I don’t think there’s a whole lot going on right now and I don’t think we’ll have another great decade of cartoons unfortunately.
Adventures Time and the new Avatar show are just continuations of shows spawned in the 2000’s. I can almost guarantee that the new Avatar show will not be good. Steven Universe another existing IP. Lowe Decks is great but has been cancelled.
Even if you counted all of these cartoons as new, fresh, and greats, they pale in comparison to that 98-2010 run with literally dozens of new and iconic shows. Kinda seems like the era of cartoons is coming to a close. With these last vestiges just milking what nostalgia there is left.
You know how I know you've never watched Fionna and Cake?
