Multiverse and Friends (season 19-present)

Multiverse and Friends is a 2020 American-Canadian show created by Fred Dungles and distributed by Warner Bros. The show is based on the video game Multiverse. Created to rival The Simpsons and Family Guy, it became more of its own thing. Like Teen Titans Go!, the show takes a more comedic approach to the Multiverse franchise and makes it an adult animated sitcom with various franchises, including the ones for kids. While the first eight seasons and seasons 14-16 were well-received, seasons 9-12 being universally panned and seasons 13, 17 and 18 receiving mixed-to-positive reception, the show later took another big nosedive in quality since season 19 and it's currently universally panned and this decline is also regarded as one of the worst examples of seasonal rot and flanderization. Only time will tell if this show goes back to its former glory, if at all.

Pre-Vacation and Post-Vacation Eras (Seasons 1-10, 13-present)
The show revolves around the characters from various IPs doing wacky and random stuff while also living in a house and they enjoy staying with each other.

Why It Doesn't Have Friends Anymore
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
 * 1) Much like seasons 9-12 of the show but probably worse, the core problem with these seasons is that they lack the charm and cleverness of the first 8 seasons, seasons 14-16, and to some extent, 13, 17, and even 18. In one of the biggest examples of negative-180s in television, the writing was downgraded again from funny, clever, amazing, unique, serious, awesome to absolutely atrocious, catastrophic, lame, nonsensical, indolent, stale, repetitive, inconsistent, lackluster, and so on, almost to the point of irredeemability. The worst part is that the budget became bigger than seasons 9-12, as it is 50 million dollars and there are 130 writers in the show, which are extremely impressive for a show, and yet they managed to screw up easily. The worst part is that, unlike other shows that went downhill due to the writers barely having any experience, the show still has the same writers but they were pressured by Warner Bros. due to them treating the show as a cash cow along with The Crazy-Ass Group Show: The Series, Television Presentation.
 * 2) Speaking of atrocious writing, it is also incredibly lazy, as it constantly recycles plots from earlier seasons, or from other shows and movies, and even from the The Crazy-Ass Group Show. This is because the writers ran out of ideas, something that even Dorn Aduls confessed, as he told that everyone in the staff barely had any new ideas, especially since they suckered it to the ground. The worst part is that despite running out of ideas, Warner Bros. Discovery still pressured them to write the episodes, due to them treating the show as a huge cash cow. They also botch good ideas, wasting their potentials (as explained in pointer #(When the page will be done)). There are various examples
 * 3) * Anne's Birthday is a rehash of season 9's Friends Day, since both episodes revolve around a party or a special event for them that got botched due to some of the characters being incredibly unlikeable. The worst part is that the latter episode is no better and was even responsible for the first downfall of the show.
 * 4) * Back in Texas is a rip-off and a reverse plot of Family Guy 's best episode Road to Rhode Island, since the latter is about Brian and Stewie trying to return to Rhode Island, while the former is the crew going to Texas.
 * 5) * Weiss & Blake's Private Conversation (while good) is a rip-off of Family Guy's episode Brian & Stewie, since both episodes are about both duos trying to escape in a place where they are stuck and stay there for a night while trying to not breaking down their friendship apart, with the only difference being that Brian and Stewie were stuck in a bank, while Weiss and Blake were stuck in a basement, due to them being kidnapped by a criminal.
 * 6) Most of the characters are heavily flanderized and are even worse than in seasons 9-12.
 * 7) *Anne Boonchuy (Amphibia) suffers from the absolute worst flanderization of the entire show and possibly one of the worst flanderizations of all time, as she went from a girl who was initially rebellious and self-centered but later getting massive character development that made her incredibly likable into an abusive, malicious, idiotic, bratty, short-tempered, gullible, egotistical, selfish, rude, moronic and cruel jerk who causes a lot of misery to the people close to her and never cares about her best friends (in one episode, she even said if she would be asked to sacrifice Sasha and Marcy for fun, she would have accepted it) and is no different than Peter Griffin's flanderization. In addition, she became more of an alcoholic person who would often drink beer (even when driving) and often insults the crew whenever she gets drunk.
 * 8) **She also started an unhealthy obsession towards airbags, which was used to reference the aforementioned infamous airbag fetish community, similar to season 14. But the difference is that while season 14 still had fun moments jabbing said community, this Anne's obsession comes off as really creepy at best.
 * 9) ***In one episode (albeit when she was drunk), she was thinking of having sex with an airbag. No joke.
 * 10) *Marcy Wu (Amphibia) also suffers from the absolute worst flanderization of the entire show and one of the worst flanderizations of all time, as she went from an oblivious yet smart, geeky, and friendly girl to a dominatrix wannabe, cruel, moronic, psychopath, and a dominant girl who has absolutely no care for anyone and often treats Anne and Sasha like absolute trash. Granted, they weren't much better than her, but the way she treats them is worse than Anne's treatment. She's also dominant on various people, most notably Sprig, Polly, and Hop Pop.
 * 11) *Sasha Waybright (Amphibia) went from one of the greatest examples of character development along with Anne to a pretentious, self-absorbed, egotistical, selfish girl who often sacrifices everyone for her own benefit, even if it means hurting loved ones.
 * 12) *Even though she was flanderized in season 17, Luz Noceda (The Owl House) became even worse since season 19, as she became even more selfish and more egotistical than before, and she's also absolutely moronic.
 * 13) *Much like Luz, despite being flanderized in season 17, Amity Blight also became worse since season 19
 * 14) *They've added more anime characters besides Popuko and Pipimi, and many of them are badly flanderized.
 * 15) **This show's equivalent to the "Hated 8", the "Anime Annoyances", had all of its members be nothing like their original counterparts.
 * 16) *Speaking of Popuko and Pipimi (Pop Team Epic), they have been flanderized:
 * 17) **Popuko is portrayed as an extremely destructive, rude, and perverted girl that will bash on anyone that isn’t Japanese.
 * 18) **Pipimi went from a calm & mature friend to a drug dealing plastic mean idiot because for some reason the writers wanted to make their own Regina George, but even then, Regina feels more well written than Pipimi.
 * 19) *Peter Griffin (Family Guy), while not as bad as his flanderized counterpart from his original show, is still incredibly heavy, as he became just a brainless manchild who causes misery around people without knowing what he's doing and constantly forgets what his friends tell him.
 * 20) *The Team RWBY (RWBY) have been badly butchered as well, albeit Weiss Schnee and Blake Belladonna didn't suffer from too much decline.
 * 21) **Ruby Rose went from an optimistic and friendly protector who aspires to be a great hero, to a complete butt-monkey who often gets tormented for no reason at all and is incredibly unlucky in various things, which was done for the sake of laughs, similar to Lincoln Loud from seasons 4 and 5 of The Loud House and King from seasons 9-11 of this show. She also became one of the worst examples of a Mary Sue, as she's often described as "perfect" with little-to-no flaws, and also acts like a huge jerk in front of everyone.
 * 22) **Yang Xiao Ling went from a smothering, nosey yet feisty, cheerful and competitive who's overall optimistic and perky, who's incredibly caring to her half sister Ruby to a a depressed and malicious girl who constantly torments Ruby for no reason at all and causes a lot of misery to her. In addition, despite maliciously tormenting Ruby, she's overly dominant on her life.
 * 23) **Blake Belladonna went from a righteous person
 * 24) **Weiss Schnee
 * 25) Much like the current seasons of The Loud House, the show doesn't know how to handle its focus on the characters anymore.
 * 26) *One of the main complaints is that there are way too many episodes focusing on the characters of Amphibia (more specifically Anne, Marcy, and Sasha) and The Owl House, to the point that sometimes, other characters outright disappear in certain episodes. Unlike The Loud House with Lincoln, which makes sense that he's getting many episodes, since he's the main protagonist of the show, this show was never meant to have a protagonist, as everyone should have an equal amount of screen time. And considering how badly butchered said characters are, it makes the issue even worse.
 * 27) *Lincoln and Lori Loud, Clyde McBride, Ronnie Anne and Bobby Santiago, Stella, Zach, Liam, Rusty, and Sid Chang don't appear at all in these seasons. There is not a single mention of them during these seasons, and nobody even asks if they're ok in the camp. This is due to them now appearing only in the spin-off A Loud Camp.
 * 28) *Despite being introduced in season 18, the Randy Cunningham characters barely appeared in this season, and while Randy and Theresa are still likeable, they don't appear that much.
 * 29) Some problems from seasons 9-12 return here, such as the lack of continuity, downgraded voice acting and so on.
 * 30) The show is also notorious for baiting various ships without making them canon
 * 31) *The most infamous example is Marcanne (Marcy x Anne) from Amphibia, which was listed among the most popular ships ever but the show never makes it canon and instead even trolls fans of this ship and is overreliant on queerbaiting, which pissed off a lot of fans of this ship. Despite that, their relationship is still pretty good.
 * 32) While the theme song has thankfully been changed, it’s very annoying and lazy. It’s just the characters walking in a line and repeating the show’s title not one, but 20 times.
 * 33) *However, Dana Terrace announced that season 20 will revert its original theme, due to the new one being painfully annoying to listen.
 * 34) Most of the episodes range from mediocre to extremely bad (See list Notable Bad Episodes so Far).
 * 35) The jokes were downgraded from funny, clever and awesome to downright stupid, stale, mean-spirited, horrendous, disgusting, unfunny and extremely offensive, which is shocking, considering the show is known for having tons of funny jokes and jabs and even handles offensive jokes pretty well, like South Park.
 * 36) *Like in seasons 9-12, the show nowadays overuse shock value, for the sake of being edgier than other animated sitcoms.
 * 37) Like Modern Family Guy, most of the conflicts are extremely forced. For example, in The Arrival of the Team RWBY, when they arrived in the show, the crew had a beef with them for no reason at all, and at the end of the episode, everyone quickly forgot about said beef.
 * 38) The plots became a lot more nonsensical and stupid, even for adult animated sitcom standards, due to these having stale jokes and recycled plots.
 * 39) The animation, while still beautiful, is a bit of a downgrade compared to the first 8 seasons, and seasons 14-16.
 * 40) *The art style can occasionally clash with each other, especially when a character with a 2D design and another character with a 3D design appear.
