characters are great though but I think James is lucky cause Netflix has a record of canceling their most loved and successful shows so many people loved. And I hope Netflix doesn't screw him over like Netflix has done with a lot of creators

    honestly, the fact that it's a kids show doesn't excuse it's bad writing and humour, even the character designs doesn't make sense. their mediocre episodes with an annoying protagonist, a guy just there for gags and another extremely annoying character that doesn't bring anything to the table. I had high expectations for this show since I watched theodd1sout for some years now and enjoyed their content but the show is a let down.

    James is a very talented writer, but he fares better writting to a more adolescent to young adult audience. His humour often comes about pondering about the small things in life, like wrong phone calls or spiders, akin to a Seinfeld episode, something that those two demographics at the very least can understand. Him writting for kids is like having Tony Hawk in your show but he plays a lawyer, or Quentin Tarantino directing Peppa Pig. These are all talented people but you aren't giving them room to show their skills

Partners was a great episode and in my opinion echo kinda became rude in the second season i problably made this comment too long lol

    Season 2 just left me with a ..."That's it?" You watsed my time sort of feeling. My main issue with this series that they don’t properly establish the world. Sure, he mentioned it in the story bible but from the show we just get context clues. A good way to show the setting of the world if James' school is doing a Science fair but UH OH! Looks like the adults are entering too. Which makes it unFAIR! That’s a major disadvantage but the students are determined to get first place. However, all the student struggle on their own but if they put all their minds together maybe just maybbbee they can beat the adults.

    To me, the show is good. It's boring sometimes but I like the gags, I like Max's character and I managed to enjoy the show, however there isn't a middle ground between "Infantile" and actually serious plot. But other than that, it's an enjoyable show I'd love to watch as a 12 year old in a summer morning before school.

    honestly on my opinion oddballs should do something like adventure Time. In adventure Times 2nd season finale, we get a cliffhanger that isn't resolved until season 5. During that time, we see other plot points resolved, like The ice king and Marcelines relationship. It doesn't have to focus on 1 huge plot point, and can try to build up to that point, like James ( who feels more like a supporting character) and max build a smart refrigerator. Also, why does James go to school when He's an ADULT in his own videos?

    I did think of something while watching this video, I think their not so plot driven show is both on how used to making one video and not deep diving it further in future animations and possibly some inexperience writers. (no hate to the writers or what they do with the show, this is a simple idea) But I do think that James and his team are trying something it just isn't doing too well

    So a decision in the 1st episode had consequences that were revealed in the finally. If you want to keep the episodic nature. Resolve it in the season 2 premier and have it introduce a new background problem to be solved in season 2 finally. Rinse and repeat. If you want to shake up the setting, make either the finally or the solutions to have some massive ripple effect
