My favorite cartoons are Hey Arnold, X Men Evolution, Justice League and Young Justice.
Never finished Young Justice, it was cancelled then it got uncancelled, dunno how it ended. Oh and Sym-bionic Titan which was also cancelled for some reason, and it was getting so good.. CN gotta love cancelling everything. I'd recommend Sym-bionic Titan if I didn't know it ends in a fucking cliffhanger, remembering it makes me want to cry.

Forever angry the Reboot license is with a deranged moid who ruins it with unrelated garbage spinoffs and won't sell it to someone who'd actually use it. The animation's aged so badly but the story is still excellent, it would just need a remaster and could be aired today otherwise untouched and have an actual end and not a cliffhanger.
No. 189444
>>189414Hm…idk, honestly. A lot of the characters end up being more complex, which is one of my favorite things about the series – Daria and Jane's friendship gets complicated in interesting ways, everyone in Daria's family gets more depth esp. Quinn and their mom, Jodie gets some really cool bits, Daria herself ends up having to face the fact that she's not actually surrounded by total idiots and she relies on the icy outcast thing to protect herself. But I'm remembering that all pretty cumulatively – it's spread out over the whole series, which is still mostly the really dry humor you might not be digging. It's not really a show you HAVE to watch in order, though – I think the first one I ever saw was the finale, lol. There is some linear development so you won't catch everything and some of these are some of the most climactic episodes in the show, so if you're not into that, ignore this. But if you're okay with skimming for the best stuff, I'd say watch these episodes to see if you dig 'em, and if you don't, it might not be for you:
>Gifted: Jodie and Daria tour a "gifted" school, end up hating it>See Jane Run: Jane gets interested in track, Daria can't deal>Daria!: musical episode, which I mostly remember for the fun format, lol>Fire! and Dye, Dye My Darling: Biggest conflict between Jane and Daria in the entire series, a guy is involved, goes right to the heart of why their friendship matters so much to Daria and also forces her to look at the fact that she is also a dumb teen>Boxing Daria: Last episode, barring the movies. Daria has a big crisis regarding her place in her family. No. 189463

Them growing apart and having normal jobs seemed so unneccesary to me. It's the same old "and then you grow up and never have fun adventures ever again, but it's ok because you're a boring adult who likes it that way!". That is a sad ending to me, as an adult. Feels like it's written by a sad adult who had to abandon their dreams and now preach to kids that that is just "reality" and they "need to grow up some day". And they're only in their early 20s! You're telling me Anne's middle age parents were perfectly capable of becoming top secret alien fighters in the span of what? a few weeks? But the girls discovering other magical worlds and powers exist did nothing to peak their curiosity and instead opt for boring lives?
I would have been more satisfied if it just ended without the plot ever being solved and them going on adventures for the rest of their lives.

I'm not really super into monster high or fandom discourse so I might just be being retarded but I kinda get the feeling that mattel/nickelodeon might have undone the extra publicity they could had gotten from making Frankie a themlet by messing up the vibe of the designs. MH fans have been complaining for years about them taking any edge out of the designs which was making it lame but they just went and made them even more cutesy bubbly farty.
The people I follow online might be just too normie for this but the only time I've seen people mention the animated reboot is people weirded out at them making lagoona pink.
I kinda get the feeling they wanted to make the show more kiddy kiddy and they thought just slapping some woke stuff in there would keep the older (teenage and young adult) fans in. It will probably be easier to tell when they release a trailer of it.

Anyone watching Tuca and Bertie S3?
I only caught the first 3 episodes so far since I'm watching them online
Slight spoilers for S3 episodes:
I kind of don't like how they regressed Tuca's character again to make her to the lol random friend that ruins situations for other characters but then everything works out in the end. I thought she would of ended up less destructive to herself this season but maybe we will see where she goes from here.
I liked the idea of the second episode where she was seeing a bunch of medical professionals and couldn't find out what was wrong with her, but it spent too much time on the bees part. Also the Kara cameo didn't really contribute anything.
The snake episode was meh, the whole snake joke was overplayed by the end. I'm curious to see if the Figgy character will reappear after the ending to this one

Was told to repost this here (from /snow/):
Major shakeups with David Zaslav stepping in as CEO of Warner Brothers Discovery. Scoob's holiday special was months away from finishing and has been cancelled. Little Ellen's latest season was completed and has been shelved and is now lost media. Final Space was not only cancelled but deplatformed and is now no longer legally available anywhere. Close Enough has been cancelled after 3 seasons. While most of the press has been focused on how live-action is being affected by the WB/Discovery merger the animation industry is likewise looking at an uncertain future, at least that under WBD's domain.
Zaslav is trying to get the finances under control (WB holds an astounding debt) and one way to do that is via tax write offs. They can use a show as a write off but in order to do that they are not allowed to profit off it in any way which means they can not release it. Evidently the tax write off is worth more than having these titles in their library. Longer term I think this bodes badly for western animation. The new CEO wants to trim up the amount of script-driven shows with the idea of having a smaller, current library of high quality heavy hitters and then lots of cheap reality entertainment. Animation is expensive and script driven and might not be popular enough to justify the expense in his eyes. They might pivot (like CN already was) towards focusing on animated content aimed at babies and toddlers ("Cartoonito").

Warner Brothers Discovery is/was a major funder of animated content via Warner Bro's Animation, Warner Animation Group, Cartoon Network, and William's Street (Adult Swim). Netflix likewise recently restructured its in-house animation studio (laying off 150 people) and Disney recently shut down Blue Sky animation studios of Ice Age fame. So who's left?

Teenagers had sitcoms because they're supposed to be able to relate to real people in real situations.
These fantasy cartoons are nice for teens as well, but the themes are too deep or too complex for children that have to either watch paw patrol at 9 or watch amphibia or Star vs the forces of evil and not give a single tiny little fuck about who wants to fuck who because it's "icky" and plain awkward.

But I'm glad that not all cartoons for kids are poor attempts at "mature" complex overarching stories. I'm kinda tired of those. If people want to make that kind of series they shouldn't make them for children. Not only does the target audience (children) not watch them as much as older people, but the age rating restricts the creators a lot.

I may be late on this one but I recently watched Inside Job and I love it. I find it as enjoyable as Rick and Morty but with conspiracies and without the show being too obnoxious. It's rare to see a female lead for an adult animated series that is also likeable and I applaud them for that. What's also rare is that the male main character is an attractive man who is sometimes sexualized and objectified. Usually it's the other way around because of how most adult animated series are male centric so it's a breath of fresh air. Anyways it's a good watch. Hoping for season 2.

The art is basic but it gets the job done and the story is currently addressing stuff that the original really should have reagarding the Horde and what they're going to do after the war without being disrespectful to the source material.
I dunno, I think it's neat. Definitely one of the better fix fic/comics I've read.

King of the Hill will be my favorite cartoon for life i just cant imagine anything surpassing it
Im currently watching South Park and have about 5 more seasons to go and ive also been rewatching Teen Titans here and there.
I want to rec Clarence to any cartoon fan i can i think the art style turns people away from it but its genuinely a very funny show with enjoyable characters and many nostalgic elements. Its very slice of lifey

Didn't know if I should post this here, in the movie thread, or in the video game thread lmao
So what do nonnies think about the new Mario movie trailer, and what do you think about the way Peach is depicted? I honestly couldn't help but kinda roll my eyes at this "strong female character" attempt, with the battle axe and the biker suit, I just hope they don't overdo it, and that she uses her parasol a lot since it's one of her main items/weapons in the games.
I also feel like the second trailer spoiled the whole movie and that they could've shown a lot less and it would've still been exciting. Maybe half of what they showed in the trailer would've been enough.

>>259756She looks more sexualized now with the skin-tight suit, what was wrong with her princess dress? anyways, its an illumination film so its going to be a generic movie for toddlers and the fat manchildren stinking up the place are going to give it an standing ovation while the ipad toddlers with ADHD play with their phones. Its really sad to see Japanese videogame companies pander to westerners, a 2D Mario movie made by any Japanese animation studio would have been amazing, but no we get a generic westerb movie by the shittiest western animation study no less.

>>259756I wish princess peach has a scene where she’s tired and frustrated about her kingdom being constantly targeted to the point where she breaks down crying. Then she builds herself back up, grabs her parasol and beats up some enemies. Wish western media had female characters actually cry while also being a “badass” it would be a nice callback to sailor moon since you know every modern animation rips it off and all. Kek

>>259756The Mario games are children's games and I never played them growing up so I have no nostalgia for the franchise. The movie is going to be a generic kids movie, which is fine. They are the target audience not adults. I don't think it's going to be very good movie but it's really not worth getting angry over. Though I will admit I thought Peach's voice sounded kinda weird… I don't know how to describe it but it doesn't fit her character design and it sounded like the voice actor didn't have much experience in voice acting(I'm too lazy to look up who her voice actor is but I assume it's a famous movie actor who hasn't done much voice work).

Forever mad this show was planned so awfully/got cancelled because her story and the mysteries surrounding the infinity train and her were the main reason I kept watching it. Glad the parts had at least some conclusive sub-stories though, think part 2 was my favorite, followed by part 3.
I just wish the creators hadn't assumed they would get 8 seasons from get go, this almost never happens and cancellations after season 3 are pretty common with cartoons.

toxic she was. Shut up this is literally the point, they're not supposed to be rolemodels, they're young people acting like retards because they're young. And of course the same people complaining about her and Chaka never said a word about any male characters being shitty. They would comment under every episode so I remembered them and it was always talking shit about the female characters.
On a different note, the show made me feel nostalgic for a time I don't remember and deepen my hatred for social media. I just know I would hate Chaka with a passion if the show was set in 2020s kek

The only thing that I know about that animation is that the creator was behind the animation Regular Show and the fact he inserted himself, his wife and daughter as the main characters?

nonnie, cartoon self-inserts come across as super annoying compared to other types especially in recent years.
No. 275400
I know a lot of anons don't like Steven Universe (totally ok), but I have to say that when the show aired and I was 15 it was… a breath of fresh air in between so many cartoons that relied on shock value and gross humour to make children laugh. I don't quite like those cartoons that show vomit, or pimples, or whatever, or any show that is nonsensical and stupid, like Uncle Grandpa, Spongebob, Clarence, etc.
That's why when Steven Universe premiered, I felt like I finally had something to watch.
I agree that the series leaves a lot to be desired, especially the plot, which becomes more retarded as the show goes on. I think I stopped following SU when they finally confirmed that Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond. It was such a non-sensical decision, to make them the same character… I also didn't like how the narrative basically forced us to feel… sorry for her? I can assure you that I didn't and that I hate her a lot, lmao.
BUT I have to say the first couple of seasons are great. Steven is adorable when he is a kid, the songs and the soundtrack are gorgeous. The animation and backgrounds were also pretty cool, in my opinion: fighting scenes, dancing, explosions, interesting shots, etc.
>inb4 "you don't like spongebob, opinion discarded"

No. 275432
>>275404I like they all resemble a bunch of kids I knew when I was a kid myself. That most of the adventures they have is made up or exaggerated by their own imagination.
And I love the little things, like when Sumo breaks his leg (if I remember correctly) and his mom tells him there is icecream hidden in the freezer so his siblings won't find it, it is like that when you have siblings.. I like when Clarence shows up uninvited to the girls slumber party and they have the same fun the boys would have but Sumo and Jeff are alone and they wonder what Clarence is doing in the girls party ("probably pillow fighting and talking about boys") and at some point they start dancing like the guys in boybands kekk. Also when Sumo and Clarence think they broke the tv when they were playing fight and lie about it "tv went weird out of nowhere" and the mom just tells them "just unplug it and then turn it on again, see?" old ass tech solution. I love their teachers, resemble a lot the ones I've had, I like the adults feel like adults even when they're ridiculous and that Clarence's mom is shown doing stuff with her kid, like when she puts Clarence in karate but she is the one having fun there while Clarence thinks it's boring. Also when Clarence was obsessed with that ugly doll he carried everywhere and people tried to make him stop playing with it.
I guess people might come at me for comparing it to Hey Arnold but it feels like the new generation's Hey Arnold in which there is no bigger plot about defeating an absolute evil to achieve world peace, just a bunch of kids running around being kids, but these kids are not the same, it's not the 90s anymore. I also watched Craig of the creek which is basically same premise and I felt that while it actually has good lessons here and there, the lessons (and the references) were kinda forced where Clarence goes with harmless fun and some references could fly over your head. Hey Arnold gets some nice lessons which I believe might be what Craig of the Creek probably tried to emulate maybe? But Hey Arnold feels a lot more mature, Craig and Clarence lack that maturity and go on a more positive note without the depressing moments.
I also like that I can enjoy it with my mom and she enjoys the adult characters too, and how she always point out that Clarence is probably an autist because he behaves exactly like the autistic son of her friend she used to babysit kek
Tl;dr: harmless fun about kids and crazy adults reminds me of Hey Arnold a little bit but has its own charm. Fun for all family, makes me nostalgic. 5/5 watch it always it's on tv.
No. 275446
>>275432I can see you are invested in the show and I think that's pretty awesome. I didn't notice all those things you just described, maybe if I watched the show now I could appreciate it more. I guess I just never related to the characters as much as you did, so for me it wasn't that interesting.
Also, I never watched Hey Arnold, so that may also explain why Clarence was not my cup of tea (since I didn't grow up with that type of cartoon).
It's cute that you and your mom both enjoy the series btw.

>>294584>made me sad that this era will never returnsame. it's kind of crazy it ever existed tbh. the amount of creative freedom and
time these studios had to work on this stuff. what's interesting is now the process is obviously so streamlined and mass produced but the output
feels much less than before. because so few animations now are even worth paying attention to. the 90s was much more potent in creative output and subversive dialogue.
what's really annoying too is that I'm sure there are so many animators and writers out there right now, itching to make something unique and interesting, without trying to shove a message down anyone's throats, but none of the execs will ever pick them up. that's why south park and the simpsons are still running… they just want things that already exist and are easy to and quick to run. there is zero interest in anything new or creative. and I'm not sure how that's ever going to improve now we're in the AI era.

>>294604i think, for me, a big aspect of enjoyment comes from the animations themselves. i like to see things that are hand-drawn moving around. i know a lot of shows are under hellacious deadlines and it's really not easy to make cartoons and put them on tv in general but every time i try to watch one of the modern adult cartoons i get so bored by what i'm seeing. as you say, there is a lack of creativity. there is also a lack of fun, a lack of the love of cartoons as an inherently silly medium imo, there's often this weird cynicism in modern adult cartoons that they have to have some deeper messages or be ironic in a way, idk. this specific era of the 90s was very punk. very free, very focused on authenticity, creating whatever you wanted and i feel like that's gone. i also marvel at the fact that any of this was even broadcast on a major network.
anyway my personal faves of this era:
- aeon flux
- the brothers grunt
- the maxx
- angry cabaret
- joe normal
- the head
- daria (ironically, one of the "cleanest" ones i like as far as lines, and i feel like it set a foundation for the stiffness and sterility of modern adult cartoons which i hate as i mentioned. i love it in daria bc it was so unique at the time.)

I never got the appeal of we bare bears. It's a children's show but the main characters act like manchildren. I'm not against adult protagonists in children's cartoon and hidden adult jokes but the way the bears act is so unappealing I doubt if they hadn't been cute-looking bears then no one would had cared much about this cartoon. They also desperately wanted to get an adult fanbase since they had many "relatable" weeb jokes in it but the show never got a major adult fanbase the same way SU and KO did.

If you check their kickstarter they actually seem to have a very developed concept

Also, I think we've reached a point in discourse where even the queerio kids want to have some stories where the characters just are LGB
T without their non-straightness being their single character trait, so I'm hoping an artistic short like this wouldn't go into the cringy type of thing you're thinking of.

>>302149>I've seen some say they want Peggy's character changed for KOTH for being too toxic.It boggles (heh) my mind how many people get their britches in a wad over her. Yeah she can be egotistical at times, but she's a very entertaining character and genuinely cares about her family. Her egotism was even explained in later episodes as a result of her
growing up with an overbearing mother and not fitting in with other, more stereotypically feminine women like Minh and Nancy. I've actually talked to scrotes who love Cotton but hate her, as if Cotton wasn't a narcissistic abuser to his son and wives. Peggy actually encourages Hank to stand up to his father and generally supports Bobby and Luanne as well, even though her attempts at support fall flat sometimes.

I agree completely. I don't get moids who love Cotton's character. He's funny sure but an awful person. Peggy is delusional, has trouble understanding others' needs but but means well and hasn't psychologically damaged anyone, unlike him. It reminds me of the fanboys who hate Skyler White and simp for Walt
No. 304127
>>303701NTAYRT. I don't know how unpopular this opinion is, but I have always loved Peggy, I wouldn't want her to be changed because she's """
toxic""". However, I do have a problem with the way she's portrayed sometimes. It's just after a certain point, I started to notice that her flaws were being exaggerated to a ridiculous OTT degree, to the point that the writers seemed to want her to be annoying to the audience and to constantly punish her for her many mistakes. Sometimes the writers got way too mean with her and I hated seeing her suffering, crying, and being treated like a retarded idiot so often while her husband fixes everything she messed up. One or two times I wouldn't have minded, but it started to become too common. There was a season where the writers seemed to notice they were getting too carried away, and after a series of mean episodes they finally gave her an episode where she solves her own fuckups using her own intellect, so that basically confirmed it for me.
I always thought it was funny when she acted a bit selfish or overconfident for a quick joke and when her flaws are not blown out of proportion but, maybe it's just me, or because I binge watched the series instead of taking my time with it, but I realized the writing isn't always consistent - there are multiple retcons later on in the series so I take some backstory details with a grain of salt - and her character did change over time, though not always in a good way. Same with other characters. This becomes especially glaring when, at the same time, Hank started to become more and more flawless.
>>303827>I don't get moids who love Cotton's character.>It reminds me of the fanboys who hate Skyler White and simp for WaltThat's because they're misogynistic moids for the most part, they're unable to see male characters that are supposed to be bad people as bad.
I always hated Cotton with a passion, so much so that I have been thinking of posting him in the characters you hate thread, kek. He is funny and gave us plenty of funny moments, yeah, but he was a massive piece of shit, I guess it's one of those "love to hate" characters. I read somewhere that
he would die but since I was still watching one of the early seasons I got impatient and every time he appeared I kept thinking "when is this fucker going to die?" I can't believe it took him like 10 seasons to finally kick the bucket. That scene where
Peggy talks to him before he dies was so based, I love her so much.

But I gotta say watching it as an adult, I adored the show even if the art style is not great but if anything, it helps it stand out even more and it helps the show has some pretty good humor in it.
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing the show continued and they had Brandon, Melissa, an Jason as college students.

>>302067Reminds me of newer transformers stuff, especially the comics. I enjoyed them a lot but the seething never fucking stopped because dudebro fans cannot get over any sort of writing that is more nuanced than black vs white PEW PEW.
Also, they got mindbroken by some gay male characters and make text walls up to this day where they explain why robots that feel emotions, thirst and cry can somehow not feel love and can therefore not be gay even though the ages old first series already contained canon romances but they were hetero, so it doesn't count as love to them(?) (maybe that's how these people view marriages lmao).
I wasn't sure whether I should watch this new Superman since I love the style but am not a Superman fan. But now I will watch it for sure, thanks to all the seething. I am sure I will enjoy it. It always baffles me that these people don't move on. They are obviously too old for this or unwilling to engage with it anymore. They should rewatch the old shit they are into then instead of seething until they're getting strokes.

>>302067OK I watched a couple of episodes of this (wasn't paying full attention though) and I don't know how common this is in western animation, but the dialogue, pacing, even the voice acting in most cases sounded so tryhard and… tumblr-y? I don't know how to describe it but both the dialogue, humor, romance and especially the artwork (I never watched Voltron) remind me of a mix between western and Korean webtoons, which made me cringe. But sometimes there are good moments, and I really like Lois's character, her personality is cute. Obviously Clark is hot, but the half-toonboom animation and art style that looks like an imitation of Korean anime are a bit off-putting. And the fact that these two got their crush at first sight moment so fast made me roll my eyes. Everything seems to happen so fast. But hey, the action wasn't that bad.
If this is what Voltron was like, thank fuck I never watched it. I didn't pay a lot of attention because I realized from the beginning that this show makes me cringe a lot. Despite that, I will keep watching this way, because I don't actually hate it.

These managers believe that you could just open yet another streaming service when most people already pay for five of them, upload two good series and get millions of subscribers within the first weeks and if not it's getting cancelled. I think people need to realise that there are too many streaming platforms, one of them costs like 12 EUR/dollars a month.

>>321710I still liked s3 but can totally see where you are coming from. And S4 felt useless even to me. Maybe it could have been better if they were more daring with the plot and interactions, but like that it felt like an in-between season without much of a reveal or things happening.
To be honest I mainly wanted the series to finish properly because I am into Amelia Hughes and the whole lore involving her. The central mystery was intriguing and you simply do not get awesome, badass but also broken older women like her in cartoons or anime otherwise. if you are very lucky you might get a male character like this and even that is rare, but women never.
It's a fucking shame that the creators were so careless to believe that they would surely get 8 seasons greenlit, something that barely even happens with mainstream shows. You should always assume that the next season will be the last one. In that sense s4 was especially enraging, since it was so damn useless. If they had wrapped up the main plot it might have had a bigger impact, maybe making more people watch it and allowing more season. Stuff like s4 would have worked as spin-off and sequel too. The important shit should come first.
Sorry for that long rant lol, I am just sad about this wasted potential.

I couldn’t make it past ep 4. maybe I had too high expectations because I liked the artwork/animation, and the concept of a gnc female samurai sold me. it has a lot of the ingredients I would typically like, but it was so poorly executed
>created by a white man and his wasian wife before I even looked it up it was so obvious that this show was created primarily by white people and perhaps a self-hating wasian with a surface level understanding of japanese culture. it’s pure self-fulfilling western fantasy fueled by white guilt and orientalism
>gnc female mc is NOT actually a lesbian disappointing
>other lead decides to runaway from her life as a princess to be a prostitute and this is perfectly reasonable this part was so stupid, not to mention how excessive the sex scenes were in general

Finished picrel today. It brought back so much memories, and I finally knew what episode the specific scene of someone making mashed potatoes and dropping it on the floor, then scoped it back to the pot, and Lor -the blonde girl- saw him and decided not to eat the mashed potatoes, and her family of 19 or something ended up all sick and she took care of them all. It was a Christmas special where she recalled the incident, I finally know!
The overall show is good, it's hilarious and fun, and I enjoyed Tino's -the blond boy- parents divorce and mom's remarriage possibility plot. Lor is my favorite character because she's so braindead and a good gnc/tomboy character. Carvar or whatever his name is -the black boy- and Tish -the redhead girl- are the worst of the cast and very annoying, but they did have their moments as well. Tish's mom is so cool lmao.

>>367140>>367025>>367315>>367551Okay I'm all done and it's time for my cartoon persona to cross my arms and offer my critique:
Wow. I went my whole life not seeing Season 3 and expected so much of it and it just, didn't really do anything. Like, they enter high school, there is some minor drama with Darren being on the football team, his relationship with Ginger, and then it just ends like that. Courtney and Miranda are practically written out of the show, other than Courtney getting bullied a few times and then the grand finale of her becoming poor. By the way last anon, it's implied she moves into the Foutley's old house. She doesn't die in poverty. But still. They really could have done more with her character. It seemed like the creators wanted her to get her comeuppance but she really wasn't as bad a bully as Miranda, just a histrionic diva, so why even go this route?
Other than that, Macie has zero character development which sucks. They try to force Carl to change but the show doesn't last long enough after that to really convince the viewer. Polly and Noelle vanished too, why? I know they had to cancel this show due to poor ratings so the creators probably had more in mind than just wrapping it up so abruptly, but I really wish we got more than this.
I can't believe Rugrats All Grown Up lasted longer than ATBG.
