Why the fuck did the characters act like highschoolers when they

>All grown up
>not even teenagers yet.
Fucking hated that series

Because when they actually get to high school, Chucky's suicide is going to drive them all apart.

They turned Tommy into a little bitch in this show.

Because this was a lazy and cynical trainwreck of a cash grab. They tried to keep the character's around the same age of people who grew up with Rugrats, but at the same time wanted to make their adventures more age appropriate. So instead of having the characters in similar situations, minus the gross shit (because let's face it, kids don't change much from the age in which they're still considered toddlers up until the age when puberty starts), they wrote them as high schoolers instead, which seemed to be the "cool" thing at the time or something.
But who knows really, I just really fucking hate this show since it premiered, so I'm probably biased. Rugrats ended after the movies for me.

This spinoff was so forgettable. I seriously can't remember the plot of a single episode besides the initial pilot.

>>90226736
I remember one where Kimi dyed her hair and made friends with some delinquents or some shit.

I would also say the one where Dill acted like a total autist but that was every time he appeared.

>>90226736
There was an episode where Chuckie was doing his family tree and was having a tough time because he had to go through the history of his mom, and it hurt him a lot because he never really knew her, and then his Asian sister bitched at him for not including her in the family tree since they were related by marriage while ignoring the fact he was holding a knife against his wrist.

There was an episode where the principal tries to figure out what's wrong with Dill and everyone says that's probably because Phil and Lil dropped him on his head which made him permanently retarded.

There was the episode where Tommy and Angelica accidentally kissed and they felt horrible about it but Angelica's mom told her to not worry about it since Tommy was Jewish thanks to his mom so it meant she was spared God's wrath since he was Choson, so they started having regular sex since they couldn't be punished.

>>90226076
the network didn't want people shipping the characters so they aged them down

I remember the tv movie when they go camping and then there's a ghost in the end

Which one did you guys like more? The episode where Phil gets sexually confused after seeing his sister in a bra or the episode where he dresses up as a girl and goes on a date as Lil so that she can spare the guy's feelings? On a related note, why is Phil so fucking sexually confused?

>>90227439
I never noticed just how weird the idea of those episode plots were until now. I mean, Phil did enjoy eating worms as a baby(a very phallic shaped creature), so maybe he does have some unresolved issues.

>>90226736
I remember one quote from the show, and the plot point was that Tommy couldn't swim and said something like "look at me, I'm 10 years old, and I'm still afraid of water." It really confused me because it was so out of his "bravery" characteristic from Rugrats.

>>90226837
>tries to figure out what's wrong with Dill and everyone says that's probably because Phil and Lil dropped him on his head which made him permanently retarded.

They actually addressed this in the pilot.

>>90228224
I think it's awful too and hate how they ruined Tommy by making him essentially a Bizarro world version of himself. I think the developers wanted to make sure they duplicated As Told by Ginger enough to get the same audience. Meaning, to appeal to how teenagers supposedly feel, they had to make him that insecure and cowardly. Him in particular since he's the main character and the one they most want the audience to relate to. That being said, to play Devi's Advocate, what if Tommy was so bothered by his fear of water because he felt it violated his brave, take-charge sort of attitude? Kind of like the episode of KotH when it reveals Hank is afraid of bats, only a lot stupider?

>>90226276
Angelica was always a couple years older than the rest.

>That episode where Chuckie pretends to be an Eastern European cool kid named Chongo to get some pussy

A much better show in Hey Arnold did the same thing. Just a thing kids shows do sometimes.

>>90226076
This show was fucking amazing for the parents alone. There's is some amazing fucking realism with how they act. Best part of the show hands down.

>>90228085
I can see that, though I think the main motivation for that gag/character quirk is how babies put anything, even gross shit, in their mouth immediately and worms fit the bill. Also, I don't get the impression Phil is as much gay (especially since he's so clearly aroused by his sister) as he is obsessed and overly dependent on his sister. Like the episode where she kept doing shit on her own and he felt bad not being able to tag along. This obsession, combined with the confusion he faced of being mistaken for Lil his whole life, made him want to be her in a way. It works perfectly because it is in perfect opposition to Lil's new character trait where she dyes her hair and wears weird clothes and the like to look as little like Phil as possible. As much as that makes sense though I can't shake the belief that I've thought about it more than the actual creators.

>>90226276
Like >>90228815 said. I'm baffled that it wasn't obvious to everyone that she was a bit older considering the obvious signs; like being able to talk to adults, not having to wear diapers or drink out of bottles or anything, not getting locked in the playpen, etc. The fact is also dominant in her personality and is the driving force for almost every single thing she does and says.

>>90226837
>There was an episode where the principal tries to figure out what's wrong with Dill and everyone says that's probably because Phil and Lil dropped him on his head which made him permanently retarded.

This actually happened though.

>>90228860
Hey Arnold's plots were a lot more fantastic and silly. While normally the cartoon is grounded enough to not have impossible occurrences, the rare exceptions being shit like Pigeon Man flying off (that isn't Arnold replacing the memory of the guy committing suicide because that is fucking retarded, though it was a clear reference to suicide and symbolic of it). One of the reason's Hey Arnold is way better than As Told by Ginger is the constant plots and events that, while not being impossible, are unlikely and strange to the point of making the show more entertaining than a realistic show, which sucks since it's essentially a simulation of the very world we live in and, in a way, defeats the point of participating in an activity made for escaping real life for a bit.

Terrible show, but I thought grown up Kimi was hot, anyone else agree?

>>90228909

From what I vaguely remember: I think Phil always thought to himself that him and Lil were the same/supposed to be the same. Seeing Lil in her bra made him realize that they were different; not just a little, but a lot. Phil couldn't relate to (or be like) Lil because she's a girl whose body is different/changing in a way that his doesn't/can't. Phil couldn't really handle the realization that they weren't the same or going through the same things. Phil felt like him and Lil were in different worlds now and he didn't want to be left out, but he was.

When I try to remember the relationship they had in Rugrats, all I can think is that they loved each other maybe too much. I think Phil was probably in love with his sister.

>>90229543
She was a better character here than in Rugrats.

Because no one knows how to write good shows based on real kids. The issues most adults remember are from their teen years or later, so that is what they write based on. What conflicts do most kids face at 9 or 10?

>>90229266
>>90226837
The family tree thing happened too, but i think it was the reverse: Chuckie getting pissed at his step-sister for not wanting to include his dad's family in her family tree project.

In the end she adds a second tree representing him though.

When I was a kid, I remember liking the All Growed Up special for the first series, then being disappointed that it was just one episode. Then years later when they ended up making the All Growed Up series, I didn't care any more.

>>90232715
Yeah but wasn't the special itself just a glorified pitch for a full series? It seemed that way to me

The real question is why did they LOOK like highschoolers when they were only like 10 years old?

>>90232581
My sister had that same fucking haircut because every tomboy in the South had that same fucking haircut and I hated my sister and, by extension, hated DW, to the point where when Arthur punched his her I was cheering and then my sister whined to my mom that I wanted to punch her so I was grounded for having a bad thought.

To this day I resent them both.

>>90228728
In early childhood education most books say that babies and toddlers that are extremely outgoing can be the complete opposite as teens.

>>90232811
>age 10
>already a small B-cup
>Asian
>twig-armed father and brother
>extreme desire to belong
Kimi would later grow up to give everyone she met yellow fever, right?

>>90227081
>They had to freeze Reptar to stop him but by then, his tail had already started to grow into humanoid Reptar.

All Grown Up was the only time Angelica was likeable.

>>90233135
Except it was obvious she was starting her rounds on the cock carousel and was going to end up as another typical burned-out piece of white trash that dropped out of her freshman year at college from partying too hard.

>>90227123

I think what Hey Arnold benefited from the most where a lot of other shows failed was having a very specific realistic setting
it just gave it that extra little bit

>>90226076
Probably because it was a slice of life show, and you really couldn't make a good SoL with 10 year olds acting like 10 year olds in a realistic setting, so of course they made them into 10 year olds acting like 16 year olds in a realistic setting. They really should have just made them into teenagers really, it would make most of the plots actually believable instead of "Why are they doing this? They're like 10 years old."

I still think the series was good though

>>90233489
To be fair as babies they were about as cognizant as toddlers. I think the original came across as more charming to an audience, plus the adults couldn't understand them anyway.

It started off as a one-off TV special about the Rugrats going into the future and becoming pre teens. The ratings were extremely high for the premiere got so popular that it became a spinoff series years later.

Tommy really peaked as a baby.

And Dill? That boy ain't right.

>>90238983

Hey Arnold they were 4th graders, which is like 9-10 years old IIRC. Look at how mature everyone acted
