The 2010s Anonymous 01/25/2022 (Tue) 17:48:06 No. 22523
The 2010s were the second worst decade in animation history The 1970s are objectively the worst The early 80s at least gave us classics like OG He-Man, Transformers, Heathcliff, The Smurfs, GI Joe and OG She-Ra The 2010s however gave us a lot of shit shows and those shit shows are worse than any shit shows in any other decade The early 2010s especially were miserable Aside from some gems like Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gumball, Gravity Falls and Steven Universe was shit shit after shit show >MAD >Planet Sheen >Hero 108 >Johnny Test >Total Drama >Fanboy and ChumChum >The Penguins of Madagascar >Monsters vs Aliens >Sanjay and Craig >Rated A For Awesome >The Legend of Korra (minus Book 3) >Uncle Grandpa >Sidekick >Fish Hooks >Kick Buttowski >Scaredy Squirrel >Problem Solverz >Secret Mountain Fort Awesome >Wild Grinderz >The Annoying Orange >Rabbids Invasion >Breadwinners
>>22523 Johnny Test was late 00's. Also, >Steven Universe >gem Is this supposed to be a pun? Because Steven Universe was shit. Beyond that, cool reddit spacing and Mr.Enter tier opinions, OP.

>>22523 Why is every sentence fragment treated as if it is its own paragraph? Each are clearly part of the same paragraph. Why are you also lacking any form of punctuation? Why don't you go back to where you came from?

>>22523 Is this bait or copypasta? I Swear I've seen this exact post before
>>22523 <Steven Universe was a shitty show for mental cases. Damn straight. Though at least both Johnny Test and The Penguins of Madagascar were actually watchable. Scaredy Squirrel was just to zany. But could have easily been worked into something better. Thing about Johnny Test was the show originally on aired KidsWB during its final days along side Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island as >>22524 pointed out. Planet Sheen was a mistake and became a bigger mistake the moment Alien Carl was introduced. If they wanted a Sheen and Carl spinoff, just have them stay on earth, trying to whatever urban legend, paranormal and small town shit.
>>22523 The 80s were basically just toy adverts it's not like they had good writing if you list a bunch of shit shows that doesn 't mean the whole decade is bad. Your picture is from a youtube video titled "Top 25 BEST Cartoons of the 2010s "

>>22557 >making fun of OP I just saw really retarded spacing while scrolling down.
>>22558 But ignored it in the OP immediately above. If you're gonna call anyone reddit it's obviously OP. Pay attention, faggot.
>>22559 Everyone was having fun teasing him so I let it be. Plus if I did leave a ban message someone would sperg regardless.
>>22560 But you didn't leave it be, you did post a ban message, just in an even dumber place.
>>22568 Because I saw even dumber spacing while scrolling by. But if it makes you happy I'll take the hit, faggotry's on my end.

>1970s >worst How? Sweatshop animators? The few decent shows from the 70's were Schoolhouse Rock, Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, Josie and the Pussycats, and Sabrina. What made the 70's supposedly the worst other than just cheap kid shows?
>>22523 I liked Mad. It had a better hit/miss ratio than the live show. The first season of Johnny Test was a weaker Dexter's Lab, but comparable. After that it was crap. Total Drama was good for what it was, a pisstake of the Survivor type shows where everybody gives you a reason to hate them and hope they lose. I haven't seen the others, so I can't comment on them.
>>22578 No entertainment value? Endless cookie cutter teen kids mystery solving shows? No budgets? I dunno there seems like a lot of reasons to hate the 70s cartoon era. Even the 80s only mildly improved by introducing toyetic action shows.

>>22579 >Total Drama was good for what it was, a pisstake of the Survivor type shows where everybody gives you a reason to hate them and hope they lose. I watched it to see just how far Chris was willing to go for ratings, and boy did he go far, turning a Survivor parody into a Saw parody.
>>22524 >Steven Universe >gem >Is this supposed to be a pun? No. For the trained eye, SU was absolute garbage, the animation barely worked besides some scenes that got higher attention, the plot became impossible to take seriously the more it asked you to take it seriously and the characters were awful people being sold as likeable. Yet, still, it was above most of the shit on that list. Is just that /co/ is made out of elitist fags whose bottom of the barrel is the top of the pyramid for many normalfags. The fact that season one of SU was... ok, already puts it above most shows. Shit, the only thing Korra has going for is it's animation and that alone already puts it in the top percentile. >>22523 >No Wonder over Yonder. >No Star vs (Until season 3 premiere) >No Over the Garden Wall OP is a faggot.
>>22628 >A show with awful artstyle, awful characters and an arguably shitty lore was ok. Korra was better then this shit, go kill yourself >You are an elitist Just because you eat shit and I don't like it, doesn't make an elitist. >>22523 >Only american cartoons Go kill yourself, unirronically. Albeit though, yes. America is the only one who has been making mass media, and I hate monopoly anywhere but you cannot just throw put the good shows. You'd be suprised how many quality shows were made in the Europe through the 70s and 80s. I would wish that germany atleast ally Ussr through ww2 so there would be a chance that nat-soc German mass media.
>>22523 Korra is better than everything you listed (with the exception of Gravity Falls, the kids cartoon of the 2010s imo) Though I agree the 2010s era is mostly crap compared to the 1990s and 2000s, to say its the second worst era ever seems hyperbolic to me. Was the 60s that much better than the 70s? are Heathcliff and the Smurfs really better than a lot of current shows like Star Vs or Wander over Yonder? Maybe its a generational thing (I was born in 1990), but for all the crap that CN, nick and Disney are currently churning out, I can name a lot more decent shows from this era than those that pre date the 90s.
>>28259 (I meant to write "best kids cartoon of the 2010s")
>>22523 >the 80s gave us a bunch of glorified toy commercials It's not the ringing endorsement you think it is.

>>28259 >Was the 60s that much better than the 70s? Yes, we went from Tom and Jerry and tons of great animated movies to Scooby Doo and 300 lazily done Hannah Barbera copycats.
>>22578 Golden age of cartoons and cinema getting the unnecessary sanitized reboot just to please soccermoms: >Looney Tunes >Tom & Jerry >Popeye >Three Stooges >Laurel and Hardy >Charlie Chan Not to mention how most original 60s and 70s cartoons left a lot to be desired.
>>22523 Wrong. The worst is this decade.
>>22615 Seeing those Tumblr Q&A by FreshTV was peak, they really showed that it's impossible to appease them retarded progs by having every race in the cartoon. >>46099 An era where everyone has to play it safe https://yewtu.be/watch?v=0lp-RL5-Wfo Can't believe Zaslav purged such masterpieces that everyone is talking about and left a mark in the world wide web, apparently reddit and twitter are the whole internet that "breaks" every few seconds
>>46099 I would say the 2010's and 2020's are /the worst/. There is no variety now, the consolidation of studios has directly lead to a neverending strezm of reboots and sequels, original features and series fail regularly due to partisan "talents" working on them or the general audience's lack of interest in new ideas, traditional animation and stop motion are all but dead, and in the background of it all a communist confederation of the mentally ill are intentionally torching down pop culture. I'll take the Snorks, the Super Seven, and The Penguin and the pebble over the shit peddled to us now anyday of the week. People beating a dead horse by pointing the finger to the 70's and 80's are overlooking the brightspots of the era. The Bakshi movies, the slow exposure of anime to the west, the rise of Japanese/Western co-productions, even those much derided and detested toy cartoons spumco-fags rage about so much opened the floodgates to better writing in the 90's. For every smurfs clone and scooby copycat you'd get some significant writer or animator's foot in the door (like Paul Dini or Milton Knight), and fwiw the goofy cheap cartoons of the 70's and 80's still have some funny and endearing moments. I'll never understand why people who shit on old HB, Filmation, or Ruby Spears styled shows have this retarded expectation that all televised animation should have stood toe to toe with the golden age theatrical shorts that preceded them when these two varieties of cartoons existed to serve different purposes and entertain different audiences. The theatrical shorts of yore are considered classics for a reason but buy and large were not intended for child viewing.
>>22524 Nigga, Gravity Falls, SU, Adventure Time and the others you mentioned as the exceptioms, ALSO SUCKED.

>Kick Buttowski >shit Please do not lump it in with all that garbage
>>51956 It's average at best, they tried way too hard catering to the skateboard/Tony Hawk wannabes audience though, not to mention Bob Camp lost his spark.
Why do kids like shitty unfunny “comedy” cartoons with ugly rig animation? I used to hate that stuff when I was a kid, yet somehow it replaced action cartoons and apparently it’s more popular with kids nowadays. What happened?
>>52191 Everyone hates it, the only people who watch TV cartoons nowadays are manchildren. >yet somehow it replaced action cartoons Because it's cheap, it's not that people like it, it's just that it completely flooded networks until it became the norm.
>>22524 Steven Universe, non-ironically, was the best cartoon of the entire decade in its first three seasons. Season 4 is okay, but Season 5 is definitely where the show jump the shark, and it only gets worse from there. SUF must be the worst Epilogue I have ever experience in my life.
>>53856 Yeah, I agree. I've heard the repeated sentiment too that if Steven Universe had been cancelled after the first couple seasons it would be way more positively remembered. It got a decent start, but just got worse as the seasons went on due to bad writing and ignoring what should be logical resulted of previous lore and plot. I think Season 3 is where it started going down hill, but if it had ended there it still would have been better. I get the impression they wrote themselves into a corner with the main villains being space dictators ruling over a rigid caste system and it didn't help the rebellion was revealed to be started by one of said space dictators out of what was basically boredom and feeling her sister dictators didn't respect her for being a child compared to them.
>>22523 AT's success was a double edged sword. In one hand, you had more ambitious creator-driven shows that could potentially do more with the medium without projects being restrained by executive meddling. On the other hand, the industry's internal politics led to the people in charge of these projects being a bunch of emotionally stunted millennials wasting such opportunities on shows about their quirky chungus, socially awkward self inserts going through young adult issues, complete with wacky nostalgia references, the female lead randomly turning gay and some stupid fucking ending that shits the bed because it was all an elaborate therapy session for them. To make things worse, execs still meddled with the projects anyways, pushing for more comedies over action cartoons and their usual toyetic bullcrap. It pushed away the veterans who could have salvaged this dogshit era. All of this happed as cable was declining because kids would rather watch Youtube and parents are more comfortable with streaming services where they don't need to sit through 30 minutes of ads or wait a week for the next episode of their favorite live action slop.
>>28280 God, I need to marathon MGM era T&J. What a perfect streak of quality shorts. Incredible animation, humor, sound direction and music. Even the occasional VA work added to the experience without it relying heavily on it like Flintstones or Looney Tunes. It's quality animation that transcends time and culture, the kind of shit we'll never get again. Not to shit on Hannah-Barbera, though. They're known for copy pasting the same idea over and over again but they did successfully adjust to television budgets and figured out how to work around stiff animation by relying more heavily on VA work.
What, no love for Dan Vs.? Also, add Summer Camp Island to the shit pile. Also also, how has no one ITT even brought up the fact that shitty 90s nostalgia reboots started being popularized in this decade?
>>53893 Dan Vs was a good show cursed to be overshadowed by the horse show just because of what channel it was on.

>>54003 The fact there are people still coping about: >Animation is a medium for all ages Yet the "mature" cartoons fail miserably to meet that expectation, remember Hell's Carnival? Remember SuperBeasto? I didn't, until Jewtube recommended them into my feed and those cartoons were meant to break the norm.
