So are modern episodic cartoons just not allowed to be anything but slice of life comedies?We've had numerous serialized shows taking up the mantle of "the next Avatar" or "the next Gravity Falls" but I've yet to see any episodic cartoon that's even within an iota of "the next Samurai Jack" or "the next Batman TAS"
>>153768120Avatar is overrated TMNT was better
>>153768120You're old and things are never going to be the way they were when you were a kid. Episodic is a dead format, streaming killed it. It was always a crutch to prevent casual viewers from getting confused if they didn't catch the previous episodes. Now that the majority of shows are on streaming, there's no need for this anymore. Showrunners can finally afford to tell stories that don't have to be resolved in a 20 to 40 minutes timeframe.
>>153768224Nope
>>153768244Do you really believe that shit like ATHF or Beavis and Butt-Head would be serialized if they were made today?
>>153768244/threadThe fact that kids flocked to anime as soon as it became easily accesible was the final nail in the coffin for episodic action series.
>>153768505>The fact that kids flocked to animeKids are addicted to social media and videogames most of them don't give a fuck about anime unless they have weeb parent that forces them to watch it, the few cartoons they enjoy watching are 3D which is scientifically proven to be their preferred animation style.
>>153768953Kids need more beatings.
>>153768953Their 2D options all look like this
>>153768991No, fag
>>153769058They also prefer 3D over anime as we saw with Zootopia 2
why does modern /co/ feel like it’s flooded with famicom types who just constantly lie for no reason
>>153769093Why were the metrics for Transformers Earthspark, Star Trek Prodigy, Zombies Reanimated, and Max and the Midknights so shit
>>153768953Right, ignore all the sales figures that show that boys and girls 8-15 are all watching anime, reading manga, and actually buying merch ten times as much as western comics and cartoons
>>153769312Does feel like that doesn't it?
>>153769366Exceptions to the rule.>>153769424Can't ignore something that doesn't exist
>>153769761The rule being Cocomelon and Nick jr
>>153768224Sorry, TMNT Is for babies now. And if you complaint it means you are a seething manchild according to normies.
>>153770296Cute
>>153770296Are half of them still rob paulsen?
>>153769366They all suck.>>153770032In a few years there is gojng to be a major study on the effects of cocomelon on infanrs minds. Its going to sound the alarmIts going to reveal what everyone akready knows. It's an e-drug. They are hooking children on what us essentially electronic crack.Like porn before itLike gambling addiction now with loot boxes. Its going to be banned in euro countriess and china soon after.
