Talking Tom And Ben News On Scratch

Okay, let's talk Talking Tom and Ben News... on Scratch. You know, that website where everyone makes games and animations?

Specifically, I want to talk about the obsession. The absolute, unwavering devotion to these digital cats reporting the news. Does anyone else find it a little... much?

The Allure of the Animated Anchors

I get it, kind of. It's cute. Talking animals are a classic comedy trope. And Scratch lets you create pretty much anything. That's cool!

But scroll through the trending projects sometimes. It feels like 80% are Talking Tom and Ben News! Seriously! What's so compelling?

I think maybe it's the simplicity. Replicating a simple formula. News reports made by cat and dog. Boom! Content.

But Is It... Good Content?

Here's where I might get some hate. I'm going to whisper it... I don't always find it that funny. Gasp!

Don't get me wrong, some are hilarious! Genuinely creative. Mad respect to those scratchers.

But a lot of them? Rehashed jokes. Stilted animations. Endless variations on the same theme. Just my opinion though!

Is it because kids love cats and dogs? Is it the repetitive nature? Is it easy to make? Probably all of the above!

I've seen Talking Tom and Ben News projects that are practically works of art. The voice acting! The graphics! Incredible!

Then I see some that… well, let's just say the bar is not set super high. And they still get a million views. What?!

Unpopular Opinion Time

Here it is. Brace yourselves. I think Talking Tom and Ben News on Scratch is slightly overrated. I said it!

There! I feel better. But let's be clear: I'm not hating on anyone's creativity. Make what you love!

If you're having fun making Talking Tom and Ben News, keep going! Don't let some grumpy internet person like me stop you.

The Scratch Community: A Double-Edged Sword

Scratch is amazing. It fosters creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Total win!

But sometimes, the popularity algorithm seems a little… off. Clicks tend to clump around similar things.

Meaning, if Talking Tom and Ben News are trending, more kids will make them, and more people will watch them. Creating a loop.

And that's fine! But maybe let's give some love to the underdogs, too? The weird, original, totally bonkers projects?

The ones that aren't just copying a popular formula? Those deserve some recognition too, right?

In Conclusion: Love Tom and Ben, but...

Talking Tom and Ben News has its place. It's a fun, accessible format. I get it.

But let's not let it overshadow all the other amazing stuff happening on Scratch. There's so much talent there!

So, next time you're browsing Scratch, give a chance for something new. Step outside the Talking Tom and Ben News universe. You might be surprised!

Maybe you'll even find your next creative obsession. Maybe you will even discover a whole new type of game!

Just... please, no more Talking Tom and Ben News about global warming. It's been done. Many times.
