Is there any shows that gives you a good impression of the comic, yet lead you to dissapointment?
I've been watching Dilbert, and thus started reading it, and honestly, the show is just plain superior to it's source material
>>81604137
>the show is just plain superior to it's source material
Spawn: The Animated Series is probably the best example
I kind of feel the same with The Maxx, but only with the second half of the book
>>81604747
Spawn had a cartoon? I just saw the shitty (but then good) movie
>>81604995
It aired on HBO for three seasons I think
>>81604995
Two seasons on HBO
>>81605057
I'm just gonna guess it was shit and didn't at all fit Spawn?
>>81604137
I find I cannot compare the two since the stories pressented in a 30 minute animated cartoon are often very different in nature to a fourish panel daily comic strip.
I will admit the tone, themes and characters are similar, but they just cannot present stories similarily enough for me to consider them comparable.
>>81604137
>Is there any shows that gives you a good impression of the comic, yet lead you to dissapointment?
All of them. Comics are mostly shit.
>>81604137
Holy shit, I haven't read DIlbert in forever. His art has changed.
Dilbert the cartoon is legit. Starts pretty slow, but actually evolves into being a good show with a coherent storyline, followed by great voice actors and animators.
The comic is a big hit and miss, especially for our current generation who never heard the world "cubicle" and think it's a hip coffee to protest black slavery
>>81605203
You better be fucking me. This cannot be Adam's art. I refuse to believe it!
Dilbert the comic is great
>>81605113
It fit with Spawn, it just wasn't all that impressive.
>>81605278
I've always enjoyed the dilbert stripes since i was a kid, as well as the cartoon. I've even read one of his funny books on management
And i don't even work in a corporation!
>>81605257
>On February 29, 2016, Adams posted on his blog[24] that he would be taking a six week vacation. During that time, strips would be written by him but drawn by guest artists who work for Universal Uclick.[25]
Vacation artists names are in between panels
>>81605409
Thanks, you curbed my pretend outrage at trivial and pointless stuff.
>>81605338
>it just wasn't all that impressive.
What do you mean?
According to Scott Adams he and Donald Trump are wizards who had the same master
>>81605498
Any time
>>81605695
I chuckled at the joke, but i still get mad at the artstyle. What is wrong with me?
>>81605195
Why are you such a cynic? What made you hate your hobby?
>>81605758
You're just afraid of change and tuck in a rut. You should gamble your marriage by sleeping with a whore. That'll solve everything.

>real life glasses become more horizontally narrow over the decades
>so glasses in dilbert do the reverse
okay
>>81605858
Please. I'm an expert on social paradigms, and how they lead to social reengineered visions of multimedia risk-taking open-door marketing.
>>81605695
Oh god Alice looks fucked up
Is the animated show any good? not looking for fanboy answers, but in general?
>>81604137
There has yet to be a TMNT cartoon much like the comics.
>>81606191
I imagine a show like that would garner a lot of "OMG JUST EDGY COLORLESS EDGE! I HATE MODERN INDUSTRY" comment.
Besides, they would have been unknown today if they kept at it.

Let me give you one quote. if it doesn't win you over, this show isn't for you
>What makes you qualified to be a reporter?
>I'm willing to violate anyone's privacy for my personal gain and then claim with a straight face that the public has a right to know.
>>81606289
I'm sold. When can i start!?
>>81606328
it's actually all on youtube. or it was last time i checked.
otherwise.. uh... toonova, watchcartoononline, kisscartoon.. any of these have dilbert?
>>81606289
I prefer,
>Have everyone named Jerrold killed immediately.
>Is that Gerald with a G or Jerrold with a J?
>Can you just kill them all, phonetically?
>Right away, sir.
Just something about how he competently answers a ridiculous question about an even more ridiculous scenario.
>>81606413
then of course there's Chronic Cubicle Syndrome
>You can't publish a book about an unproven medical condition.
>Apparently you haven't been to the book store lately.

>Oh, I have something much better than proof. Anecdotal evidence!
>Who do you think would be dumb enough to believe anecdotal evidence?
>I've narrowed my target market to... PEOPLE!
>>81606456
The show's worst fault is how it straddles genius and retarded. Most of the plots were terrible, but it was still funny.
I mean, the entire premise of the Seinfeld super computer episode was dumb, but jokes like badminton and Holden Callfielder were gold.
Everytime I love it, it hits me an equally retarded punch, like the end of the Elbonia episode.
>>81606581
appropriately enough it was kind of a seinfeld of a show. it's harder to enjoy now because the same points have been made many times in the intervening years. but AT THE TIME they really needed to be said.. they had gone largely unsaid. kinda like daria
>>81606381
I used to watch it on Hulu, back before they started their premium "Hulu Plus" service. They had the whole series up for free, albeit ad-supported. Perhaps they still have it?
>>81606693
worth a look
>>81604137
>Is there any shows that gives you a good impression of the comic, yet lead you to dissapointment?
The show was a lot more in line with the humor seen in the earlier comics before it switched over to being purely workplace material.
I don't know the last time we saw Ratbert, Bob, or the garbageman or even Dogbert for that matter.
>>81607394
yeah. dilbert used to have really cute cozy homey moments. can you even imagine dogbert sitting on dilbert's legs anymore?
>>81606613
and even now decades later, its still rock solid on how society works.
>>81607451
He also use to be more of a home brew engineer. Ring Computer Vegetable Communicator.
Course that was a reflection of the creators time at Bell Labs during those bits.
>>81606282
>"OMG JUST EDGY COLORLESS EDGE! I HATE MODERN INDUSTRY"
Oh fuck I can just imagine that happening.
>WHY ARE THE NINJA TURTLES SO EDGY WITH THEIR ALL RED BANDANNAS!? THEY'RE RAPING MY CHILDHOOD!
>>81607532
People don't really change. They just make new stupid choices as the technology becomes available to make them possible.
>>81607682
They wouldn't be entirely wrong.
>>81606282
>OMG JUST EDGY COLORLESS EDGE!
Did you watch that turtles movie were they have a crisis and they met the comic book turtles?
>>81607747
Yep.
As Mark Twain is often attributed to saying “History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes"
>>81607975
Ha, I get it, because black people still have to ride in the back of the train.

Personally I found it to be really boring. For one, it was very dark. I don't mean tonally, although it was, but visually. Everything was hidden in shadows, which I'd wager was to save costs on animation.
It just didn't have the visceral nature and captivating art of the comics.
It wasn't terrible, so if you find yourself with the opportunity, give it a view. You could find worse ways to spend your time. Just if you're a huge fan of the comics, don't expect to feel the same about the show.
Adams worked for Bell Industries for 9 years, from when it "computers and electronics", but he himself was only a senior engineer. I'd say that quiters are the first stage of cancer, but Adams knew it early and went syndicate with his anti capitalism print.
Sad too, to be honest. He'd be a perfect spokesman against the unfair pay and other "goods" the management get. At least there's a president candidate who understands this.
>>81608208
>shadows
i don't recall a single instance of shading.. is your tv okay?
>>81608208
You give a suprisingly good account on the show.
As i said, i grew up with the original Spawn movies, so i can't judge whenever or not they fullfilled the comics. But when i watched Spawn as a 6 something year old kid, it made me think about issues kids usually don't think about.
In fact, i found out that it was a comic much later
>>81606148
>>81606289
>>81606413
>>81606456
how does this show stay so relevant after 15 years
>>81608641
>>81608670
The horrifying part is how accurate that is.
Most peer review today is, at best, basically making sure the numbers add up.
At worst, it's a clique of like minded people reviewing each other's work.
There're sections that, when truly independently peer reviewed, have less than a 40% success rate.
>>81608670
also this show probably had tres mcneile and tom kenny do the most background voices
theres one ep where tres macneele is voicing a phone recording and she says "if you would like to have sex with me, press 69"
>>81608641
>>81608670
I can't shut up, but i can't argue either.
Adams was lucky to be born when he was. We can't even hint at anything which maybe might resemble political nature, which possibly means we invited (in their eyes) their opinions and thus derail discussion. Hell, just say anything that isn't white and you know exactly what kind of threads you get. And the good sensible ones get drowned out.
>>81608208
All I remember about the HBO Spawn show is that he spent like an entire season squatting in an alleyway
>>81608832
> he spent like an entire season squatting in an alleyway
Which is entirely true. He only got out when a bum made him
>>81608670
i love how the show never got issuey and tried to make dilbert look superior. he's still wrong in his own way
>>81608641
>>81608670
The internet never changes.
>mfw this cartoon broadcasted here on Fox Kids
And I don't think they cut the adult jokes either
>>81605397
>read the comics
>this stuff is so ridiculous it could never happen
>actually work at a large-ish company

Tell me which came first, OP. Ranch, or Cool Ranch?

I'll go with "none of them"!

RAGE
I love Dilbert to death, but man Scott Adams' blog is a goldmine mixture of brilliance and idiocy. Not just because he is a Trump supporter, but because he has clearly forgotten how real people think and interact, and it's hilarious.
>>81611265
>caring how real people think and interact in the first place
last i checked he had a big article about why trump was nuts and why he's a fantastic manipulator getting poeple on his side despite being nuts
>>81604137
The Garfield and Friends show, definitely. The comic strip could never compare.
>>81611265
He's not a Trump supporter, he's someone who enjoys the spectacle of Trump. There is a difference.
>>81611373
Well, color me out of date. I don't regularly follow his blog, only catch up sporadically.
>>81611413
i dont either. i only saw it when someone else was reposting an article where he btfo feminists.. or maybe it was the one where he explained why suicide bombers do what they do, out of desperation created not by the west, but by the rich elite arabs that fuck with them.
>>81611265
He has a rare brain disease that makes it so he can only speak in rhyme. He can only communicate normally on the internet. His point of view is permanently skewed.
>>81607394
Is Catbert still used a lot? He was usually in office storylines.
>>81613401
Sometimes.
Everyone who hasn't yet, should read Scot Adam's management books, They're hilarious.
>>81611412
It'll be a fun eight years.
>>81604137

>but because he has clearly forgotten how real people think and interact
I would've said this maybe five or more years ago. But after following his blog for a while and reading up on other stuff (and watching how people reacted to not just him but to other things) I think he's actually on to something. There's still the possibility he's going unhinged, I wouldn't rule that out. But I usually find most people complaining about him never actually read the blog long enough to understand why he says what he says (or worse, read it second hand from someone who didn't understand it either) and overreact.
The whole point about his Trump stuff is not about Trump but about persuasion. Every post is actually building on stuff he set up from the last. So if you went and read the thing about, say, Hitler and Trump, without prior context, you might react angrily toward Adams and make tweets about how he's a colossal dickhead or you're closing the window when you see him mentioned or some shit. Hey, I can understand. I remembered five years ago he actually complimented Trump on something, which made me go "What in the fuck?" But I set my own beliefs aside and willingly read through Adams' blog over the years. Then I understood why he did that post five years ago. Still not sold about Trump being a viable candidate, but I ended up not being surprised about him somehow remaining in the lead.
>>81616798
Stuff like that used to be really common in the older strip though I think that. instead of the Mars Observer gag, the end of the sequence would probably have been along the lines of panel showing another universe's Dogbert and Dilbert wrapping up the same conversation with a different answer.
>>81617226
>Still not sold about Trump being a viable candidate, but I ended up not being surprised about him somehow remaining in the lead.
The Republican Primary starting out with so many people had a lot to do with his success so far. While that will likely change soon, Trump still hasn't broken fifty percent of the vote in any state yet and his share of the vote is pretty much what it was even before people like Rubio dropped out.

He also tried arguing against feminists in a forum and got caught making a sock puppet account backing himself up, which has skewed my veiwpoint of him a bit.
>>81619035
>Fighting the femiwars before it was cool
That actually made me respect him
>>81619101
>before it was cool
What? IIRC this was significantly after 2004.
It's also blatantly morally reprehensible but I doubt that matters to you because >muh greator good
