Cartoons used to be hillarious. Now they're just... boring if you ask me. I stopped watching CN after Steven Universe started, that was the last straw, I just couldn't watch any more of that BS.
Yep, forgot about that one, Rick and Morty rocks, but no new episodes are being produced as far as I know. Gumball, Rick and Morty, they are most definitely worth it.
It's kinda like Beavis and Butthead for kids, lol 😂.
Why do you think they had no idea what they're doing?
Steven Universe started out seeming goofy, but turned out to be a fantastic coming of age story though; Genuinely one of my favorite cartoons of all time. Excellent world building and does a great job of handling complicated emotional topics without infantilizing the viewer.
If you only saw the first couple of episodes, you should definitely give it a proper watch. If nothing else, give the song "Here Comes a Thought" a listen, I assure you it's worth the time investment
I just don't like it, too serious for my taste, not enough humor, and the little humor it does have, it's borderline funny. The main reson I don't like it is exactly that, it's like a self help show. I wanna be entertained, not drown in depression elaborating emotions. My wife does that, I have enough of that in my life, don't need a show to do that as well.
Basically, I want humor in cartoons. IMO, they're made to entertain, period. Some of the old shows may not have had adequate humor for children, granted (though I think it depends on the child, I've watched most of those shows while growing up and IMO they were all great), but that doesn't mean they weren't funny. They were hillarious. Cartoons nowadays are too serious, always mixing emotions and how to deal with them. My guess is that parrents noways wanna leave this educational aspect of the child to the TV too, so my guess is that kids watch these things cuz they don't get any input from their parrents regarding these complicated subjects.
