>There's this one episode of Superman: The Animated Series... I genuinely believe this is the golden era of all cartoons, mid-90s, kinda ended when Batman Beyond was cancelled in 2001, was totally gone and destroyed when Justice League Unlimited ended around 2004 or 2005. After that, I just couldn't watch cartoons anymoreIs he correct?
>>153733848Buy an ad.
How did people in 2006 know that they'd never make good cartoons again?
>>153734123Source?
>>153734123Why did Avatarfags acted so haughty when there other action cartoons at the time?
>>153733848He's pretty much correct, yes. While there have been a few alright ones, nothing to the level of the cartoons of the 90s and early 2000s have been made since.
>>153734123>typing this unironically>when cartoons from the 80s/90s were still toy commercialsI keep forgetting 4chan's average IQ is lower than the age limit to vote.
>>153734696Avatar looked significantly better and managed to have a complete story. When /co/ started in ‘06 it was basically the only cute toy airing cartoon /co/ cared about since JLU just ended This was also the era of attempting to do action shows in Flash which looked awful
You're supposed to grow out of watching cartoons.
>>153734968Criticism for being a toy commercial is retarded for it does not say anything about the quality of the show. It's an unfair and utterly childish judgement. You don't sell anything without being compelling. Most 80s cartoons had strong storylines and compelling characters. They get rebooted for a reason. Try articulating like a non-NPC why being a "toy-commercial" is bad. Explain that if you can. You've already lost, because 80s cartoons still endure. And afterward please die of ass cancer for being a pathetic iconoclastic loser.
>>153734696Avatar was the best of them. It had relatable characters, a meaningful story, an original engaging premise, great world building, and good animation.What else was there at the time? Justice League? It was good, but the characters are hard to relate to, the stories are outlandish and short, and the premise is older than time.
>>153735035They tried too hard to push the manchildren out and the whole audience left
>>153734123"cartoonmercial" is a very good description for glitch productions output
>>153735035No, that's just what boomers say because in their minds cartoons are only made for children. And you've internalized their words and repeated it here like a trained seal.They do the same thing with videogames.Go back far enough and you'd have old people saying the same thing about television.It's just old people yelling at the clouds as young people's interests start to seem weird and scary to them. It will happen to you.
>>153735035Faggot
>>153735050>a meaningful story, >the stories are outlandish>and the premise is older than time.Retard
>>153735047>for it does not say anything about the quality of the showIt absolutely does. >We can't kill this character off, even though it makes sense for the story, because we need to sell toys>We have to keep adding a bajillion different characters that do nothing after their intro episode, so we can make merch of themIf your story is at the whims of the merchandise, then your story ends up neutered>Most 80s cartoons had strong storylines and compelling characterslmfao, they get rebooted to try and ride off of nostalgiabux and then get shitcanned after a single season because nobody watches them, picrel, which has been rebooted twice and failed both times
>>153735070Gee, I wonder if anything else happened to cable TV networks in the past decade. Some major shift in technology that might have diminished their audience.
>>153735160Nice cope
>>153735166Cartoon channels are the only ones affected this hard

>>153734123Ha, jokes on him. There are not even cartoomercials in 2026.
>>153733848What was wrong with JL and JLU?
Not THE not A golden era, sure. Given the success of these recent indie series we've likely entered into a second one right now.
>>153735261Adults are the most resistant to change.
>>153735562Wrong

>Cartoons didn't fall off. They all bought HBO max and they're watching the fungies, tig n seek, we baby bears, craig of the creek, elliott from earth, and summer camp island on HBO max where (you) can't see the metrics
>>153735562I can't even imagine the level of ignorance to say something this detached from reality. You straight up live in a hermetically sealed nuclear fallout shelter a mile under the earth.
>>153734123literally how Glitch operates
>>153735562Most of them are 1 episode long
>>153735035I did, which is why I started watching anime.
>>153735410Has any cable channel fumbled harder than Cartoon Network? They had a good thing going in the mid 00s and threw it all away because they thought they could surpass Nickelodeon by chasing live action programming. It completely destroyed their brand, permanently cost them viewership they never recovered. If not for Adult Swim, which had done a much better job of cultivating its core demographic, the entire channel might've gone down. AS remaining strong is what gave Cartoon Network another chance. And they fucking blew it betting everything on Adventure Time. Honestly, they deserved to fail. They should've failed 15 years earlier, but Adult Swim propped them up all this time.
>>153736141I sometimes wonder what would've happened if CN Real was never a thing, if they never cancelled Toonami, and instead of chasing live action decided that ATLA was the thing to imitate.
>>153736141>And they fucking blew it betting everything on Adventure Time.Nope, that was TTG and Steven Universe.
>>153736141Justin Roikand killed cartoon network?
>>153735562>Given the success of these recent indie series we've likely entered into a second one right now.Zoomers genuinely live in a completely different reality.
