Unpopular Opinions About Western Animation

[Shokew]

Voltron Force, for all its starting faults, was pretty good in the later part of the show and had a lot of cool concepts and ideas. I particularly liked the Haggarium poisoning thing going on with Sven, his son, and Daniel. It could also get decently funny. I never understood the sheer amount of hate it got.

Yeah... But it is better than Voltron Legendary Defender? If so, how much? I remember not liking Voltron Force all that much, so I'm asking you to sell me on this a little. Then again, VLD was pretty much SJW TRASH, something that's clearly a fact, so...

I'd say they were both pretty equal, honestly.

Both are have definite faults (Force with it's mediocre animation and varying quality in episodes, VLD with the janked up storylines in the later seasons and the pandering) but both have redeeming qualities, enough so to make them pretty average but still fun to watch. I liked how Force explored different ideas such as Haggarium poisoning and its affects on the victim, Sven's exile, Voltron falling from grace, and pretty much everything to do with Lance. VLD had really good animation and fight scenes, solid writing for the first two seasons, and I enjoyed the characters' chemistry with each other.

Though it's hard to compare them, since one is a sequel and one's a reboot. I like them both, though. Neither are masterpeices by any means, but they're both fun.

Valid reasoning - thank you.

Although, it seems Force has benefited from not having a toxic fanbase or any major drama surrounding it.

Every episode of Superjail is the same: The Warden comes up with a wacky idea and 90% of the prisoners die.

And yet, it's still fun to watch sometimes when you just need a good distraction, unlike some other popular shows out there, at least to me, of course.

Except for one or two, yeah pretty much. The appeal is the absurdity of the visuals, and the wonderful animation. It knows exactly what it wants to be and it does a damn fine job of it.
Formulaic doesn't inherently equal bad, and Superjail doesn't last long enough to wear out it's welcome. As it stands I think it is the only Adult Swim show I can watch multiple times and enjoy fully each viewing.
If Moral Orel's season 1 wasn't so bad though it would be tough competition.

Pryde of the X-Men (Wolverine's voice aside) is the best adaptation of the comics to animation for X-Men.

Robotech was better than most of the cartoons from the 80s, and is only remembered negatively because weeaboos hate that it's basically an animated Power Rangers.

Animated Power Rangers? What?

Were we watching the same show?

I meant by being a hodge-podge of licensed material repurposed for American audiences, not in story style/themes.

Even though the last attempt to bring The Boondocks back for another season was ass I kind of want them to try again purely so they can put Ruckus in a MAGA hat and mass trigger idiots who are unfamiliar with the character.

Just watch an otherwise actually good show get shat on for stupid reasons (other than the writing quality dipping royally on its own in S4.) because of that, too...

I have one from the legend of Korra. Nothing wrong with Korra being a lesbian on her show.

But it did feel like they did it as last second change for the sake of being woke. Just feels odd how she went from a heterosexual that cucked her friend to a lesbian without them actually make it make sense. So them becoming a couple felt less like a well-developed relationship and more like them doing it for shock value.

Avatar is overrated as fuck. It's good, it's not the second coming of Jesus.

Steven Universe is a black hole of autism.

Courage the Cowardly Dog was decent, but was never scary. Most people just won't take off their nostalgia goggles.

90s X-Men was better than Batman TaS

I unironically liked Nickelodeon's Doug.

This also bothers me with the way people write some bisexuals. It's like they're all into one gender for a long time and near the end of the series they suddenly love someone from the other gender. That's not how bisexuality works.

It's because [those] people reee when a bisexual character gets in a hetero relationship, because that makes them "fake elljeeebeetee".

I tried watching it a few years back because no one would shut up about it and gave up about 5 episodes in when I realized I hated the characters and the "comedy" was painfully unfunny.

Courage the Cowardly Dog was decent, but was never scary. Most people just won't take off their nostalgia goggles.

I was really young when that show came out, and I remember it scaring the shit out of me (specifically the "Return the slab" thing). Now I just see it as black comedy.

tfw you were watching courage constantly but never actually scared of it like others somehow were

I just watched Missing Link. And I have decided that even a below-average Laika film is miles above most feature films that the other Western animation studios put out.
