>and watches bullshit like adventure time
Get out.

Throw away his TV and tell your mom to cook him a proper meal.

Adventure Time is great.

>>3189681
I don't have the authority to throw away the TV. Our mum doesn't really listen to me about healthy eating.

Hey, don't diss Adventure Time! Not cool.

But to answer your question, you can't really force it, doing so will only make it worse. I mostly watched cartoons at his age too, expect most kids would. Does he read any books at all? As in non-fiction. The thing is to help teach him the pleasure of reading in general, not what to read. That will come naturally.

Too late, he is already corrupted and enslaved by the media.

The only solution is sensory deprivation by taking T.V and vidya and bad food away from him, but his withdrawal like symptoms will make social services knock the fuck down your door and force you to give him all the shit he wants. That, or he'll turn into an MTV punk who hates his parents and does drugs because life is unbelievable cruel.

You have shitty parents and you come from a badly bred background.

Way to go fuck-o.

It is a shame in this day and age when children are becoming are downfall. Diet and education are last when it comes to priorities. Get the kid out of the house.

I really didn't start to enjoy reading until late in my teens. Always was a chore for me, now i can't read enough. I believe it will come with time. If he doesn't realize it now he will in the future how much time was wasted when he could of been doing something productive

>tfw this describes my little brother almost exactly, even the Adventure Time part

But he's thirteen..

It doesn't happen, they just won't read books.

>>3189704
In the future it'll be too fucking late. I want him to pass the entrance exams for the good local school, which I failed to get into. The test is when he's 11, he has to prepare for the exam and interview now.

>>3189687
Cook for your sibling. If you don't know how to cook, learn. If it matters that much to you this won't be a problem.
The TV's on you. Convince your mom to get rid of it/ move it to her room, make TV seem uncool, bribe him with money.

Hope he grows out of it.

Find out what subject he is interested in and read to him. have him switch off pages with you. Get him involved in a book he would actually enjoy. I know when it is a subject i don't care much about i won't read

>>3189715
>which I failed to get into
Living through little bro, huh?

Peak his interest, even if it is comic books

Have him watch Gravity Falls. The subtext, foreshadowing and the three-dimensional characters of Mabel and Dipper will get his thinkin' gears churnin'

>>3189727
I read The Life of Pi to my little brother which helped a lot because if he didn't get a word or concept or reference I could explain it

>>3189730
We have 3 TVs in the house mounted on walls, I can't get rid of any of them or make him avoid them

I don't have time to make his packed lunch or dinner

>>3189736
I guess I am. I just don't want him to end up in the shitty school I had to go to, also most of them apply to Oxford and Cambridge and have a higher chance of getting in. If he doesn't get prepared now he'll lose his chance at having the best education and start in life you can get.

Whereas I'm 19 and failed exams, now I'm trying to get into any uni that will take me

>>3189738
>>3189742
Thanks for the suggestions

>>3189745
>I just don't want him to end up in the shitty school I had to go to, also most of them apply to Oxford and Cambridge and have a higher chance of getting in.
I took my A-levels at the local college and still had a shot at Oxbridge, it really isn't that big a deal.

>>3189745
sorta related my family dining room has a tv on the wall and it fucking annoys me because people put it on during dinner and not to watch but just to substitute silence. If I do end up living alone (and not with my partner) I'm not even buying a TV.

>>3189745

No problem

>>3189749
Yes it is if you live in my area. I went to the same school as skepta and JME. I was friends with their little brother.

He will learn the shitty culture here and fall into the wrong crowd. And then that's it, he'll fail academically because he's distracted by all the things and people at the shitty school.

If he's a good Adventure Time fan he overthinks every tiny detail and makes crazy theories, if he's a shitty fan he likes shipping the characters and going "Mathamatical!" If he's number one then chill out, number two beat his ass.

Adventure Time is fucking terrible. All of my friends like it, but we're 20. I hate it in secrecy. It's hard to find anyone who agrees with me.

>>3189777
I watched season one of it and what I've noticed is that it sends my boyfriend straight to sleep

Rudely awoken by the credit card after the shilled out ending song where it just makes this hellish grinding sound.

I don't think I could get through any more of it

>>3189777

Why do you hate it?

>>3189760
>things are so hard for us rich folk in London
I'm from a London overflow council estate, I'm still telling you it makes no difference.

>>3189791
It's not 'hard', he'll just turn into one of those idiots.

You got lucky. Significantly more people come out of those schools not interested in education.

>>3189671
>>3189711
I know that feel.
My little brother is the same way.
I'm guessing your parents basically coddled him out of some weird spite for you?
Mine know they messed him up, but are to pathetic to try and fix what they started, they don't want to hear him bitch and moan.
Then they have the audacity to blame his grades, weight, and attitude on me, an exemplary student who's got weight problems of being to skinny and pride myself on being polite and open.
They ask me to help them out with his problems, but every time I try to do anything about it, he whines and they yell at me because I'm not the parent, they are.
So I've decided to do everything I can from helping, seeing as every time I try I become a villain, and just wait for life to come and teach them a lesson they should have learned long ago and won't be able to recover from.
>I really don't like my family.

>>3189738
Can you tell me what subtext and foreshadowing there have been? I don't think there's been any beside the time traveler.

>>3189777

I saw a couple of episodes and thought it was alright but after watching more I realised the the episodes just blend together with no real variety, and in turn found it a bit boring. I suppose it qualifies as good for what it is; a charming cartoon which is sure to appeal to a demographic of people who get the geeky culture it proudly displays.

Plus it's made for people with short attention spans. I bet /v/ loves it.

>>3189794
>You got lucky.
I guess I was very lucky to live on an estate where you had to worry about idiots stabbing you or trying to burn your house or whatever. And went to a college that was an hours walk away. "The right school" is lazy rich people problems.

>>3189808
>I bet /v/ loves it
/v/ wants nothing to do with it, they're convinced every decent, colorful cartoon is MLP. And AT is pretty good at worldbuilding and lore and stuff like that.

>>3189813
You're deliberately misunderstanding what I meant by 'lucky'. You got lucky in the fact that you didn't get sucked into that lifestyle/culture, and came out as the person that you are. You are significantly less likely to want to even take a shot at oxbridge.

>>3189802

Stan's hat, Gideon (Hint: In HtRTM, he was controlling pretty much everyone around him but he only had a partial grip on Mabel, hence her hesitant but nonetheless acquiescent treatment of his proposals), further references to time travel, and that's all I can think of at the moment

>>3189818
>You are significantly less likely to want to even take a shot at oxbridge.
What the hell? Yes, living somewhere horrible realy encouraged me to not want to live somewhere nice. The fact you call it a "lifestyle" just shows how little you understand of this. Middle class rationalisation if ever there was.

>>3189808

You can't have been watching it with any real focus; even before the characterization heavy-episodes, it's not as homogenized as you're implying.

>>3189777
I'll agree with you.
I despise that show and what it stands for.
It's basically been designed to have a huge appeal to the meme crowd.
Somewhat of a new invader zim, it's fanbase just loves the fact that its so "rand0m!!!1111 lol" but it's even worse than invader zim in that it attracts the type of people who get off on being called "smart" and "special" and will charge you with treason if you so much as tarnish their giant "rand0m" idol.
>Every time someone shouts "science" I grind my teeth a bit.

>>3189826
He means you're lucky you aren't a gangbanger shooting heroin with hookers in an abandoned warehouse, which happens much more frequently in the "scarier side of town" than up in Oxbridge.

>>3189825
So the Illuminati stuff and Time Traveler guy? Wait, is this stuff from the second Gideon episode? I've yet to see that one.

>>3189826
One more time. You are surrounded by a culture that glorifies not working, gang activities, stabbing, stupid slang and music, yes? Do you see state school kids, how many of them are interested in education? Significantly less than public school kids right? There you fucking go, you're lucky to have not come out as a pseudo-gangster abortion who is into grime music and with a criminal record.

I went to a state school surrounded by stuff like that, and it's only recently that my parents have had money, I'm not fucking middle class and I know what I'm talking about. I live in enfield, near Tottenham.

>>3189790
It offers me nothing by way of entertainment or stimulation. It annoys me to look at and listen to. I don't care about the characters or "stories." However, I'm completely biased: I hate 90% of what's on television. Then again, I like Spongebob.


>>3189808
Sums it up pretty nicely, too.


Why do you like it?

>>3189831
Lol you're such a moron.

Adventure time is just boy (or a stoned manchild) version of Alice in Wonderland + Spongebob.

Learn not to be fucken stupid and terribly opinonated.

>>3189838
Well that depends, do you enjoy Spongebob after the movie? Your integrity as a poster hinges on this question.

>>3189846
Eh, it's more Fallout meets DnD meets Candyland. And chill out bro, that guy's allowed to have his opinion.

>>3189834
The second Giden episode wasn't terribly revelatory, though it hinted that Gideon will return yet again.

As for the Illuminati stuff, I'm thinking it, Stan's hat and the Time Traveler are related in some way, though they could all be standalone phenomena.

>>3189837
>implying anyone could afford a gentleman's drug like heroine
Shit's expensive. Also people do often take drugs at Uni.

>>3189831

Adventure Time isn't random at all and it contains multiple attempts at characterization, as well a consistent and eclectic post-apocalyptic subtext.

I'll never understand how people can look at something as meticulously calculated as an animation and call it random. Spontaneous? Perhaps but that's not even the root of its humor; such an observation is born not from an actual viewing of the animation but rather a reliance on commercials and word-of-mouth.

>>3189847
I saw it years ago when it came out. I liked it back then, though I don't know if I would like it as much today considering I like earlier Spongebob. The movie was kind of a turning point. But my appreciation of the series probably has to do with nostalgia more than anything else. Still, some of those early episodes were pretty strange (and cool).

>>3189851
Cool, thanks man. Also
>filename
Have faith friend, the hiatus has to end some day.

>>3189808
>Geeky culture.
Do you know what "geeky culture" has done to people who actually work in the sciences?
Most of the time I try to discuss biology or chemistry with someone who seems moderately intelligent, I get a conversation that goes like this;
Me: So, what do you think of increased protein aggregation in the brain as it ages, and what it means for longevity research?
Them: Do you science anon? ALL the science!

>>3189861
Fair enough man. The early episodes were very high quality alongside the movie, Band Geeks and Shanghaied continue to be some of my favorite moments from cartoons. I think Spongebob started to sink after the movie because of a writer shift of some sort.

>>3189865
>Me: So, what do you think of increased protein aggregation in the brain as it ages, and what it means for longevity research?
It is good, because the brain is a muscle so it will get swole.

>>3189847

>post-movie Spongebob

can anyone even into this?

>>3189862

No problem and don't worry, I've not given up.

I needed a break from that show anyway; I feel like I coddled Mabes to much. I miss her and that show now though, so I suppose it's working.

Does he at least like Regular Show?

To me Adventure Time's humor and characters got old pretty fast, but I found Regular Show to be pretty enjoyable. It's kind of weird, but it reminds me a lot of hanging out with my friends in middle/high school.

>>3189865
Man, I can imagine how you must feel about the Big Bang Theory.

*pause* *laugh track*


Must be pretty shitty

>>3189882

Regular Show is a fun watch but it's too formulaic and dispassionate to truly endure, I think

NO ONE ASKED ME THOUGH

>>3189671
>Hey /lit/, my brother is having fun, can you help me put a stop to that?


What the fuck do you read now that he could read and learn from at age seven? Just make sure that he literally can read and show him good stuff when he's older.

And cook him food, you bitch. You're old enough to do it.

>>3189882
Yeah he watches the regular show

And johnny fucking test x_x

>>3189860
Sorry for committing treason, you're so much smarter than me.
I'll bet you don't even have to study for tests because you just naturally get good grades, because you're just that smart.
Tell me more about how by never giving characters a full backstory, they become so deep and not one dimensional.
I can't believe that you have looked at this seemingly childish show with so much detail, you really are special to suggest that their are dark themes which are present, but only if you look at it with your eyes crossed.

>>3189892
The thing is I'm kinda like OP, I have a little brother who's in middle school actually and I do cook him meals

The problem is he sneaks food or something cause I see he's eaten an entire Kraft Cheesey Pasta box and that shit's 1000 calories on its own

If they want to eat shit they will

>>3189882
I kinda agree with this >>3189886 guy, RS is good but has been stale for a while in my opinion. It's really weird though because I think it needs to switch things up but I have no idea how they could do that without destroying the show. At least Adventure Time's actually evolved somewhat in the two+ years it's been on. Just my 2cents.

Dude, just leave the kid alone. It's just a kid. Stop being so controlling and projecting yourself onto a child.

Except the diet, get him some good food. Learn how to cook and cook delicious, healthy meals.

>>3189889
>Johnny Test
Anon, if you have ay sense of humanity you'll crack his skull open and put an end to his pitiful existence.

>>3189889
Johnny Test is the scourge of the earth. Divert his attention to another channel whenever you see him watching it.

>Hey Anon! Don't change the channel!
>I just want to see what else is on. Hey this movie/show is on.
>brother enjoys show and forgets about Johnny Test.

>>3189890

Ah, I've wounded you! I will relent.

>Tell me more about how by never giving characters a full backstory, they become so deep and not one dimensional.

Because even though they're not given a "full" backstory, you still learn a lot about the characters and certainly enough to understand them. Marceline and Ice King get the brunt of development and as miniscule as that seems, it still translates to those characters having some substantive depth. The recent "I Remember You" even manages to, very poignantly I might add, unite them in their (partially; Ice King is almost completely oblivious until the end and even then he's still too busy drumming to truly feel anything) recollection of the past.

And yeah, I actually don't study for tests much. Still get them grades though.

>>3189901
So having a healthy diet and body is ok to force on him, but not a healthy mind?

>>3189892
I used to read a lot of things at starting from age 6, mostly adventure and sci fi stuff, Enid Blyton and stuff like that. There were no pictures in the books.

He's different though

You can't change people, it will be like this still when you're both adults.

Also, >>>/adv/ is thataway.

>>3189913
He's seven. He can watch cartoons. He can watch shitty cartoons. He can not read.

He will grow out of it, and if he doesn't, it's not your place to intrude. At the most, you can try to keep him out of that culture you don't like.

Grow up.

>>3189917
Dude, he's *seven*

>>3189890
>studying for tests
ha

>watching TV

People still do this? I got rid of cable a long time ago. I have my PC hooked up to my TV and only use it to watch films.

>>3189890
>Tell me more about how by never giving characters a full backstory
What shit do you read where characters have full backstories? It sounds more like DnD, or really bad amateur writing.

>>3189890
Bro, I'm not that guy but it's very clear that nuclear war has happened in the show. And dude, animation can have mature shit, attitudes like yours is why cartoons are still seen as kiddy fare.

>>3189671
Ask him what he likes about Adventure Time, find a book that kind of matches that criteria and pitch it to him, not as a book, just tell him about a story.

If he bites, show him the book and offer to read the first chapter or so with him to try and hook him.

>>3189926
I use it to watch and support the things I like. Gotta keep those ratings up.

>>3189933
Gulliver's Travels if you go down this route.

>>3189750
One of the biggest rules for dinner time for my family was no phones and no tv. I cannot thank them enough for this.

>>3189926

There are good things on TV, believe it or not. Not everything on TV is worth watching but some stuff is; thus, we watch TV

>>3189910
>Ah, I've wounded you! I will relent.
Wow, you're so talented at literature, you can talk just like shakespeare. I'll bet you can quote hamlet from memory.

I really was wrong, you gave an example that is an entire episode long. Those Adventure Time writers sure must be invested in their characters, to make a whole episode that does nothing but imply things through a photograph and a vague letter. I don't know what they were implying, but that's because it's just so deep. I'm sure you understand it, because you're just naturally smart.

>>3189938
God, fucking this, and once he enjoys the basic story you can tell him about what it really means.

>>3189945
Ever episode helps with world building and learning the characters personalities and backstories, the episode that Anon pointed out was the one that was the most backstory heavy. I cannot speak on the Adventure Time writer's behalf but I think they care very much about the stories and characters they create.

>>3189932
You're right. I've just been some ignorant old man, while you young adults are the future of the world, which will never change until people like me learn to not judge things so much.
I was so wrong to think Adventure Time was immature, I was clearly wrong about it being a show spawned from reddit and designed to systematically produce memes.

>>3189932
Anime does a much better job of having a good story and mature things than american cartoons do. The vast majority of american cartoons, while entertaining, are episode by episode, and they don't help to lengthen attention spans.

>>3189945

>I'm sure you understand it, because you're just naturally smart.

You keep saying things like this and it sets you up for another pity party and fit of sarcasm. The truth is, I do understand what they were "implying" (read: screaming from the top of their lungs) about the photograph and letter.

Be like me and MLP: I fucking hate MLP but bronies know to step when we get to talking about it because I've watched both seasons of MLP and can explain why it sucks.

If you want to really talk shit about AT, try watching it.

>>3189965
Even if you aren't wrong, you're arguing like a cunt. You're not even arguing at this point, really, you're just crying a series of passive-aggressive statements and the only way that's affecting me, as a member of the peanut gallery, is that it's changing my opinion so that it's the opposite of yours.

Nice going.

>>3189935
You're so right about that!
Characters should never have any concrete details.
>And when everything is implied, but it still understand it, I feel smart.

>>3189671
>implying AT and Gumball are shit.
They're okay.

>>3189965
All I said was that nuclear war has occurred in the show, mainly because you said
>I can't believe that you have looked at this seemingly childish show with so much detail, you really are special to suggest that their are dark themes which are present, but only if you look at it with your eyes crossed."
Looking at the show makes it clear that you are wrong. The show is very wacky and childish yes, but it can be both wacky and mature at times. They don't shout "Algebraic" every second.

>>3189974
Now you know what it's like to argue with one of your kind.

>>3189985
Gumball is shit
AT is good, although it has the potential to be more.

>>3189971
Exactly what I mean, anime's seen as mature but cartoons aren't,and it's because of attitudes like that of the other poster. If people maybe don't treat every cartoon as kiddy bullshit, then hopefully one day there can be cartons as mature as certain anime are.

>>3189979
>your kind
lel.
seriously? stop.

>>3189989
Gumball's not really bad, but I'd say it misses more than it hits. Season 2 is a large improvement over Season 1.

>>3189978
>Wacky and mature.
Not at all angst filler and socially awkward, as if it was made to appeal to a certain group of people.

>>3189989

Gumball would have been great if they focused on Carrie, characterized her more and didn't fucking retcon her. Only truly good thing about that show

Figure out what he likes, give him good books that are like that.

For example, a kid who likes Adventure Time, I see no reason he shouldn't be able to dig into some Discworld books.

>>3189796
>They ask me to help them out with his problems, but every time I try to do anything about it, he whines and they yell at me because I'm not the parent, they are.
that feel man that fucking feel

>>3189990
Cartoon's aren't seen as mature because they aren't.
They were mature, but now they're more immature than ever.

>>3189976
You still haven't told us what you read broheim that exemplifies what you're talking about.
>inb4 you can't

>>3189993
>>3189995
The only good thing about Gumball is their use of different animation styles for different characters. Other than that it just annoys me. The dad is also the god damned "Hurr durr retard dad" trope that is tired.

>>3189990
That is one of the big reasons I like Avatar, not because it's a great show, but because it is helping break ground for more mature, story based shows in America.

>>3189994
It was made to appeal to people who like cartoons. And dude, you said there should be backstory but if it's angsty and awkward it doesn't count? That was the episode's intention.

>>3189998
Regular discworld novels will be above a seven year old's reading level easily.

>>3190005
And people with opinion's like yours are making damn well sure that they never get the opportunity to be. Also, did you miss Avatar? That was pretty recent.

>>3190012
I will heartily agree that Richard's the worst part of the show.

>>3190024
>Also, did you miss Avatar?
You mean Pocahontas in space>

So I'm not the only /co/mrade that exiled himself to /lit/?

OP, you can't force someone to like what you like, but if you show him that it's cool to read then he might pick it up.

>>3189671

I don't even have to read the thread to know the posts following the OP are faggot neckbeard manchildren defending Adventure Time.

>>3190034
Not that Avatar bub

>>3190034

>>3190011
What I read?
Alright, I'll go there.
But that means you have to bring what you read into the argument,
agreed?
>Aeschylus
>Bradbury (most of his short stories)
>Shelly
>Camus (Plague>the stranger)
>Alberts (molecular biology of the cell, 5th edition)
>Cummings.

Thats my list of recent authors.
Now you.
>If it was for school, it doesn't count.

>>3190042
Stop right there. Which ones give you the character's backstory? Reading comp man, get some.

>>3190036
Actually it's people having a relatively reasonable argument. Chill out dude, it's silly to get so upset by a cartoon.

>>3190024
No, I didn't miss it.
I'm very well aware of that "Anime" and it's sequel.
Grow up and watch something decent.

>>3190047
>"Anime"
>"lyl grw up XD"

>>3190047
But it's a cartoon. You see, it has an "anime" artstyle but it's as American as deep frying hamburgers.

>>3190041
That avatar just seemed like standard Saturday morning cartoon to me. Like a more refined version of He Man or Thundercats

>>3190047
Is that FMA but NOT Brotherhood?

Brotherhood all the way, rest of FMA can screw off.

>>3190047

You most certainly are the fuck not

>>3190046
>Aeschylus (Prometheus Bound)
>Bradbury (sometimes in his short stories, but at least he doesn't hint at it and nothing else like a kid yelling "I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU")
>Shelly (the modern Prometheus)
>Camus (The Plague)

>>3190054
Deep frying everything's a scottish thing

>>3190055

A tremendously refined He-Man with excellent characterization, excellent animation and a sweet finale

>>3190063
Sorry, we stole it. No give backs.

>>3190060
Dood, that's SAC

>>3190055
It was pretty good. Plot driven and non episodic, which seems to be the most common complaints against toons.

>>3190059
>Aeschylus (Prometheus Bound)
Nope, no Greek play is going to give you detailed backstory.
>Bradbury (sometimes in his short stories, but at least he doesn't hint at it and nothing else like a kid yelling "I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU")
I have no idea, I don't readd pulp.
>Shelly (the modern Prometheus)
Nope, it's pretty vague and skips over stuff all the times.
>Camus (The Plague)
Nope.

>>3190066
Ever had a deep fried and battered pizza?

>>3190053
>Keep calm and blank.
Mind the gap.

>>3190054
Thats why I put "Anime" in "Quotation marks",
>Implying I was saying it sarcastically.
The american part of it is the worst one.
>It's all american.
I know.

>>3190071
Sounds frightening.

>>3190078
What's frightening is the criminal activity in fish and chip shops these days. Just recently a haddock was assaulted and battered

>>3190072
But the writing was the best part, the artstyle and animation was a compliment to the story. What, you care about flashy visuals but not "depth"?

>>3190070
Prometheus Bound IS the backstory.
It's part of a trilogy.

>Shelly (the modern Prometheus)
>Nope, it's pretty vague and skips over stuff all the times.
Imagine how vague it would be if everything was
>Implied.

>>3190081
My condolences to the haddock.

>>3190099

>>3190094

So it seems you have decent taste in anime

but Avatar is pretty great with its writing, at least in terms of characterization

Toph and Zuko are particularly well-written characters in a show full of well-written characters so...

I was not ripping on Ghost in the Shell, rather the fact that you think the visuals are the best part of Avatar. For someone who has such a love of backstory I woulda figured you'd like all that 100 Year War guff.

all the other characters were charming but super-bland

I'm so glad I watched LoK without /co/ and tumblr's episode by episode hate-fests. Korra is a very good show with a few sour points, namely >dat ending Avatards are a terrible fanbase.
