Your Personal Pop Culture Utopia timeline

Given it was shut down during the wave of change that characterized Snyder's tenure, I don't see why it wouldn't.
Might I suggest some shows for Toonami's lineup if it was able to still continue on CN?

-Samurai Jack: Season 5
-Galactic: Kids Next Door
-Adventure Time(After Season 4.)
-Adventure Time: Distant Lands
-Steven Universe
-Steven Universe Future
-OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes
-Teen Titans Go!
-Powerpuff Girls Z
-ThunderCats(2011)

In particular, Teen Titans Go! takes more cues from the New Teen Titans shorts from OTL's DC Nation, rather than going for a Freakazoid!-style approach.
Meanwhile, ThunderCats(2011) gets additional seasons, plus reboots of SilverHawks and TigerSharks as spinoffs.
As for PPGZ? I was thinking of having it finally get an English dub, with said dub replacing the OTL reboot. The new voice cast from said OTL reboot stays, though, so it can't be perfect.
 
Cartoon Network never launches CN Real, averting the dark age of live-action shows that plagued the channel until the rise of Regular Show and Adventure Time.

That would be paradise all right. I hated those live-action shows.

Out of Jimmy's Head is one of the few CN properties I've considered to be god awful, and not uninteresting.
 
Speaking of CN, some of the cast and crew of Jimmy Two-Shoes gets involved with Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss when it becomes a thing.

Seems plausible to me.

I wonder what Adventure Time and its "children" (Steven Universe, OK KO) would've looked like if they were Nicktoons - the pilot was first presented to Nickelodeon after all.

Same dude, same. As a kid I couldn't understand how or why the channel got so bad, it was almost like a natural phenomenon of sorts.

Adventure Time? On Nick? In the late 2000s?

A still-drunk on the Spongebob Kool-Aid Nick likely would have cancelled Adventure Time after two seasons. I mean Nick really found a way to screw over nearly every new show they premiered around this time . . . arbitrary preemptions, random timeslot changes, infrequent premieres, then finally exiled to Nicktoons Network to die in relative obscurity.

If you weren't Spongebob, the Fairly OddParents (before they went off the rails), one of Dan Schnieder's sitcoms (free POD idea: Dan gets #MeToo'd off the network earlier), or in the preschool Nick Jr. block, you were, more often than not, doomed to failure.

So many decent-to-good shows could have been saved if the Nick executives were far less trigger-happy with their cancellations.

Unless if Adventure Time ends up getting popular on Nickelodeon.
IIRC that show was pretty bad. Not as much as Breadwinners, but still.
Sounds…fascinating.

What's really frustrating is the shows that had really good pilots but were never released, like the Modifyers and Constant Payne.

The girl from Constant Payne is ten times cooler than the Totally Spies and Kim Possible, and seems more like a well-rounded human being to boot.

Not to make a political statement, but the fact those shows were dropped while Fanboy and Chum Chum were allowed past the pilot stage should disprove the notion that capitalism will ensure quality products, since corporate executives will destroy good shows for their perceived bottom lines.

Thanks! I went for more American animation, due to the OTL closures of Toonami and Jetix mere months from each other likely causing the mainstream anime bubble to pop. That is, until practically all of Western media decided to send messages so ham-fistedly that even the likes of the GI Joe PSAs at the end of each episode would be more tolerable.

Adventure Time would probably be lucky enough to avoid the Nicktoons Death Treatment for 5-6 seasons, then suffer through 1 or 2 extra seasons under the Death Treatment clause.

Steven Universe might be a counterpart to, and eventual replacement for, The Legend of Korra, given that the two shows go through a lot of similarities, both good and bad.

OK KO would eventually turn into "Nicktoons Unite: The Show", with all the cameos that sneak their way in. And I'm not just talking about its sister shows Adventure Time and Steven Universe, but also crossovers and cameos from Mighty Mouse, The Loud House, Avatar, Kappa Mikey, TMNT, Action League Now!, and plenty of others.

Also, a guy can dream about this, but if Ian James Quartey were to convince Stephen Hillenburg to allow their shows to cross over just this one time, we'd likely see KO, Rad, and Enid as merfolk in Bikini Bottom. I mean, when they work at a supermarket that sells video game items, there have simply got to be a few that sell transformation potions!

Also, as an addendum to the Kids Choice Awards post, the reason why Spongebob is still running to this day, even after the first movie, is due to a massive shakeup in the status quo.

You see, in the season premiere after The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, auditions are held in both Krusty Krab restaurants for new staff members, to some hilarious results.

The kicker? This is actually an hour-long episode, as half of the premiere takes the form of what the "Friend or Foe" special was like IOTL.

By the end of this premiere, Spongebob owns the Krusty Krab 2, gives the ownership of the Krusty Krab 1 back to Mr. Krabs in return, and the new staff members are Plankton as the new fry cook in KK #1, and Sandy Cheeks as the new cashier in KK #2. Plus, Spongebob still cooks up the menu for his own restaurant due to his boundless energy at work.

As a result of this, the Chum Bucket gets turned into an art gallery helmed by Squidward, thus giving pretty much all the main cast members happier lives for the future.
 
I had the idea that Sugar is turned down because the people at CN feel uncomfortable after learning about the fan porn of Ed Edd N Eddy characters. As such, Sugar instead makes it a graphic novel series.

Going off earlier ideas I had with CN Real not existing, Wander OVer Yonder is made instead, followed by Kid Cosmic.

I guess that can sound interesting.

Also interesting too.
 
I have some ideas for the Scooby Doo Franchise.

1. I think that erasing of Scrappy Doo, and his subsequent demonization, was an awful decision by the Scooby Doo creators. I mean, the movie thinks that abandoning a pup by the side of the road is a horribly spiteful thing to do, regardless of how rude the pup is. If I was Scrappy, I'd be pissed off beyond belief at my uncle and his friends LEAVING ME FOR DEAD!

Ok. I've gotten the anger out .

Scrappy actually was one of the things that kept Scooby Doo alive: for a while, his brashness made for an interesting foil to the cowardice of Scooby and Shaggy. The problem is, they never bothered I think there were a lot of ways Scrappy could've made into a more whole character.

My idea goes like this: after the Zombie Island, which I still believe is the best Scooby Doo installment ever, you make a movie that is a Decon-Recon of the Scrappy-Scooby dynamic. The plot could involve any kind of monster: maybe it involves some evil swamp monster or something. But the crux of it is showing how dangerous Scrappy Doo's behavior really is.

Like in Zombie Island, there is a real monster in some forest somewhere. Scrappy, as usual, handles things in his usual hamfisted way. Only this time, Scooby grounds him out of anger for his recklessness and puts him on a tight leash (literally) and a tight schedule. Understandably, Scrappy hates being babied and spied on, and his relationship with Scooby deteriorates, until finally both uncle and nephew fight over how one is reckless while the other is a coward.

Scrappy, in a fit of rage, storms into the swamp to find the monster, only to end up washed downstream and lost, with Scooby and Shaggy calling out for him.

While getting lost, Scrappy initially thinks of it as a cool adventure...only to barely escape being eaten by gators or some other monster. Gradually, he grows hungry and realizes that for his toughness, he is a lost puppy in the middle of nowhere, and breaks down in shame and terror.

Scooby, meanwhile, breaks down in terror and decides he needs to overcome his cowardice to find his nephew.

Scrappy, meanwhile, realizes he needs to think rationally to find his way back and remembers hiking tips to help him out.

Gradually, he find his way...only for the swamp monster to attack and capture him.

Scooby hears his nephew's cries and chases after the monster, even diving underwater and battling it with limited oxygen. Scrappy, once again using his brain, finds a weakness of the monster and helps beat it.

The movie ends with both Scrappy and Scooby learning that you need to balance caution and cowardice.

FIN!

So what do you think?

So what do you think?
Honestly, considering the amount of action and adventure the OTL film already had, this would somehow elevate it to a new level.
