Wow, I never realized just how bad this cartoon was.
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, directed by cinematic mastermind John A. Davis, is a poignant tour de force of the middle class American zeitgeist in the post-9/11 Bush Jr. era. Rivaling the likes of Paul Thomas Anderson, Davis not only tells the story of a precocious genius-savant, but compels the audience to draw their own conclusions about the morally ambiguous plot.
Jimmy is an unreliable narrator. At times, he forwards a scathing commentary against the military state that exists in his home town. Other times, he displays great nationalistic pride, proclaiming his undying love for the state, and the warm security it provides. This dichotomy can confuse a more feeble-minded viewer (yes, probably you), but for those who have studied such narration schemes for years, this film is deeply stimulating.

Of course, the "state" I speak of is in fact an allegorical one, at least within the confines of the film's universe. The adults who vanish in the beginning of the film fill the role of the state quite nicely.
The 30 or so minutes that follow the adults' disappearance provide the viewer with an impartial vantage from which they may witness the decline of an otherwise civil society into primitive savagery. The citizens, without the guidance of the once reprehensible state, rapidly decline into hedonism and base immorality.
Realizing that they have gone astray, the citizens soon lament the loss of the supreme authority and unambiguous rule of the state.
This is all well and good, but for the fact that these messages are directly contradicted in the subarc of the plot that directly follows. The citizens band together to vanquish their woes, seeking out their "parents" (the allegorical state).
This is a textbook portrayal of classical Marxism, which rejects the higher authority of the state, hoping to eventually succeed in becoming a stateless society.
A great portion of the next hour of the film does service to the fans who require action to even consider watching such a cerebral film. I won't go into this portion of the movie too much, to avoid spoilers. However, although I detest excessive "action" in films, the cinematography was masterful, exceeding the work of his contemporaries; Tarantino, Richardson, and Nolan.
In the end, a desirable compromise was formed between the bourgeoisie and the proletarian children.
Don't go off of my rather skeletonized review. You must see the film to know what I'm talking about. It has a certain je ne seis quoi to it.

I remember liking it a lot, but never rewatched it. How bad we talking?
How would YOU make a Sonic show?
I would basically do an updated and better SATAM type show, ditch the old freedom fighters in favor of Amy and the Sonic Adventure crowd as main support cast, and have it be more in tune with how the games looked in general, with only the better aspects of the anime movie mixed in
Just more episodes of the OVA.
Just more episodes of Underground
Just more episodes of Adventures of.

How the FUCK does this show get better ratings than Venture Brothers and Moonbeam City?
How the FUCKING FUCK.
Uh, because it's got appealing visuals, smart writing, and fresh jokes?

>why does a show that aims towards self diagnosed deppressives who spend too much time on the internet get good ratings on the internet?
>>81513007
Because we killed god by our unholly behavior. Now satan has taken his place as crafter of this world.

That's not even a prank. That's just invading someone's space and assaulting them. You can't go around groping women's tits while going "ha ha I totally got you!".

THE MAN IN GAUZE THE MAN IN GAUZE
Is there a recommended reading list for Jubilee?
Probably.
>>81533015
Thanks
>>81532819
I don't think there are any worthy Jubilee solo run.
She works better when within the team up of X-Men.
Try old Generation-X, Jim Lee's X-Men, or her adventure with X-23, Logan and Gambit.
I need good comics to read. Is injustice any good?
Injustice is so stupid it's fun. For an actually good comic try Sandman, Simonsons Thor, Metabarons, Blacksad or Hellboy
>>81533492
do you read these online or physical copies?
Simon was a major member of the Avengers for a few decades then after the 90's they never really wanted to do anything with the guy. He is one of the top bricks on Earth and people actually tend to like him more than Sentry or Blue Marvel. So why is he so underused?
>>81532530
Writer favoritism towards other characters. That's about it.
I think his last major appearance was as one of the villains of that Wild West tie-in to Secret Wars.
>>81532731
He was a good guy in the Battleworld Age of Ultron/Zombie thing too.
But yeah. The series Nicieza and Johnson did was so good way back when.
