Since I couldn't find one, I decided to make a Johnny Test thread.
I think the show's pretty interesting, even though it feels like a Dexter's Lab ripoff and it uses Flash animation.
So yeah, feel free give your thoughts and opinions on the show.
A Johnny Test Thread. Didn't see that coming.

I admire your courage for creating this topic despite the glaringly obvious and ubiquitous burning contempt for the show on AP, and will again commend you here, but I'll refrain from talking about it at length because I have almost nothing good to say about it.
I think it's well voice acted. Or at least, decently voice acted. :|

There's a dark cloud floating over this topic. Storm is coming.

Hmm, I didn't know a lot of people here hate it. I don't like it myself, although I do find it interesting.

Hey, this isn't my parade. I'm just the one that got it started.

Maybe we should just have a guilty pleasures thread fo all the cartoons people secretly like, that most adults don't.

This show is …
OK at best.

You know what was a good show? Batman Beyond. That was an awesome show.

Was that the one where he was a teenager?

It was set in the future and a teenager (Terry McGinnis) was the new Batman. But, the old Batman, himself wasn't the teenager in the series. The old Batman was an old man.

Batman Beyond always reminded me of Phantom 2040, which is the only reason Peter Chung wasn't convicted of war crimes after Reign: The Conqueror.
In the interests of saying one nice thing about the topic of the thread… well, it wasn't the 4Kids dub of One Piece.
Complicating things since 2009.

No. Just no.
Thank God my niece neglects this show. She'd rather watch Fanboy and Chum Chum, which is weird as all hell, but bearable.
And then she makes me watch Yo Gabba Gabba….......No, Yo Gabba Gabba is still far more bearable than Johnny Test.

Wasnt it revealed in the end that Terry was Bruce's biological Son? Or I think it might have been a Justice League episode - I can't recall it that well.

That was a JLU episode ("Epilogue"). But it was made in order to give the Batman Beyond series closure. It had almost nothing to do with the Justice League and everything to do with Batman Beyond.
It was the "Series Finale" of Batman Beyond, basically and Terry is Bruce's son, somehow.

This and Storm Hawks was the only thing i could even watch on CN two or three years ago.
It was ok but nowhere near the level of the likes of Dexter, Johnny B, Ed, Edd + Eddy, Courage etc. It was good enough to watch but nothing I miss.
Miles better than Ben 10 which was the only other thing on tho.
I wish I could remember the other one. Ummm. Robo-Boy? That too was pretty okish too.

That was the worst plot twist I'd ever seen in any Justice League episode, and let's not talk about how bizarrely complex it was biochemically and how far reaching a conspiracy it was on Cadmus' part.
I can imagine Cadmus pulling the strings to try and manufacture a coincidence that ruins Terry's life in a way similar to Bruce Wayne. It would have been tough and have many fail points, as it did in the show. That moronic paternity revelation, though? It made no sense from a narrative POV.
One theme about Batman Beyond I liked was how Bruce's desire for justice transcended all physical barriers and reincarnated in an era when Batman was needed most. That episode backtracked and unnecessarily diminished the strength of the resolve by adding the genetic component, suggesting Batman's justice wasn't something inherent in all humanity that just had to be coerced out under the right conditions, but specific only to someone of his lineage. Lame.

Nice post though, Maintex - I never thought about that. You have a good point.
-
This is a show you watch when you're bored.
So bored your brain just doesn't give a fuck.
When your brain begins to give a fuck, it pukes out your eye sockets.
Then you gotta clean that up.
Now, who wants to clean up brain puke?

I think you looked too deep into what she was saying, I didn't take it as "no one else but a bruce wayne clone" could do this… as you've got Dick Grayson WHO NEVER got taken down. I thought they just wanted a clone for insurance that someone would take up the mantle.
They seemed to focus more on the aspect of Bruce pushing everyone away to "protect" them, and getting so caught up with justice that he forgot to live.
Which I found kinda silly since villains never find out his secret identity (in most story variations), so his paranoia is kinda in vain, other wise Alfred would've been long dead.

Johnny Test was bearable until they changed the animation….and the writing somewhat, but not much
