I'm liking LGG, it's not poi-fect, good, not great, but good.
They even fucked up Pinky and The Brain by making a new female mouse.
Yeah, that was Billie. She was smarter than Brain, had Pinkie's sense of humor and Brain had a crush on her. Only appeared in like three episodes
Yeah, we've been having a bit of fun with that over in the Steven Universe thread:15.ai: Natural TTS with minimal data

4chan’s /co/ board has been messing with this A.I. bot that lets you do text to speech with your favorite characters. It ranges from the likes of Spongebob to Daria, to even Team Fortress 2 and Portal.

I’m guessing it doesn’t work properly on mobile? I can’t get sound out of it.15.ai: Natural TTS with minimal data

It’s only on this site’s mobile version. I’ve been able to hear it fine in other sites.
That's like a 6 on the yikes meter really. Not that he should've implied violence at all, mind you.
I remember looking forward to it, but I've never even seen a single episode. It's like you said, it's far too late for fantasy subversions. Monty Python was doing that shit yonks ago already.
There's an argument that none of them will achieve what SU or GF had either, because they were really creator-driven shows and based heavily on personal histories in the case of the former which lends multiple layers of sincerity to the whole process. Still, I'm optimistic about the future of animation and hope that shows like Infinity Train can secure more seasons so they can continue to tell interesting stories. Oh, and more wacky non-serialized cartoons too. No need to settle on just one type of cartoon.
I’m starting to think the actual future of animation might lie with independent animated features, if the popularity of Hazbin Hotel and Long Gone Gulch is anything to go by. If you think about it, that’s basically creator driven cartoons in it’s most distilled form. Plus I’d be glad if animation followed that trajectory rather than just trying to be the new AT/SU/GF.
It definitely seems like you can bypass a lot of the usual bullshit red tape by going independent. You're not wrong about people chasing their own dreams instead of being the next "darling of previous years" either.
It's easier now than it was in the old days, but we've got a long way to go before we get to the point where independent stuff can compete.
I think we might already be there; Helluva Boss’s two episodes are easily on par with what you see on TV and Long Gone Gulch’s pilot is also TV quality.
