Why aren't cartoons wacky anymore?
I don't know. But I really miss it. Also Marvin is cute.
>>145726600Because parents will sue the studio for their stupid kids dying.
the people making them have no actual sense of humor and are confusing sarcasm and cynicism with humor instead.
>>145726600A less conservative viewpoint is less contrasted by absurdism, and thus less appealed to.
>>145726724Well, shit. Could the truth really be that dumb?
>>145726764Yeah cause it was conservatives who had a big problem with a skunk kissing and going after women. Tell us some more """"""truths""""""" Tim Walz
>>145726600Writers. They don't want to write slapstick humor, they want to write witticisms and t-shirt slogans. Look at a show like Animaniacs. The Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister) are from the 1940s and should be wacky characters but the show is more focused on writing Groucho Marx jokes for Rob Paulsen. Because that's what is funny to a writer: words.
>>145726825You know damn well you have no footing to call out anyone for lying, Mr. They're-Eating-The-Dogs
>>145726600because everyone wants to do loreshit>>145726638>Also Marvin is cute.this
>>145726825Improve your reading comprehension. Liberals want something other than whacky because they don't get as much out of it as conservative equivalents. The company obliged.>>145726757Like this, for example. Sarcasm and cynicism are very appealing to the left wing. Fits their traditional power fantasy, where everyone's an idiot but them.
>>145726907I can't tell you how tired I am of loreshit. Animation is the wrong medium for lore. Animation is about movement. Lore belongs in books.
>>145726600Old cartoon where made by animators first and writers second, the people making them found the images themselves amusing, writers on the other hand think on the plot first and the animation is window dressing.
>>145727070i wouldnt mind it if it led to masterpieces of writing but it doesnt really
>>145726825Chuck Jones and Robert McKimson were the two most conservatives guys due to being from Texas and Colorado. McKimson was a nice guy with anger issues doing all the work of animating 100k after an accident. I argue Bob Clampett is the closest to liberal. I guess Tex Avery counts given he hated Looney Tunes for making music videos with song mandates, but loathed Disney for being too sentimental. Bugs Bunny cross dressing is more Bugs being a sissy and a heckler. I argue Popeye is the closest to OG conservative who hates women driver's>>145726872Cartoonists were hated for acting like a sophomores, needing a cartoon hating boss like to reign them in.
>>145726600>Why aren't cartoons wacky anymore?Teen Titans Go and Spongebob are. They're literally two of the most successful cartoons on the air today. Are you retarded?
>>145726600Post modernism is cancer to slapstick humor which is a modernist form of humor because post-modernism at it's heart is about questioning everything and subverting it. The two don't mix, you aren't supposed to question why people don't fall till they look down or why characters can only do x because it's funny.
>>145727070>>145727227ATLA shows there is nothing wrong with adding "lore" to animation. The problem is everyone now thinks of AT and GF as the height of storytelling in animation.
>>145727275Also most of the lore cartoons people complain about are long since cancelled so I'm not sure what people are sick of exactly.If anything I've seen more posts complaining that there's nothing but wacky cartoons.
>>145726600Anime influence. And no, anime stupid comedy moments don't count as cartoon wackiness.
>>145727451Unironically this. People blame other American cartoons for this but most modern animators claim anime as their primary influence and it shows in their work.
>>1457272752 legacy showsNothing new>>145727411The storytelling in GF and later AT came from social media communities, not the actual show
>>145727411Like I hate loreshit too but it's pretty stupid to outright say only lore belongs in books. You're basically admitting animation is limited in scope.
>>145726600The last truly good wacky cartoon was Uncle Grandpa and most people hated it, I blame those who wronged it.
>>145727508Shut up guy
>>145727518Animation can do things in drawings no other mediums canThe “lore” of “lore cartoons” is not even specifically created by the cartoon, the cartoon is the subject of lore, just like old creepypastas
>>145727537I literally mentioned that I hate modern lore cartoons.
>>145727535I win every time and your only response is to act like a tranny by imitating women using social power to avoid criticism.>>145727472They name drop Ghibli and Akira to look cool, they don’t actually care about the art and other parts of the craft, hence keeping on with naming Ghibli and Akira, because it is cool to do so
>>145726891But that’s actually happening. We have evidence of people trying to cancel Pepe as well as invaders cooking pets in the street. Just because the media is trying to spin the latter as a “misunderstanding” doesn’t change facts, cupcake.
>>145727574>brings up trannies out of nowhereRaping your niece really fucked you up huh?
>>145727573I literally do not give a shit about your preferences and prefer not to respond to them at all. My goal is to advance the medium of animation, not your interests.>>145727594You’ve been harassing me for years and still feel the need to act like your identical replies are new. I’ll email industry folks about some new stuff cuz of you
>>145726600Vax killed everyone's soul.
>>145727613And you being a schizo on a mongolian basket weaving forum has advanced the medium how?
>>145727532Really, you reap what you sow and people still haven't learned this lesson. Look at that one schizo who seethes over Phineas and Ferb but praises Owl House as top tier storytelling.
>>145727451>>145727472The worst part about this is that a majority of cartoon creators never take interesting aspects from anime. They just do references for their friends to point at or turn their show into diet anime. It's always Akira bike slides and Ghibli aesthetics without understanding what makes those aesthetics work.
>>145727708Don't forget Sailor Moon transformations and occasionally a Dragon Ball references. For a generation that grew up with so much anime, they have very shallow reference pools.
>>145727741That Amphibia finale that was apeing Dragon Ball was genuinely embarrassing. What were theg thinking.
>>145727636You’re talking about yourself, I’ve still never seen anybody respond to you positively, and you’re easy to spot because you say The Same Shit for Years.
Because you stopped supporting them
>>145726600Because real life got too wacky.
>>145726825>>145726891Go back >>>/pol/niggers
>>145726600Because it's too hawd to animate for the millennials :(And the fact that all the good cartoonists who know how to do this have either left the industry, or got exposed for being a disgusting trash human (Kyle Carrozza). Europe still does Wacky animation but even they are getting infected by the LA artstyle.
Incredible to see guy of all people being the voice of reason amidst of the board being run to the ground by /pol/faggotry
