A cartoon like Silver Hawks, He-Man or Thundar the Barbarian would necessarily have to be dumbed down and made "funny" and "cutesy" in order for it to be sucessful in this day and age. All we're really doing, is trading bad PTC-limited 1980s writing for bad sponsor-catering 2010s writing, while simplifying the drawing so the korean animation sweatshop studio can squirt it out cheaper. What's PTC? There is an underarching theme here, the 80s cartoons were "serious". They're meant for young kids, but that doesn't mean there can't be a good guy, a bad guy, and something serious at stake (e.g. the galaxy, the planet, etc).
