It's been 6 years and I'm still wondering, WTF HAPPENED?

It's been 6 years and I'm still wondering, WTF HAPPENED?

All I remember is the broadcasting being a complete mess

Mostly because it was airing during a bad time for action cartoons.
They were all getting unanimously cancelled left and right.

>bad time for action cartoon
And there is any good time for action cartoons?
There is even any action cartoons any more?

The last action cartoon I remember is Beware the Bat...oh, and Voltron I guess, but I haven't watched it.

>that massive drop in quality between the first two eps and the entire rest of the series.

gee I dunno guy. it's a complete mystery

Toys didn't sell, got new writers after the first two eps.

They fired the guys who wrote the pilot and replaced them with insane people.

Sw rebels?

CN let Bandai handle the toys despite how shit their toys are.

that would explain a lot

Netflix revival when?

Really? Sauce?


Did the ratings actually suffer though?

This actually happened.
The entire writing staff that was responsible for the pilot was replaced by new guys who all had mental or emotional issues.

>There is even any action cartoons any more?

Justice League Action.

But even that has adopted the 15-minute quasi-comedic formula of modern CN shows. Like it's trying to find some sort of middle ground to trick kids into watching an action show.

>all had mental or emotional issues.
Explain, note "i don't like their writing" doesn't count as mental or emotional issues.

>everything goes to shit after 2 strong starting episodes
>Lion-o doesn't learn shit
>the shit he needs to learn is common sense
>the entire main cast are massive fucking pricks

It got so bad Lion-o pretty much up and fucking died and no one cared enough to go see if he didn't drown. I still can't make sense of the one episode early on where they resolved to die fighting because it was the right thing to do or some shit.

>This actually happened.
I'm not doubting you i just want to read about it.

someone post the image of one of the writers having manchild melt down on a fan already

>"i don't like their writing" doesn't count as mental or emotional issues.
I love that this needs to be explained.

Wasnt that the lead artist?

These things, sadly. Also, it was my impression that the reboot didn't attract a proper *new* audience as well as the old one, and that kids passed it off as an "Avatar with cat-people wannabe." ...Regardless if that was true or not.

I don't know about "mental issues", but they seemed to have a huge hard on for Tygra.

Tygra was based af tho
