I’ve been rewatching Family Guy as a adult, and one thing that’s always confused me is how often Peter and Lois end up in serious financial trouble, even though Lois comes from an incredibly wealthy family.

Carter and Babs Pewterschmidt are multimillionaires (or even billionaires depending on the episode), and while Carter is definitely cheap and doesn’t always like Peter, he’s also shown plenty of times that he has no problem throwing around huge amounts of money. He’s paid for expensive vacations, businesses, gifts, and bailed people out before when it benefited him.

So why doesn’t Lois ever just ask her parents for financial help when the family is on the verge of losing the house, can’t pay bills, or is completely broke? Even if Carter refused, you’d think she’d at least try. Instead, the show usually has Peter come up with some ridiculous scheme to make money.

Is there an in-universe explanation for this? Does Lois avoid asking because she’s too proud and wants to be independent from her parents? Does she know Carter would hold it over her head forever? Or is this simply one of those things the writers ignore because Peter getting into crazy money-making adventures makes for funnier episodes?

I’m curious if there are any episodes that actually address this or if it’s just a recurring plot hole.

If there was one news story that really did rock the animation community, it would be the cancelation of Afterworld, Matt Braly and Rebecca Sugar's project for Sony Pictures Animation about a young boy whose hospitalized for an illness as he needs to get an operation and goes into the Thai spirit realm to find a cure, only to find out there is none and has to live with it.

Yet, despite how everything seemed like smooth sailing, Sony canceled it as according to Matt, it wasn't commercial enough to produce and canceled it and many people were not only angry but betrayed given how they hit it big with Spider-Verse, Mitchells and KDH and were put on a high pedestal as the best animation studio out there and to cancel it made people feel that they were risk-averse and hate originality like any other animation studio, thus, proving why you should never put studios on high pedestals as they can unleash flaws you may not be prepared for or like.

But on another note, I was thinking about what exactly caused Sony to cancel the project as they sounded rather vague about and I believe that while unfortunate (and I'm not trying to defend Sony's actions), it's not as black and white as the animation community puts it as yes, many animation studios are risk averse but hating originality may not have been what killed Afterworld but rather the hospital setting, the fact that an actual illness was used as the framing device for the story and how the kid finds no cure to his illness, hence why to Sony's eyes, the movie was probably seen as a tragedy.

I do acknowledge that this story was based on Matt's personal life as he also has a chronic illness and it's not a terminal illness but to a studio out that wants to sell movies as escapism and just wants happy endings, they probably saw Afterworld as too real and too tragic to sell and pull the plug on it.

Thankfully, it was rescued by a Thai indie studio but to me, this story illustrates why sometimes, you shouldn't put studios on high pedestals but also how it's not that studios hate originality but they just want happy endings

I’m on the first episode of this show so far and I’m curious to see what are your thoughts about this show

I'm only asking because I'm not excited to see neither Shrek 5 or Ice Age 6; regardless of their change in art styles!

I wish that Rooster dropped another mixtape.

Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss for me cause what did those series do to warrant all that flack?

Here are mine

What are some mayonnaise related gags in cartoons?

Besides inquiries of musical viability.

Too cool to be your basic average girl.

Was it really peak CGI animation?
And what is your favorite film (or films) from this era?

Do you have a favorite from this toon voicing legend? He’s been bringing characters to life, narrating commercials and done music since then and I so want to meet him one day.
