>Atomic Betty is a horrible show that could never be better than it is and couldn’t possibly get any worse.

>Everything in Atomic Betty is borrowed from another show. It’s an amalgam of generic teen superhero concepts, lazily thrown together with no discernable love or care. We have Betty, the extremely one-dimensional “fighting crime before bedtime” girl who—GASP!!!—isn’t perfect. We have her two sidekicks: the stereotypical clumsy oaf who looks like a Sniz and Fondue character, and a “smooth-talking” robot with one of the worst voice actors I’ve ever heard. And these three go around fighting crime while getting into HI-LAR-IOUS (TM) hijinks around the school campus!

>But that’s not enough. We need more ripoff characters. Okay, throw in the “got tiresome ten years ago” bratty-snotty girl who makes fun of Betty. Throw in the CRAAAAA-AAAAZY parents, and make sure they’re off-the-wall unrelatable! And let’s make all the superheroes and villains animals, because animals are so gosh darn cute and funny. Don’t forget to sprinkle in the “is he or isn’t he?” romantic interest. Aha! Now we’re getting somewhere! It’s no place special, but it feels really familiar!

>I don’t know what makes this show worse: that it hinges on situation humor that has been done before in every other cartoon, or that the characters are so uninteresting that they could never be funny anyway. It just feels like no one on this show (except the animation staff) is trying. No one seems to want to put out an original product. They’re just happy being this mediocre nothing that will not leave a footprint on Cartoon Network when it airs.

WOOOOOO

I remember back when the late 00s-early 10s used to be widely considered the "downfall into shit era" (see top).

But now in 2019, zoomers took over the internet and post childhood nostalgia for that once-hated late 00s-early 10s era, rehabilitating its reputation (see bottom).

OH MY GOD PEOPLE USED TO DAY DUMB SHIT

THAT MEANS SMART SHIT IS ALSO DUMB SHIT

TURNS OUT SQUIRREL BOY WAS GOOD, HAHA FAGGOTS!

It’s still shit and a lot of that comes from the 90’s kid autistic nostalgia wank as they were growing up so they feel like they have to do it too.

like most nostalgic cartoons would be seen as special if they didn't grow up with it.

nostalgia is just nostalgia, you didn't have a better version of it.

Nostalgia isn’t an argument. Some times were better than other times, objectively. Anytime you use nostalgia as an argument against that you’re either a retard or a shill for modern shit.

And by the same token 2008-2014 pop used to be eeeexxxxxxxtreeeeemmmeeellly hated by "defeners"/boomers back when it was new. People kept saying "I only listen to real music like Queen, not Justine Gayber and Lil Gayne".

Now that era is beloved online and considered a "golden age" of pop. Interesting to see the complete 180 turn in popular opinions.

Different people, and an exaggeration

do you really think that kids would go wild for rugrats and spider-man the animated series if you showed them it

you think the cartoons you grew up with were special because you were a kid when you watched them. that's always true. just like john k. is nostalgic for roger ramjet, which is otherwise forgotten.

>c**p
Holy FUCK user, don't post that foul shit here

Those people would be too old to be zoomers, dummy

Kids are not the measurement of quality, and yeah, a kid not used to the rapid fire XD WAFFLES over stimulus shit would love it.

There are plenty of cartoons made before I was born that I didn’t grow up with that are great too. Some after I grew up too.

You clutch this argument because you like shitty shows now or are salty you missed the boat for the golden age of 1988 (Roger Rabbit) to 2004~ (Widespread digital adoption, end of era). Nostalgia. Is. Not. An. Argument.

People who were 7-12 in 2009 are now 17-22, i.e. early zoomers

If someone was 10-12 in 2009 they're not a zoomer

Gen z begins in 1997

"no"

PSA from the meme police:
Gen Z started around ‘98, but Zoomer no longer just describes Gen Z. Zoomer means “with the current shit” and Boomer means “With old shit/against current shit”. You can have a “20 year old Boomer” who is Gen Z, BUT it’s also possible to have a 20 year old zoomer.

People who are 22 were already in their 20s when the "zoomer teenager" meme began

Care to explain your “evidence”?

Cartoons from the 80s were more like anime, cartoons from the 90s were more like looney tunes. Cartoons today are neither because they're objectively garbage.

How in the fuck is someone really THAT in love with an 80s show if it is not toy related nostalgia. None of them hold up on their own.

epic opinion

Gen X: 1965 - 1980
Millennials: 1981 - 1996
Zoomers: 1997 - 2012
Gen Alpha: 2013 - present day

Fuck off faggot you're just head canoning real words.

This is factual.

Boomers are from the baby boom they aren't fucking 25-30. I'm so sick of meme spouting retards imagining memes are reality.

No one gave a shit about what randoms on the Internet had to said back then.That's why those post are unearthed from the depths of Google Groups to prove a point
In the 90s,Internet was a hole for you to scream in the void,you'll be lucky if one or two chumps replied to your rant
Nowaday, Twitter and Yea Forums can make your inane rant known worldwide and viral

Also back in the day,people werent afraid to attach their names to their opinions

Agree and disagree.I'll say every era have its stronger and weaker points.For example era X had better cartoons but shitty music whereas era Y had shitty cartoon but was a golden era of music
(Replace X and Y by the decade of your choice,i have no strong opinion on the matter)

Fuck off with this boomer vs zoomer and post old opinions.

How bout comics. Reading discussions about Peanuts while it was actually running is fun.

Well, the last episode of Rick and Morty had ratings three times higher than the closest episode of Steven Universe, so it is true that Adult Swim is more popular.

A Star Wars article from 2005 that has stayed relevant throughout the years.
web.archive.org/web/20060110082840/http://www.jivemagazine.com/column.php?pid=3381

Toonzone Forums had some old talkback threads about cartoons that ran more than a decade ago. The site changed its layout at some point, and its name is apparently now "Anime Superhero", but the old discussions are still there. Like for example the response to Justice League's "Starcrossed":
animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/justice-league-starcrossed-series-finale-talkback-spoilers.3637301/
Or the finale of Samurai Jack's original run:
animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/samurai-jack-episode-lii-the-final-episode-jack-and-the-baby-talkback-spoilers.3722071/

Here's something from 2000:
groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.tv.simpsons/MYSMw5Ylt38/ly8ELVqjmPsJ
Simpsons fans in that discussion are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the show and talking about how they were doing 10 years ago when the show premiered.

Apparently the HEAT (Hal’s Emerald Advancement Team) website is still up:

Man if we listened to the internet every generation of cartoons would be shit!

Cringe

I remember arguing with a friend about current cartoons and why alot niggas switch to anime these days, he would usually spew out the BS like everyone else did
>cartoons aint the same
>muh chiiiilldhoooodddd Shit :( shit

But I remember telling him that he just grown out of cartoons and only saying that cause older ppl usually complain about new shit all the time even when zoomers fucks with that new shit, which reminded me of another situation where i was in high school in 2017ish and kids were complaining about Disney and how they were dumb and not like the old shows back then

Being a boomer is nothing more than a complaint cycle

A lot of summers happened since then

there are literally a thousand voids you can scream to at any given time, you change fearing boomer.

I honestly ignore all nostalgia arguments because they are trash arguments.

>by sheer coincidence what I identify as the glory days of animation is my childhood years before I aged into maturity

That is true but the whole boomer meme was really about comparing old PC games to fortnite, now other internet cultures adopted it and turned it into the cycle you talking about rn

"all new things are worse than the old things" is something that has existed since the rise of humanity and will probably keep on existing until the end of time

Jesus Christ they type like a bunch of 8 year old zoomers who've been paid to say stupid shit.

The glory days of animation was decades before I was born. I just happened to live through the second resurgence (1988-2004) (I was born in 1995)
