Cartoon Networks: Regular Show was more than just a cartoon, but it was truly a masterful piece of art during the Renaissance of Cartoon Network in the 2010s, where Cartoon Network dominated television. With a show centered on fluid and effective dialogue, the themes formed by Regular Show may be the strongest and most mature out of my experiences of watching. The art of the show is brilliant, with the plot being engaging and entertaining. This show is the epitome of a masterful cartoon, one that will live on in Cartoon History, with the likes of Looney Tunes and Spongebob.
JG Quintel has an art of developing interesting characters with plot that directly intertwine with these characters with small and big problems. These problems are always intertwined and turn into something a lot bigger, escalating a little problem until a bigger one forms, which is harder to deal with. This teaches us about being honest and dealing with the smaller problems first and addressing them
It always teaches us the impact of lying. Lying is what nearly costs Rigby his friendship. There is a lot to address and shows the impact of our action overall.
The plot overall is always engaging and has engaging sub plots and regular plots as well, with the development of a larger conflict always being interesting. This show has been the key point in a revolution of Cartoon Network, and is a great example of how cartoons should function coming near the future. As we come to an end to a Renaissance, new creators should look to build off Regular Show's engaging story lines and character development and create their unique perspective on it. Character development is key to a great cartoon, and is a limitation for a potential iconic cartoon. I believe SVTFOE goes through the same problem, but makes up for it's outstanding plot development.
Regular Show's character may be just as good as BoJack Horseman's is some aspects (with the limitation of PG versus R in mind). Mordecai develops a character as a voice of reason and someone who seems to be in and out of love, Rigby seems to become this pathological liar and destroys the life of these characters. Flaws are clearly pointed out and addressed, but in less mature ways
In conclusion, Regular Show is a marvelous and masterful modern cartoon, which will live as an iconic cartoon for the 2010s
