Adventure Time is a masterpiece and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise IRL.
Much respect to late 90s/2000s Cartoon Network, though. Courage was exceptional.
God Regular Show was so good. I didn't discover it until like 2016 at the age of 25.
The guy who made it has an hbo show now that's basically to being a millennial parent in their early thirties what regular show was to being a millenial youth
Sweet, I didn't know that! I'll put that on tonight.
Who the fuck thinks Adventure Time and Ben 10 were bad?
I mean, one could be forgiven at looking at season 1 and think AT is not all that special.
One could say that about The Simpsons, too.
Hell, half of these "good" shows were fairly basic and formulaic inside their first season. It wasn't until the tropes were established that anyone ever really got to play with and explore them.
I do agree that time was the Golden Age, but Cartoon Network had, by all accounts, a solid Silver Age too with stuff like Adventure Time, Regular Show, Chowder, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Amazing World of Gumball, etc.
lmao that was due to the writer's strike so they had to start doing a bunch of shitty reality tv. I remember one show being about eating a bunch of funnel cake and trying to ride on a roller coaster without puking or something.
I just saw a ST lower decks video and the animation style was identical to the past 22 times i was shown animation in the past 5 years.
Swat Kats was my favourite, imagine if instead of Batman, you had cats with a badass fighter jet
I like how this implies that "Dude, What Would Happen" is the death of Cartoon Network, when in reality, CN Real ended up just being some failed experiment, and I think any exec at the network who seriously tries reviving it would just get laughed out of the office.
It's already being functionally reinvented on Netflix and Disney+
Rather than a channel dedicated to children's television, we simply have a digital warehouse full of remastered and recycled 80s-era cartoon ideas.
