Not that it was a bad show, it was great in its early seasons. But it created the sentiment cartoons need to have some ongoing episodic plot to be engaging to viewers, and now there are a ton of cartoons following in its wake, trying to be just like it, to varying quality. Gravity Falls was good, the Ducktales reboot tried too hard. I can't take any of these shows seriously with their artstyle or the fact they're still made for children, yet try to be "adult" in a way. it's more like, cartoons shouldve always been like adventure time in the first place instead of mindless mush that resets every ep. --- https://imgur.com/geZ5deW f\|u\|t\|a -- My anti-drug <cite>Swagnet0 posted [p:955905489] in Looking ba...

It feels funny to sit down and watch some highly plot-driven shows, for a lone episode that ends in a cliffhanger every time, and where every episode just exists to pump up the next one. --- ()xxx[]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Vanquisher of Gadonuts & The Ghost o' Quakecon Yet To Come <cite>E_S_M_Z posted [p:955911274] in Looking ba...

Peak Simpsons/KotH, Disney Afternoon, One Saturday Morning, Kids WB, Fox Kids, Sonic SatAM, Nickelodeon had tons of cartoons instead of just Spongebob, most of CNs Cartoon Cartoons premiered (even if they bled into the 00s), anime gained a foothold, TMNT bled over from the 80s, etc Really, the death of Saturday Morning and after school cartoon blocks signaled the end of my childhood. <cite>Kami_no_Kami posted [p:955911435] in Looking ba...
