I'd love to see another mecha show get made, you don't always need to go comedy with your show and always poke holes at tropes. Have the show play them seriously, have them show appreciation for the genre they're using. It's how something like Gundam has managed to remain popular through the years.

      The truth is that the creators have not been making animations for anyone (not even children) for several years. They just make a simple art style for all their new shows (which is copied from adult animations) to limit the views and ideas of what animation is and to lower the demands of the new generation born since 2007 and at the same time easier to satisfy them so. What do you think is the reason that all their new animations look the same and only stereotypically comedic?

  • @stardogsmasher6217

Ed Edd n Eddy, Teen Titans, Fosters Homes for Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo, Krypto the Super Dog. But that's Cartoon Network, so I also have strong feelings for other network shows like Spongebob, Jimmy Neutron, Fairly Odd Parent, Kim Possible, anything that people has fond memories of.

      I sincerely do not see that really being a good time to look at for nowadays. So many things were different back then. If Cartoon Network is going to make all the cartoon stuff for HBO Max, then their shows NEED an overarching story, plain and simple.
      I also think Teen Titans Go is completely contrary to their whole claim of going back. I think, if they really want to move forward by looking back, then they need to take their #1 show and go back to what that show is a reboot of. Season six of Teen Titans should happen. Even if it is just the one season, that is the best transition probably. Unfortunately, they canceled shows that could have been good foundation for this change. And I think they can only go out with a bang by looking backwards, unfortunately.

Now I saw some of the chapters as a teenager and I LOVED THEM due to how creative the humor was and i can see why people is dissapointed by the new one.
      Nostalgia can only do so much, in this case making us forget the mediocre and bad shows but still remember the good moments; what i'm saying is that there's stuff you can learn from those things that cause nostalgia, in this case how creativity can go a long way to make a show great while copypaste makes you forgettable.

It’s disappointing with the jump to streaming services that this creative medium of network branding in those forms, those time capsules of history, we’re not going to have them anymore. The day cable dies is the day that we lose the way we catalogue the histories of these networks. It’s just saddening to me. I’d love to have the old era of shows back, but I’ll be honest the bumpers make me the saddest. I don’t know if that’s silly, but it’s just unfortunate.

So many art styles, different people, the creative passion, ranging from the early 90s to around 2010 era. The problem with slightly modern CN shows (not all but some few) the company would focus more on profits and silly excuse claiming it needs to marketing instead of a captivating audience and their humble feedback. Shows that make you question if they truly were meant to be this long and not end the show much earlier.

    Pushing away all these audiences away after all these years is one of the major problems the channel sort of has. Acknowledge the others who grew up with your channel as well. Don't just move on and forget about the generations before.
    *But* I also want this new decade of cartoons to accomplish what other shows couldn't do or didn't do. Use the past decades of cartoons from the channel to achieve what it was able to do and what it couldn't do while also having it's own sense of style on the channel. Haven't been able to love any of the new stuff but I *would love* to be proven wrong :D

    As long as it's cheap and experimental (along with getting away from certain that was prevalent in the 2010's), you can sort of get that feeling back. You don't need the exact same thing, just the elements that made the old thing what it was, which forced to be cheap, but open to be experimental. As in get away from the thing, cal arts outlines and more ed edd n eddy and fosters and whatever else that stood out. What made CN unique was how experimental with its style vs something more in line that was nick or disney. Even adult swim just reused old animation and made something new. The old ATHF episode was pretty much photoshop in a sense. It's what made those shows stand out and it's what you remember...

    I think this is just another symptom of the death of an era in animation. I remember as a kid back in the 90's watching "What A Cartoon" and "2 Stupid Dogs", and the pilots for PPG, Dexter, Johnny Bravo, etc...
    The point is, animation then took a risk and went running the whole nine yards with it. Studios were willing to gamble and trust in the vision of their animators andnproducers rather than a bunch of out of touch, heartless board of investora.
    There has been promising pilots being made during the years, like Rocket Dog or Claire, but since studios care more about satisfying the ever fickle moneybags than to build a reputation for passion in animation, well... *it is the end of big screen programming as we know it.*

    Cartoon network used to have a certain vibe. That vibe was cultivated not by the main shows, but by the interstitial content. Instead of just a constant stream of content with no fanfare, they made the entertainment last into the commercial break, which helps viewer retention and loyalty. My personal favorite is when the characters were actual employees of cartoon network and chilled out together in a semi out of character situation. It wasn't in your face or directly trying to advertise something, it was world building within a 5-30 second long bumper. This whole design philosophy later birthed adult swim which still carries that torch to this day. Now everything is sterile and trying really hard to be relatable. This on top of the stale lineup lacks soul and viewers will just change the channel the moment they had enough.

I only remember it because as a kid i always used to be perplexed by how the yellow was made, because zooming really close to the screen you couldn't see yellow, only red green and blue lines, also zooming too close gave you electric static shocks, one of the reasons why i get scared of being close to screens. Anyway in DirectTV, it was 304 for Cartoon Network and 220 (i think) was TruTV, 204 was Fox, and uh, that's all i remember in DirectTV.

    I dunno about the 2010's. In the 90's and 2000's you could watch cartoon Network all day and have 20 different shows. 2010's felt like only 3 shows running over and over again.
    The old cartoon cartoons and segments that pretty much aired pilots with a "let's just throw new stuff on the wall and see what sticks" attitude was great for creativity.
    That's the time when some of the greatest cartoonists of our time like Genndy Tartakovsky started their career.
    I guess what I'm actually missing is Hanna-Barbera, their absorption into the Warner Bros. Animation was a great loss for the cartoon world.
    But besides HB Cartoon Network still had many shows from other studios including anime. I guess if everyone wants to make their own exclusive streaming platform
    a traditional TV station has to struggle for content.
    They could transform into a TV+streaming platform themselves and take on many small creators.
    Commission youtube animators for example to make one season of a cartoon for their TV channel/online library to spice things up, at least
    that's how I would do it.
    At least what Ouweleen says sounds promising. I'm not holding out an hopes, but maybe we might get positively surprised.
