      Very true. Theres more to it than just the WBD merger and david zaslav and the people that work with him but CN in recent years hasnt been open to fresh ideas and theyve given up their regular time slot to adult swim. So not alot of new shows are able to air in the evening anymore. Also from what ive heard from people is Cartoon network doesnt always market their new shows so its hard for anyone to know whats new if theyre not hyping their shows up.

      @@SilverScribe85 I feel like the saddest part about this all is that even if they did somehow by miracle fired/got rid of him or someone assassinated him (just like Brian Tompson), it’d make no difference. It won’t change anything. It won’t bring back any of the shows or movies that got canceled or written as tax write-offs. It won’t make WBD any better. And there’s a strong chance that there won’t be a CEO who will fix WBD and bring back everything. If anything, I except WBD to get worse from here on out and beyond with no signs of getting better any time soon and with a strong chance of going bankrupt (and so should you). All hope is lost. In the end, Zaslav still wins. He’s literally the Hitler of the entertainment industry 😞

Max should ideally be the streaming home of CN/WB cartoons but shows have licenses that need to be paid and renewed, and WBD's higher ups don't see animation as profitable, however WB has had bad management even before Discovery came into the picture.

    Thank you for the hard work you've put into this video. As someone who's in the industry as an educator, I think that it's long overdue to move away from the corporate chock hold that the animation and gaming industries are under. No new shows mean no new jobs, and a lot of really talented and experienced folks have been out of work for years. Imaging going to college, having mountains of debt and not being able to get a job with the field you studied!
    Animation and games do not need a corporate environment in order to thrive. The main reason why these industries are failing is that they are no longer taking chances on new ideas, and they no longer want to invest in talent. Outsourcing has dismantled these industries, and corporate America has made it impossible for new ideas to be green lit. They want to continue banking on old ips, but not allowing the artist to have complete creative control.
    Indie is thriving because of the freedom to create and the community behind these projects. People will support what they like but it's up to us to educate them on what's happening and how can things be changed. CN isn't the same as it was when we were growing up, and we have to accept that. We need to stop supporting corporations that do not support its artist.

    This is why I switched to Adult Swim around mid-2023.
    WBD doesn't screw them over half as hard as they do to CN.
    For one thing, AS actually DOES respect animation and will let the creators cook for as long as they need, and even when one of their shows gets yanked from Max, it'll be put up on their website for free with no cable signup.
    Adult Swim is basically the only major remaining bit of CN that's left at this point, so we better cherish it before Zaslav possibly gets an idea to head for them next after there's nothing left from CN to shoot down anymore.

    • @Goldstar_
      @Goldstar_ 7 днів тому +7

      Adult Swim is Cartoon Network. AS is only treated as a separate entity for advertising purposes.
      Warner Brothers is hesitant to run anything new under the CN label because they don't think that kids are watching TV anymore. Hence why every original idea now gets pushed to AS, but AS is seen as a niche adults only brands and thus puts a limit on what can be shown there.

    @AJ-xc4qe 7 днів тому +22

    This comment is long so please here me out. This era for kids media has been a fucking mess and the kids networks in general have been going on a slow downward spiral. Like how they’ve cancelled everything except the nostalgic stuff. Craig of the Creek was already on their own way out but it wasn’t enough and made them shorten the final season.
    The only explanation that makes sense to me about why Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network massacred most of their shows is because kids don’t watch cable anymore. And they believe that the only people left still watching them are millennials who grew out of the demographic who still talk about them. All three networks got rid of all the shows that those millennials wouldn’t care about (but I’m an adult millennial and I loved some of those shows) and brought back shows they loved when they were kids.
    It’s why Bunk’d and Raven’s Home were the only live action shows that Disney Channel let end on their own terms and the only two “new” live action shows are also sequels: Wizards Beyond Waverly Place and Alice In The Palace. It’s why Adult Swim took up more and more of Cartoon Network’s schedule time and opens every “night” with Checkered Past, a block of reruns of Cartoon Network classics.
    Sure, there are a couple actual original shows from all networks combined that are in production, but who’s to say that even they don’t also get shunted to make room for sequel shows? I’m just saying, good luck Rock, Paper, Scissors fans. Cuz it’s the only wholly original non franchise show that Nickelodeon has now that people seem to like. Yeah, screw you, Tyler Perry.

      Stop blaming everything on Zaslav. He's not responsible for everything that happens at WBD. There are other factors at work here, namely poor vision, poor management and an industry in flux. Yes, changes need to be made at the top, but stop acting like getting rid of one guy is going to magically fix everything. There are A LOT of things within WBD and the animation industry as a whole that need to change and be rethought.

They can't rely on venture capital anymore, so they have to change to please their customers, who've been turning away due to what these companies have done to those IPs. When these companies have become financially stable, then they experiment with new ideas without having to fear major losses. But for now, they're playing it safe--hence, not many new shows.

    It's kinda easy to forget just how expensive cable TV had become around the time that Netflix started creating original shows. It's still expensive, btw. Sure, most people have to choose one or two streaming services because having them all is just as expensive as cable. Warner Animation has to have the chutzpah of James Gunn to take risks and gain clout.

    If you want all of this to happen, stop requesting it on social. Call Warner Brothers, call cartoon network or email them not their social. That does nothing. You have to contact THEM directly and not the 20 year old they're underpaying to read all of your comments so THEY don't have to, but if you call or email them directly then they will be forced to listen. No one posted on governors socials when tiktok was getting banned, they got calls!!!

    Helluva Boss is filling all the void for me. In so many ways, story, animation, characters and music, I don't think I've ever seen a show of this quality under the wing of any studio, at least in the West, and definitely never so free, in general, :/. (I don't care if you don't like the show, random stranger, go watch your angry child brain obsessively superficial and opinionated animation commentator to get him to agree with you on how Vivzie particularly owes you for her doing the show she wanted with the characters she wanted, and on how she has particularly offended you for not doing your best option of your fanfiction for her creative project). As a classical animator there are many projects on UA-cam that I am interested in seeing grow in the same way, such as Lackadaisy. (Edit) Hulu is it reliable????

Getting rid of the CN website, canceling upcoming projects, removing certain shows from MAX, etc. The only original they have is Iyanu and I’m genuinely worried that show wouldn’t get much advertising and attention. Most of their upcoming projects are revivals which is not a bad thing but the fact that the only original they have is Iyanu and the rest are revivals is pretty baffling to me.
