Why can't the west make more cartoons with overarching stories and character development instead of episodic comedies

Why can't the west make more cartoons with overarching stories and character development instead of episodic comedies.

Because cartoons are a joke

Back to your containment board.
If you are over the age of 12 and still watch cartoons, you should kill yourself.

Kids don't reliably watch shows every single week the way adults do.

guys stop being mean

Because money.

How can you endlessly milk a series if it has a definite end?

>muh board culture

Hallo Reddit

Why are anime popular as fuck then?
And don't give me that hurr because weebs and otakus shit because kids are by far the largest group of people that actually watch them in Japan.

*burp* hey aang we-we-we gotta like bring the *burp* nations into harmony, everything changed when the Fire nation attacked, aang, everything so get on the fucking *burp* flying buffalo and lets murder the fire lord

katara is literally perfect

Dude you go to Reddit too?!

This. She's best grill in a show of nearly only best grills.
ATLA had so many waifus.

Literally the worst girl
>I GUESS YOU DIDN'T LOVE MOM

Azula was shit and you have shit taste for liking her.

>AtlA
>struggle to live up to expectations
>kora
>born knowing how to do everything

Kids in Japan also love broccoli. It's almost like people in different countries do things differently. What works there may not work here.

Korra had shit-ass ratings, despite it's more episodic predecessor Avatar, doing quite well.

>he doesn't like broccoli

everyone point and laugh at this nerd

I never said I liked Azula, only that Katara sucks.

Then who would you consider best grill?

hey user ;)

>Korra had shit-ass ratings
because it was a pretty mediocre/bad show, not necessarily because of its format

there is an entire board for cartoons. wtf is this shit

Azula > Toph > Asami > Korra > Katara

user, cartoons are for children

Is it an inherent law of the universe of the universe that animation is for children or is it just some human hangup. It's just a format for Christs sake. Why is it bad? Because its not real? What about in the future when you are able to upload images directly to your brain? Will that be for children because it's not real? Were caveman's rock paintings for cavemen children?That being said things like op, while good are definitely made for kids.

True, the show is made for kids. It's literally on a kids network.

The writing is well-done overall though and makes it enjoyable to watch for older audiences though, which is necessary for good cartoons to do or else mom and pop change the channel on their kids TV time.

Just look at all the parental humor in Rugrats.

Yeah! We were having such pleasant and intelligent discussions on this board!

because you dont need quality to make money
see korra

Zukos storyline has no right being as good as it is

Well, he did have based Iroh by his side. Without Iroh it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good.

if you are over the age of 12 and still watch television&film, you should kill yourself.

>tfw you will never drink tea and play majong with based iroh

>it's

Little soldier boy come marching home

Definetely muh dick

Off topic threads are always the comfiest because they don't have the board specific autists camping them. ATLA/TLOK threads on Sup Forums are inevitably ruined by Scrapper trying to defend his psychopath waifu.

fug, this wasn't supposed to be a feels thread :_;

...

Suki>Toph>Everyone else.

Because west can't animate for shit if it's not cgi. They hired asians to animate Avatar.

...

if you seriously want overarching stories just watch steven universe, gravity falls or RWBY
adventure time too has overarching stories
