None of the matchups are required. Next round we'll probably hold a 3rd place matchup as well (so the two losers vs. each other).

Wrong. I'm from Long Island

>Spongebob vs Samurai Jack
Honestly for as good and genre-defining as Spongebob was I don't think it deserves to win because of the later seasons and the more lackluster episodes of the original.
I'm still voting for it since it's obvious Jack will win by a landslide.

Samurai Jack lacks continuity in the earlier seasons, otherwise I'd probably agree with you. ATLA's greater childishness is heavily outweighed by this one major fact.

>>
I think we should judge over what /co/ actually does best

Best Waifu tournament
>>
>>91928408
While TLA was wonderful and definitely deserving of the top spot, I found it quite underwhelming and childish at points. After a while it became The Zuko Show (guest-starring a Gaang of less interesting characters).
Batman TAS had also it's bad episodes but it was more consistent, the cast was bigger, and I'd argue it had a bigger and more positive influence on the animation medium.
>>
>>91928760
Might as well make it Teen Titans only, other shows shouldn't even bother to compete.
>>
>>91928760
If we were to do a character tournament, should it be a separate waifu/husbando tournament or just best character?
>>
>>91928679
The earlier seasons were supposed to be episodic. That's how the series was originally pitched. Now that its ending we're finally getting the story driven show that everyone has wanted for 13+ years. Besides most cartoons should at least be a little episodic. This way a network doesn't have to marathon the show in order to replay it.
>>
>>91928799
>Batman TAS had also it's bad episodes but it was more consistent
But this isn't true. Batman TAS's biggest problem is that it wasn't consistent. Everyone remembers it for it's best episodes, but the fact is most episodes were pretty dull and unmemorable.

The show had phenomonal direction and design, and within the context of Batman and Super hero shows can't get enough praised, but just as a stand alone show, rewatching it it's not as entertaining as it's remembered.
>>
>>91928919
Avatar was very episodic in that individual episodes were extremely memorable, that's why you still have people discussing which one is better to this very day. You don't get that with most cartoons.

Samurai Jack has this too, of course, but Avatar combines it with strong continuity, unlike SJ.

Samurai Jack is only winning because of recent season 5 if not for it spongebob would win this very easly.
>>
>>91929362
Zuko was apparently originally supposed to side with his uncle, that would explain why his turn back seems so sudden and OOC.
Contrived coincidences like Zuko and Katara being kept in a separate, "romantic" area while Sokka and Toph were kept in a normal jail, or Azula not taking Katara's special water away.
Quasi-plotholes and other BS writing like Aang apparently being able to just unlock his chakra on the spot despite what the Guru had said, and there being such a long transformation sequence that allowed Azula to shoot him.
>>

Book 3's crappy writing was mostly because of shipping shenanigans, some of the crew (not just Bryke) wanted Kataang, others (not just Ehasz) wanted Zutara, it all turned into a shitshow of contrived coincidences and other forced moments. Same in the Book 2 finale, both sides did it, neither is blameless at all.

So no, people don't take it seriously
>>
>>91929658
Nah, shipping doesn't really take up that much time. Zutara obviously would've been a continuation of the writing in s2 but it's not like shipping was a major element of the show at any point. S3 just fucked up Zuko's characterization by giving him an unnecessary arc.

Other problems were giving Aang the avatar state back, wasting time on filler when it should be increasing in tension, making Zuko a boring fuck once he became good, adding stupid abilities like combustion man (which gave room for korra to do even more nonsensical stuff) never giving Ozai any real development and not having room for Zuko's mom mystery.

The first season holds it back. Otherwise it's a better show.

Once it gets rolling it's far better than most shows on the list, but the first several episodes are generic Saturday Morning shit
>>
>>91929831
You don't understand what I'm saying, many if not all of those problems stemmed from railroading the plot for ultimate shipping purposes. The effect was indirect, not direct.

And Aang had to get the AS back, it would have been almost as dumb as the LOK Book 2 finale if he didn't at some point. How he got it back was just written very poorly.

Bryke are stupid but they're not dumb enough to base the plot off of shipping, especially when it didn't take up that much screen time at the end of the day. None of those issues stem from shipping.

And Aang absolutely should not have gotten the avatar state back, it invalidates the weight of s2 ending, and it's just a plot whole.

Jack deserves to win out of the options we have right now, not because it's the best but because of what it represents.

It's made between 98 and 07, aka when the overwhelming majority of /co/'s favorites were made, isn't a franchise adaption a la TAS, and isn't riffing on another genre's artstyle a la TLA. It's /co/'s cartoon, and that's why it deserves the win.
>>
>>91930128

You have no idea what you're talking about on both counts, I'm afraid. Shipping was indeed what primarily ruined Book 3, and Aang was always planned to get the Avatar State back somehow (even Ehasz agreed with this). LOK Book 2 almost literally destroyed the entire franchise by getting rid of the AS, and you wanted the same to have happened much earlier!?

(Then again, why am I arguing with someone who doesn't know how to spell "plothole"?)

None of those are arguments. Nice post.

>>91930207
Anime isn't a genre, but it isn't quite a medium, and it isn't quite an artstyle. It's perhaps best grouped as a series of interconnected artistic movements but that sounds pretentious as fuck.

Regardless, I feel like Avatar isn't representative of animation as a whole. Because of the artstyle, yes, but also because of the whole narrative style. Samurai Jack has some degree of continuity, especially in S5, but also plays with slapstick, homages, vignettes, and all sorts of other shit that I think better depicts the best parts of western animation.
>>

>>91930381
Unfortunately I don't have a direct hotline to the crew of the show to argue with you any further, so those points will have to do. Deal with it.

>>91930431
I was team Jack but after thinking about it I might be team Spongebob, sure later seasons range from meh to shit but at it's best the comedy is so good it's never going to get old, while SJ's tone and setting isn't completively unique nor the peak of it's genre. Also Season 5 is really dissapointing.
>>
>>91930411
No. Anime just means japanese animation. That's it. We used to call it Japanimation, but that sounded retarded so we switched to the Japanese word for animation. It's the equivalent of saying "italian opera" "french movies" "american drama"

And I wasn't the other anon

>>
>>91930529
I'm not denying that, but when your story relies on it's storytelling rather than the comedy you better leave in a good note or the overall score is going down significally.

If Spongebob ends tomorrow in a shitty episode the old it's still gold, while if SJ ends in a shitty way it might ruin the entirety of the series.

This is true, but it really looks like we're building up to an awesome finale, even if most of the season isn't all that great. It's almost too bad we haven't seen all the episodes yet... almost, because it probably raises Jack's chances.

>isn't riffing on another genre's artstyle a la TLA
Well actually it kind of is. Jack is just as referential.
Not just to anime but also film (in particular the works of Akira Kurosawa), a lot of episodes are pastiches of other works.
And the show's art style pays nod to artists such as Frank Miller, Henri Rousseau and Eyvind Earle.

Jack is unarguably much less of a ripoff than ATLA.

Ripoff of what?
>>
>>91930813
That's blatantly untrue when it literally steals shots and makes references constantly, and nearly every episode plot is based on a storytelling cliche, and folk story, or something

SJ's setting isn't even used half of the time, it's like the creators pull a switch whenever they want the show to be set in the future or in the past. That's why Jack is in a forest one episode and in a city the next one, the setting usually doesn't go farther and at times it feels like a cheap excuse to just have Jack slice something with the sword.

Also the lore, animation, character development and voice acting is better in ATLA.
>>
>>91930730
sorry but you've lost to a better player
>>
>>91931487
That's the point. The setting of the show is supposed to be a dystopian future with remenants of older civilizations. Avatar was also quite diverse in it's locations.

Avatar has the better story and characters but the sound design, action sequences and filler episodes were better.

Avatar had much more advanced sound design. I remember there was a feature on the DVDs that talked about how they literally had to make up sounds from scratch because the stuff they wanted to put into the show simply didn't exist.
>action sequences
This is a joke, right? Avatar has literal martial arts moves, Samurai Jack is practically a slap fight in comparison.
>filler episodes
This is quite true, sadly, and ATLA really suffers for it. SJ wasn't always great with this either, though, particularly in season 2.
>>
>>91931637
I'll do one better and name you an incredibly memorable episode that has NOTHING to do with Aku at all: The Scotsman Saves Jack, part 2.
What do you think of that, Mr. Shitposting Idiot?
>>
Avatar and it's fanbase are shit and I'm glad it's losing
>>
>>91931626
Is it? Take Jack and the Warrior Woman, it's just your average middle eastern market we've seen a million times, but since instead of human it's robots and aliens it's supposed to be set in the future, and the rest of it it's just a generic desert.

Don't get me wrong, the art is amazing, but Samurai Jack at times feels like Time Squad in the sense that it's just jumping all over the place. In ATLA the world feels like a place, an actual country and the fact that each of the benders' continents have their very distinct cutures and techologies just helps make everything feel real and original. Samurai Jack in episodes like Jack and the Scotsman just take place in a bridge, why is it there? where does it lead? why is there a need for a bridge? We know that below there's a jungle.

Also even if I would agree that sometimes SJ had great action scenes they don't come close to ATLA, call it pretend-anime all you want but the animation helps a lot to make them feel better than almost every other action cartoon out there, let alone that every element had it's own fighting style and effects, all which were carefully crafted and animated.

But it has not ended yet, for all we know it could end in some "Jack doesn't go to the past to save Ashi" shit or something.
>>
>>91932003
It has nothing to do with quality, the fact is SJ is more popular than usual because of S5 currently airing, which is a practically unprecedented event in western tv animation. It would not ordinarily be able to beat spongebob or avatar (although it still would've made it to this point given the bracket it had)
>>
>>91932061
>It would not ordinarily be able to beat spongebob
I don't agree with this.
>>
>>91932083
Samurai Jack is popular here but not that popular, only slightly above the level of courage and eene. And if it didn't get a season 5 it would literally be an unfinished show. Spongebob, although there's certainly controversy over it due to being shit for so long now, is easily the most watched cartoon, everyone watched it as a kid, and the peak years are invariably acclaimed. I doubt it beats Spongebob if no season 5

I'm tempted to say "deal with it" because you're so fucking stupid, but okay, spoonfeeding: it's a terrible conclusion because it negates the whole point of the original show, which by the way was narrated to us EVERY SINGLE FUCKING EPISODE, something that's drilled into your head like that should NOT just be ignored for a "nice conclusion". And EVEN IF that was the route chosen for some retarded reason, there's so much bullshit along the way - in particular, why is Ashi, the sister who seems slightly different to begin with, CONVENIENTLY the one who is specifically spared by Jack? And that's just one example.
>>
>>91933935
The question is, which is likelier to beat Jack?

"Neither" is not a valid answer, by the way.
>>
>>91933870
Considering all the hype? Yes, probably.

Prior to the announcement? Still maybe. Jack has always been extremely popular on /co/. But it's one of those things that was so broadly well liked, it seldom had threads survive for very long, because discussions don't really survive when everyone agrees. OtGW had the same problem at first.

>>91933935
Batman: TAS is probably one of the most well received cartoons of the last 25 years, though Avatar is certainly up there as well. It's not surprising at all.

>>91933938
The point of the show is the samurai's journey, not just his motive for it. The show is the thing you enjoy. The adventures are the things you enjoy. Changing the past would undo them all.

>why is Ashi, the sister who seems slightly different to begin with, CONVENIENTLY the one who is specifically spared by Jack?
You're asking why the one who's different -- the weak one, the one who hesitates and gets distracted and gazes at the stars, the runt with something to prove -- you're asking why she's stuck at the back of the line hissing like a cat, while her sisters get cut down in front? It's a real mystery.

And she wasn't spared at first. He dropped her like a sack of potatoes. But then he cleared his head, and had the luxury of feeling a little guilty about killing these dumb kids.

This is sadly true.
In a few years from now we are probably not going to be regularly discussing Jack again unless Genndy fucks up the finale spectacularly.
And even if we do then those discussions are going to be dominated by people complaining about how Ashi ruined the show forever and ever.

Well it was good while it lasted.
I wished one of the top 2 shows was at least something that didn't base itself on anime.
But I'm satisfied with the results (frankly I'm surprised it took 8 hours for Avatar to catch up).
Batman TAS, Spongebob, Avatar and Samurai Jack seems like a reasonable top 4.
>>
>Avatar and BTAS are this close

DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE, FUCK
>>
>>91928135
i'd disagree about it being flavor of the month, if just by being well, a pretty decently well regarded show long before the new season. But yeah, I'd safely call the new season "flavor of the month" because of recent-ness, but also because of how different its been compared to the totality previous samurai jack stuff. Its good, but it still has this "newness" to it.

Avatar and Batman are pretty neck and neck, but I do think it may become a battle between "Flavor of the Month" vs "Nostalgia" regardless of the winner.

that said, samurai jack is basically,
Flavor of the Month AND Nostalgia
>>
>>91938234
>something that didn't base itself on anime.
Samurai Jack isn't particularly based on anime. It has the odd reference, but nothing fundamental to the show. It's largely based in japanese cinema, samurai films, along with other, western influences, but not really anime.

For that matter, Batman The Animated Series does owe some of it's quality to anime. A lot of the animation, even a majority I believe, was done by seasoned japanese studios that mostly worked in anime, and the creators cited anime as an influence on the show several times, in audio commentaries and such. Akira and the like. These influences were more visable in Beyond, but they did have a hand in shaping TAS to be the way it was. More so than Samurai Jack.

I guess I should have specified that I meant "based on eastern culture". Not that I have a bias agaisnt it (quite the contrary), I just don't want to hear people joke about how "the best western cartoons have to rip-off anime to be good".

>it has the odd reference
It goes quite a bit beyond the "odd reference", Jack has pretty extensive anime references. Granted, it's mostly old-school anime like Lupin but it's still there.
Samurai Jack takes a little bit from everything so it's not really specific to that. But japanese animation definitely played a bigger part than you are saying it did.

>creators cited anime as an influence on the show several times
Interesting because I looked a lot into the influences of Batman TAS (I even dumped the Writer's Bible here a while ago) and I must have missed this because I didn't catch anime influences outside of Beyond.
>>
>>91938462
I watched the entire series with the audio commentary when I bought the box sets a few years ago, and I distinctly recall them talking about it, mostly in terms of things like pacing, use of dialog, lighting, shading, stuff like that. I'd have to go back and listen through the entire series to be more specific.

>>91938462
>>91938505
I'm thinking back, there might have been something in His Silicone Soul, if that's even the episode I'm thinking of. I might be wrong, they might have just been talking about the animation studio. But that's the first episode that comes to mind thinking back about it.

If that's true, then that's an odd coincidence because the robots in Castle in the Sky were inspired by robots in an early episode of the Fleischer Superman series.

Zuko betrayed his uncle, only to come crawling back and apologizing. Ending up allying with the gAang in the first place, making it seem rhetorical and pointless that he went from happy to "fuck this, I want my life back" in 10 seconds flat when he started obsessively throwing his whole firebending arsenal at Aang.

Maybe if it was written better, maybe if you had learned more from his perspective that "I wanna go home and the avatar is my ticket back home" then he would be more sympathetic. Rather than everyone focusing on the fact that he sided with Azula because he's an anti-social loser and a villain who wants daddy's c.. approval.

But it helps his character. He actually goes back home, settles in, everyone loves him and things are looking good for him. He so far as tries to keep it that way by hiring an assassin to dispose of Aang.

Only for him to slowly come to the conclusion "Ahh finally home. Finally back. ah wait now I realized that I hate home, it's fucking shit and I hate my sociopath father and sister. Fuck my gf and I want my mommy now. Fuck this I'm helping Aang, Katara and Iroh were right".

I like EE&E too but it's no Avatar, take off the rose-colored glasses man. (And ATLA vs. SJ is a far more interesting matchup anyways.)

But I think Avatar is a better show.

Agreed. Were we not in full revival hype-swing, it would have probably shared the same fate as similar series of that time, such as Gargoyles or Duck Dodgers.

Samurai Jack crushed Duck Dodgers, even without the revival it would have done far better than DD virtually guaranteed.
Now Gargoyles OTOH is a more difficult question, because it wasn't it the same bracket. It was crushed by Batman: TAS, which seems to have lost to Avatar by now. But the problem is we don't know if Samurai Jack will beat ATLA...

People are using multiple Google accounts to stuff it. Which is, despite what some anons are saying, fairly easy to do.

Of course, I guess nothing is stopping the Batman fans from doing the same thing.
