It was and still is an amazing cartoon and it would still teach a lesson to the average incel in 2023.

    If that wasn’t abstract enough … there was Ren & Stimpy.

    At least they gave us Rocko to let us know what adulting would be like before we got there.

    Pretty sure Johnny was canonically 19 - it's still cringey if it were real life but WAY less weird.

    Also he's ripped af, probably on steroids and uses sunglasses all the time

    He also talks like Elvis? But he’s blonde and also it’s never actually addressed.

    That 30 years old guy was already 30 years old 20 years ago. He should be about 50 years old now.

    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.

    I thought Rick & Morty was amazing for the first season and then I saw the man behind the curtain. They had no idea what they were doing, huh.

    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.

    Forgot that one, also epic 👍.

    The one that I'm the most bummed out about is Megas, I just loved that show, only 2 seasons man 🤦. There was a petition to keep doing it, but have no idea why CN pulled the plug, that show was epic anime satire, just loved it. Not to mention the score, people still share tracks from that show on YT.

    You're preaching to the choir, brother. I'm a huge mecha nerd, owed in large part to Megas XLR. I've read that the show was really meant for a more mature audience, and had it waited a year to debut on Adult Swim, who knows where we'd be now? I have both seasons on my Plex server, and it's such a guilty pleasure to live my childhood again. Chicks dig giant robots.

    To be honest, I was never a mecha nerd. I mean, a few episodes of this or that, mostly at friend's places, but I never watched anime or mecha on a daily basis. But yeah, I did understand the culture and the people (some of my friends were anime and/or mecha nerds).

    That's why I LOVED Megas 😂. It was an anime parody 😂. You don't see too many of those, not to mention with good animations and made to look like it's a dead serious show, lol.

    Yeah, it was meant for a more mature audience, I mean there was a lot of sex related jokes and dialogue, lol. I wish they bring it back on Adult Swim 😭. I would pay good money to see new episodes of it... I really would, that is probably the one show from my childhood that I was like "huh 🤨... you show this to kids?... that's so cool 😂" (I wasn't that young, I was like 17, 18, I understood the dialogue and the jokes).

    What can I say, chicks dig giant robots man 🤷 🤟 😂.
