I feel like I've constantly been hearing about how this dude has contracts and gigs left and right, and after almost ten years, we have almost nothing. A Gravity Falls comic and an unfinished pilot.

What the fuck was he doing during all those work hours?

Twitter whining

Gravity falls was one of those big of the internet things real people didn’t give a shit about

Hi Justin

I saw that new Bill Cipher book at Barnes & Noble right at the entrance with a big stand and everything. Not sure if that's an normie indicator or not.

That's pretty much how the industry works. A lot of things are planned but most of them end up falling through. The rest tend to take ages to finally get to production.

That said, Hirsch has consulted, written, and voiced on several projects since Gravity Falls. He's been far more active than a lot of other creators in his post-show years (including Anon Babble's beloved Danny Antonucci). His Netflix gig fell through, though so did all other Netflix produced animated projects because they gutted their department. He's put out 3 GF-related books through Disney. Though he hasn't launched a new show yet, he's been plenty busy.

I'm not a Hirsch dickrider, but I try to offset the unbridled rage this guy seems to bring out in some people.

real people didn’t give a shit about

I don't really know how you're delineating the difference between people on the internet and "real people" since everyone is on the internet these days, but Gravity Falls did extremely well for Disney and continues to be profitable. All three books they've put out have sold like gangbusters and Disney execs have even teased the possibility of bringing the show back.

Not sure if that's an normie indicator or not

It doesn't matter. Any evidence you could point out that he's not as much of a failure as people seem to want him to be will be waived away.

He's such an interesting case study because, as far as I can tell, the worst thing he did was tweet too much when he was younger which annoyed people. All the other reasons they try to find to hate him are things that some of Anon Babble's favorite heroes also do/did.

But that's why I specify about how we hear about him being involved in projects over the last decade with little to actually show for it. We don't hear anything about Antonucci (Which, for some reason, seems to be the person-of-choice whenever people are comparing Hirsch to someone), so I don't expect anything. That's why it's actually a surprise when he silently drops something like Snotrocket.

We hear that he has this multi-million dollar deal with Netflix, all that came out of it was a producer credit and an unfinished pilot. We hear that he's gonna be involved in Spiderverse-- oh, it ends up being an uncredited writing role. We hear he's gonna be involved in Detective Pikachu-- nothing came of that. We hear it about Mitchells, same thing.

Then we finally see what his Netflix multi-deal was, and it's an unfinished storyboard with some model sheets. Compare that to the amount of work that was scrapped from Lauren Faust's project.

Like, what's going on where the only finished things Hirsch can get done are Gravity Falls related? Compare that to Gennedy where when you hear, "Oh yeah, he was working on Popeye" and then a 90-minute animatic drops in the middle of Primal airing while he's also talking about his next idea called Unicorn Warriors Eternal.

e, as far as I can tell, the worst thing he did was tweet too much when he was younger which annoyed people.

e says things against a certain person Anon Babble decided you can't criticize or you're anti-Anon Babble

We don't hear anything about Antonucci

Lupo the Butcher
Also, we didn't hear a lot of what was going on in the pre-social media era. These days a panda farts and everyone in the world hears it. The fact that we hear more rumors about what Hirsch *might* be working on these days has more to do with access to the rumormill than there being more rumors.

We hear that he has this multi-million dollar deal with Netflix

As stated, Netflix gutted their animation productions. A lot of people who had upcoming shows got scrapped

We hear that he's gonna be involved in Spiderverse-- oh, it ends up being an uncredited writing role

So he WAS involved in Spiderverse

We hear he's gonna be involved in Detective Pikachu

He was asked to consult on the very early story phases. That ended up not happening, but anons ran with it anyway.

it's an unfinished storyboard with some model sheets

No, that's just what happened to be leaked. That work is under NDA, so someone fucked up by letting it go public (accidentally or purposefully), but that doesn't mean that's the sum total of the work that they did, nor do we know if anything we saw was even finalized.

He worked on story for Kid Cosmic, Mitchells vs the Machines, Inside Job (which he also helped produce), and voice acted for stuff like Tales of the TMNT, TMNT Mutant Mayhem, Big Top Burger, Inside Job, Amphibia, The Owl House, We Bare Bears, Star vs The Forces of Evil....

Seems to me that your biggest gripe is that the rumors you hear don't end up being true.

These days a panda farts and everyone in the world hears it.

Exactly, so when I hear Craig McCracken is working on something, it comes out a few years later. When I hear that C. H. Greenblatt is working over at a studio, we see the results a couple of years later. Even when Dana Terrace says, "Big plans coming!", we actually see those big plans within the year.

In ten years, we keep seeing that Hirsch is going to be involved in some production and it ends up being a story consultant that goes uncredited or a voice role for one episode. Either Alex is constantly butting heads and can't finish things, or he's barely doing anything and the reports are just being overhyped for no other reason than it's Hirsch. But this is still a unique situation that we only see for him. No other animation prominent figure has SO many announcements that end up being nothing. Maybe you hear Daron Nefcy was at Nickelodeon, then it's radio silence. Maybe you hear Rebecca Sugar doing something for Adventure Time, and it's a new song, then nothing.

But at one point, there was like, something for Hirsch every eight months. It's basically halted since the Netflix animation department got cut, but it's undeniable there was some hype going on for his career after GF ended.

But this is still a unique situation that we only see for him

He also has far more people paying attention. Fans are constantly digging trying to find a glimmer of a new project so they're bound to find more stuff and the blow up a thread about it. Haters are constantly digging to find more things to seethe about and then start a rage-bait thread about it. We get far more threads about Hirsch on Anon Babble than McCracken or C.H. Greenblatt. Both those creators are also far less online due to being part of the Gen X vanguard, so we're less likely to get drip fed information.

Terrace is working on her first thing since the end of Owl House, but since Gravity Falls has ended, Hirsch has racked up a ton of credits on other things (whether that's acknowledged on screen or not). For some reason you seem to think that uncredited roles are diminished, but he still did the work. Credits are often political and there are many reasons why someone might not get on-screen credit. Sometimes it has to do with contracts. Other times there are monetary considerations.

Maybe you hear Daron Nefcy was at Nickelodeon, then it's radio silence

Maybe you hear Rebecca Sugar doing something for Adventure Time, and it's a new song, then nothing

So it does happen with other creators. They're just not as popular as Hirsch is so people are less likely to dig for "news" they can break.

the reports are just being overhyped for no other reason than it's Hirsch

There's your answer. Again, your biggest gripe seems to be that you hear rumors that OTHER people circulate, and then when they're either misrepresented or turn out to be false you think "WHY HAS ALEX HIRSCH DONE THIS?!"

anons like to suck Antonucci's dick, but they hate Hirsch. They're compared to highlight the hypocrisy since many of the things Hirsch is criticized for also apply to their golden god.

On IMDb it saying it's under 20th fox now.

bieber

what is this a reference to?

I've never heard of it outside of this place.

Alex Hirsch is just really bad at time management and compromising with executives. That sadly hasn't changed much since he wrapped up on Gravity Falls, and it's why his Netflix cartoon fell apart while all his colleagues who started theirs around the same time managed to get theirs out the door.

This is the kind of shit you say if you have a weird autistic personal vendetta against Alex because what the fuck are you even talking about?

Agreed! Stan is indeed sexy

He's a ((nepo baby)) he might not do anything but everyone will dick ride him so he can larp as an industry guy.

If you put a bunch of crabs in a bucket, some of them will get close to climbing out, but the other crabs will grab them and pull them back down into the bucket with them.

I think part of the reason anons seem to hate HIrsch so much is because they're jealous of his success.

Mmmph

looks like he might have been hitting the gym.

nepo baby

Hirsch did not have family members in the industry who gave him a gig. He gained attention from his senior thesis film he did when graduating from CalArts, got a gig on Flapjack, and then was able to parlay that experience into pitching to Disney. He did get extraordinarily lucky in that he successfully pitched an original IP right before networks stopped being interested in those. The fact that he did it so early in his career was also lucky/impressive. However, trying to blame nepotism either means that you misunderstand his career trajectory or you don't know what that word actually means.

He is indeed a very damaged, coward libtard, wasting every day whining in social media, I do believe that he gets some invitations or contracts but people in charge soon realize he is such a sore loser that either they cancel said contracts or something else happens. Just look at that netflix show where they used his name to try and convince people and then he just is quietly removed.

Like seriously there are people in the industry that needs to be made an example of in a public execution and the hacklet is one of them, next to that "devil may cry creator" indian trash

Christ you people will call anything crabs in a bucket, no, we aren't doing anything to hold Hirsch down, every time he failed to get a new show off the ground it was his fault, we have nothing to do with this,

wasting every day whining in social media

Both he and Terrace have heavily curtailed their social media habits. Neither post very much anymore.

you sound kinda crabby

Do you think they will be involved in the whole PP thing? Since they are going to investigate that shit?

I have no idea what "the whole PP thing" is.

Nope. I wish I could say I had the minor honor of fucking over Alex Hirsch but I can't, he failed to release his Netflix series himself without any help from me or anyone else. I wanted to see it too.

he failed to release his Netflix series himself without any help from me or anyone else

Netflix shutting down their animation division may have had a hand in that...
