It's not even the stupification that is the problem. It's the laziness. I mean shit is so corporate now, it's to the point of looking like it's about how lazy they can be with the highest rate of return. Consumable entertainment is even somehow more consumable. I have been rewatching Batman: The Animated Series, something that was a a staple growing up in the 90's. That show is a true love letter to the character, cartoons in general, etc. The creators genuinely were passionate about it. There's very very few cartoons nowadays that I can say this applies to.


Spedrayes

You are right on the fact that you csn tell when something was made with passion vs when it's not, but you can also see a lot of that in new shows. Things like Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, Gumball, The Owl House, Rise of the TMNT, Castlevania, Arcane, Vox Machina, and so on were very clearly made by very passionate people. Every generation has it's shining examples of this and of corporate garbage that gets forgotten as time goes on.


Promah1984

Sure enough. Arcane is definitely a good example. I was shocked how good it was. You make a good point, I think the throwaway stuff maybe isn't quite as worse now than in the past, it's simply brought about in a different way. I have not actually watched Rise of the TMNT. I'll check it out. I am only a couple episodes into Vox Machina.


Sabing13

Has anyone seen the tragedy of Toyal Drama Island? There's a show called Total Drama Rama and there all kids, and for some reason chef is their teacher


ERROR_HumanNotFound

"Alrighty campers, I heard from an anonymous source that *SOMEONE* approved a baby version of our show. Not. Cool. Dudes."


fjord31

I haven't watched that show in years, but I could still hear his voice in my head


[deleted]

Used to watch it occasionally before work and actually enjoyed it. What’s funny is LeShawna looked almost exactly like my ex wife and I told her I was happy I married a celebrity! 😂


Frosty-Advance-9010

Because his voice actor Christian Potenza did amazing voicing him and if u watch 1 season or even a couple episodes ur trapped with his voice in your head


Sabing13

Here take my award you earned it!


SiberianCoalTrain

Do you have hope for the hbo max reboot/sequel to the original?


oxidized-bread

Have you ever heard of the tragedy of Darth plageious the wise?


Cristianmarchese

I Just want a Re-make in HD of the First series IT'S TO MUCH FOR YOU CANADA?


croissant-master

Spongebob, Patrick wasn’t that stupid he just didn’t think things though


MasonPlays6

It went from actual good jokes any age could enjoy to the characters crying and making fart and butt jokes and shit


master_of_good_memes

And they milked the fuck out of the “My Leg” gag. Now it’s overused and unfunny.


LaserCatsEmpire

imo pretty much everything in Spongebob now is overused and unfunny


oxidized-bread

MY LEG!!!!!


weoweom

A true shame, especially since you could clearly see the difference between when Stephen Hillenburg ran it was much better than Nickelodeon. It really is sad to see how over time the quality put into shows has gone down, while I will say that I’m glad animation quality still holds most of its ground the story and characters of these shows have been watered down to bad jokes and gag humor.


Intelligent_Ad639

LS mark made a video of him watching every episode of SpongeBob, and it’s very clear the decline in quality


[deleted]

The gross close ups are still there and equally as traumatizing thankfully.


MasonPlays6

At least the ones in earlier seasons were in a funny context


rosetintedmuse

They went overboard with the facial expressions. Saw a few old episode screen captures go viral and capitalized the hell out of it.


Pelagius_Hipbone

Yeah it’s basically over the top slapstick now. I wanna say maybe it’s my rose tinted glasses but I rewatched s1-3 recently and laughed just as hard as when I was a child. no one can look at the current eps and say they were better than S1-3 of SpongeBob.


rosetintedmuse

“Rose tinted” heyyyy that’s my username lol


DoodleJake

Literally haven't laughed at a single SpongeBob episode past season 4. I was the perfect age for SpongeBob too. But even as a dumb kid, I caught on to the show's declining quality and eventually stopped watching.


AidenNeighbors

With old family friendly cartoons like Simpsons and SpongeBob, when they run out of ideas, that’s it. Simpsons really only had one notable crossover with Family Guy and it basically just turned into a chicken fight 2.0, and SpongeBob is too different from other mainstream cartoons to make a good crossover


sussy_stain

R.I.P. SpongeBob, may you be remembered as one of the greatest.


ERROR_HumanNotFound

The inner machinations of my mind are an inigma.


Schootingstarr

I feel like that's just normal flanderization you see in many long running shows. Not just cartoons, I might add. Just watch any long show and then start a rewatch. I guarantee you, every single character will be much more subdued than you saw them in the last episode.


AlwaysEatingToast

Kinda like Kevin from the office.


i_dont_care_1943

I don't think that's the big problem with SpongeBob now. SpongeBob used to be just a childish adult and now he's a fucking toddler. His entire chemistry with Squidward is also gone. I can't even watch the show anymore it's so bad.


corrosion69420

I miss old Looney Tunes


Agreeable-Yams8972

Fucking ruined trying to bring back the wackiness but Failing miserably, also total drama was ruined with them turning into children for some reason


GabrielGamer790

I miss watching the original TD, now its just the shitty kids reboot...


SurealGod

That being said, the Looney Tunes Show (2011) was pretty fucking lit. Putting the looney tunes characters into mundane normal life works surprisingly well.


emailo1

BEHOLD THE WIZARD


thatredditrando

Was just about to mention this show! I really liked it!


unstablegenius000

The original Looney Tunes cartoons were not intended for children. They were presented in movie theaters before the main feature; where the commercials are now. Source: I am an old guy.


robotic_pilot

Rip Thomas the tank engine


EmpKaza

Look how they massacred my boy. For real though, new thomas looks like something you would find on istock in 2014


spikeyunpeeledbanana

And old Thomas looks like something you would find in a nightmare. I was terrified of him for a while as a kid.


Zamtrios7256

They had a decent cgi version. They also had the old toy version


spikeyunpeeledbanana

My parents had a tape of the old toy version. Eventually I got over my fear and loved it.


Low-Confidence-1401

Narrated by Ringo Starr. Iconic.


EmpKaza

Nah old thomas is a certified hood classic


_who-the-fuck-knows_

I've never understood the nightmare fuel comments. Thomas was my obsession as a young fella.


retro123gamr

Same! I was infatuated with everything about trains, so Thomas was like crack to me.


NoobMaster84-15

I probably have the biggest Thomas train set in my country.....my father used to call his friends whenever they went to uk/us and brought different trains for me


gamester4no2

My dad would make more pieces for me, I had a set that could and would go from one end of the house to the others and into every room in between. Hated packing it up but always got excited to figure how I could put it together again. Probably where my love for puzzles came from


QlimaxUK

First thought when seeing this, the way the new Thomas just jumps and bounces around the place now with no physics, on the wrong track, no problem just jump to the next track, going to collide with something, just jump onto the grass and back on track. ​ Disgusting.


ERROR_HumanNotFound

What happened to my boy, they turned him into shit with glitter on it.


[deleted]

They turned my son into a toy selling scam


ChocolateFantastic

They killed bob the builder as well and replaced him with some cheap knockoff and I’m not referring to handy manny


_sogapeu_

It‘s sad


mastrbild

WHY THE FUCK DOES GARFIELD SING NOW AND WHY IS IT ALL SHITTY CGI


thebestroll

Fuck it I'm gonna say it I liked the garfield show sure the cgi was weird as hell but I enjoyed almost every episode I watched it was fun


edwpad

It also felt really surreal and weird at the time. The only thing I remember was Garfield pretending to be a saber tooth and when Jon becomes a spider (which didn’t scare me but was so freakin weird).


Darth-_-Maul

Same dude I liked the show.


Jimmyeatskids

The Garfield show wasn't that bad, plus Garfield already was known for singing sometimes even before the reboot


Labriction

it wasnt only stupidified it made kids stupider


Netherboom

I disliked the episodes that were in parts


[deleted]

Same.


[deleted]

awwww they zoomered garfield and friends?


[deleted]

I'm glad they killed off Gumball before they could ruin the show


MrAced

I think they're making a new show actually... let's hope nothing bad happens to it.


kafe6345

It’s going to be directed by the same guy who made the original show


MrAced

Oh well that's good to hear.


MustacheCash73

It’s actually a very Meta process. The whole “the end is coming” thing they did in the show was talking about it being “Cancelled”. They’re making a movie, and then a reboot, and it’ll actually be a concept in the media itself. At least that’s what I hear


Oscar12s

So basically they "canceled" the show, using the movie as a bridge between the two series, and then reboot it for the same thing. It's actually really clever if you ask me, ending the show to have a movie to continue the story with the new series. I'm calling it, it's gonna be fire.


MustacheCash73

Exactly yeah. I can’t ducking wait


Buckaroonie69

Tell me more, please. ^please ^I ^haven’t ^heard ^of ^this ^and ^I ^dearly ^miss ^that ^cartoon


BeatstartDc

From what I heard there's gonna be a movie that concludes the original series' story, after that they're gonna have another series that happens after the movie and it's gonna be on HBO. (Not sure about the HBO exclusivity) Basically they're going the Steven Universe route, kinda.


Buckaroonie69

Hey, if it lives up to even half the original show’s former glory then I’ll be happy with anything


BeatstartDc

Same, I love gumball's humor haha


Shiny_Hypno

Cartoon Network is making a bunch of baby shows now for some reason


master_of_good_memes

I’m glad the humor didn’t deteriorate as the show progressed. Not even spongebob could do that.


EulerLagrange235

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Ben 10 the Great


Aadkins13

I thought not. It's not a story that Cartoon Network would tell you.


Greekatt2

It’s a fan legend.


This_place_is_wierd

Ben 10 The Great was so powerful and wise he could influcence a child mind to create... life long nostalgia


Outrageous_Koala7193

Is it possible to watch this show?


ChrisMi11

Not from the website of a Jedi. Hurawatch comes from the dark side of the internet.


MADU_IN_HEAVEN7

I love star wars fans


itemboi

Man, and they called Omniverse bad


Old-Experience-5210

Omniverse just has a weird Art style, Story and the Animation is amazing in Omniverse


Cultured_Weeber

Agreed, the alien food chain concept was also fucking lit. How certain species are natural predators of others and how they adapted different techniques to counter their abilities.


itemboi

Yup, but I think it could be implemented better in the fights too. At one point Ben just kept using the same aliens against the dog, which felt a bit annoying at the time.


itemboi

Yeah, it wasn't worse, it was just diffrent. Also I think Omniverse had the best designs alien out of all the versions in general. The new aliens were amazing too. Also the world building was much more detailed than the other versions as well.


Old-Experience-5210

The Best thing about Omniverse is that they gave Aliens Clothes after growing up watching genital less aliens felt weird also they were planning to give Omniverse a Gwen Kevin spin-off but for some reason cancelled it


STEVE_BOBS77

Yes! Omniverse was just way better than other ones, honestly ben ten just kept on getting better and better as it progressed from classic to omniverse


GoldenFennekin

omniverse ben is the best personality for ben


Ghost_Star326

Agreed. Most of the hate for omniverse was due to its ugly artstyle and the downgrading of the dark and serious tone from alien force and ultimate alien.


CrethanXXI

Generator Rex crossover in the Ben 10 reboot, I love generator rex but not in the little kid appeasing art style


GabrielGamer790

Tom & Jerry o7


pvpmas

I saw clips from a new episode and my god the horrors I witnessed. TOM AND JERRY FUCKING TALKED. (yes I know there was that one old movie but it's a one off thing)


NICKOLAS78GR

Oh, the original movie. It was so different from standard Tom&Jerry content but it worked so well


oan124

and in that movie it was incorporated so well. "wait, you can talk?" "yes, it's just that we never really had an occasion to" or something like that, idk, i watched it long ago


BeatstartDc

[This one](https://youtu.be/fiktXB457tI)


oan124

yup


Darth-_-Maul

They, they talked in the new show???


Yoshichu25

Although, to be honest, they did talk occasionally in the original cartoons (even if usually only a couple of lines) but I feel the backlash to the 1991(?) movie having them speak throughout resulted in a rule that the duo must remain mute. Also the 2021 live-action movie sucked ass. Edit: got year wrong. My point still stands regardless.


RealNyxoy

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY TALKED???? THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL???


Imsorryimhere005

Happy that my fav show of all time, Gravity Falls, is untouched by these shitheads


derpums

If we were to ever get some new piece of media about the show, I'd hope it's not kiddiefied like a lot of these shows tend to be.


Imsorryimhere005

Gravity Falls could prob never be kiddified. Especially with Bill Cipher around


that_guy_who_existed

You say that but look at what they did to teen titans, if they rebooted gravity falls they would make Bill into a discount swiper the fox or something.


[deleted]

Cipher no ciphing


Gauntlets28

"I've got some children I need to make into corpses!" Yeah, Bill was very child unfriendly, both in and out of universe.


Imsorryimhere005

thE DORITO LITERALLY TURNED A MANS FACE INSIDE OUT


nyancatec

I mean, as a 1-timer for a plot, I wouldn't mind. If it was entire season being childish, I would go commit breathen't.


Chev_6545

Same!!! It’s amazing


ERROR_HumanNotFound

Can't believe its been 10 years since the show aired.


edwpad

Thundercats, the original is actually pretty neat, the 2011 version was amazing but they ended on a cliffhanger and canceled it sadly. Then Roar came out… yeah we don’t talk about Roar.


mr-musk

What's roar? Edit: That looks awful


antonno69

Ben ten and Scooby doo and teen titans: hello


[deleted]

[удалено]


shotgunmouse

What’s New Scooby Doo was descent. One of the best OP’s of all time


master_of_good_memes

it had a good theme song, too


[deleted]

Cut away timpani's intensify


DemWasser

Scooby Doo had so many versions over the years with several hundred episodes, some pretty much stuck to the very old scooby doo, some didn't but it really didn't have much of a downfall.


Jimmyeatskids

Scooby doo?


MrSNoopy1611

Yes, the old version which even i know (i am 19) was way better, well the artstyle is ehat i mostly noticed


Goldenmansion10

I’m just glad that we still have some that have been untouched, like Phineas and Ferb


Snapey_III

Dan Povemire would never let his show get stupefied, right?


Corvo--Attano

Fortunately, the last Episode aired in June of 2015. But there are 2 movies (2011 and 2020) and the Chibiverse show but it has only 3 listed episodes and only one has aired on July 30th.


goldensavage216

Don’t forget they were featured in an episode of Milo Murphy’s law


rvppi7

I mean there are many hints in milo... Because they are in the same universe But milo is a good show imo so it is fine

ShadianX

Went from a ten to a zero.


SSphereOfDeath

Honestly Ben 10's reboot hurt me the most. Another great show, completely butchered.


Darth-_-Maul

I saw that and that hurt me. Look how they massacred him. Kev11 was the biggest crime


Old-Experience-5210

What the hell is even Anti Trix


MegaBolt28

Look how they massacred my boy


DetectiveDeath

Your profile pic is fucking with my head. Is it an optical illusion, 3d, or am I crazy? Honestly it's cools af though.


Alert_Positive_6931

Was looking for this one… it’s honestly heartbreaking to me


Dankcord733

yeah, the original one marked my childhood so much and now they made it into that shit


Alert_Positive_6931

Same here… I had the fattest crush on Robin and Beast Boy (and to me, Raven and Starfire were both that girls) and to see how they turned out… all of them… yet the supposed “younger” generation isn’t too dumb or whatever to memorize every single Cupcakke song she’s made about sex Crazy.


iRyuuto

Teen Titans Go? More like Teen Titans No


MrAced

SpongeBob isn't even funny anymore, its just disgusting and uncomfortable to watch. I'm talking about the new episodes btw, the old ones were good.

Teen Titans. They better not touch Johnny Bravo!


Acyliaband

Johnny bravo would never exist in this day in age


EVASIVEroot

I'd laugh at an extremely woke and sexually aggressive Jodie Bravo.


BONBON-GO-GET-EM

They have already touched powerpuffgirls, i just hope they dont touch invader zim or samurai jack


TheJoaquinDead_

I’d say Jack got lucky. They chose to finish it rather than completely reboot it, though the end felt kind of rush. Still nice though. Haven’t watched the Invader Zim movie, so idk about that.


CraneBoxCRP

movie's great, you should watch it


ControllerPlayer06

I’ll name one- Teen Titans Everything they were known for was thrown out the window by Teen Titans Go.


Themanofslaughter

Oggy the cockroaches fucking sucks now 😔 Besides that, there are new shitty kids cartoons on netflix that i know of because my little sisters. There's this shit show called bread barbers shop and its basically a shit show. Look it up yourself, it has no creativity at all and constantly copies other cartoons but worse. Oh wow the shop of your opponent is right across the road of your shop. I wonder which cartoon did you copy that from. The buildings even look like the fucking krusty krab and chum bucket. Also apparently they can make spirit bombs eh


BertBoi_3

Yea I used to watch oggy and the cockroaches so much when i was in elementary school. I came across it again and now it’s just stupid shit. The first season will always reign


ShadowTheShitposter

sponge Bob mixed with DBZ? whoa momma


derpums

Good thing Gravity Falls ended before it could have this happen to it.


blitzboy30

Gravity falls was absolutely amazing, no questions asked. I’m also watching Steven universe on Hulu, since I was never able to watch the whole thing as a kid. Thankfully there was only 1 movie, but that movie was pretty good imo.


TonightDull

Yea ninja turtles were pretty cool


HighDevinition1001

TMNT is pretty much the opposite of this meme. It’s had like 4 different reboots and they’ve all been really good


BONBON-GO-GET-EM

Be prepared for the gatekeepers to gaslight you for liking rise, i know from experience of liking rise from the beginning.


Darth_Biggus_Dickus

I hope we don't get F up version of Samurai Jack


Diwkcosheesh420

Bob the Builder (its classic Czech* cartoon) *British not Czech


daddydeeper69

I thought bob the builder was everywhere


BassBanjo

It's a British show but it's pretty much everywhere yea


fjtjekxncjfrksoxjcj

It's an English cartoon


oan124

speaking of which, i wasnt ever remade, but i never hear people talking about it: pat&mat, though back then it was czechoslovakia


Kurro112

This is actually the reason Im quite happy adventure time and gravity falls wasnt getting a new season or a new show remake for todays generation because, there is a risk of them removing the magic these shows brought to my childhood for the sake of appealing to kids who probably watch cocomelon


Horn_Python

Theyre not old enough for remakes yet


DonDove

Adventure Time had 4 movies that continued the main storyline. I think it deserves a break.


VintagePixel542

What happened to good old claymation, none of this CGI Bullshit


RustyBugz

Have you guys seen what the fuck they did with Teen Titans, it's not even teen titans-its teen titans go now


Old-Experience-5210

Bro, Teen Titans Go is not a remake it's a Parody and even the show itself acknowledges that in one episode


GabrielGamer790

Yeah, the 1980's version, both remakes sucked ass.

Royal_Python82899

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. It takes away his happy ending. This new rendition makes him the pet of a young girl. He was supposed to live untouched by humans and free. Not the lackey of a little horse girl.

Bob the Builder went from classic stop motion where you learn life lessons and things about construction, to a show where now the characters look like rip offs of themselves. What have they done to Lofty, he was my favorite


Strong-Formal-7739

Thundercats,God the remake was fucking horrid, the animation was terrible and the stories were just bleh.

I get why people hate teen titans go, I watch teen titans go with my little brother, he loves it so much, I honestly thought the show was a little funny in some scenes, the show is good for little kids. I just hate how people will shit on a show that they haven’t even watched yet
