Why does everybody hate this show now?!

In 2007 to 2011, people loved this show and thought that it was the funniest cartoon on TV. But by 2012, people started to resent it, and outright despise it.

Almost everywhere I go, I see that people call this show repetitive, and comment on the show's art-style, and criticise it. And call the characters unlikeable.

Just why?! Why has everybody gone from loving it to hating it to a heartbeat?! An example is: When people mention the good modern cartoons, they instantly go out of their way to avoid mentioning this. Heck, even Olivia Olson gets more recognised as Marceline than Vanessa because people refuse to acknowledge her Vanessa role.

And another criticism is with the songs every episode.

This show has jumped on board with Taylor Swift, Adam Sandler and Pixar in which it got praise at first, but then everybody began to outright despise it.

They need to spice things up and stop putting random songs in every episode.

"So now I guess she's on crack."

FIM has alot of songs yet that show always gets a free pass. This show is the Taylor Swift of animation and everybody hates it now.

Because FIM isn't the same story line every episode...

And I love how the same people that complain about the songs aren't aware of the executives asking Dan and Swampy to put songs in every episode.
Well you criticised the SONGS proving you're just looking for an aspect of the show to hate about it. This show suffered the same as Taylor Swift, loved and praised for the five years they were out, now they're COMPLETELY hated.

People DIDN'T even complain about the formula until Benthelooney brought it up in his Gravity Falls salute. (And that show IS only popular because it's not Phineas and Ferb. Don't believe me? Why does EVERY fan of that show hate Phineas and Ferb?!)

I need to accept that artists switch genres. It happens. But I don't understand why Swift changed from country to pop the minute her popularity increased. I doubt she was even thinking of crossing over.

Phineas and Ferb's formula has been acknowledged several times in the past, and Povenmire and Swampy have played with it to troll fans. They know the show is formulaic and make fun of it. Whoever said that has no argument.

I know what oldfamilyguy1993 means. It just merely seems like an excuse to hate on the show and the evidence of that being is, people only complained about the songs this year and FIM has songs in many episodes too and more than half of the people that complain about the musical numbers in this show are bronies.

I still love it and from my perspective that is all that is important to me. If you like it or hate, then that is your prerogative.

I am a four eyed evil genius.

It's not the GREATEST cartoon ever, but at least it's energetic and creative compared to all the *beep* lifeless sitcoms that Disney Channel has been *beep* out for the past few years.

You know, originally that was all I was gonna say about those *beep* sitcoms but *beep* THOSE SHOWS! IF YOU ARE WILLING TO SUBMIT YOUR TIME AND MONEY INTO THOSE SHOWS THEN BY GOD! GET A LIFE! THOSE SHOWS ARE JUST GONNA MAKE YOU DUMBER! STOP WATCHING! DO SOMETHING ELSE! GO GET LAID!

Now that I got that out of my system, I feel much better.
