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

I don't know if it was already revealed earlier but apparently there's a new Darkwing Duck in the works being done by Seth Rogen of all people.

While that’s probably true I’m also hearing that it was cancelled due to low ratings. It’s also worth noting that Frank Angones had ideas ready for a possible 4th season like introducing DWD’s Morgana to the series.

I was just about to post that, I’m glad to see there are folks keeping up with this.

That said it’s been rumored for a while but I believe this is the first confirmation of it being legit. I wonder how Angones feels about not getting to work on it considering he’s a big DWD fan...
 
I thought it was more that Disney tends to stop shows after 3 seasons, after that they become more expensive, or something. But of course the ratings are going to be bad with 6 month hiatuses.

It's a shame, DT17 was the last western cartoon I was invested in. I don't know if I can do another.

The network switch probably didn't help, nor the "large portion of the crew leaving" news I heard. Still, though, don't these kids’ shows know how to translate their YA novel reading adult fandom’s mental illness into a profitable parasocial relationship anymore?

I believe you're talking about the 65 episode rule Disney had in effect in the early-mid 2000's, where no show on the network was to go beyond that number of episodes. Of course, there's been exceptions with shows like Kim Possible and That's So Raven, just to name a few. In fact, those shows were the reason the rule was (for the most part) abolished, since they were really popular.

But in reality, the cut-off point of 65 episodes has more to do with programming schedules than any personal feelings about a series on the part of studio executives. With 65 episodes, one episode can be broadcast each weekday, reaching the 65th episode at the end of the 13th week (5 x 13 = 65). Thirteen weeks is one quarter of a year. Four 65-episode shows can be broadcast in a calendar year.

The 65 episode rule isn't just a Disney thing either, it's been done on other shows on other networks too, as it's the minimum number needed for a show to be syndicated.

Not only that, but the show has a good 78 episodes in the can once it ends if you split the two two-parters up. The original lasted 100 episodes. Regardless of whatever feelings one might have, that's still more than enough episodes to rerun regularly in terms of pure business practice.

And we have another show biting the dust, DuckTales (2017) has been canned.

Well it lasted roughly as long as the original (1987-1990) and there's a darkwing duck reboot on the way....say you ever heard the theory that time is an infinite loop and events that already happened can repeat just with different variables each time it does.

This anti-racism shit is literally anti-intellectualism. The argument is basically a conspiracy theory that there exists unknown important black people who were hidden by evil whites due to racism. There is no actual proof of it, nor any other names instead of one black person who had work related to a known invention, with the apperant rationalization that black people having a part in an invention makes it a "black" invention, so it's racist to credit it as anything else.
It then flaunts its ignorance at history by claiming that there are groups in history that had black members, fully admitting the creators immediately assume every historical entity is purely white because they are retarded motherfuckers.

Given that Pearl looked pretty heavily down on humans in general, maybe she’s not the best one to deliver this message.

Pearl's basically fucking humans on the regular as of the end of Future IIRC. That shot you have there is from an episode that actually deals with historical inaccuracies, funnily enough.
