      Unpopular opinion, but I liked Problem Solverz. The visuals are unique, complex, and have a general pixel-pop art fusion aesthetic that I don't see a lot of the time. The bright colors, while painful to some, are a feature of the work. What the show did with its first season was make a background that was original in how it popped, and despite a lack of focal point, it made the entirety of the shot worth looking at. This gave the illusion of a full and brimming world, and I'm dubious that my last point is wrong in most people's eyes.

    I feel bad for the creator, he looks like this was a passion project he probably felt his life had been building up to make and now its on people’s lists for ‘worst cartoon ever’. It feels like the show suffered from him having too much creative control combined with his lack of experience
    I wish it could have been more like how the second season was described, at least a generic cartoon has more of a chance being remembered fondly by the kids who grew up watching it than a widely hated one

      @rohan_christopher 3 года назад +93

      not really, ben jones was and remains to be a very accomplished and important artist, at least for an "indie artist". neon knome was definitely his "passion project" i think given that hes been working with those characters forever, but problem solverz was already a sort of bastardized version of that (though i still think its brilliant) and i dont think he holds it very closely. ive talked with him about it though and it seems like hes scared to do anything with neon knome again because "problem solverz almost ruined it" which is what makes me sad.
      he didn't lack experience, everything in the show was a very conscious artistic decision and the philosophy surrounding his and his collective paper rad's animated work was always to be very deconstructionist and "amateurish." they loved working with flash and all the bizarre inhuman things you could achieve with it. i dont know if theyd put it that way but thats definitely what they practiced. the show should have never been on cartoon network, it should have remained a pffr production on adult swim. it would be hailed in the same breath as xavier: renegade angel if that were the case, because the adult swim audience tunes into that network (at least at the time) for much more avant garde work

I've seen shows that are intentionally bad in a certain aspect of it (such as with many adult cartoons having strange/disturbing art styles and animation like Mr. Pickles), but that doesn't change the fact that it's still bad. With Problem Solverz, it's definitely meant to emulate an acid trip of some sort, but the art style, animation, and colors are so god awful to me that I hate it. I'm not saying you can't like it, more power to you, but I'm not gonna think something bad is good just because it was intended to be that way.

    Yeah, I was one of those folks who HAAAATED this show but knowing more of the history of it, I can see where things went wrong.
    From the sound of things, Problem Solverz would have fit on AS better but even more than that, they should have given the creator more freedom to make the shorts at his own pace without having to adhere to a weekly series that was written by committee. It's clear that the guy is an artist and what he makes only runs on a plan he comes up with, not suits that are trying to sell this to kids.
    I also notice that the animation in both the original short and the series also fucks with the artist's style. In the original, it's more jerky and works better with the almost 80s/90s video game style to it. It has a creepy feel that works WITH the world but the version that aired on CN is just standard Flash but it moves too smooth with the style of the characters and just looks bad. I know feel kinda bad about what happened knowing the background of the person who created it, his work and so on and while I still think ended up on CN was complete and utter garbage I blame that more on the people tried to make something that would have fit so much better with an older teen and adult audience with stone humor on CN and trying to....play it safe while pretending they were 'edgy'.

    There's a lot of reasons this show was hated. The first is how visually unappealing it is. From the character design to the backgrounds to the horrible, horrible use of color. In fact it can visually hurt to look at it. But once you scrape past all that and push through to the storytelling and comedy... It's still not very good

      indeed,its like the animators have no idea which colour complements what and what colours contrast each other,making it painful to see the animation at all.Not to mention,the show has no shading making every scene look bright and adding the fact that the colors they use are never dull but vibrant makes it worse to watch.
      The art style is...something that a 1st grader can come up with on MS paint in my opinion,I mean a good example would be Tuxdog,his mouth is just 2 circle shapes and 1 small circle to form a dog's snout.The show also has no idea how to focus on its characters as seen by the VERY DISTRACTING backgrounds and background characters.
      I suppose the show is good for one thing...teaching future animators that knowing how to design an appropriate art style,shading,colour theory and knowing how to focus on your characters is necessary for an animation or you would end up with this mess.

    I remember when I was a kid we had cable and I'd watch it before bed to fall asleep. But god this show used to terrify me. I remember thinking I got to adult swim on accident (there usually were announcements and thats when I'd turn off the TV.) I'd hide under my blanket because the fever dream of a show scared me more than robot chicken, and the art style gave me nightmares.

    I loved this show as a kid. I watched it obsessively and had some weird obsession with Roba. I was a sensory seeking kid and didn't get out of the house much at all so this was a blast of sensory sweetness. It was different than anything I've seen and I craved what it provided. The writing was forgettable and got on my nerves at times but I couldn't stop watching because of the visuals. I think this show would've been a HIT for adults (who can handle the sensory better than kids) and if the writing was way better
