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

[A Grey Cat]

So the Primos situation can be summed up as this?
I've seen this meme a few years ago and it never stopped being relevant.

Funny enough, I belive you could use the same concept only with blacks in animation. On the left is harmless chipper black boy or girl with glasses and a non threating light brown skin saying how much they love school and geeky stuff and are happily raised by two successful black or mixed race parents. On the right is tyrone/Shawna with dreads and dark skin who loves hip hop and proud of his/her strong single mom raising him/her.

Because to reiterate what I said before. There hasn't a true to life representation of what the little blacks are like in real life since the boondocks. From craig of the creek to hazel in the all new fairly odd parents, blacks are pretty much the ideal vision of what white America wanted them to be back in the day. Friendly, non threating and maybe slightly rebellious in a strive to be seen as no different from "white folks."

Honestly I wouldn’t give it a chance on the artstyle alone. Something about it just feels so…grimy.

Because black people utterly love Magical Negroes.

This isn't your average everyday beanmouth. This is... advanced beanmouth.

Have you noticed how EVERY complaint about real kids shows like Teen Titans Go seems to just be about how it's not the same show they watched as kids? The "cartoon community" has a really, really, big problem with grown-ass men and women having the entertainment pallet of a 10 year old and demanding that the shows made for that very same audience cater to themselves, too.

Teen Titans Go is such a weird case because it wasn't as "OMG HORRIBLE" as the manchild audience said, but it wasn't as great as Cartoon Network wanted it to be. It's like the most average kids show that was then used to beat everyone over the head. The movie was better than the show, imo.

Big Nacho Ramirez.

At the risk of missing the point, I'm legally obliged to say that Nacho is short for Ignacio and his design just being brown, fat boy with Cantinflas stache is the least offensive out of all the cast.

Is even funnier when you notice some of them still dress and act like the prototypical rich black family like The Hibberts, The Carmichaels and The Blacks but live around and interact with middle class white people. The fact that the whole aesthetic hasn't changed since Fresh Prince and the fucking Cosby Show is the true hate crime.

I have noticed that whereas the anime thread is full of recommendations, here it's more sperging about new cartoons or sometimes mentioning older stuff for nostalgia. regardless is there any good list of western animation that isn't filled with today's politics?

 

[MTN Dew Rat]

I guess you could say...

This show is a beaner-mouth cartoon

Funny enough, I was just about to ask for a rec list for Western animation with an emphasis on scientific problem-solving like Sealab 2020 or Star Trek: The Animated Series. Anyway, my recommendations for you are:
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
Thunderbirds Are Go
New Captain Scarlet
SWAT Kats
Exo-Squad
Starcom the US Space Force

 

[Sniperwoof]

Anythings recent? Probably not. If you haven't already seen these start with the Cartoon Network golden era.

Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Dexter's Lab
Powerpuff Girls
Codename Kids Next Door
Ed Ed n Eddy!
Samurai Jack

Simpsons seasons 1-5
Futurama seasons 1-4

For more recent stuff?
Rick and Morty (seasons 1 and 2 only)
Bojack Horseman (seasons 1 and 2 only)
F is for Family maybe (show quality is very inconsistent)
Smiling Friends
Primal

Off the top of my head:
Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys (it’s based on Star Trek; not quite science-based but still problem-solving @Sailor Troon)
Wakfu (first season, haven’t seen the rest)
Ruby Gloom
Hanazuki
Primal (1+2)
Samurai Jack (plus latest season)
Smiling Friends
Common Side Effects (pilot, rest will be out next year)
Robotomy

Ruby Gloom

Dude that show is 2 decades old and nobody remembers it except people who grew up on YTV.
Also Primal season 2 collapsed in on itself, you're not allowed to recommend it.

They’re still good.

You only wish cartoons still look like these ID's from 34 years ago...

It's always interesting to me how many of these were made as cels and film and yet no one's bothered to even check if the original film prints exist any more, it's like people hit that 1991/92 date era and go "okay film magically stopped existing after that point except if it's anime, hunt down tapes now!"

In the case of America, simply getting the film negative transferred to video before the final editing and mixing became our standard to the end of the last century. Japan still like doing it the ol' fashion way for TV until digital came around.

Xavier: Renegade Angel.

 

[Commander X]

Conclusive proof that the R&S reboot was spearheaded by ex-Adult Swim hacks. Making an "interdimensional cable TV" joke, complete with a narrator doing a dumb guy voice sort of like Roiland would have done.

You know what really makes a "joke" hilarious? Cramming in as many words as possible for no real or good reason. Good thing they didn't consult any of those old white guy writers!

 

[The Decimator]

Dude is really talented, could've been in other things, though I think he used anime dubbing as a stepladder to get into the industry. Also his wife would end up cheating on him with Steve Blum and I think he almost got cleaned out in the divorce. Luckily, the Fairly Oddparents checks were coming in and I think he's doing well for himself despite being pigeonholed as Cosmo.

Though honestly, I wish he would've been brought back as Dark Schneider for the Bastard!! reboot. He was amazing in the '90s OVA.

Norris has apparently remarried…to a guy.

 

[Starscream's Loyalty]

Norris has apparently remarried…to a guy.

After the shit he's been through with that BPD ex abd his coworker marrying her for some fucking reason...yeah I'd be gay too.

Don't tell me that's Paulie Shore....
