User blog:CalTonTheRobot/Is The Casagrandès arc, Really an Arc?

Wikipedia describes an arc as: "An extended or continuing storyline in episodic storytelling media such as television, comic books, comic strips, boardgames, video games, and films with each episode following a dramatic arc.

'On a television program, for example, the story would unfold over many episodes.'" -

why do i point this out?....

Because i believe that the Upcoming Casagrandè's arc (which by the way, begins tomorrow) doesn't technically qualifiy as a "Story arc" which is what this wiki and Nickelodeon refer to this five stringed Large house episodics. {Casagrandè's in spanish is Large House... i learned that on this wiki, Thanks The Loud House Encyclopedia :) }

now currently 4 episodes of the arc have their name AND synopsis and judging from their synopsis...

( the fifth episode has it's name but as of writing this blog it doesn't have it's synopsis.. but 4 episodes is i think enough to judge it's Arc status) none of them actually are connected to the story of 'Friended' in terms of continuing the story or adding on like its a second part

for example 'No Show' synopsis says:

"Ronnie Anne refuses to watch her family's favorite telenovela. But when she sees a clip and becomes hooked, she tries to hide her secret from them."

now tell me.. does that seem any way connected to 'Friended'.. or is it just a different episode with a Unique plot...

Yes it stars the Casagrandès' but it's not a second part like it sounded like it was gonna be...

it's just a regular Loud house episode starring The Casagrandès' NOT a second part

the only episode that is SLIGHTLY connected to Friended and Sid and Ronnie Anne's friendship is 'Room For Improvement' That it... everything else is just a different story...

i'm pointing this out because i believe Nickelodeon is NOT using the Term "Story Arc" right

Story Arcs' as descibed by Wikipedia is one story told through multiple episodes... HECK the page uses Anime/Mangas as an Example of "Story Arcs" and calls it "good examples of arc-based stories"

Don't Believe me?

Go check out the page yourself i'll leave a link... you go check it out, don't worry i'll wait...

Wikipedia "Story Arc"


 * checks watch*

ok are you done.... good

now look i'm Not Saying The String of episodes, Arc or whatever in god's name you want to call em.. are going to be bad per say... heck i haven't even seen Friended yet, (well it's not out yet but i will give it a chance despite my worries of it being another Cleveland Show Like Cartoon)

what i am saying is that Nickelodeon is Not Using The Term "Story arc" correctly.. which is what i don't think the string of episodes should be called

they should be called "an obvious 5 episode advertisement for the Casagrandè spin off show"

but that's me...

i'll be watching 'Friended' when it comes out... and give my thoughts on it...

but chances are if it ends up being trash i might boycott the other 4 episodes along with the Spin off show...

so... yeah i'm done

see you dudes (possibly) Tomorrow
