Can anything save them?
Maybe
No
>>150166615No, nothing will.
The writing's been on the wall since 2014. CN decided to tone down their shows, make them less hyper, more grounded, they wanted more emphasis on empathy cartoons, meanwhile every kid on earth was losing their mind over FNAF.
>>150167025>>150166714>>150166973yep, 2014 was when CN died. Some say it died in 2009 with live-action crap such as CN Real, but even then the era from 2009-13 did have some good stuff
>>150166615The channel shutting down and becoming a TV shopping channel selling kitchenwares and furniture
>>150166615They're already dead
>>150166615Nope. Only delay tue inevitable. They are the obstacles standing in the way of animation and when they finally fall we can start to heal.
>>150166615Shut down everything related to cable television and focus resources into making new original shows for Max or whatever the fuck streaming service they're on now
>>150167892This. They're just burning money trying to keep their stations open. Nobody watches TV anymore, hell, my 80 year old Grandma doesn't watch TV anymore. She uses Netflix and YouTube
>>150167906Oh no they still get a shitload of free money from cable. 100% of Paramount and WBD's net income comes from cable, everything else they own loses money. Especially their streaming services. Even 1/3 of Disney is just cable, the remaining 2/3 is parks. People buy it just to watch the news or sports and bars throw a bunch of TVs on playing hockey, doctor's offices, but a chunk of every box's monthly fee goes straight to the channels. All 3 of these companies could sink money into movies and shows that all make $0 for the next decade and they'll be fine.
>>150166615Yeah, nostalgia-bait. Here's the most jewish advice I'm going to give on this board: if you want to hook new generations on your brand, you need appeal. Be self-masturbatory. Rerun your shows. Rerun old advertisements. Make Roblox games and mobile apps. Sell out and cash in on memes. It works for Nickelodeon because kids know and buy merch of characters from cartoons they've never even seen before. Do the same, do it cheap. Stop paying for new shows and start paying for new seasons of old shows. Not reboots, new seasons.
>>150166615No. Normies don't care enough about CN. Everything they try won't work.
>>150167992This. Why do you think zombie channels like Discovery Life and Disney XD still exist?
>>150166615>Can anything save them?Not really.
>>150166664It's dead, Jim
recently CN got taken out of my cable package and i was pretty sad about it. but then i started listing shows i watched to download them, and it was evident CN hadn't made a new good show in at least 7 years, and i mostly watched fox reruns on adult swim.
>>150169634Infinity Train gets pretty good, but for the most part you're right.
>>150167067>Live action shows on a channel called CARTOON NETWORKDid nobody tell the idiot who came up with that where they were working?
>ok, we had our most successful period yet, what can we do to keep growing >durrr, let's make live action shit>oh no, this move sent us into a death spiral, how could it happen
>>150166615The entertainment system does not really exist for them any longer. No one bothers with broadcast tv, and streaming does not really do channels either. Their whole format is dead now.
>>150169795>”Let’s copy Disney and Nickelodeon, they are successful no?”
>>150169795>>150169885CN from the moment it started doing original programming was the "Cheaper but more creative freedom" 3rd place channel.This is a fantastic thing to exist for cartoon fans who appreciate the content but is a constant source of anxiety for the people on the business end of things. So seeing how live action was working out for the other CN decided to try and claim a bigger slice of the pie and the cost of what made them unique.
>>150169987It really would have worked if they hadn't forgotten one tiny detail. Nick and Disney's sitcoms brought in the girls who were too insecure to watch cartoons, meanwhile CN made one show about imaginary friends and one about videogames.
I used to rule the worldSeas would rise when I gave the wordNow in the morning, I sleep aloneSweep the streets I used to own
>>150170061Add on top of that stuff like Destroy Build Destroy and it was clear that CN was trying to court the male version of that same demographic. But firstly more boys stick around cartoon spaces and this was around the same time that the total migration to video games as the not only primary but sole hobby for many boys began in earnest.
>>150170071After seeing this image so much recently it continues to annoy me how almost every 3d depiction of Ed gives way to round of a head.
>>150166615By the end of this decade, GLITCH will be a bigger name in cartoons than Cartoon Network.
>>150170071My wives Ami and Yumi!
>>150169574At least they tried to do different styles this time. Here was their last 10.
>>150166664I’m convinced CN will be owned by Disney before these come out
>remember CN as being the highest quality and most liked kids channel by a wide margin>in reality it rated way worse than disney and nick for its entire existencei still don't get it. most of their cartoons were nothing special. does live action just completely dominate?
>>150166615Nope. Kids are watching AI India slop.
>>150170765Nick and Disney were just around a longer and didn't take as much chances as CN, thus making them more normie friendly.
>>150170881people watched romeo????
>>150170740>They're all rounded.What happened to sharp corners in cartoons?
>>150170881>Kids' WB had the three top shows of that time though it looks like Xiaolin tied with the Sponge>Warners gave up and let the block die because DUDE CABLE LMAO
>>150166615>Pivot to a Crunchyroll style model.>Develop cartoons with young adults in mind.>Look at how anime approaches genres.>Don't do western adult animation.>Look at what indie YouTube creators are doing and invest in them.Not hard to save them.They're just too entrenched in legacy media.
>>150170881What do the ratings numbers mean?what does a 4.8 mean?
>>150166615someone post the schedule where it was 90% teen titans go
>>150171128The ride never ends.
>>150166615>Fortnite: The Animated Series>Skibbidi Toilet: The Movie>The Amazing World of Andrew Tate
>>150166664>only Hungry ghost's stupid animatic leaked fuck it all
>>150172099>That little spot of Steven Universe in the endless sea of TTGI don't know whether to laugh or cry
>>150172099>99%Fuck that's bad.
Let's say you get an internship at Cartoon Network, and for whatever reason you get picked randomly to be the one to choose the next show to go into production (David Zaslav snorted cocaine and picked you by throwing darts at a board, or some shit); they show you the pitches to pick from, and the options for you to choose are:>The Skibbidi Toilet Show.>The Sigmazing World of Andrew Tate.>IShowSpeed Goons in Ohio.>Chris Chan Rizzes Again at 3 AM.>Baby Shark v. Fortnite: Dawn of Drake.What do you do in this situation?
>>150166615>owned by Warner Bros.>the same company lead by a CEO who doesn't like cartoons and has been slashing animation budgets across the boardNo. They're one bad fiscal year away from getting written off.
>>150172422I dunno man that last one might work
>>150172593>First Cartoon Network IP to make a billion dollars
>>150172607Ben 10 made 8 of those
>>150172616Fuck, you're right. I forgot.Okay, a trillion dollars.
>>150171082The percentage of 9-14 year olds watching each program.
>>150166615They should've taken notes from Adult Swim doing Checkered Past and bring back all the old early 2000s and 90s cartoons.
>>150172422Disembowel the bastard and eat his heart thereby gaining his power and using it to blacklist nearly everyone responsible for the shows and rebranding the network went through since 2007.
>>150166664Andrew Dickman should stick to drawing furry porn and reviewing video games on Youtube
>>150170740>OK-KO but furries>Craig of the Creek but even less corners>Over the Garden Wall but worse>Regular Show but with red asians>nu-Powerpuff Girls but even worse>Gumball but only Cal-Arts style is used
Kick out Sugar, her ilk and kill whoever runs their social media
>>150170740this all looks like something i would refuse to watch.all of it.I'm not curious about a single one.
>>150174489Sugar isn't there
>>150166615Beg Mattel for a new Hot Wheels, He-Man, or Max Steel cartoon.
