That, based off of this awesome cartoon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLrSWWX07Qw" data-time="


Which then was fantastically rebooted into this cartoon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_laIqHt7JWA" data-time="


And that reboot in 2011 was canceled after one fucking season. Yet they greenlit that pile of fucking trash lol. Cartoon Network is THE worst network on television.

There's so much evil in the world.

yeah. Kids prefer this trash.

Hopefully this generation of kids gets obfuscated by the generation after. There's seriously nothing redeeming about them. Shit music like mumble rap, garbage cartoons like this, rehashed MCU/Disney movies, dependent upon technology.

Fact: cartoon companies don't have an obligation to cater to your feelings
Also fact: they drop most shows when they stop being profitable

Doesn't explain why the fairly oddparents went on like 20 years since there was very little merchandise after the first few years but I guess commercial revenue factors heavily into that

Kids don't really play with toys anymore, and toy sales tend to be what drives action cartoons. As such, there's now more of a focus on zany comedy in modern cartoons.

Kids don't know what thundercats are

So how does making a Go-esque comedy of them make sense. How does tacking the IP on help

Imagine getting so angry about a cartoon clearly not intended for you.

The 2011 reboot was cancelled because you man babies would rather complain on the internet about your ruined childhoods than watch the actual fucking show.

I never understood why action cartoons need toy sales to survive and comedy cartoons don't.

I guess 'cause action cartoons are more expensive?

But there's other kinds of merch to sell other than toys.

Most of them don't. There's so much competition every season and the only results that matter are how much expensive shit the IP manages to sell after the slight boost in popularity.

Now Kamen Rider and Super Sentai (Power Rangers) do make their living off toy merch and movie tickets, but they've been doing it for decades.

Good enough. Has some garbage like Mr. Pickles but also has some good stuff, mostly the live action.

CN in a nutshell:

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/008/647/8c0.png

Never watched Thundercats, as it was before my time, but that art style permeating and spreading to everything is god awful. Same with "OMG solo zany and wacky and random lololol" humor.

I totally can understand where the hate and disgust is coming from.

Having grown up watching Thundercats, what purpose does this serve? It insults the people that grew up with it to provide what appears to be another braindead, no-point, mindless comedy cartoon for kids who have no idea what the IP is.

Don't get it.

I didn't even like Thundercats that much, but I'm still dumbfounded as to why they actually thought this was a good idea.

I'd imagine they looked at the 2-3 other CN shows in this art style, and, thinking people enjoyed them and wanted more of it, commisioned a reboot. And they're probably legitimately shocked at the unanimously negative reaction because the echo chamber was so strong.
