Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

So Nickelodeon has decided to reboot Monster High for the second time, bringing in not only an animated series but a live action movie musical for both the channel and Paramount+.
The one thing everyone is creaming their pants over right now is Frankie Stein now officially being a non-binary who uses they/them pronouns. Barely over a decade and they’re already pulling this…

Ah, wait I get it, a Frankenstein monster is made of parts from different people so in theory the "they/them" works for this character. I got to wonder if the writers stumbled upon this by accident because I don't think they are this clever.

Things get rebooted a lot quicker nowadays, don't they? The franchise was maybe a decade old...

I remember saying something similar when Ben 10 got a hard reboot. We’re at the point where late zoomers’ and generation alpha’s childhood is being rebooted before they even hit college.

I cant believe I never checked this out before, as moronic and out of touch AS can be with their executive decisions sometimes they can strike real gold. People say they wont screw over Tartakovsky in some way but i sadly wouldn't hold my breath, If anyone can screw over its content creators its them. They rival Viacom in that regard.

As Told By Ginger is still an under appreciated cartoon, in my opinion. Yes, you all can make ginger jokes, but you don’t really see ginger kids with freckles on children’s cartoons anymore.

They’ve gone out the same way redheads did. *sigh*

Sad. I suppose that's one of many fatalities we are bound to witness in our lifetime. (:_(

The Alvin and the chipmunks version of Frankenstein had more dignity than this, and keep in mind that version despite being an "official " crossover with universal pictures. Was still based on the concept of Frankenstein most people who've only HEARD of the story think it's about. (mad scientist, creepy castle, angry mob with pitchforks and torches. Ect)

EAH has so many tall tales, fairy tales, and stories for them to use (I enjoy seeing twists and new takes on stuff like this). It's too bad there was more that could be done.

Exactly.

One of the things, that bugged me was the premise of it. I support wanting to change your destiny but no one before Raven Queen thought of that? Not even her mother, the current Evil Queen? Or the other Evil Queens before them?

You see where I’m going here?

I really want to see how they'll tackle this in the future spanish dub, since you can't pull a theythem as easily as you can in english without sounding uncanny, all thanks to spanish being a gendered language.
What will they use? Ellas?/elles?ellx?

Some believe it's because of the WB/Discovery merger and the new CEO's crusade to cut costs across the board. They did stop production of all scripted shows on TBS and TNT.

I'm also thinking the same thing, Close Enough seemed to be doing well, the only explanation for this has to be to cut costs. JG Quintel also has a good reputation, so I can't see him being the reason for the show being axed either.
