But at the same time, if SpongeBob is powerful, you'd expect the Avatar characters to be powerful as well as they should appeal to older and younger people (Avatar is basically an American anime. TONS of people have watched/rewatched it on Netflix).Isn't that exactly why it shouldn't be surprising to see the Avatar characters flop? I know that ancillary exposure helps the show skew older than other popular Nickelodeon productions, but I'd think that's more along the lines of teenagers/young adults, or at least people who were teenagers/young adults when it first aired. If anything, I'd guess the anime aesthetic/association is a turnoff to that 35-54ish demographic that seems dominant on The Ringer. As for SpongeBob, I'd think he's strong for the same reason Pikachu presumably was in their video game character contest: voters probably aren't personally attached, but he became a respected symbol anyways through sheer exposure. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people who do." she/her or they/them | never knows what to say ...
