Message: [QUOTE="Raziya The Seeker, post: 119072, member: 149867"] I am seeing a distinct lack of [USER=88]@Lee__Kanker[/USER] on this thread, and it feels like a travesty. But yeah, EEnE was fun. I loved a lot of Cartoon Network and, compared to Nick and Didney these days, maybe that's for the best. Much as I wasn't one of the neighborhood rowdies like the Ed-boys, there was something very down-to-earth about the shenanigans they got into. Growing up in the suburbs in a lower-middle-class household (in some ways a step above white trash), the show felt like this amazing summer vacation. The cartoony aspects aside, the characters felt like someone we all knew. I don't mean to sound offensive, but... I like Ed. I was more of a Double D kid growing up, but Ed's cool for adult me. There was this classic meme about Jimmy being "the first gay kid you ever knew" (the meme's words, not mine), but Ed was definitely the first autistic kid one would ever know by meme logic. He's just this genuinely good-natured, sweet-hearted geek too. And I don't know if it was intentional, but the episode where he's overwhelmingly angry at everything due to a pebble in his shoe? If that wasn't meant to be an allegory to autistic meltdowns... well, it sure felt relatable to me. ...well, that's enough vulnerability for one day. I should rewatch EEnE anyway. Some of my favorite episodes include the big inner-tube river cruise thing, and when they made a city solely out of cardboard boxes. Rolf's great and if not for Nazz, I wouldn't have known what to name one of my favorite D&D characters (a gnoll bard metalhead named Nazreen) because she's also great. I feel like the Kankers would've aged better with me from afar, but it was cool to have them as the Eds' rivals... and also that they all had crushes on the boys, one for each Ed, on top of that. And the movie finale...! One of the best finales of cartoons, if you ask me. [/QUOTE]
