Also, just because something is meant to be for free doesn't mean it's okay to put out some cheap garbage and call it a day. | Why not? Cheap garbage sells VERY well. Look at South Park. That tv show costs next to nothing to produce, the animation is technically horrible, yet it award-winning. This is a quick web ad, not much different from the little "click on the duck and win a PS3" blurbs. Quote:

So, with a little over 4 to 1 margin, I'd say the fans have spoken...
The webisode sucked. | Just because something is aimed at kids doesn't mean it needs to suck. That's the popular cop out - "it's for kids, so... whatever." Let's put aside the "fan" and "hater" talk. The fact is: it's shockingly sub-par even for kids and the target demographic. | |

Feedback from the adult fanbase isn't going to change the purpose of this video, so those who didn't like the content can expect more of it. | I'm sorry, Tim, I was under the impression that the kids were not counted as fans. That only collectors and other teens/adults were fans that counted as only 10% of the market. So, while the responses are from the 10% of the target market, I figured it represented 100% of the average TF fanbase.
Of course it's not realy aimed at us, but Kids like quality too, even if they don't understand the concept.
And to webz' comment about badly drawn shows like South Park, he discounts that while drawn in a simple style, it is hardly done badly and the writing is excellent. | |

| It's so the target audience, kids, and see it and say "I want that blue jet and the red one with the pointy head! Um..what's 'exclusive' mean? I DON'T CARE I WANT IT!"
and it begins for a whole new generation.

I would have rather seen them just animate new footage over the original G1 audio.
Or just NOT do this at all, and do quality shorts like they're doing for G.I. Joe.
This is not good.
