Reasons Why Over the Garden Wall is Awful

The Top Ten
1 It's Not a Comedy

The last time I checked not every cartoon has to be a comedy. If you really cared, you would’ve have checked and the genre of this show is dark fantasy and adventure. Unlike you, people with enough brain cells would have checked before watching to see if they would be really into this.

So every show has to be a comedy? What is this supposed to mean? If this show is so terrible, I wonder with it got a 9/10 on IMDB and a 99/100 on Rotten Tomatoes. (The highest rated CN show ever, by the way)
I don't know who wrote this list, but they are obviously out of their mind.

Is this a joke or something? And while I'm here I just want to say OTGW does have comedy, it's just not the main focus of the show. Also some of these reasons are doubles.

2 Bad Animation

Everything out of American TV these days is bad animation, Over the Garden Wall is definitely trash and very cheap looking.

Seriously, CN? You can do way better than this. Wirt barely shows his arms and has a triangular nose, and Gregory has a small mouth and looks like a deformed fat person. Not to mention, their noses are pink and they have circular eyes with huge, soulless black irises.

Are you kidding me? Otgw has grew animation and whoever thinks otherwise needs to learn what animation is. #THE TRUTH

3 It's Not Exciting

Who wants to watch two kids walk around a forest?!

Whoever wrote this list is just insane

Who wants to hear you complain?

4 It's Too Short

Only 10 episodes?! I guess that CN thought the show was so bad they only let it run for a year.

5 It's Overrated

It's a good show but according to IMDB it scores 9/10. Seems like a OTT rating to me.

6 Wirt is an Awful Brother

What are you talking about? Half the time Wirt is trying to keep Greg SAFE

He never shows any concern of Gregory when they're in extreme danger.

7 It's Not a Kid-Friendly Cartoon

One episode, if I can recall correctly, had a part where the main characters were drowning in water, although that was part of a dream. But still...

8 The Beast is Pointless and Unoriginal

It's SO unoriginal. We've seen "a dangerous beast that lurks in the shadows, away from the main characters until the last few episodes" a million times already.

Maybe your mom is pointless and unoriginal

9 It Only Appeals to SJWs

I am so sick of these CN shows that appe to Tumblr users/social justice warriors! I probably would've been okay if there were only a couple, but come on!

Only a five year old would think this.

10 Women are Portrayed as Prizes for the Male Characters

What the hell are you even talking about with this?

The Contenders
11 There are No Transgender Characters

Seriously? Why would there need to be? I'm not transgender myself but I can assure you as a minority that not everything needs to be shown in a cartoon with minimal cast. Go read Magnus Chase or something.

(I am aware that Alex is genderfluid and not transgendered but I'm pretty sure that they are similar enough.)

That's not a bad thing, the less of those freaks we see, the better. Especially in media targeted toward children.

12 It is Boring

Hell yea especially episode 9. Almost fell asleep while watching that one. Who the hell makes a filler episode in a mini-series that goes 10 minutes per episode?

It’s not boring. I almost cried. I almost screamed. I almost jump out of my seat.

13 The Animation is Ugly

Your mom is uglier

14 It's Stupid

Look's like you're running out of ideas to hate this show.

15 Borrows the same Nonsense Humor and Style of Adventure Time

Cartoon Network's "Renaissance" is anything but. Garden Wall is just Adventure Time under another name, and even has the same writers and animators. It's just really overrated.

This list is really stupid. It's not a ripoff of Adventure Time.

16 The Characters are Mean
17 The Series Tries to Act Like an Anime
18 It Has No Black People

That actually makes the show a hundred times more enjoyable. As stupid as OTGW is, adding blacks would honestly just further lower its quality. Kind of like anything involving them in real life.

19 Rip Off of Gravity Falls

The only similarity they share is two siblings and something creepy in the woods. And the settings and plot are completely different.
