To be honest, Metalocalypse started getting worse the longer the episodes got. In the first season, they worked well because they were short and the plot for them were simple. Now they kinda just drag on.

Gotta say if they replace this stuff with more shows that are as good as Rick and Morty that'd be fine.
Metalocalpyse was great until they went to full length episodes.
Metalocypse is dead. Scrambles the death dealing murdercane lives on.

I liked the first couple of seasons, but then it kind of just started to drag on as a series, and the plots become more and more uninteresting. The excessive constant gore and freaking out over everything just became bland when it's all they ever did. Like, there was no variety, just crazy shit happening all the time without reason. Like getting too used to a really hot spice, you just become immune eventually, but they never changed it up.
I'd easily change out Squidbillies for Metalocalypse any day. That show is garbage and I hope it at least gets canned next.

Brutal.
I felt like I had to start taking notes with how quickly they threw information at me in the later seasons.

The art was shit, the jokes were shit, the characters were shit, the writing was shit, there are literally no redeeming qualities about that show. I would rather watch a live-stream of crazy cat ladies scooping litter than see another episode of that shit.

You're meant to see just how shitty life can be.
Shit. Just give us a little more, I really don't want it to be hamburger time.
are adult swim intent on killing off every show i like or what?
Pity, i loved the show and genuinely enjoy the music. Hopefully the group still makes other music stuff together after this.
I never really could get into Metalocalypse because it really feels to me as if they took the lazy humor route of "Hahaha, *metal reference* right guys? Haha!" most of the time. That being said, I don't find it to be bad, it genuinely feels like it's made by metalheads because it IS. I hope the finale is decent and ends the show nicely.

So I'd say its a reflection of being in that state of mind.

A majority of them don't even watch more than a few seconds of it before passing it off as hick trash.
Well fuck. They're cancelling some great shows. First ATHF, now Metalocalypse. I really fucking hope we get a season 6 of Venture Bros (or more, if they decide not to cancel their best show besides Rick and Morty). It would be such fucking bullshit to end such a great series on a note like that. Stop fucking running American Dad and the Cleveland Show, keep making more Metalocalypse, continue Venture Bros, c'man.

You can't make those assumptions based on a few seconds of garbage animation alone. [editline]27th August 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=LoLWaT?;48550473]It's had some genius moments in the past. A lof it comes off as random trash but when you read between the lines to the point they're trying to make in an episode, [I]occasionally[/I] it's comedy gold. I'm pretty sure they'd written themselves an actual plot connecting the squids, the town and its people (and why they're there), and Dan Halen too by the way. It's been a while since I've seen an episode but they're all very connected.[/QUOTE] The only part I found close to funny was the episode where the town was under siege by a corrosive cologne cloud, the Sheriff tried to stop it, the wind changed directions so his efforts were meaningless anyways and the father squid said "Wellp, crisis averted. Our collective asses are saved". So I guess one out of *however many episodes this horse has been beaten to produce* ain't bad.
This sucks, really bad, but this isn't anything new. The article the OP linked to is five months old.
This news is dildos.
This news is dated and has been for a while. There was even a petition to bring it back that is still up [URL="https://www.change.org/p/adultswim-give-the-final-chapter-of-metalocalypse-the-respect-it-deserves"]here[/URL]
