Cartoons are better now than they were in the 80s

[Eleven]

They all were vapid and soulless back then, they just had a random monster of the week and the characters were all bland stereotypes, I'm sure He-Man and She-Ra and the others were great back then but by now they have aged

In my opinion, the first "Modern" Cartoon was Batman the Animated Series, even though it was 90s, but since then we've gotten Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, Avatar The Last Airbender, Samurai Jack, The Owl House, Phineas and Ferb, Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, Amphibia, Gravity Falls, Batman Beyond, Teen Titans, Star Wars The Clone Wars, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Futurama, Danny Phantom, Primal, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Animaniacs, Ed, Edd, and Eddy, Dexters' Lab, The Powerpuff Girls, Amphibia, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Young Justice, Over The Garden Wall, Infinity Train, Red vs. Blue, My Life As A Teenage Robot, Invader Zim, Spongebob, The Fairly Oddparents, Clone High, Clerks, Freakazoid, The Critic, King of the Hill, The Looney Tunes Show, Darla, The Venture Bros, and Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life


I just think that shows from the 90s on were way better than shows from the 60s to 80s.

Point proven. You used something from Futurama, one of those cartoons I listed as being great.

Except it's not a cartoon from now :P

Kim Possible was a girl power show done right, sure Ron ended up the comic relief more often than not, but the show had a nice flow and was one of the better ones of it's time.

I'll always remember gummies from Batman the Animated Series in the 90s as a kid.

It defined my childhood.

technically he is right

name cartoon and anime created 2020 and after that are great ??

i only see kimetsu no yaba

most western cartoon i watch are from 80, 90, 2000, 2010

so the simpsons, dc and marvel, clone war, avenger, amazing spider man, teen titan, family guy, amnerican dad, south park, attack on titan

but i see nothing from 2020, only kimetsu no yaba

even old show like bug bunny, flingstone, scooby doo from hannah barbara, snoopy, garfield look more enjoyable than wathever 2020 offer

and i didnt mentionne european cartoon and anime like maya the bee, atserix obelix, smurf, once the space, golden city, wonderland alice

and you have your classic gi joe, ghostbuster, ninja turtle, transformers, little poney, beetlejuice

sorry but 2020 anime and cartoon look bad, because disney suck, dc seem to fall like disney, since sony control full japan anime fun is not allowed anymore so not more fun like sword art online, goblin slayer

we go to 2025 and 2020 anime is only kimetsu no yaba ??

in 2005 we had teen titan, batman beyond, ben 10, powerpuff girl, kid next door, justice league, futurama, family guy

2015 we got clone war, amazing spider man, team smash, avenger, different batman serie, teen titan go, attack on titan

my prediction it is future fun anime and cartoon going to be maked by AI on youtube, sorry but currently people on youtube use AI to made better show than disney, hollywood and sony

[Fuki]

OP, we're in the 2020s. Not the 1990s.

I mean the claim is essentially that the modern age of cartoons starts with Batman: The Animated Series through to today.

As much as I love Batman: The Animated Series, if we're going to argue that the modern era starts in the 1990s though, we'd have to give credit to The Simpsons. Technically the pilot episode of the Simpsons aired in 89, but c'mon folks, that was just one episode and it aired on christmas. Otherwise shade is also being thrown on Ramna ½, Urusei Yatsura, original Dragon Ball and Fist of the North Star too.

Kinda hard since its been a long time since I've watched any modern anime in a long time, but isn't Spy x Family, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and Dungeon Meshi popular?

Also Kaguya-Sama: Love is War is technically a 2010s anime, but only just scarcely, having run from 2018 to 2022.

I got the impression that we're not really supposed to be discussing anime though since there are none mentioned in the original post.

I'd count by the air date of the first season when crediting specific years and decades with specific cartoons.

I wouldn't really say it's "still" running. Its been on and off with multiple cancellations. Considering that you might consider it a show with multiple sequel series running under the same name. Kinda wise since you'd probably just have people saying Futurama 2: Robotic Boogaloo, isn't as good as Futurama and complain about how Fry is kinda stupid and selfish if they made distinctly titled sequels.

I wonder what other "safe" shows that South Park Republicans watch in addition to what's obvious. A safe environment with their bubble they can inject their idiotic views into. I see they walked back denying global warming before etc. I used to like that show also, pretty sad folks. Sad when folks like the South Park creators pretend that they have a clue when they're essentially just marketing a bunch of right-wing frat brat humor. Oh and it's funny to hear that fans don't actually identify with Cartman etc. and you're supposed to have me believe that you are only laughing "at" it and don't actually identify with it. Also, I hear about the jokes they have on more recent episodes and it sounds like a joke in and of itself. "Haha Trump campaigning, funny". Huh? Yeah, MAGA CHUDs love that show also, so do right leaning college kids and below that age who find it suitably edgy in their taste like the cool kids talked about back in the "bad ol days".
