I hope they answer this question.

@Headbanger General: So he stole one of his plot ideas? Great, just great.

He stole pretty much all of his plot ideas. The entire idea for the show itself was stolen from someone else's animated short that Enter thought "had potential". Enter believes he's a creative genius, and therefore feels he has the right to steal other people's ideas and make them "better".

I can hardly think of anything he hasn't just outright taken from someone or something else and watered down and that's just sad how not enough people call him out for it.
 
@Ho Mo for Women: He apparently tried to excuse it by saying stuff like "How many Ren and Stimpy ripoffs were there in the 90s?"

He doesn't understand that people like Donovan Cook and David Feiss were not intentionally trying to rip off Ren and Stimpy.
 
What I would have done is make the kids ACTUALLY act like kids. Have kids voice the children, and model the personality of the character after the actor. That would make the character believable.

I wanna know how much he proofreads these scripts before posting them publicly and who his biggest writing influences are.

I'm Yang, because I'm a weeb.

[3/26/15 10:18:23 PM] Yang: How much do you proof read your scripts before posting them? Also, who's the biggest influence on your writing?
[3/26/15 10:20:23 PM] Johnathan Enter: Honestly, it depends on the script that I'm writing. Sometimes it's Kids Next Door, sometimes it's Gumball, sometimes it's SpongeBob. And sometimes it's from my own fantasies, etc. You need to have more than one go-to influence if you really want to create something unique
 
I was hoping he'd point to some actual authors but they're all cartoons for the most part. Oh shit. It does explain a lot though why so many of his scripts feel like things that have already been done before.
 
How does he imagine the pitch for Growing Around going down?
 
Would he ever consider watching any kind of animation by the likes of Bill Plympton, Ralph Bakshi and Don Hertzfeldt? Same thing with foreign animation like Triplets of Belleville, Persepolis, The Illusionist and Watership Down?

Does he watch anything else other than (Western) cartoons?

[3/26/15 10:30:59 PM] Johnathan Enter: Beyond Canadian animation, not really
[3/26/15 10:31:18 PM] Yang: Have you ever watched Total Drama?
[3/26/15 10:31:31 PM] Johnathan Enter: Yeah. I kind of fell out of it around the third season though
[3/26/15 10:31:44 PM] Yang: World Tour is the best season to be honest.
[3/26/15 10:32:00 PM] Johnathan Enter: Probably. It's definitely better than the second season
 
How's he budgeting for all of this stuff, what's needing to be paid for and who's managing the dosh? What are his projections for how much a full episode, assuming he's picked up, will cost, factoring salaries and general expenses?
