Note, he made a new draft of My Pretty Pony

http://mrenter.deviantart.com/art/Growing-Around-Specials-My-Pretty-Pony-V2-512749430

Apparently he's listening to the asskissers as Gumdrop (really) is now the family pet.

Also: Mr Enter says:
A 22 minute episode that establishes a new regular character? Well, that's adequate enough purpose to make this a special. I rewrote my last script, and I guess changed the challenge to: can I write an actual special episode? I mean, a lot of shows can't pull it off. Can we do it? I guess it all hinges on how much you guys like Gumdrops in her new characterization. Also, titles of episodes that reference copyrighted things, or even flat out name copyrighted things won't get you into any kind of trouble. Besides, Hasbro would have to go after Stephen King before they go after us.

Hasbro going after Stephen King...what the fuck kind of crack are ya smoking, Enter?!?

Whatever. This weekend - Gumdrops rapes everything.
 
I'm stuck in bed with the flu so I ended up marathoning a ton of his reviews. If he really thinks his autism is so well-hidden on the internet like he said in that journal posted a while back then damn, I wonder what parts of his personality he thinks are obvious. And I don't mean that in a "lol autism" way, I mean it's painfully obvious that the dude just doesn't understand humour. Case in point, I've never seen someone take fucking Spongebob of all things so goddamn seriously. He projects way too hard onto the characters and then gets upset when they do "bad" things or have "bad" things happen to them, and the fact that he's doing this with generic slapstick cartoons is just insane and completely missing the point. He rarely even critiques the comedy properly. He rarely talks about why a specific joke doesn't work or is overused or poorly set up or anything like that. 9 times out of 10 it's just him taking a joke literally, and then overreacting, crying about how much pain the characters must be in (???) and calling a character (or worse, the writers) a sociopath of all things because a joke went over his fucking head.

I guess that's why I'm not surprised his own "show" is so asinine. Yeah he falls into all the pitfalls he lambastes other shows for having, but it's "different" with his show because he knows what he's going for. It's hypocrisy and the stereotypical not-fully-grasping-other-people's-intentions part of autism rolled into one. Because he wrote it and he knows it's just a joke, it's fine. If another writer writes the same thing and Enter misses the joke, then the writer's an awful sociopath who gets off on torturing fictional characters and disgusting the audience. At least, that's the impression I got.

Also yeah the damn thing's boring as all hell. Even if you look at it as a generic "dumb humour" cartoon, it's still godawful and painfully unoriginal. It's like he cobbled together all the most overused jokes of his favourite cartoons and called it a day. I can't even tell who his target audience is supposed to be. It's too bland and uninspired for older kids and too "meta" for younger ones ("the kids are adults so they read comics instead of newspapers and watch kid movies instead of grown-up movies!" Yeah, like that's not gonna go sailing over a preschooler's head).
 
I think the series has potential. The concept is kinda interesting, but it would be more intriguing if he went more in depth with it and not simply use it as a backdrop to generic stories. One of the episodes not written by him had the adults and kids switching places, and it was compelling. That's kinda the type of story I feel Mr.Enter should write in order to establish the world of Growing Around.
 
I feel like Enter doesn't like to take risks when writing. He wants all cartoons to stick to one formula. I wonder what he would think of more artistic animations aimed towards adults that are shown at festivals.

Probably nothing because he doesn't care about that kind of animation.
He also doesn't care about older, pre-90's cartoons because according to him they're a product of their time. The same cartoons that established the guidelines that most modern animation follows.
His only "fields of work" are CN, Nickelodeon, Adult Swim and the odd web animation or unrelated movie. That's an oddly restricted range for someone who claims to love animation as a medium so much.

He has a horrific grasp of nostalgia for cartoons he watched in his childhood. It's important in something like animation to study the old and new pieces of media to understand the many ways to do actions or present emotions. It opens your mind to the many techniques and allows you to construction something inspired or original.

When I read his scripts, I'm stuck imagining him animating his cartoons to be like those old Hannah Barbara cartoons where everyone just stood around and talked without doing much else. Or hell, GoAnimate.

At least the old Hanna-Barbara cartoons had the excuse of needing to be put out on a weekly basis for television. You know, before we started outsourcing a lot of our television animation to South Korea.

They were limited out of necessity. I'd argue that Japan got more mileage out of limited animation, though. Anime coming out around that time was certainly more exciting.

... Who's going to be the first to make a GoAnimate episode of Growing Around?

It's like Japan said "Fuck it, we can do this 'limited animation' thing better than America." And somehow they did.

Then America outsourced to Japan just to use their talents throughout the 1980s/early-mid 1990s. Small world, don't you think? Either way, Mr. Enter's work does look like it could be animated in such a fashion. Preferably in cheap Flash as opposed to the (better looking, aesthetically) stuff that H-B shoveled out during the 1960s.
 
Reading Mr. Enter's script, I kinda wonder why the "kids" aren't referring to the "adults" as Mom and Dad.

If he was going for a whole "To Kill a Mockingbird" kind of thing, I guess that would make sense, but I think I would be giving him too much credit for that.

I think he was going for the "Kids are the mom and dad" thing. Which is why they're called by their real names by the kids.

Then again, Mr. Enter could have no grasp of writing and I'm just looking a little too deep into this.

You know, I actually got to talk to an animator on his series and he said he's "too easily impressed." Kinda ironic for MrEnter, don't 'ya think?

Probably. It's because Enter acts like his series is a masterpiece and well...it isn't. To achieve maximum potential, he's at least needs to put more effort and time instead of using on countless amounts of stolen jokes, cliche plots and generic characters.
