A Scathing Letter To Cartoon Brew

 Dear Cartoon Brew,

You are one of the worst websites for animation I know. You're everything I despise about bad faith reviews and news reporting. I can't believe what start out as an honest endeavor by Jerry Beck and Amid Amidi has now turned into a sad, pathetic and painfully unfunny joke of itself.

I first saw just how bad you were are reporting news when Chris Savino was fired from Nickelodeon. Instead of simply doing your job and reporting what happen, how it happened and leaving links to hotlines for victims of abuse, your editor decides to go on and say The Loud House should be canceled for what Chris Savino had done. Oh sure! Let's fire 100s of hard working employees with families because their boss was a creep! Do you see how cruel that sounds? This is something I'd expect from a 2 year old who thought firing people was part of the game we call life!

But it didn't stop there, did it? No it only got worse and worse as you spread misinformation and lie to your viewers. You knew Cartoon Network wasn't going to shut down after Warner Bros. merged with Discovery. Yet you go and published that article anyway, causing everyone and they Grandma dread and anxiety. This isn't even your first offense as in 2020 you claimed Disney wasn't supportive of The Owl House's push for LGBTQ representation, when the creator confirmed that was not even close to true. You give other journalists and reporters a bad name because of how much you lie and hype up misinformation just to get views.

Just when you couldn't get anymore pathetic, you post a news article about Rebecca Sugar buying a house and POST HER ADDRESS ONLINE???!!! What the flop is your problem?! Why would any one of your editors think that was a good idea?! Regardless of intention, you just doxxed Rebecca Sugar and put her and her husband at risk of getting killed! I can't even think of a valid reason why anyone would do something this incredibly stupid! If I was Rebecca, I'd get my lawyer on the phone and sue your pants off!

If I had any respect for you, it left the building years ago. I'd even go as far as to say Cartoon Brew was better off laying dormant since Jerry Beck left because now it's just a freak show with Amid Amidi as the ring leader. It's clear you don't even have a so much as a speck of dignity left because this website should've shut down a long time ago. Hence for, I will NOT be using links to your website and I shall discourage others from doing the same. You are the bane of animation's existence and the medium would be better of if you cease to exist.

Sincerely,

A Real Animation Fan -.-

A Scathing Letter To Mr Enter

 Dear John,

I just want to say congratulations on proving your haters right. Over the years you've been called, selfish, egotistical, pretentious, and overall ignorant among many other things. I used to be one of your defenders until recent years and I feel like an idiot for not seeing it until now. 

Firstly, how dare you call any cartoon or creator lazy? Do you really think people who spent more time learning the craft of animation that you learned the fine are of basic common sense wouldn't bother putting in any effort to their projects. Even the poorest quality of animation takes a lot more effort to make than anything you or I could put out because we have no experience in the medium.

You say health care shouldn't be a right? Then I guess the Affordable Care Act, which was passed to give everyone health care even when they couldn't afford it beforehand, was rather pointless. You clearly don't know the struggle of not being able to pay medical bills to save a loved one's life or your own. You've clearly never had the displeasure of not having enough money to pay back the hospital after they treated you. If you did, you would know just how dangerous your argument of "health care shouldn't be a right" actually is.

You think Disney and Pixar are just greedy corporate executives cracking their whips over content creators. A bit of hyperbole, but it's not far of with how you feel about Disney or any of the major animation companies. Disney isn't just guys in suits having business meetings. It's also hard working men and women trying their best to entertain the audience. The people that make the films and TV show you hate more often than not are people how have always wanted to work for Disney and leave their mark under the Mouse House. They're not slaves under the thumb of a Pharoah who only cares about his own ego, and even if they were, you ain't Moses.

Your hatred for executives is exactly what's holding you back from making Growing Around a reality. You say you want to do it independently, but that's easier said than done. You didn't provide so much as an animatic in your Kickstarter to intice more people to back it. You have yet to make a pilot for your concept to get people invested in your idea. If you're really dead set on making Growing Around happen, than you need a financial planner to help you with investments. Whether you like it or not, you need a business plan to bring your cartoon to life; otherwise it's just going to be another idea in a sea full of them in your mind.

Your worst quality, though, isn't your pretentious attitude, or dangerous takes, or even your recent selfish review in which you imply Domee Shi was ignorant for not mentioning 9/11 in her film that's set in 2002 (despite the fact that it has NOTHING to do with the story). No, the worst part about you John is you are so cynical that you retired Admirable Animations. To you Soul was the last great animated anything, when since that film's release we've had a quite a few really good animated projects you could've and should've talked about. Netflix is absolutely killing it with their animated releases with films like Flee, Vivo and The Mitchells vs The Machines recieving critical acclaim. Then there's the animated shows on the platform like Kid Cosmic, Arcane, The Midnight Gospel and Inside Job among so many others. Outside of Netflix, HBOMax has really good shows like Looney Tunes Cartoons, Jellystone and Primal. Amazon Prime has been killing it with Invincible, The Legend of Vox Machina, and Undone and AppleTV+ has some shows like The Snoopy Show, Pinecone & Pony, and El Deafo. We are living in a golden age of animated content and you don't want to talk about any potential great ones because all you care about is trying to make your own animated project a reality.

John, when you started making reviews, you were irritated at a show's failures but very complimentary to a shows strengths. I thought if you looked kept talking about good animated shows and movies, you'd have a greater appreciation for the art form abe more understanding and respectful when you do critcise animated projects. Instead of that happening, you just became more spiteful, selfish, egotistical and ignorant to the point where everything your detractors said about you is true. You're not the worst critic, but you're most certainly among the most pretentious and I should've seen it coming sooner so that I could've help prevent this outcome. I hope you lose all your subscribers and people stop giving you money on Patreon. 

Sincerely,

A Former Fan -.-
