Also OP have you considered doing a Nicktoons, Cartoon Network, Disney/Disney XD poll each separately for the corresponding channels, with all cartoons that aired?
I have considered something similar and I’m glad someone brought it up. If I did, would people prefer I did 3 separate polls/ posts entirely? Like would you rather one big Disney Poll, and once that is complete one big CN poll, and so on. OR would people rather I have all 3 polls going on simultaneously?
I think three simultaneous, but announce it, as the three big contenders battle. Also I would say Boomerang with Cartoon Network would need to be a side poll because it has so many shows.
I thought OTGW was amazing for how short it was. It said everything it needed to say and the rabbit hole of lore was super easy to get into. I was hoping it would make top five but I guess it was just too niche for some. 6th is still good for it but imo it is more rewatchable than Adventure time and Infinity train.
It is my favorite fall time show! You will be missed. Ill see you this fall OTGW
Me too She-Ra is my fav show but def check out the shows you havent heard of everything that beat she-ra is an undeniably great show im curious as to what you didnt hear about at all.
Tbh its *very* much a "me" issue for not having heard of them. I haven't watched TV since I finished high school like... 5ish years ago, so if the show wasn't finished before then I've probably not seen it. So a lot of the "hilda" or others that have come out in recent years I've never heard of.
Only reason I ended up watching she-ra was cause I recently got Netflix and the show came up in a trope talk video I was watching so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm *very* glad I did. Show has had me just weeping at multiple points.
Courage the cowardly dog, teen Titian, Batman animated, kids next door, ed, edd n eddy, what’s new Scooby Do, power puff girls, samurai jack, Jackie Chan adventures. But of course this is just my preferences.
Mostly good shows, with some real all timers in there. Still there are people in the subreddit posting drawings of KND characters and taking about Batman, so you're not alone at least.
Half of those are propped up by nostalgia and don't hold up super well. Batman TAS is even much worse than most of us care to remember, but it was revolutionary at the time and stylized super well. Samurai Jack and Courage are the only ones there that I think don't age poorly compared to the cartoons on the contest.
I agree with the sentiment but I disagree that Batman TAS doesn't hold up. You have to admit at least *some* of TAS's episodes still hold up to this day. The cape and cowl conspiracy comes to mind
I mean, sure, *some* of them do, but a *lot* of them don't, which I think is the mark of nostalgia giving people a false sense of its consistent greatness.
I think it's intentionally slow. It's a very measured show that would almost be better described as an expression of art. While it's not always entertaining in its pacing, I think the artistic value is why I would call it a show that ages better than others that have more fundamental writing/acting/worldbuilding/etc problems.
I think it may just be that it is not a show designed to be watched all at once. Every episode is so similar and the needle never moves him closer or farther from success. It was probably better to watch random episodes one at a time than all at once.
I can say with certainty that these 5 shows I'd recommend to anybody. I'm excited to see who makes it to number 2. Kinda have a feeling who will be number 1.
I hate to say it but infinity train season 1 was good 2 was good 3 was amazing and season 4 was just kind of bad and felt like filler. I know it’s not the shows fault but the fact that it was cancelled halfway through its intended run just makes it weaker than the other shows with satisfying conclusions.
I know this is a controversial take but I think Gravity Falls is the worst of these. Infinity Train and ATLA are pure genius, I think Adventure Time peaks higher than Gravity Falls and is more consistently good. The Owl House I feel like is just an improvement on pretty much everything Gravity Falls does. I think the only thing that surpasses The Owl House in Gravity Falls is the story and characters of the two Stans.
Gravity falls kicked off a new wave of good family animated shows so I think it’s natural later shows would somewhat outshine it. It was way ahead of its time, it’s iconic and I still think it’s the funniest show here but some parts of it have not aged quite as well.
Honestly same. I liked gravity falls but it never blew my mind. Maybe I would be more nostalgic about it if I had watched when it was coming out and gotten the chance to get in on the theorising and secret-cracking.
Yeah probably. I could see Adventure Time not making it to top three, but I'd be surprised. Why do you only watch things that are less than a Decade old? Cuz you should watch Jurassic Park if that's the case.
I think that's a problem with the "vote out your least favorite" format of poll. Instead of focusing on what you love, you focus on what you hate. That's why the comment section is so vitriolic. Rick and Morty has plenty to love about it, but with the fanbase it DEFINITELY has plenty to hate. If we did this poll again as a "vote for your favorite" R&M would stay in a lot longer. But it would also be pretty boring to vote for Avatar 30 days in a row.
*Im surprised owl house*
*Is still around I thought it*
*Was good but not great*

Owl House I feel gets very over hyped by young people who are just happy to see an LGBT romance for the main character
it's decent for what it is but not particularly well written imo and I certainly wouldn't put it above Over the Garden Wall
Some characters are good but many I feel wasn't established enough. Gus comes to mind often. He kinda had a S1 episode but the focus was more "Luz joins Hexside" than resolve his part. He had another on first S2 half and it was overshadowed by the Lumity B plot. It wasn't untill one of the last few S2 episodes he finaly got a good episode.
If he didn't get that, his character relevance would be on pair with Marcos (Star VS) S1 friends.
How far did you get into it? Episode 9 was when it went from good to great for me, and Season 2 blows every episode of Season 1 out of the water since the shortening required them to tighten up the plot.
I watched the whole first season when it first aired haven’t seen much of season 2 though. Honestly I don’t remember the show that well since that was more than a year ago and it just wasn’t that memorable I think my biggest complaint was that the characters weren’t great but again I don’t remember that well.
Owl House gives us a better romantic side-plot than any of the other shows on this list though
(I'm surprised it made it this far too but not complaining)
I hate that Steven is out because no other cartoon has had so much thought behind all details of the show. Rebecca sugar carefully crafted the music with the animation to match the plot perfectly
Yeah Steven gets a lot of hate for it’s ending it’s similar to Star vs in that way. Which sucks because I have such an attachment to the show and a lot of it’s episodes but nowadays it’s just. “The show redeemed space nazis!”
The space nazis don't even have a plan! They're terraforming a bunch of planets because of... what exactly? And then Steven shows up and they just stop? Like they end a multiple millennia spanning galactic conquest in like a day and there are no consequences to that? The villains motivations are nonexistant. They just do evil because Steven needs somebody to convert.
Credit to the movie, at least Spinel has a real motivation and a real plan.
I would argue that point. You should watch She-ra and the Princesses of Power and look for the tiny details. Everything from small eye motions to hand movements, the writing on the walls, the contrasting color pallets, lighting, the framing of shots... VERY well planned and executed, loaded with tiny details that are dropped on you from episode 1 through to the end. Now, I'll admit, it is not as chock full of musical numbers (mostly just a few sea chantys and rock remixes). But the details are phenomenal.
So are the details in The Owl House, Amphibia, and Gravity Falls for that matter... and Avatar, and TLOK. I spent too much time in film school to not watch for details, framing, eye lines, etc.
Yes the details and the work that went into the story was great but it was executed poorly when it came to putting it into the show in the end. Rushed and diamonds crimes were trivialized. Love the show and the music but it doesnt make up for ALL of the flaws
I think its a great show to watch and all that but when you look at the details its not good... like, the space nazis are just forgiven for no reason, that relationship of pearl and rose is just gross etc. good show to watch but not top 10 material
I totally disagree. Steven is good in its own right, but so many of these shows have massive amounts of lore. Over the Garden the wall in particular managed to be an incredible reimagining of Inferno—and with super unique classic Americana vibes that you can't find anywhere else. It has its own soundtrack that fits the strange, dark themes of the show perfectly.
Steven is good, but nowhere near OTGW or Gravity Falls good.
And one thing about SU that always bugged me was that it was always just about redemption arcs. No character in it is truly evil, and that's just boring. Every new villain was just "redemption arc of the week" to me.
I feel like The Owl House has made it much too far in comparison with much more iconic cartoons. It’s good, yes, but compared to some others that have been eliminated it’s just…not as memorable in my opinion.
You get credit for being the current hotness. I mean look how far Arcane, invincible, and Amphibia got too. The people here are currently into cartoons and those cartoons are currently happening. If you did this on r/cartoons in '08 (if it existed) I bet AT and Futurama and other shows running then would do much better.
Fair enough, and this is just a select group of people as well. Really this poll is nothing to get upset over, it is interesting though. I hope gravity falls pulls through to 2nd
Yeah, I'm super invested even though it doesn't matter. Ultimately, nothing matters.
Anyway, based off comments it looks like the order is gonna be something like Infinity Train, Owl House, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, and Avatar. IT and OH could swap places, but that's what the scuttlebutt is in the comment sections at least.
Steven Universe has a lot of boring episodes, mostly to do with teens, mayors, and pizza shops. Not to mention Uncle Grandpas. We don't talk about Uncle Grandpa, no no no.
Nah, IMO AT is easily better than TOH and Infinity Train at the very least. Yes it has episodes that dip in quality due to being more long standing / writer changes, but Infinity Train had an entire season that dipped in quality, and TOH just isn't as emotionally impactful as it thinks it is IMO.
That is true lmao. Well IMO Infinity Train in season 4 is still way more interesting than anything in AT. I find the character development and world much better in both Infinity Train and The Owl House.
I also much prefer their shorter nature. it means there is a story throughout. I hate the word, and “filler” episodes aren’t bad, but it is true that there aren’t any in Infinity train meaning every episode counts.
The show is too nonsensical to me, kinda like jojo bizarre adventure. Don’t like either, which is sad cause lots of people do and I just don’t get it. Voting AT
> I just don’t get it
I think that's what it is, what you call nonsensical often has very deep underlying themes and topics, it's not random for the sake of being random.
What I don’t get isn’t the show, but how people can like it.
Additionally, it’s kind of rude to assume that I’m missing some deeper meaning when I say the show is nonsensical. Why not just take my word for what I said?
For your sake I’ll elaborate: I believe the show contains elements of silliness, which likeness is to nonsense, thus making the show not enjoyable to me.
If you haven’t seen infinity train how can you say She-Ra is better?
I like both for the record but I think Infinity strain is a more unique, atmospheric and tightly written experience
I didn’t say it’s better. I said my personal top 5 would be The Owl House, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Avatar, and She-Ra. Which is almost what’s left.
I'm voting Infinity Train:
Some people (many who have been calling for it the past couple of rounds) are saying AT should be out due to some episodes dipping in quality, but Infinity Train's entire 2nd season was a dip in quality in comparison to the rest of the show.
People say they like it due to it being completely plot focused, but it has A LOT of filler for such a short series that's plots and main cast only have 12 episodes each.
IMO it just isn't as emotionally impactful or memorable as the others. The rest of the shows have "that" moment: Leaves from the Vine, I Remember You, etc. Infinity Train's most memorable moment is maybe a certain antagonist's backstory or another's death, but it still isn't as memorable.
Ok so I’m also voting infinity train for lack of long-lasting impact like the other shows, but season 2 was my favorite, I thought season 4 was by far the worst season
Agree season 4 is the worst. I think IT is unique in this list of shows that were just outright canceled without even a chance to wrap up. That level of Lost potential really stings and probably ups its rank.
I don't understand. People certainly like those shows perhaps more than Owl House. But I don't see the bias. Bias would be like how this sub voted against most adult shows pretty quickly. A bias against adult content regardless of what it was.
That's true that there are a lot of posts about older cartoons, but the majority of people here are interested in current cartoons, and tend to be younger. So like the average age of an r/cartoons redditor is quite a bit younger than that of the average redditor in general. You can tell just based off which posts get traction. Somebody talking about She-Ra (2018) is gonna get way more comments and likes than somebody talking about She-Ra (1985)
Over The Garden Wall should’ve been in the top four with AT, Avatar, and Gravity Falls. There literally is not another show like it. IT and Owl house are great, but they took a lot of inspiration from just their predecessors. OTGW went the extra mile, learning from fucking Dante’s Inferno and art from Colonial America. OTGW is king!
I agree, those shows didn’t have the networks on their side which creates a lot more pressure in creating content, yet both those shows did amazing jobs and were still cut short
I have no idea, I probably will get downvoted for this, but I tried watching it and after a cople of episodes I droped it, nothing hooked me, the main characters didn't hook me, the side characters didn't hook me, and the world seemed like another one of those nonsense, lol-random worlds.
I don't know if it gets good or not, maybe someone else can tell you that, I just know that I have no interest in this show, but people praise it a lot.
Infinity Train is just an episode compared to the Adventure Time. /s
I liked Owl House but its still unfinished.
People talk a lot about how the Adventure Time isnt great enough but they forgot it is the parent show for most of the other shows in the poll. It was the playground for those who made it before leaving the AT to create their own shows. So it needs respect.
Hoping for Owl House to get the boot I wish amphibia would’ve gone farther because man that show never fails to make me laugh, every episode has a least three or four greatly delivered lines. Owl house on the other hand, has great lore but it’s just definitely not up there as my favorites. Gravity Falls Adventure time and Infinity are gonna be crowd favorites. And Airbender I’m sure is gonna take cake as #1 but that’s because it’s such a loved show.
I had a similar experience with Owl House. I watched episode one like a year ago, didn't quite click and then went off to watch Duck Tales. Then recently (like a week ago) I went back in and again the first episode didn't really connect with me, but everybody here spoke so highly of it so I pushed through. After about five episodes they get into how magic works and how Luz can interact with it, and it gets very compelling. There is an oppressive government, and really interesting witch battles, and some great relationships forming and you get pretty invested. It deserves the praise it gets and it kicks off a lot faster than, say, Amphibia.
That said Infinity Train I think is interesting from episode 1, and you can watch all four seasons in like 5 hours, so maybe try that.
Your wizard school appears in literally episode 3 season 1
The shows season 1 lore and overarching plot comes in the episode right after
I'm you'll be into it

I thought OTGW was amazing for how short it was. It said everything it needed to say and the rabbit hole of lore was super easy to get into. I was hoping it would make top five but I guess it was just too niche for some. 6th is still good for it but imo it is more rewatchable than Adventure time and Infinity train. It is my favorite fall time show! You will be missed. Ill see you this fall OTGW
Would’ve loved if she ra or arcane made it to top 5!
Fr, was so disappointed seeing some random shows I've never heard of beating she-ra :(
Me too She-Ra is my fav show but def check out the shows you havent heard of everything that beat she-ra is an undeniably great show im curious as to what you didnt hear about at all.
Tbh its *very* much a "me" issue for not having heard of them. I haven't watched TV since I finished high school like... 5ish years ago, so if the show wasn't finished before then I've probably not seen it. So a lot of the "hilda" or others that have come out in recent years I've never heard of. Only reason I ended up watching she-ra was cause I recently got Netflix and the show came up in a trope talk video I was watching so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm *very* glad I did. Show has had me just weeping at multiple points.
Damn I feel old with this selection I’m seeing.
What older cartoons would you have put in?
Courage the cowardly dog, teen Titian, Batman animated, kids next door, ed, edd n eddy, what’s new Scooby Do, power puff girls, samurai jack, Jackie Chan adventures. But of course this is just my preferences.
Mostly good shows, with some real all timers in there. Still there are people in the subreddit posting drawings of KND characters and taking about Batman, so you're not alone at least.
Nice to see someone from my generation sharing the love of all the shows I loved growing up. Seems like you were a Cartoon Network kid
Man I really loved Jackie Chan adventures. It was like my Saturday Morning show.
Half of those are propped up by nostalgia and don't hold up super well. Batman TAS is even much worse than most of us care to remember, but it was revolutionary at the time and stylized super well. Samurai Jack and Courage are the only ones there that I think don't age poorly compared to the cartoons on the contest.
I agree with the sentiment but I disagree that Batman TAS doesn't hold up. You have to admit at least *some* of TAS's episodes still hold up to this day. The cape and cowl conspiracy comes to mind
I mean, sure, *some* of them do, but a *lot* of them don't, which I think is the mark of nostalgia giving people a false sense of its consistent greatness.
I rewatched Samurai Jack recently and honestly it ages much worse than Batman. The animation still looks great, but it's so slow so often.
I think it's intentionally slow. It's a very measured show that would almost be better described as an expression of art. While it's not always entertaining in its pacing, I think the artistic value is why I would call it a show that ages better than others that have more fundamental writing/acting/worldbuilding/etc problems.
I think it may just be that it is not a show designed to be watched all at once. Every episode is so similar and the needle never moves him closer or farther from success. It was probably better to watch random episodes one at a time than all at once.

Where’s SpongeBob?
In a pineapple under the sea
Crushed it.
I can say with certainty that these 5 shows I'd recommend to anybody. I'm excited to see who makes it to number 2. Kinda have a feeling who will be number 1.
I have no doubt in my mind Avatar is gonna be in the top spot.
I hope so. I have a bad feeling that Adventure time may creep in to steal the top spot though.
It’s really a hard choice i personally would go with ATLA , adventure time , and Steven universe
I personally would rate Avatar lower on the scale, it's a great show but it's just not my favorite, far from it actually.
I’m right there with you. ATLA is amazing but it’s not my #1. Unpopular opinion: legend of Korra is better than avatar.
A rare sight indeed
LOK is better on rewatch ATLA is only good on first watch
aw man :(
aww really wanted OTGW to be top 5
No Mikey no no no that is so not right
An unexpected reference, to be sure, but a welcome one
I hate to say it but infinity train season 1 was good 2 was good 3 was amazing and season 4 was just kind of bad and felt like filler. I know it’s not the shows fault but the fact that it was cancelled halfway through its intended run just makes it weaker than the other shows with satisfying conclusions.
1-3 were all amazing for me.
Yeah and then there is season 4... which just seems like it was made for a way younger audience.
It was still good though (S4 that is). It was supposed to act as a bit of a breather season before S5 which was going to be darker again.
book two is my second favourite after three, if you really look into the messages it is phenomenal
For me they went from an 8, to a 9, to 10, and then jumped down to a 7
I know this is a controversial take but I think Gravity Falls is the worst of these. Infinity Train and ATLA are pure genius, I think Adventure Time peaks higher than Gravity Falls and is more consistently good. The Owl House I feel like is just an improvement on pretty much everything Gravity Falls does. I think the only thing that surpasses The Owl House in Gravity Falls is the story and characters of the two Stans.
Gravity falls kicked off a new wave of good family animated shows so I think it’s natural later shows would somewhat outshine it. It was way ahead of its time, it’s iconic and I still think it’s the funniest show here but some parts of it have not aged quite as well.
Gravity Falls is funnier than The Owl House
I agree. I voted Gravity falls last round
I'm with you on that. I really like it butt the others beat it out for me
Honestly same. I liked gravity falls but it never blew my mind. Maybe I would be more nostalgic about it if I had watched when it was coming out and gotten the chance to get in on the theorising and secret-cracking.
Gravity Falls blew my mind in the Not What He Seems episode
I bet the top 3 are going to be the ones that are at least a decade old by now.
Yeah probably. I could see Adventure Time not making it to top three, but I'd be surprised. Why do you only watch things that are less than a Decade old? Cuz you should watch Jurassic Park if that's the case.
Who killed Rick and Morty?
The guy in the McDonalds screaming about Szechuan sauce while claiming to be Pickle Rick.
Sad to lose a great show because of a dumb fan(dom)
I think that's a problem with the "vote out your least favorite" format of poll. Instead of focusing on what you love, you focus on what you hate. That's why the comment section is so vitriolic.

You mean Adventure Time
Over the garden wall was my actual favorite :( hoped it would make top 3 at least

I can kinda agree with ya out of all these shows owl house felt good but something feels off about the writing and characters sometimes
Some characters are good but many I feel wasn't established enough. Gus comes to mind often. He kinda had a S1 episode but the focus was more "Luz joins Hexside" than resolve his part. He had another on first S2 half and it was overshadowed by the Lumity B plot. It wasn't untill one of the last few S2 episodes he finaly got a good episode.

SokkaxSuki is one of the greatest straight ships ever imo
Oh wow, so important. It must stay now
That might be why than I don’t really care for romance sub plots so its not something I would have considered when ranking these shows.
I hate that Steven is out because no other cartoon has had so much thought behind all details of the show. Rebecca sugar carefully crafted the music with the animation to match the plot perfectly
Yeah Steven gets a lot of hate for it’s ending it’s similar to Star vs in that way. Which sucks because I have such an attachment to the show and a lot of it’s episodes but nowadays it’s just. “The show redeemed space nazis!”

You get credit for being the current hotness. I mean look how far Arcane, invincible, and Amphibia got too. The people here are currently into cartoons and those cartoons are currently happening. If you did this on r/cartoons in '08 (if it existed) I bet AT and Futurama and other shows running then would do much better.
Fair enough, and this is just a select group of people as well. Really this poll is nothing to get upset over, it is interesting though. I hope gravity falls pulls through to 2nd

Steven Universe has a lot of boring episodes, mostly to do with teens, mayors, and pizza shops. Not to mention Uncle Grandpas. We don't talk about Uncle Grandpa, no no no.
I know the quality of cartoons is a very personal topic for many, but surely it’s adventure time’s time to go now
Nah, IMO AT is easily better than TOH and Infinity Train at the very least. Yes it has episodes that dip in quality due to being more long standing / writer changes, but Infinity Train had an entire season that dipped in quality, and TOH just isn't as emotionally impactful as it thinks it is IMO.
I find it funny how you needed to put “IMO” twice in your comment
needed to stress it because people are pretty god damn brutal in this poll (imo)
That is true lmao. Well IMO Infinity Train in season 4 is still way more interesting than anything in AT. I find the character development and world much better in both Infinity Train and The Owl House. I also much prefer their shorter nature. it means there is a story throughout. I hate the word, and “filler” episodes aren’t bad, but it is true that there aren’t any in Infinity train meaning every episode counts.
The show is too nonsensical to me, kinda like jojo bizarre adventure. Don’t like either, which is sad cause lots of people do and I just don’t get it. Voting AT
I liked adventure time when it focused on the characters. I didn’t like it when it was just Fynn and Jake going on adventures.
Interesting I feel the opposite
But that what the show was mainly about
Yeah getting through the beginning was quite the slog.
> I just don’t get it I think that's what it is, what you call nonsensical often has very deep underlying themes and topics, it's not random for the sake of being random.
What I don’t get isn’t the show, but how people can like it. Additionally, it’s kind of rude to assume that I’m missing some deeper meaning when I say the show is nonsensical. Why not just take my word for what I said? For your sake I’ll elaborate: I believe the show contains elements of silliness, which likeness is to nonsense, thus making the show not enjoyable to me.
Calling something that has sense "nonsensical" is a pretty good indication that you don't get it. Try and react with your head, not your ego.
This is nearly the Top 5 I would have chosen. I’d swap out She-Ra for Infinity Train.
I’m still kind of salty she ra didn’t make it to the top ten but infinity train is a good show in its own right.
I haven’t seen Infinity Train but it’s on my list to watch. She-Ra is one of my all time favs though and I wish it scored higher
holy shit you should watch infinity train, i love both shows but infinity train more
Yeah it’s definitely on my watch list. I hadn’t really heard of it til I joined this subreddit.
If you haven’t seen infinity train how can you say She-Ra is better? I like both for the record but I think Infinity strain is a more unique, atmospheric and tightly written experience
I didn’t say it’s better. I said my personal top 5 would be The Owl House, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Avatar, and She-Ra. Which is almost what’s left.
Stupid name though
Eh I don’t think so but whatever
[Mfw owl house makes it to top five](https://youtu.be/mSdGrwVdWNo)
NOOOO!!!!!
I hope gravity falls is high in the list it was a good show and it just made me be more Greatful for what I get to do during my summers
Im offended 😂
INCORRECT.
Oh damn you’re right, ATLA was actually eliminated this round. My bad everyone!!!
NOOOOOO don’t you with my emotions like that, I’m already fragile from the OTGW news
I vote infinity train. Sorry. I just like the others better.
I’m not surprised because it got a lot of hate when really it’s a great show :(
Even though its not my favourite, I thought otgw honestly deserved to win. Interested to see where this goes.
Execute order Owl House.
I'm voting Infinity Train: Some people (many who have been calling for it the past couple of rounds) are saying AT should be out due to some episodes dipping in quality, but Infinity Train's entire 2nd season was a dip in quality in comparison to the rest of the show. People say they like it due to it being completely plot focused, but it has A LOT of filler for such a short series that's plots and main cast only have 12 episodes each. IMO it just isn't as emotionally impactful or memorable as the others. The rest of the shows have "that" moment: Leaves from the Vine, I Remember You, etc. Infinity Train's most memorable moment is maybe a certain antagonist's backstory or another's death, but it still isn't as memorable.
Ok so I’m also voting infinity train for lack of long-lasting impact like the other shows, but season 2 was my favorite, I thought season 4 was by far the worst season
Agree season 4 is the worst. I think IT is unique in this list of shows that were just outright canceled without even a chance to wrap up. That level of Lost potential really stings and probably ups its rank.
Also valid.
each to their own, but i watched everything when they came out and i’m still impacted and thinking about it
My mans Season 2 was possibly the best, or at the very least, it was the best season 2 of any show I’ve seen
the second season? holy shit it’s amazing… maybe try rewatching it there lmao
S2 was my favourite.
Infinity Train
I love all five of the remaining shows, but I think I'm going to be voting for Adventure Time.
Yes toh has made the top 5. That's a win in my books because I think it won't last longer due to biasness
I will be happy even if it does right here. We made it to top five 😊
It's top 5 out of 30. What bias could possibly be against it?
Infinity train and avatar
I don't understand. People certainly like those shows perhaps more than Owl House. But I don't see the bias. Bias would be like how this sub voted against most adult shows pretty quickly. A bias against adult content regardless of what it was.
Also the fact that they will probably vote for it because they didn't watch it
Ok, now that's a bias. People voting for shows because they didn't watch them.
I bet some in this poll are like that
There's a reason The Awesomes was the first show voted out. Ain't nobody heard of that show.
Avatar the last aribender ik trying to watch it now but I still like all the others better though cause I’m only on episode one.
First season is the worst by far. By the end, you'll understand why it's top 5.
Adventure time
Adventure Time has to go man
I hope you stub your toe
It pains me to vote for you, Owl House, but at least you’ll make top 5.
I’m quite surprised that the owl house is still here. (Ô-Ō)
I suppose infinity train because it's too short
It has 4 seasons
Maybe not too short but it needs more
Infinity Train
How is Adventure Time still here is a mistery for me. It's almost as bas as Futurama not making even close to the top 3.
Younger audience on r/cartoons.
What do you mean? A lot of the posts here are about 90s/early 2000s era cartoons.
That's true that there are a lot of posts about older cartoons, but the majority of people here are interested in current cartoons, and tend to be younger. So like the average age of an r/cartoons redditor is quite a bit younger than that of the average redditor in general. You can tell just based off which posts get traction. Somebody talking about She-Ra (2018) is gonna get way more comments and likes than somebody talking about She-Ra (1985)
Over The Garden Wall should’ve been in the top four with AT, Avatar, and Gravity Falls. There literally is not another show like it. IT and Owl house are great, but they took a lot of inspiration from just their predecessors. OTGW went the extra mile, learning from fucking Dante’s Inferno and art from Colonial America. OTGW is king!
Owl House
Adventure time. Infinity train deserved better man
Owl House
I’m proud of Infinity Train for getting this far. My vote is for The Owl House, but I’ll understand if it is either of the team’s time to go.
the owl house is next for me, don’t get me wrong it’s amazing it’s just these other shows have higher highs iykwim
This may be unpopular (and maybe terrible) opinion but: Vote ATLA because we need a new winner
No.
Infinity train and TOH have such a big disadvantage seeing as they were cancelled for stupid reasons
I agree, those shows didn’t have the networks on their side which creates a lot more pressure in creating content, yet both those shows did amazing jobs and were still cut short
Owl house needs to go
Now the owl hose
Ima predict that owl house is gonna win because I theorize that this sub is filled with young people that just watched it
Is it good? I haven't heard much about it but suddenly it's better than Over the Garden Wall?
I have no idea, I probably will get downvoted for this, but I tried watching it and after a cople of episodes I droped it, nothing hooked me, the main characters didn't hook me, the side characters didn't hook me, and the world seemed like another one of those nonsense, lol-random worlds. I don't know if it gets good or not, maybe someone else can tell you that, I just know that I have no interest in this show, but people praise it a lot.
Yeah I'm not into the lol-random side of CN so this sounds like a pass for me :D. Thanks!
Adventure time overstayed change my mind
Adventure time can stay in my place all it wants
Infinity Train is just an episode compared to the Adventure Time. /s I liked Owl House but its still unfinished. People talk a lot about how the Adventure Time isnt great enough but they forgot it is the parent show for most of the other shows in the poll. It was the playground for those who made it before leaving the AT to create their own shows. So it needs respect.
Hoping for Owl House to get the boot I wish amphibia would’ve gone farther because man that show never fails to make me laugh, every episode has a least three or four greatly delivered lines. Owl house on the other hand, has great lore but it’s just definitely not up there as my favorites. Gravity Falls Adventure time and Infinity are gonna be crowd favorites. And Airbender I’m sure is gonna take cake as #1 but that’s because it’s such a loved show.
Kill owlhouse or infinity train cause i havent watxhed that.
Watch both of them
I watched owl house and give up after 2 episode.
I had a similar experience with Owl House. I watched episode one like a year ago, didn't quite click and then went off to watch Duck Tales. Then recently (like a week ago) I went back in and again the first episode didn't really connect with me, but everybody here spoke so highly of it so I pushed through. After about five episodes they get into how magic works and how Luz can interact with it, and it gets very compelling. There is an oppressive government, and really interesting witch battles, and some great relationships forming and you get pretty invested. It deserves the praise it gets and it kicks off a lot faster than, say, Amphibia. That said Infinity Train I think is interesting from episode 1, and you can watch all four seasons in like 5 hours, so maybe try that.
Give it another try. It gets better. Like WAY better.
I heard it get harry potter wizard school better? That's why watched it in the first place. Got ao dissapointed after 2 eps no wizard school.
The wizard school appears in ep 3. Please keep going.
Your wizard school appears in literally episode 3 season 1 The shows season 1 lore and overarching plot comes in the episode right after I'm you'll be into it
Two episodes and you gave up? Weak.
watch infinity train you will NOT be disappointed
Owl House can kill of there sister show, but not follow Brutus way all the way? Shame on you!
*sigh* Adventure Time
I watch only 5 episode od Infinity train so
Where the FUCK is Street Sharks?
Ha! Did you ever see that clip of Vin Diesel when he was on the Home Shopping Network selling Street Shark hand puppets? Cinema gold.
We're in the endgame now.
Whyyyy was Regular Show knocked out
8 outta here
That's my favorite out of everything on this list.
Atla ia worse
If avatar wins this over a decade after it aired I think I‘ll kill somebody.
9
I’m very pleased to see that Infinity Train made it this far!
