Why did cartoons go to shit?
Why did cartoons go to shit?
Globo homo.
Anon Babble and its user base ignoring actually good cartoons but shilling actual trash like MLP, SU, GF, AT and Star Vs so those are what became known while good shows and action shows got ignored is the largest reason western animation died
A bubble burst. Not sure which one but this is clearly the symptom of a burst bubble.
Anon Babble and its user base ignoring actually good cartoons
Name it.
MLP, SU, GF, AT and Star Vs
All of those shows showed promise at one point.
Wander over Yonder
No money and risk taking going into it. We baby bears is a spin off of a pre-existing show that is aimed at a younger crowd, so double no risk taking. It's playing it safe and boring. They'll produce less shows and try to focus on specific franchises they can milk for more. And when they do greenlight original projects, they'll still pull back on things that could make it unique or interesting in favor of hitting certain criteria that they deem safe.
And then add on that youth have far more entertainment out there, much of it entirely free on social media platforms and youtube. Indie animation can make shows that actually can draw in an interested audience, but have to produce it pretty slowly due to smaller budgets and teams working on it.
SU,
the first 52 episodes were just Stephen being a fat gross retard. if I wanted to see a reflection of myself, I would turn off the TV.
GF,
for some reason dippers always portrayed as a width whenever Alex Hirst and those other writers have to come in and make sure he’s an actual good character. Meanwhile, Mabel never gets punished for doing anything wrong ever pretty much.
AT
went to shit after Pendleton Ward left, and Adam Muto and Rebecca Sugar decided to take the writing pencil that one episode where King and Marceline are walking around like the apocalypse or whatever was definitely the beginning of the end times.
and Star Vs
I never really watched any of this, but I know in the end they got started together with Marco so they at least did something right
Anime became more mainstream than ever
Marxism.
This will explain everything.
That all? Anon Babble miss one Craig McCracken show and now cartoons are dead?

we bare bears
bad
hahahah
It was the spin off where they're babies.
We aren't gonna be saved again, not until AI gets good enough to generate cartoons for the greedy studios and at that point there will probably be strict laws in place about what you can and can't do with AI regarding copyright

we bare bears
good
hahahah
The image that he posted has them all grown up.
that one episode where King and Marceline are walking around like the apocalypse or whatever
That was literally the best episodr and it's a shame we didn't get more episodes like Simon & Marcy or I Remember You. I could understand not liking season 6 and onwards but the Simon Petrikov subplot was the peak of the show.
You
not cheap bait
hahahaha
The current trend (with Nick) seems to be to take the superficial aspects of a CN show from 15 years ago and sprinkle some Disneyfication over it so it's for ages 2-12 instead of 8-college student. Your modern Flapjack is Middlemost Post. Your modern Regular Show is Rock Paper Scissors. Your modern Adventure Time is Max and the Midknights.
The real question is why are Cartoon fans so defensive of new shit? When someone says old Video games were better then new games there's a majority that agrees with them. Same with movies and Wrestling. Cartoons are the one medium where nostalgia is bad
We Baby Bears.
Any and all boy-oriented action cartoons like Tron, Motorcity, Generator Rex, etc and any shows not on CN/Nick/Disney
There’s way too many to list, but when you make it so the only cartoons are My Little Pony, Steven Universe and Gravity Falls, why would any male stick with western animation? You abandoned them supporting and solely shilling these terrible girl shows, the networks make only these type of shows in response, and they now abandoned you. Anon Babble has played a huge hand in this decline.
It's not cartoon fans pulling the "you're just nostalgic" card. It's people who stopped watching cartoons in 2011 who think "modern" means Gravity Falls and "the good old days" means Hey Arnold.
There’s way too many to list
You abandoned them
Anon, I....
They didn't. It is (You) who has become bored and dissatisfied not only with cartoons, but with life in general.
Well shiiiiiit maybe I should just go kill myself then, nameless projecting anon
Thank you anon. I didn't know I had the power to control whether or not large fanbases existed with my mood.
maybe I should just go kill myself then
No. Instead you should seek professional help, you need to get your mental health right.
Brown girl adventures
Boy kids stop watching because it's boring
Girl kids don't watch cartoons, once they learn what make-up is they get on that Sephora influencer grind
Creepy manchildren are rightwing and don't want brown characters or gays in their cartoons
Adult women don't care about cartoons
It's literally just eggless catmommies and trannies who watch cartoons nowadays
Kill yourself
"the good old days" means Hey Arnold
What does it mean then? Toy commercial shit like He-man? Stiff pose shit like Hanna Barbera?
the passage about how western cartoons need to be worse was such a weird part of das kapital
I supported Megas XLR with my little life and they fucking canceled it.
yeah, it was a weird segway from the part about transing children
That image is the truth by the way.
No, "modern" means My Deer Friend Nokotan and "the good old days" means Animaniacs.
lel
Go ask them
Diagnosing a mental illness for not liking trash cartoons literally killing swathes of the field
lmao
like 10 years ago, if you posted about how Adventure Time sucks you'd get a wall of manifestos from grown men about how it's the greatest show ever created, nowadays if you post about how Cartoon Network's only show sucks you get "Yeah, and? It's just a kids cartoon, it's not supposed to be good"
Its ambitionless castrated garbage. Literally
Cartoons were always shit
Generator Rex
MotorCity
These were shit. Just because you like jerking off to men doesn't make them good.
Anon Babble has played a huge hand in this decline
Anons massively overestimating their influence as usual, i see
Maya and the three
Kicked out of every nation on europe
What I want to know is WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE CARTOON!!??
In the past 5 years, I can count maybe, MAYBE, 10 original cartoons that were actually good. That's 2 cartoons per year. And it's not like I don't tune in to check out new shows, the problem is, there barely are any new shows
Garrison finally admits his antisemitism
Based.
You know what? The real missing element is Horror: not just disturbing imagery but suspenseful and terrifying cinematography. That is the key element that has been taken out of cartoons. People are just not comfortable with making horror content for children anymore. As a matter of fact they avoid it as much as possible, yet every single time an indie horror game gets popular 99% of the fanbase is children.
Several recessions made studios anxious about anything risky and not safe for profits. The target audience doesn't give a shit because they're small children. The only people bothered by this shift are sad "adults" that agonize over kids cartoons.
I think a part of it is rights issues. With the internet becoming more and more accessible, less and less creatives want to put entirely original IPs out under a big publisher, since it means giving the publisher the rights to your IP even if you leave later. So, you get more and more reboots of the IPs the publisher still owns.
they got started together with Marco so they at least did something right
That was one of the worst things about that ending though
Stopped reading after the first retarded misspelling
What misspelling?
Nostalgia filtering
Everyone remembers cool shit that spawned from Cartoon Cartoons, and Cartoonstitute but forgets the waves of shit like the god awful live actions series(Airing on the channel literally called CARTOON Network), or brainrot like Uncle Grandpa,Fanboy and Chum Chum and Problem Solverz
Streaming and tablets
Cable is dead, with that there's no revenue or point to produce animation of any quality. and that wasn't even the main blow, most cartoons make money off merchandise, but kids don't play with toys anymore, tablets are now their babysitters
They went to brown town
Fixed.
It's less that Anon Babble ignores those shows and more that the audience for those shows gave up on cartoons a long time ago and isn't interested in coming back.
There are a lot of people who just have no interest in watching cartoons of any kind, unless they're HEAVILY shilled, like on the level of Arcane.
You're just remembering the good cartoons from back in the day and ignoring all the amazing ongoing shows like and , and who could forget about .
Theres 10 more where that came from.
en.wikipedia.org
My Friend Nokotan.
You got older.
Not true, people just want comedy cartoons.
Case in point.
Damn, way to ignore my second point just for the sake of owning me
Not true.
Again, mockery 100 years ago =/= current day brownie protags
I read you loud and clear. If Netflix didn't exist, grown men would be making We Baby Bear OCs and writing We Baby Bears fanfiction and watching the show with their friends religiously
