I don’t understand how he can be this out of order. Just write the damn thing chronologically like a normal person
Here's the problem with that: Enter's clearly a hopeless scatterbrain. If he were to write this stuff chronologically with the methods he's using now (i.e. Whatever cool idea pops into his head, just roll with it), the show would be a mood whiplash nightmare. It's only natural that the episode order gets scrambled a little to ensure the audience has some degree of a comfort zone; Make sure the status quo isn't completely broken every other episode, despite those dramatic stories being more fun to write.
Key words here are "scrambled
a little." In most actual cartoons, if you compare the production order of episodes to the release order, there's usually very little overlap between two seasons. I've never known a professional writer to fully script multiple episodes of a fourth season before sharply backpedalling to the first. Why does Enter do this? He's too obsessed with his show being mostly light-hearted and fun in its early seasons, then mostly dramatic and "mature" in its later seasons, because that's how modern children's cartoons work, right? Well, by that logic, modern children's cartoons don't plan for 175 episodes across six seasons when they're not even sure how much time/effort
one episode is going to take.
Enter clearly never looked into why "Gravity Falls" only lasted two seasons. It wasn't the creator's original day-one vision, nor Disney being careless with every cool idea they have. It was Alex Hirsch deciding "You know what? Making the first season nearly killed me. I need to end this as soon as possible."
If Enter DOES know this, then either:
A: He assumes "Growing Around" will require five times less effort/stress than Gravity Falls (Not likely, considering his planned budget)
or B: He assumes he can take on more power and responsibility than Alex Fucking Hirsch. (Just egocentric enough to be right.)
Well, if it's responsibility he wants, maybe he can start by updating his website every once in a while. His episode lists are all incredibly out of date, and he still has links to his beyond-dead Tumblr and Vid.me accounts.
I review animated films and episodes from cartoons, usually focusing on why they don't work. I take a look at anything, usually having a heavy emphasis on story, whether it be middle-of-the-road or...
