User blog:AustinDR/Reasons AGAINST the Movie (IMO)


 * 1) I still that the show isn't ready for a theatrical interpretation. The show itself is only about a year and a half old by the time that I'm typing. The show isn't close to getting into its third season yet, I feel that it's a bad decision to rush into making a film. I mean, at least with something like SpongeBob, it was already an established TV series with three seasons at that point.
 * 2) One problem I have with the idea of a theatrical film is that the Loud House isn't really "thrilling." What I mean is one of the genres for the show is slice of life where it's just the characters living their lives on a daily business. Really, the only bad thing that can happen in the show is the occasional fight or whatnot. There isn't that much substance for the Loud House for a movie to be made. Now, Savino did say that the film was going to have a "bigger" plot that is unrelated to the show, so we'll have to wait and see on that regard.
 * 3) Not enough notability. Yeah, there are some people out there who have no idea that this show exists. For instance, when my English class brought up a genre trope of a character breaking the fourth wall, I brought up Lincoln. I was then met with blank stares. My initial worry is that the movie will bomb. While I am sure that the fans of the show will of course go out to support the film, what many don't realize is a film is released to the general audience. If the film was made only for the fans who cater to the show, it wouldn't be that bad. However, when you have some people who had neither heard of the show or watched a single episode of the series, what would make you think they'd be interested in watching the film? Sure, parents would most likely take their kids to see the film, so that could help in the long run.
 * 4) Writing. Part of the reason as to why another movie based of a Nicktoon named Hey Arnold: The Movie tanked was because the writing was bland and unoriginal. Worse, it lacked the wit of the television series. With a show like the LH...the writing varies. Some episodes can be exceptionally great when placed into the right hands, but some episodes would also range from mediocre to a few duds. The Loud Hosue is an episodic show with little to no continuity (there are some SLIGHT instances of continuity), so making a film that would require one linear story would probably not work in the writers' favor. Some writers, while talented, simply can't write a continuing story.
