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

I'm a true believer and even I have no clue who those are.

Then again I'm an old school true believer from back when the name marvel wasn't synonymous with, " bald neckbeard who can't keep his wide mouth closed."
Devil Dinosaur was initially created as a character for his own Marvel comic book series in the late 1970's, which soon fell to obscurity

While Moon Girl is a fairly recent character debuting in 2015 to replace his original sidekick Moon Boy, probably for the sake of Diversity.

Yeah fucking right bitch...
This is what happens when shills in the Cartoon Industry™ can not shill properly. Not even The Boondocks‘ last season was this embarrassing, and Aaron McGruder left on his own free will to make a show about Jesus being black in the streets of Compton.

Incidentally there are only two "critic" reviews, neither of them by "top critics."
Proving once and for all the iron-clad maxim: if a show/movie has a 100% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it fucking sucks.

Also Breana, FUCK OFF AND DIE (preferably by the very same niggers you claim to champion like that bake shop owner).

Gee its almost like animation is a medium you can't use to voice a topical opinion with, because it's a long drawn out process and what's topical and relevant one minute can suddenly change the next.
I mean, you can and still have it be topical, but you better be doing a South Park hell run. They are pretty much the only toon (non-online) to actually disprove this point.
 

Cancelled TV Shows that I Would Have Wished to See Continued (But Will Never Happen)

Continuing this post here.

Cartoon Network

The Looney Tunes Show

I'm not too sure if the series is popular with farmers in this thread because rather than go for a full-slapstick route, The Looney Tunes Show opted to become a sitcom with elements of slapstick (which is good because slapstick is becoming stale as a source of humor). To be frank, this is probably my favorite series in all of Cartoon Network. The first part of season 1 was not that memorable but the second part of season 1 is when the series started to realize what it's going for and season 2 is pretty much burned to my brain. I love all the twists with all the characters and how it worked within a suburban environment, especially with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck and their contrasts to each other and with other characters. The character development of each character is subtle, with the looniness of Lola Bunny (in contrast to the version of her in Space Jams), the gullible Porky Pig, and the no-nonsense Tina Russo affecting Bugs and Daffy to improve their flaws. I was honestly hoping that there will be a season 3 of the series, but after years of waiting, finally accepted that Cartoon Network will not bring it back. Also, the reason why Cartoon Network cancelled The Looney Tunes Show was because despite earning about 2 million viewers per episode, it was not Adventure Time numbers, and hence, it got canned.

Sym-Bionic Titan

Although I was not that big of a fan of the formula used by Genndy Tartakovsky in which each episode is a monster sent by the antagonist and our protagonists work together to form a titan to fight it, I think for its first and only season, it did well in setting up the characters and the universe. Man, the scene where Galaluna gets invaded though is top-notch awesome. It sucks that we will never know about Modula and what powers his hat (maybe it's mind-controlling him?) and we will never see Galaluna be liberated. There was also never a scene where one of the protagonists' fathers (who went missing) is actually the guy behind the secret glow-ops operation G3. It sucks because so much is set up for season 2 and Cartoon Network canned the series because of poor toy sales. Tartakovsky hopes with the success of Primal and the final season of Samurai Jack, that Cartoon Network will let him back in the reins of resurrecting Sym-Bionic Titan. Is he too optimistic?


ThunderCats (2011 TV series remake)

Does this count, when it was a Western-Japanese co-production? Despite never having watch the original Thundercats, I know the people behind it are very devoted to the source material, that they brought in the guy who voiced Lion-O in the original to be Lion-O's dad in the remake. This is also pretty much if Dungeons and Dragons was an animated series, and it was cool to see a group of fantasy warriors trying to rescue the Earth from an evil sorcerer that had destroyed their kingdom with technology. I think despite being more mature and sophisticated, the series will be able to captivate the child with the action scenes and the setting of Third Earth. Unfortunately, toy sales were pretty bad and it seemed that Cartoon Network and Warner Bros wanted the series to fail because of they gave it an inconsistent schedule and aired these episodes in fucking 2 AM, like what the fuck.


Green Lantern: The Animated Series

Although the series deviated from Bruce Timm's formula of a superhero series in which the series is an anthology with each episode dedicated to a villain, each season is dedicated to the protagonists defeating a villain in each season. It was cool seeing new Lantern Corp being built from the ground up like the hopeful Blue Lantern Corp and to see Razor's character development from a spiteful Red Lantern to a Blue Lantern. It was cool seeing Guy Gardner again and there was going to be an appearance with John Stewart, which would be awesome. The most I was hoping for was to see the Yellow Lantern Corp to rise and to see Sinestro as a villain, but thanks to poor toy sales because of the failed live-action film, the series was canned at season 2, where the two seasons deal with the rageful Atrocitus and the genocidal Manhunters. I feel Atrocitus and the Red Lantern Corp could be less one dimensional in the series but all the other characters are pretty on-point.


It's funny how the pinnacle of Cartoon Network was in 2011-2013 when all these series could have made Cartoon Network the face of Western cartoon animation for the next 5 years and an alternate route from the West Coast-esque atmosphere and art-style, like Adventure Time and Steven Universe, which doomed the network in the long run (I know The Looney Tunes Show took place in California but everything about it seemed applicable to all of America, not just the state). Now all they get is every series failing within years with barely any toy sales at all.

Fellows, let us discuss the optics of removing a subhuman ape-creature and substituting it with a black girl.

Very naughty, Marvel.

Funny, every so often I wonder if I should check it out, then the word 'sitcom' pops into my head and I nope out. I imagine this, played straight:


the no-nonsense Tina Russo affecting Bugs and Daffy to improve their flaws.

The nagging sitcom wife...

The only way Daffys flaws will be improved is if someone goes back in time to shoot Jones before his 'genius reinvention'. It's Chuck season!

Haha. Really shows you how propaganda the critics really are. Seeing the audience score gives me faith in humanity once again.

Sorry bitch I love the original and not this body snatcher version.

The Looney Tunes Show is nothing like that. It’s barely like the sitcoms of the modern era. I presume you watch Seinfield so think about that without the laugh track and it’s animated with anthropomorphic animals, that’s the Looney Tunes Show.
The nagging sitcom wife...

I would say it’s a cliche but there’s a more sensible reason why this is. The girlfriends of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck: Lola Bunny and Tina Russo, are literally the direct opposites of their boyfriends. Bugs is more of a chill and relaxed, a bit snarky, level-headed person (initially in season 1, he was a Mary Sue, but as the series progress and realize its identity, breaks down what make Bugs into a Mary Sue, making him a level-minded yet flawed character), compared to Lola Bunny, who is crazy, impulsive, clumsy, and a bit psychotic, which is what makes the series humorous. Daffy Duck on the other hand is a lolcow, he is Bugs’ housemate in the suburban house that they live in but he has no money, no job, and leaches off of Bugs for gibs. Daffy is arrogant, retarded, selfish, takes advantage of his friend Porky Pig, and has a lot of get rich quick schemes, which is the source of the humor in the series. Compare that to Tina Russo, who is yes, a nagger, but she works her butt off (in a copy place) and has gotten herself a home. Even so, Daffy’s character development is subtle so he doesn’t change after Tina’s complaints in the same episode but rather over a season, and the final episodes of season 2 proves it. I think you will heavily enjoy the chemistry.
