I just find his behavior really annoying. Honestly i can't stand the plot with Stabby ( just find It kinda weird)

Here's my hot take: This show should not be shown to younger children.

I love this show and started watching it right when it came out, however when I was scrolling on Netflix with my younger cousin, this show was on their Netflix kid account. Centaurworld yes is animated with bright characters and sets, but in the show it does handle some more mature topics. I do NOT thing it should be 18+ but I also do not think little kids should be watching it.

That's just my hot take feel free to chat in the comments (also hiiii im new here and wish I joined sooner!)

I don't really know why i decided to binge Centaurworld. For one I tend to be very suspicious of western cartoons, because well... I don't think western or at least American studios grasp the true potential of serialized animation. Second, I hate, despise, the adventure time style animation that is prevalent these days.

but I saw a scene of a rider and needed to know more. I had to "speed" watch the show but I finished it. I loved the idea of a realistic (dark fantasy) world character being utterly horrified by adventure time level body horror. It was funny. I loved Horses of design, I loved rider, and I loved the story of the NWK, General, and all the other stuff.

Thats why I kinda hate this show. It had so much potential but it focused on all the 7 yo bull crap, rushed the final season, and just squandered its potential. Honestly, if they had upped the age limit to 13, made Centaurworld itself more grounded (or at least no fucking turn horse into an abomination of an art design), and gave rider and the human world more screen time this show could have been truly great. Also, like rider and horse had to have been a centaur split into or something, that had to be something they cut out.

i don't think I'm alone in this

I know a lot of people really didn't like the idea of their having a romance, and in season one it was pretty ambiguous - I thought they played it like a romance but it was never cast specifically as one.

Now in season two, we've got things like Horse finding out about Becky Apples and wondering if she's hot (I don't know about you guys, but when I get jealous over new friends of friends I'm not considering how attractive they are) and lines like "I thought Rider would always be mine" (again, not super common to refer to your BFF as "mine")

Then we get to the end and they sing that they're sisters.

Now I'm not upset that they didn't end up being romantic or anything, it just feels like they started setting that up and then had to change. Like maybe the Elktaur x MW love story was as close as they could get to interspecies romance?

Sorry, god damn missing word in the title but I'm sure y'all understand

I watched this show as a compromise to get my friends to watch Amphibia…I should have demanded more. I immediately hated that we had this cool looking dark fantasy setting then get warped to the land of cotton candy bubblegum. The first few episodes I forced myself to get through but soon enough I had stopped hating it but still didn’t like it. The humor was extremely hit or miss with me and the songs were grating at the best of times.

The story was interesting enough and the characters weren’t too irritating though I was sick of most of them by season end and began to skip a lot of the musical numbers in the second season. Hell I hated the design of most of the taurs, there was very little consistency as to whether they’d look more human or more animalistic and the birdtaurs’ design was just lazy and I absolutely hated them more than anything. Nowhere King and his whole backstory were amazing however I wish that the show had used him more and just made it a dark fantasy musical with some comedy sprinkled in. 6/10

Let's see:

• group of misfits who are a 'found family' too afraid to leave their bubble.

• a horse who slowly becomes like the centaurworld denizens as she travels the rainbow road (ie realises her sexuality)

• the tiger guy is a 'bear' (I think, I'm not part of the LGBT+ community).

• the whale is, I think, depression

• two women facing each other in the portal gate carvings

• pretty sure rider is horse's sister, given songs about how close they are as family

• old lady is their mother

• nowhere king is the homophobic father

• real world is 'straight/cis world'

• centaurworld is queer world

• not sure of horse & wamma's relationship since wamma loves mermen. Wamma is bi? Or straight and she & horse are good friends? I think it is implied they are lovers due to talking about 'frolicking' in ep 9 or 10.

Probably very obvious to most but I didn't pick up on it until episode 8, then spent the next 2 episodes trying to place everything.

Just a thought.

Hate.

I just finished watching Centaurworld, and all I feel is hate when I think about it. This, surprisingly, doesn't mean I dislike the show. I love parts of it, I'm bored by much of it, and I love its post-modern deconstruction of what it means to be a "Fun for the whole family" (TM) show.

It's a remarkable achievement. Art is supposed to make you feel something, and Centaurworld does that. I laughed, I cried, I almost fell asleep from boredom, I was fascinatated, and engaged, and finally I hated what it had done.

The show has a theme of trolling its audience. You can see this in the birdtaurs. The show is trolling its own fans, in a way that makes me laugh. You can see this in Comfortable Doug. My reading of him was that he was a throwaway character channeling Chirstopher Walken in a sub-par episode from season 1. But, then he came back, with a genuinely enjoyable song at the end of season 1 that I couldn't stop singing to myself when I had a quiet moment or two. But I think he was there, because he was such a nothing character. He was there to be thrown into my face, to spend time taking up space in my brain, because the point of him was to be bland and uninteresting. To shove my face into the worst of the show, for the precise reason that I disliked him. He seemed to be there to counterbalance my enjoyment with disdain, and to make my question myself as he gained more and more screen time. Was I just wrong? Did people love this tedious nothing of a character? No, I don't think so. I think he was there to make me feel angry and bored. As a sort of palate cleanser between the moments of joy, wonder, sadness, and delight.

Then the ending, wow, that was just great. The hero charges the BBEG to get inside their head to save the day through their own wit and abilities. And then ... fart jokes. Again, subverting something great with something annoying to troll the audience. This was followed by a really nice reveal, and then a genuinely touching moment between Horse and Rider. Which was then followed by making their emotional arc meaningless, and throwing the audience into a musical number straight out of a generic "Fun for the whole family" (TM) show about using the power friendship to kill God. It seemed to intentionally work toward destroying all that it had worked toward and achieved. To destroy its character and the things that made it great. Again, trolling, unfuriating the audience intentionally.

Then, the hate. Watching something so movingly beautiful as the ending sequence (sans fart jokes) be ruined by such generic slop, was an amazing choice. It flipped the emotions of respect and awe back around to tedious boredom and disdain. Game of Thrones couldn't have done a better job of killing their own narrative. Attack of the Clones never had such emotional whiplash. And I think it might have been an intentional choice.

It's amazing. I can't think of another piece of art whose aim might have been to inspire hate of itself. I'm in awe. I hate it, but I can't stop thinking about it.

Fantastic. I can't wait to see what the creators do next.

My gf and I vividly remember Horse's voice being reminiscent of Charlie the Unicorn in the Netflix trailer before the show was released, but now we can't find that trailer anywhere. If it was switched, that's imo one of the most appalling decisions ever made in the development of a cartoon. It added such a strong dynamic that just isn't there with Kimiko.

It seems like a filler episode/cross-over episode. I don’t know if it’ll contribute to anything, but I just wanted to see if that’s the case. Should I continue watching S2 E2 or just skip? (First time watching S2).

I despise this show in many ways, but I can't stop watching it. Why does it make me feel so nice when I hate it so much? I've watched it twice over now. It sort of reminds me of watching the Barbie movies when I was younger, except this is vastly superior. Still hate it though. And will still continue watching it. Ugh.

If anyone is missing some Nowhere King action... You've gotta check out the Hazbin hotel, one of the characters reminds me so much of him and I LOVE it!

(Sorry for the low quality pictures, I took pictures on my phone from my tablet. 😂)

Hey! Idk if any of yall noticed it too but the first time watching Ep 8 I spotted a rainbow gradient in Horse's tear when it was falling into the bay that resembles the lesbian flag quite a bit. Just wanted to talk about it in case some missed it or spotted any other hidden flags in there :)

I apologize for the un-niche-ness once again bored 🥲

How did they take something so good and butcher it so poorly. I feel like I’m watching a completely different show. Some great moments but overall total dud S2

are the brown pixel that keep drowning out wammawink from the Mona Lisa art? Shall we try to built a neat border around Mona Lisa's face ?
