>The writing is respectful
Each to its own OP, I'll just say I find it modern. However, after you also showed additional serious clip besides all the comedic screenshots, I'm a bit more inclined to believe it. Anyway, good for you anon for finding something nice to watch in this dark age.
>It's like they played The Monarch from Venture Bros completely straight but they lost none of the charm in the process
Don't tempt me! Don't make it sound better than it really is! I will note that CGIshit Skeletor is probably the only character design in this show that I like and unfortunately and as expected, Mattel really dropped the ball with this toyline, they couldn't even be bothered to give Piranha Jaw his signature moving jaw action feature.

IMO both, though I admit the kids one is by miles better, but that's not saying much when the bar is set so low.

You can see it even more easily when there's an adult continuation to children cartoon such as Ren&Stimpy adult party and NuSamurai Jack season 5. The boundaries of children cartoons, or what wrongly may refer to as censorship, force creative writing unlike adult stuff when you have much free reign. Of course, it doesn't guarantee to result in a good cartoon, see this era and the 70's.

Indeed. Also, worth noting is how comics (for kids, of course) before the cursed CCA were darker and more violent without being mindless gorefest.
