Egoraptor, speaking truth to power.

Yeah, this is bullshit. It’s all bullshit.

A staff member on the 2011 show went on a podcast a few months back and revealed what would happen -

Now the reason they were able to do all that? THE SHOW GOT RENEWED. There was a season 2 approved and they got as far as completing a full outline for the season and scripting six episodes.

Then the renewal got rescinded as a cost cutting measure, because LEGO offered a much cheaper knockoff called “Legends of Chima”.

Even better, the show was originally supposed to be on Adult Swim’s Toonami block, a block for adult action cartoons. However, the executives moved it to the network proper.

Given all that, and that the renewal was approved, do not put this “You didn’t watch and now you deserve this shitty Tumblrized garbage fire” on viewers. Because people did watch!
