Yeahhhh or that tord doesn’t want to be involved with the series anymore. On one hand, edd wanted the series to continue after his passing, so I’m grateful fans are still engaging with it, and Matt is keeping it going, but on the other hand it feels weird that we’re still making stories with someone who’s been dead for 14 years. Plus Tom is no longer involved, and makes me feel off that his own character, based on him, is no longer voiced, written, or has any involvement with him.
I’m still grateful Matt is keeping it alive, but it’s sad to see it devolve to a shell of its former self, with the majority of the original crew, writers and animators gone.
Oh my god literally a day ago. No idea about it. Curious to see if they try to keep going, especially without any of the original team. It’s been over 23 years since it started, I feel like most of the audience has just grown up out of it to keep the same humour and style going. I still check in from time to time cause I loved it, I plan to binge the eddsworld beyond eddisodes, but the gags don’t hit like they used to, and can’t relate to it as much either.
From what I remember he wanted to do other things, and in part move on with his life. I think the response from some of the fans drifted him further. Been years since I read up on it though
It’s sort of how the sausage gets made brother. People find stories and characters they love and then, like a five year-old playing with toys, they imagine those characters in different situations. Same with art, many people start out learning how to make lines by tracing art they love.
Of course, before the Internet all this “shamefully amateurish” stuff was in the rubbish bin, but once you know what it is, future artist taking their first steps, you kind of learn to love it.
it’s less “shamefully amateurish” to me and more “macabre” to ascribe fake personality traits to real people, one of who is relatively recently deceased, and post it under the name of the show those people did so they can all see their dead friend being puppeted around.
Maybe it’s because we live in era where Drake can shove a hand up a digitally recreated Tupac’s ass, but I’m just not seeing it. But I’m just a random Internet stranger with an opinion YMMV

I had no idea what any of this was, so I had to look it up. Apparently Matt is no longer with the project as of a few days ago.

Why doesn’t Tord want to be involved?

Fair enough, thanks for the response
it’s mostly the fanworks i’m weirded out by honestly, since the friends and family are kinda carrying out his will
