Why can't we have stories where the mc happens to be asian and instead of making asian an entire focal point of their identity? I feel like so many shows would be better that way.
These all explored identity just as much as Raya or the red panda period piece but even the weaker series were somewhat watchable because all of that came second to making a kids cartoon
Fascinating. The example show is adult animation. It looks like shit because it’s just the creator passive aggressively venting about their own neuroses. And here we are comparing it to mediocre family shit, saying that that stuff is better because it still had to be a family adventure story, bullshit or no.
It’s highlighting the fact that there isn’t anyone pulling the chain in on adult programs. They seem to have free rein to be as self indulgent as they care to. Nobody is telling them, fuck you, just be a sitcom/cop show/soap opera/whatever. And they’re the worse for it.
I think we are seeing why grown ass adults are still watching children’s programming on such a huge scale. It’s the only stuff with any modicum of quality control
