>>151904258What's the point of going hard if people are going to skip them anyway?
>>151904258>Why are cartoon openings not allowed to go hard anymore?Disney and the others no longer compete with each other for after school and Saturday viewing. The war ended when pokemon + dragonball Z nuked the after school landscape and disney just outright purchased a bunch of properties. Your gargoyles example was trying to capture viewers from batman the animated series, which had an opening attempting to capture the same magic as the 89 batmanAnother question is why did american cartoons stop trying to make music that was good enough to be played on the radio. What has made the top 100? Archie's sugar sguar and Kpop's golden?

>>151904333ThisThey won't even give the intro a first runNot because they are afraid of spoilers, they are wired to skip them and see them as an inconvenience

>>151904258God this show was so boring
>>151904258Not just openings but also action scenes that goes hard too.
>>151906727I actually agree. It wanted to be a good show, but it was a kid show and overall nothing really happened. I'm not expecting people to die or something, but a rough summary of the storyline is "the main cast learns some valuable life lessons, Demona gets bodied repeatedly like the bitch she is, and Xanatos's storyline is a rollercoaster that's increasingly hard to take seriously."BTAS didn't need to reference Shakespeare to seem mature. Gargoyles references Shakespeare because that's a really deep literary reference to a middle schooler.
>>151904258Cartoons are mostly for kids, and kids don't have the attention span for an opening. Most tablet raised goblins can't even sit through an entire episode anymore. The cartoons of the future are 30 second clips with vague EDM playing in the background.
