>>105307469Regular Show. It stayed what it was meant to be, and while that doesn't automatically make it good, at least you get what you signed up for for the most part. AT tried experimenting too much and constantly alienated its audiences with deep intellectual garbage and awful female characters. Way before the finale I realized RS was something I wanted to watch more.
RS was a dude show, the main cast were all dudes and they never tried to shoehorn in a female character at the Park or anything for demo quotas or whatever. I don't always want female characters in supporting or lesser roles, but it was really good for a series like RS to keep them sort of in the background, especially because of the decade it was airing in. If Eileen was any more prominent it'd have been insufferable. There were some shitty people on RS like Owen Dennis who were kept in line by not being able to make any breakout female characters.
Outside of my personal preference of female characters and that I liked having a dude cartoon to watch for the first time in awhile, Regular Show's formulaic "monster of the week" shtick kept it feeling like Adventure Time when Adventure Time stopped feeling like itself. While Finn was crying over women Mordecai was fighting inner demons or something in the last 2 minutes. Aside from the few times where the monster/predicament felt like a copy of an episode before it, they were usually interesting and fun. Finn and Jake used to be the better duo because I liked their bond, but over time too much shit got fucked up between them and the writing got worse and the familial love just kinda disappeared. With Mordecai and Rigby both being dicks, at least it was consistent and the times they bonded felt genuine.
AT sold out to its fans, a huge part of the crew using tumblr/social media every day, JG is off the radar mostly and didn't give in to the pressure of what the fans wanted. He just did what show he wanted to make and that was it.
RS, no question
