What went wrong?
What went wrong?
not enough advertising leading to not enough plastic/fluff being sold.
the show was solid and the story was just beginning when they canned it, letting the audience hook go uncast.
the first season was cut in 2 by netflix.
It died in the womb
nickelodeon
That was the problem
It had good animation and character designs but man was the show concept really generic, one of the few times I don't blame the network for dropping a cult favorite.
The decision to make it
That's not what happened at all
It was animated and released though?
Victim of company politics. The exec who signed off on it left and a new one came in. New exec wouldn't renew it because its success would be credited to the old exec.
Nickelodeon.
No episode where Miko eats a five-layer burrito pyramid and uses her newfound speed-boost and double-jump abilities to help her in defeating the glitch of the week
That girl has a huge ass.
Glitch techs actually had some good streaming numbers, getting better viewers than Hilda
But this was was pawned off to netflix by nick during a period of cleaning house so they were never going to support it anyway, sadly
Here's just how badly Glitch Tech got screwed over.
The first season was ready for months but Nickelodeon sat on it
After it was done almost everybody who worked on the show got fired
They even halted the real season two's production before the show even got shown to the public, causing the cast and crew to just not being able to do anything for months
This caused character designs to get leaked as apart of one of the artist's portfolios
And then they shoved it onto Netflix without anyone working on the show knowing about it until it was announced greatly lowering their moral. >This was done because Nick lost faith in the show due to its high cost and there was a corporate restructuring going on that canceled multiple low rating shows and shows that were still in development.
The show also got absolutely no advertisement from Nickelodeon or Netflix
Netflix also released the episodes out of order causing elements from future episodes to appear earlier than they should have
Netflix even cut season one in half and dumped them as two separate seasons
And then the show was eventually canceled during season two's production
They even got the voice actors ready to record for some season two episodes
The crew was then made to work on the SpongeBob spin offs
Not much is known about the real season 2 except for that one of the episodes in production is a crossover with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The only things known about the crossover is that the TMNT would be a new incarnation with designs being a mix between 80s and the original comics
Kevin Eastman, the co-creator of the TMNT franchise, would have play Shredder
And there's a Glitch Techs remix of the 80s theme
This was revealed by a leak with this Tweet

I got more Nickelodeon trivia on how badly they screwed over their shows if anyone want this to turn into a "Nickelodeon fails" thread.
Dammit
I got more Nickelodeon trivia
Oh please go ahead. I don't know your sources but I'm hungry for some heartache.
And you didn't even go to the 'Harvey Beaks' thread?
Zamn..
They went to Nickelodeon.
Shows with gimmicky setups are always doomed
yeah, that's probably why hazbin dropped idea of actually spending time at it's premise and went straight into heaven and then overlord wars
Monster of the week is gimmicky?
As many anons have said, died before it could even come out. It's kind of a miracle it even came out at all.
I think what sucks is that we'll never know if it could have failed or succeeded for 6 more seasons since it didn't even have a chance unless it was making like, Squid Game numbers and celebrities were having Glitch Techs themed weddings or something.
Nick had also started to stop the "get season 2 into production before the show even premieres since animation takes such a long time" routine that we're starting to see Disney introducing it's shows too. Was just the trend starting with the 2020s.
I don't even really like Glitch Techs, it was throwback to shows like Jake Long and Danny Phantom, It was an action show that wasn't based on a DC or Marvel property or an 80s toy cartoon or some young adult novel or something, just animator-driven. Sucks man.
Show was killed before it aired
Yeah, this show was announced all the way back in 2016. By the time they finally released it, production got screwed over.
Not enough Miko R34
No explicit sex scenes
I wanna bite it
You're generic
Video Game Ghostbusters was fine and could have been neater if they went into actual games more and busting one monster last a few episodes instead of just one
Honestly every episode should have been like the Castlevania one where the video game worlds fuse with the real world environments. Obviously the assets they would need to create would be much greater but if it lasted several episodes like you said or they even revisited the locations then they could milk the environments.
Eh, I dont think that's absolutely necessary unless the backdrop is iconic, like Castlevania. But you wouldn't need to do it for something like Street Fighter for example.
Well you could still do something related to a change in environment with Street Fighter. Maybe a possession glitch takes over a company in the city, and the Glitch Techs have to take out the glitches Game of Death style where they fight the possessed employees on each floor until they reach the top. Maybe they have to perform a specific combo on each floor to progress and disable the possession Glitch, or something to tie it back toward fighting games.
netflix
The new heads of Nick killed it cause it was a decision from the old heads
We could have saved those hips, Anon Babble
We've at least immortalized em
Take solace in that
Look, Castlestine is my favorite episode and I very much would have liked to see several more of those. But no they shouldn't have done a reverse ReBoot in every single episode. Not just because it would dilute the MIB influences, or because of budget, or because Augmented Reality was kind of timely, but because it would also make stakes more abstract even if they were theoretically higher. Plus they wouldn't be able to do the contrast for things like the Pong episode half as well, the Kaiju threat wouldn't really work they were just inside a game setting.
This dance battle looks like the vertical expressing of some horizontal desires.
Men in Black for video games.
The show should have worked.
Nah I get you. I do agree to an extent. It would seperate things from the real world, I have to say though, the mind-wiping kind of already does that. The consequences aren't massive because of the mind-wiping and that's perfectly fine but if they want the characters to operate completely separate from the civilians might as well go whole hog and create pocket dimensions all across Bailey.
Oh also you still could have stuff like the Kaiju Episode affect the real word, like if the main street transforms into a Rampage style level and the Kaijus start destroying buildings it results in real buildings getting destroyed since they are just "skinned" with the glitch aesthetics.
They do have those repair bombs to cover up the physical damage. So yes environmentally they still do kind of cheat on the possible impacts. But I guess the point I'm kind of leaning towards is that they can't involve nonGT people in the glitchcapades unless they're functionally a prisoner of the game scenario.
Having a total takeover as an potential 'worst case' scenario leaves that genre, as it were, open: having it as the exclusive one closes other avenues off. There's no threat of a glitch ruining Nica's birthday party and her blaming Miko for embarrassing her in front of Chazz Lambo. The episode could try to build that tension but an audience would catch on that they have no choice but to memory wipe them if they were all transported from Bailey's Megamall to a sewer level with flying purple rats.
