Do you want to know what killed Cartoon Network? These awful shows did!

This is what happens when studios keep hiring a bunch of untalented Millennials and Zoomers from Tumblr; they make terrible shows like these, destroying Cartoon Network for good!

@helldiverliberator And everyone thought that Johnny Test was the worst that CN had to offer.

@xianc78 @helldiverliberator a lot of people look back fondly on that show I've noticed. I've never seen it.

@xianc78 @helldiverliberator pinnacle cartoon network though regular show, gumball was pretty good too. But there is a LOT of slop.

@beardalaxy @helldiverliberator I never saw the problem with it. I actually kind of liked it back then, but I didn't actively watched it. TV was just background noise for me while I was doing something else. People accuse it of being a Dexter's Lab rip-off, but with the roles reversed, but the creator openly said that he had the idea back in 1995 (a year before Dexter aired).

People tend to look at Season 1 fondly, but hate the rest of the show. That's partially because the show's production was moved from an American studio to a Canadian studio and they had to deal with Canada's strict broadcasting regulations. They also changed from hand-drawn animation to Adobe Flash which caused silted animation. To compromise, they used the infamous whip crack sound effects to mask the snapping between poses.

The show's creator, Scott Fellows has done a lot of successful shows like Ned's Declassified, Big Time Rush, and even a few episodes of the Fairly Odd Parents, but his cartoon is one of the most hated and it's not really his fault. It's just that Canadian animation studios suck.

@xianc78 @ArdainianRight @beardalaxy @helldiverliberator It was pretty progressive for it's time, showing that even females can be scientists, but the show was a bit transphobic with some of their "gender swap" experiments and characters being grossed out by them.
@beardalaxy @xianc78 @helldiverliberator The only thing I remember are the whip sound effects and how much I absolutely wanted to fuck the two sisters, oh God I'm gonna cum.
@helldiverliberator I was shamefully a fan of Steven Universe back in the day when it had just started as the concept was appealing to me and I feel like the music was nice and they actually did a very good job building up all of the mystery behind who Rose Quartz was and what the other diamonds were and all that shit. Sadly it was held back by gay faggots and shitty art. I would Pearl any day though, semen demon.
@Loki @helldiverliberator I have it in my backlog. Definitely looks like it's worth a read, and the girls look cute too on top of that.
@Kerosene @helldiverliberator manga ended recently so id say its as good as time as any to pick it up :ReiThumbsUp:
@helldiverliberator I managed to catch an ep of Teen Titans Go!, it actually wasn't bad

The issue however is that Teen Titans was extremely beloved and nobody specifically asked for it to turn out like that

Steven Universe is basically "Shows for children?? :aniwhat: "

@coolboymew@shitposter.world @helldiverliberator@gameliberty.club TTG made bank for CN. It was practically their version of Spongebob and they aired it about as much.

Steven Universe had decent merch sales but CN failed to milk it.

Everything else is irrelevant.

The thing that killed/is killing CN (as well as other channels) is kids not watching TV nor buying toys, the discovery buyout which fucked up a lot of stuff internally at Warner, and streaming services not paying enough.

@Weeble @coolboymew
Yeah, but honestly, Steven Universe is a terrible show in general. It created a whole generation of those non-binary faggots and pussies.

@Weeble @coolboymew

well, where do you think Cartoon Network hired those people to work on that stupid ass show?

The downfall started with the "CN Real" live action arc they went on.

Cartoon Network just like every other cartoon channel fell when the jews in charge realized you could do live action to rape children.
I would say adventure time and regular show were the real downfall

The final gasp was when they cancelled the thundercats reboot for Lego Legends of Chima.

If you dislike the cal-arts style and the dog shit writing that uniformly accompanies it, the credit lies with where it began. Pendleton Ward walked so rebecca sugar could run.

It wasn't Pendleton Ward that tried to remake his show every fucking year. That's on the executives. His shows were good.

You like the bendy noodle arms and bean mouth animation? You like the gay little musical numbers in the middle of the show? You like all the gay shit?

It was interesting the first time. Then every show tried to do it but worse every time.

It's like when Nicolodeon kept trying to remake spongebob.

Or how trigger keeps trying to remake Kiznaiver :HazeSmug:

nobody gets that joke because only i watched that show

Gridman was Kino. Then they tried to remake that with Dynazen and it was alright

>so ronrey you team up with aliens because they'll talk to you.
relatable. also why so many racists have colonized wives.
Akane did nothing wrong.
@doctorsex @Goalkeeper @helldiverliberator @Dudebro The most bizarre component of Rebecca sugar was that she drew gay Ed, Edd, n' Eddy porn.
@Myles @helldiverliberator @Dudebro @Goalkeeper @doctorsex i'm sure if you gave a furry porn artist a show deal the shows would be better ngl
Oh yeah dude I can't wait for them to insert whatever gross ass weird niche sex fetish halfway through an episode
I see literally zero difference than this and random furry art off deviantart or something apart from the fact that these people have the resources of a professional animation studio
@LodedDiaper @helldiverliberator @Dudebro @Goalkeeper @doctorsex @Myles imagine you're watching some ugly fat bitches make a shit cartoon about adulting and not a cartoon with cute paws on the screen

@doctorsex @Dudebro @Goalkeeper

yeah, and that bitch would eventually create that God awful show Steven universe! She was one of the mini contributors why modern cartoons are crap!

@doctorsex

Dude, are you fucking high? Those were the only good shows that were on during that time!
