A lot of people agree that the medium is stagnating. We could’ve evolved to new heights with the 2010 animation renaissance, but that was short-lived because profitability is sooooooo important.

TV is dying and channel execs have known this for a while so they go for the cheapest shows to make. There are actually some cheap looking shows that apparently cost a lot to make, like AT, but that's just because the merchandise alone makes them bank. And as we have learned Ben 10 is one of the most profitable cartoon franchises ever.

>Stagnating

Regressing*

>2010 animation renaissance
the renaissance wasn't because animation was getting better, it was because cartoons were getting entertaining again

Plenty of people on Yea Forums would have fought you if you said that Adventure Time had a decent art style

That Scooby Doo show was as good as about any other incarnation, you just don't like how it looked

The target audience is 12 year olds though

This, Be cool had good writing and it was fun. Guess Who has nice animation but doesn't look as fun as be cool

Scooby doo is never good, OP.

>Be cool had good writing and it was fun.

It helps that Jon Colton Barry, who's behind the good parts of Phineas and Ferb, was involved.

The animation industry has been dead since the 1950s

6 to 11 actually

it is also better than Ultimate Alien

>We could’ve evolved to new heights with the 2010 animation renaissance, but that was short-lived because profitability is sooooooo important.
But thats the thing, had they actually contuined on that upward stride their profits wouldve continued to soar, now they are near death because they decided to become lazy and focus on low effort shit for toddlers instead.
12 year olds are too old for most of the shows on CN now anyways
Literally the only good thing to come out of bean mouth ben 10

OP just has shit taste
that's all

I agree with OPs statement but yeah scooby doo was never good, except for ghoul school and zombie island

nope
TV is dying
that's all

>Wtf bottom cartoons are great tho
OPs not the one with shit taste here, fellas.

Nope, the shows themselves are bad which contribute to the decline of the channel, you have to be a certified idiot to not see the distinction between this rise of toddler aimed cop out shows for CN and its decline, instead of blaming it all on external forces because you dont want to accept that its the declining quality of the channels contents fault.

let's see
Be Cool Scooby-Doo had better writing than the original
Gwen and Ben's obnoxious bickering has been almost entirely eliminated
both sound like improvements

ALL channels are declining

>Gwen and Ben's obnoxious bickering has been almost entirely eliminated
So basically the became boring

The only thing that's going to shut animation down permanently is a start-to-finish decade of shit, like the 2010's.

their bickering was one of the factors that prevented the original series from being good

>Gwen and Ben's obnoxious bickering has been almost entirely eliminated
So, now the entire show looks like ass while also being kiddified to an almost comical degree were all the characters and designs look like fisher price toys. The reboot fucking sucks and is a perfect example of the decline prevalent in modern animation.
But CN in particular is suffering the most, while nick and disney are still able to produce popular shows CN hasnt had a hit since SU and they do everything they can to sabotage it on their own network, most likely because it isnt TV-Y7 like they want al their content to be.

so how come it does not seem to be going anywhere?
I mean, all the networks were on their way to completely replace all animation with sitcoms and reality TV in the late 2000s

Good art doesn't make for an acceptable product.

dude, Ben 10 hit rock bottom with Ultimate Alien
everything after that was an improvement

good taste

FTFY

Ben 10 was good when it wasnt dumbing itself down for first graders. This show is ben 10 for the paw patrol audience and its a slap in the face to the original franchise for that.

Alien force was best in the series, fucking suck on it you baby.

>ALIEN FORCE
youtu.be/kBKr8YLuVgs

Because anything and everything is better than Hannah Montana or Victorious. What's more, wait for hindsight to take effect. Once something's been good and over for about a decade, people either embrace and enjoy it as they did all those years ago, or wonder what the hell they were thinking letting it air. Expect much more of the latter when the 2010's are up for their nostalgic heyday, is all I'm saying.

13 year olds watch onepunch man and south park

Better then fucking ben 10 for toddlers, you ignorant faggot

TV animation is dead but online/streaming will survive.

normal ben 10 > omiverse > ultimate alien > ben10 go > alien force.

Why do all the streaming cartoons suck then?

Wow, ominiverse is the worst besides nu-ben, just admit you like preschool cartoons and move on with your shit taste tier opinions

Because god forbid i like cartoons with action and serious tones other then rainbow vomiting cancer for kids with autism. Fuck this reboot and fuck you, its a perfect example of a host of problems with modern cartoons including bur not limited to the sliding intelligence and age range for them.

I wonder if you'll be saying that when your new standard-bearers for animation are VRV and TheOdd1sout.

The best thing for your mental health is to stop giving a shit.

>The best thing for your mental health is to stop giving a shit.
You dont think i havent tried?

Most people were really pissed off at how it looked when it first came on.

Also Adventure Time is exactly what taught the suits that the animation and designs can look like something from PBS kids and people will still watch it. So maybe don't praise it as much since it is more of a cause for the issues today.

Why can't they just draw?

Profits ARE important. This isn't a charity. And it's well-known kid TV networks have been failing miserably in the era of streaming. No fucking seven-year old is going to setup their CartoonNetwork app account on their iPad so they can watch some bullshit (Especially when the app doesn't fucking work half the time) when going to YouTube and watching some Lets Player play Pokemon is just ten times easier.

Whereas back in the 90's, it was established with HBO that you can make a TV show so goddamn good, people are willing to pay a subscription for it and even host viewing parties for their friends (Sopranos I'm talking about), kids rely entirely on their parents, and a parent will not pay extra for some kiddie cartoon when they can just show them whatever is on Netflix, something they're already subbed to for their own selves.

While the level of quality has dropped super hard (People should still be able to make a decent 11-minute cartoon on an average $200k - $300k budget), there is a reason for it. It's just transitioning, in a decade, things will have mellowed out.

then you're a moron for failing.

The original scooby has the worst animation out of all its variants though.

The biggest problem is that you don't have the numbers or the money to make them profitable. Teenagers were conquered by anime and most adult people outgrow animation or have so much problems that they forgot the medium until Pixar or Disney announce a new reboot or remake.

Strongly disagree, if anything cartoons are only profitable when they have an older appeal like adventure time had. SU is the only CN show that has any merch anymore, and that barely airs anymore.

>Early H-B
>effort

lmao

Ghoul School wasn't good it's only relevant because of waifufaggotry.

Who buys merchandise?, single adult men with lots of debt or spending everything in adult toys (expensive cars, expensive cellphones, boats and other shit) or busy parents that want their kids to stop bothering them?

all i'm seeing is the autistic crying of a doom poster who doesn't watch cartoons and want's (you)s

Nerds and fans of the show, have you seen the amount of people who buy collectibles from niche franchises? And SU is the only one that has anything like that for itself.

>you dont watch cartoons because you say meant things about the new ones
Get out

proving my point by thinking the bottom one has any merit on the entirety of the industry

Your point is garbage and so are you, the those three shows absolutely are a standard for the current animation climate.

Only 2 of them actually matter, and I'm sure you can immediately tell what they are.

Only if they are as big as the little horses bros that can be a healthy market. Maybe woman are the answer then, they don't need stupid status boosters and the ones without child have more money to spend

Not true, user youre on Yea Forums and if this board has taught me anything its that there is an untapped market for adult animation like anime here in the states.

we've already moved on too another scooby doo series though,honestly you sound like millerfag, and your not even trying, just another edgy shitposter acting like puffing up his chest makes his opinion have more weight.

Name me one cartoon thats actually good made within the past year.

The ones that consume "adult" animation are edgy teenagers. How many adults watch non-comical adult animations? (Nor Yea Forums or any board on Yea Forums are a reliable source of market information)

>How many adults watch non-comical adult animations? (Nor Yea Forums or any board on Yea Forums are a reliable source of market information)
I think it is, if the industry focus on making more action shows and making merch based on them i guarantee a large portion if the consumer base wouldnt be kids.

While it's true budgets are shoestring and this has caused low quality shows to be propped up, the truth is, it's not monetary capital that's scarce in the arts right now, it's passion. No one cares beyond getting paid, and audiences foot the bill for any passing fad with mediocre quality.

Maybe, but investors don't care and crofwunding don't give you money for good merchandise.

No one really merches a tv show much at all anymore. So there is not much of a point. Disney, Cartoon Network, even Nick has slowed down with the Spongebob stuff. Outside of the lowest effort logos on tshirts. Tv shows are not really merch driven and no company seems to want to waste the money on merchandising anything short of a movie these days.

If we really see anything then it's something like a funkopop or funko mystery fig, which is really Funko buying a license to make it and not so much Disney or Warner wasting any of their own effort to produce merch.

Except for preschool age shows. Nickelodeon and Disney roll out huge merch lines for every new preschool series ever. Even things like Vampirina, and Doc McStuffins have huge aisles full of toys in Target and Walmart.

It's the kids older than 6-7 that they do not bother with anymore.

>adult animation like anime

That's weird. Even the less succesful anime had keychains, plushies and some little merchandise like that (and don't forget the OST's)

K-on and the entire cute girls doing cute things genre are made for stressed adults. That's other thing that the west can't do, the last one was MLP but wad full of weirdos that ruined the series reputation, and all the muh action and muh white male MC don't help.

>aka the only places that actually matter

You're a man of taste, I will never understand why these idiots who hate everything even come here.

It's more highschool nostalgia, a sanitized version of Highschool.

And ducktales and summer camp island

all the one's i mentioned myself are admittedly flawed in some way, i'd say the same about the titles you listed but i do watch both from time too time pott is a strange lady and that helps the show.

MAKE YOUR OWN ANIMATIONS!

I love that this is drawn by one of the storyboard artists.

Why? The animation being poor? I never really watched SD or it’s incarnations much.

The lolis

This is not a new thing. There was never much of a merch line for Disney Afternoon stuff or Spielberg shows either in the 90s.

There was the the basic level stuff like shirts, and maybe cheap things like school supplies like pens and folders with the logo on it. But that was about it. They tried making some toys for Darkwing but those did not do well. They only toys that really appeared for anything like Ducktales or Animaniacs were the little collectible minifigs from Applause that were given away with cereal, or sold in Disney Stores.

Only recently is there Disney Afternoon stuff sold since it is a nostalgia based brand right now.

because it is important dipshit. Without a budget and profit these networks and studios can't afford to make a show.
Also these newer shows are way cheaper to make compared to the old ones because and dumb kids will tune in watch anything so why do you act surprised when the network turns to the profitable route?

They did but Yea Forums has to be contrarian and pretend to care about it.
Both adaptations as well as the source material are awful anyway.

You don't need to support the cause. Quality speaks for itself. Oh, and the cause is just that people can work, even when they are not SJW, and are not getting destroyed.

I think user’s partially right on this one. From what I’ve seen CN ratings are usually 300k-500k, while Nick’s ratings are usually 500k+. Hell Nick shows can still break a million. CN really fractured their brand in the late 2000s while Nick’s done a good job of being consistent, non controversial, and appealing to normies/families. I wouldn’t call Nick dead but DAMN CN is nearly dead, and much of it isn’t cable’s fault.

Western animation used to inspire and be the model for eastern animation. Why is it surpassed by eastern's now?

It is because in the west, target audience is kids and in the east, target audience is teenager, young adults

And this stuff also works for older adults, which even have more money...

Eastern animation also challenges moral traditions, while western self declared 'liberals' try to impose new ones.

Also even as a kid (long time ago) I was interested in more mature animation, probably kids of today are also going for the teen stuff. They have easier access and also alternatives like vidya. Who needs this silly baby stuff which also looks repulsive? Not cool, not thrilling, not sexy, just wah.

Only cringy Amerimutts did this. If it was trash, then modern standards in art and design wouldn't favor nip shit so damn much.

have you considered growing up. most cartoons have simplistic dialogue and storytelling and easily predictable plots. Kids like them but well-adjusted adults tend to not.

You're 100% right. Kids deserve great memorable content that anyone can enjoy. The reason kids these days act like retards and do fortnite dances cause they're growing up on teen titans go and fortnite. Good, well made cartoons would benefit society.

Little kids deserve quality shows it doesn't matter that they'll watch anything with bright colors and shit

>OLD THING GOOD
>NEW THING BAD

Do you really think the new versions in op's pic are better than their originals?

Lack of profit is what killed the old cartoons. If the can make more money sellng shit to busy parents (toys or shows to shut up their kids) they don't care about selling a little more to NEET or nostalgic adults for little to no profit.
