Animation Hot Takes

[DivineAura44]

Agree to disagree with the Avatar take.

Avatar is just not my kind of cartoon ig. I'm a episodic kind of guy, so I guess it just doesn't appeal to me that much.

I think episodic shows went from overhated to overrated but like you said, agree to disagree.

 

[Gilad_Hyperstar]

I think we'll just agree to disagree regarding ATLA. I think it's amazing but each to their own opinions

Really? I thought episodic shows got hella hate. The cartoon community eats up these serialized shows (The Owl House and Amphibia) but tend to dismiss episodic shows (Big City Greens and The Ghost and Molly McGee).

 

[DivineAura44]

I'm trying to find a way to say old cartoons are overrated nostalgia based cartoons and current cartoons are overhated without getting slaughtered.

But you gotta admit, they really don't make cartoons like they used to back then

Nah most people you come by will just say Regular Show and Gumball solos but of the ones who do have an opinion they prefer episodic. Like a 7 episodic show can edge out a 7.5 serialized one just for the fact that it's episodic.

Heavily disagree.

Teen Titans is better than most cartoons these days.

 

[DivineAura44]

I think Late 2000's - Mid 2010's was peak cartoons but most people are gonna go on about how Darkwing Duck and Rugrats were the best show since sliced bread. Cartoons back then addressed topics relative to that period of time. This is why newer shows focus more on inclusion than morality.

I mean I'd agree but Teen Titans was better than most cartoons back then as well.

That actually depends though

Gumball isn't even a serialized show. It's more so 70% episodic 30% serialized. There are some serialized elements to it, but most episodes are self-contained.

I do agree that most people you'll come by will say that Serialized >>>>>>> Episodic. I don't know if people with "an actual opinion" considers episodic better, but I'll take your word for it.

Straight cap. Specifically the Late 2000's. Everyone knows that 2009 CN was one of the darkest time periods for that company. There were only a few redeeming qualities about that time period. I somewhat agree with Mid 2010's though.

 

[Propellus]

But then again, usually people would prefer episodic cartoons than just plain cartoons that are just pure toon force with no actual plot around it

 

[RandomGuy2345]

This joke is legit better than most animated comedies nowadays.

Facts.

No one talks about how Popeye was a good cartoon. They just talk about how OP he is.

 

[Shadyboi0]

L.O.S.E is peak fiction

And bayformers is good

I never said it was. I was making a joke saying most people would just change the topic to how Gumball and other shows were better. Well people with an actual opinion is actually just people who don't just say older cartoons are better honestly.

Who's gonna tell him bangers like Total Drama: Island and Regular Show were late 2000's shows?

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Johnny Test is peak fiction.

 

[Propellus]

But then again, usually people would prefer episodic cartoons than just plain cartoons that are just pure toon force with no actual plot around it

For one, the Boondocks is one of adult comedy sitcoms but has no toon force at all. Which most other does

 

[DivineAura44]

Johnny Test is peak fiction.

I used to believe that but I rewatched it and the later seasons just didn't hit the same.

 

[Shadyboi0]

Johnny Test is peak fiction.

Nah, it's technically classified as Ascended Fiction

 

[RandomGuy2345]

I never said it was. I was making a joke saying most people would just change the topic to how Gumball and other shows were better. Well people with an actual opinion is actually just people who don't just say older cartoons are better honestly.

I genuinely think that older cartoons are better for the most part, but there are modern cartoons that are great, so I can see your point.

Who's gonna tell him bangers like Total Drama: Island and Regular Show were late 2000's shows?

Regular Show was made in 2010 goofy. Total Drama is valid, though.

Matter of fact...

2009 CN wasn't that bad. And I'll explain why soon.

 

[DivineAura44]

For one, the Boondocks is one of animes but has no toon force at all. Which most other does

1. Fixed
2. It is episodic but it does have overarching stories.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Seasons 5 and 6 are ass.

Just watch Seasons 1-4 and you'll understand why I say that.

Did you watch the Netflix reboot?

It was created in 2009. It was on CN in 2010, goofy.

TPOT (Admittedly based on a small sample size) > Inanimate Insanity II > BFB Pre-Split >>> BFB Post-Split

 

[DivineAura44]

Just watch Seasons 1-4 and you'll understand why I say that.

Did you watch the Netflix reboot?

Well we can't just ignore 2 whole seasons. And I watched the reboot but dropped it after 2 episodes. I was not ******* with the way they changed the opening.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

It was created in 2009. It was on CN in 2010, goofy.

Exactly. It was on CN in 2010, so it doesn't count goofy.

 

[Shadyboi0]

2009 CN wasn't that bad.

Ed ,Edd n Eddy had its film + AF S2

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Well we can't just ignore 2 whole seasons. And I watched the reboot but dropped it after 2 episodes. I was not ******* with the way they changed the opening.

The intro is ass, but if you can ignore that, it's actually a good show, and it does improve on the last 2 seasons of the original show.

I'll change my opinion to this:

Seasons 1-4 of Johnny Test is peak fiction.

 

[Pikaman]

TPOT (Admittedly based on a small sample size) > Inanimate Insanity II > BFB Pre-Split >>> BFB Post-Split

I’ve loved everything about BFDI since it’s inception but I just... stopped watching BFB after the first few post-split episodes. It just lost all its complexity

 

[DivineAura44]

Exactly. It was on CN in 2010, so it doesn't count goofy.

Regular Show was made in 2010 goofy.

Can't tell if you are trolling or not.

 

[Shadyboi0]

Seasons 1-4 of Johnny Test is peak fiction.

Was 5-6 those stupid race episodes?

 

[Propellus]

What happened to the old artstyle/animation of BFDI and BFDIA? They looked so much better then

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Anyways here are some of the shows that were on CN in 2009:

Johnny Test
Chowder
Flapjack
Total Drama
Ben 10

That's just naming a few. Now here's what current CN has now:

Teen Titans GO!
DC Superhero Girls
We Baby Bears
Craig of the Creek

...Yeah. People need to stop hating on 2009 CN.

Can't tell if you are trolling or not.

Who knows at the end of the day?

Was 5-6 those stupid race episodes?

Yes. The shit was ass.

 

[DivineAura44]

I want to watch Battle for Dream Island but it just looks boring as hell.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

I want to watch Battle for Dream Island but it just looks boring as hell.

My exact thoughts.

 

[DivineAura44]

RR is top 3 Total Drama seasons and WT> Island. Fight me.

 

[DivineAura44]

My exact thoughts.

Ong, no cap, or fr fr?

 

[Propellus]

That's just naming a few. Now here's what current CN has now:

Teen Titans GO!

We Baby Bears
Craig of the Creek

Wait that show actually exists? Wtf?

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Ong, no cap, and fr fr.

Wait that show actually exists? Wtf?

Sadly yes. The show isn't that bad, though.

I also forgot to add that shows like Pokemon DP were airing on CN around 2009, so even more reasons as to why 2009 CN is nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be.
