>00s - late 00s, cartoons are either largely if not completely episodic comedies going by the example set by most 90s shows, or action shows doing the same with little in between

We can basically attribute the modern age of shows like SU, Star, to these two shows right?
>00s - late 00s, cartoons are either largely if not completely episodic comedies going by the example set by most 90s shows, or action shows doing the same with little in between You're insane. Good cartoons were a 2000s thing, with the exception of the mystery genre.

Yes. MLP and AT both saved western tv animation from an untimely demise.

If you're going to copy my post without attribution, at least do it right!
Noah Allen
not op but you are hilariously wrong. Mid 2000s networks were struggling to maintain the interest of their audience and kept cancelling their cartoons in favor of cheap, live action tween sitcoms and reality tv contest shows.

>2010, suddenly Adventure Time and MLP FIM come out gaining cult like fanbases, blending what appear to be typical super young kid friendly shows with elements of action, adventure, and humor into one with lore/story driven elements MLP didn't become serialised until season 4, and that's widely accepted as the time the show entered seasonal rot.
Jackson Moore
No they didm't cartoons now suck with shows like Teen Titans go ad Powerpuff Girls
Jayden Thompson
user, you're just asking for trouble using a Star Vs. pic as your OP image...
Wyatt Lopez
No they did not

>2010 >millennials who grew up on anime start getting into cartoon productions while serialized entertainment is super popular in the rest of the tv landscape
It doesn't take a genius to figure this out
Elijah Campbell
There have always been serialized shows such as Avatar Justice League Ben 10 Danny Phantom Superman TAS and Teen Titans
Julian Howard
Three of which are capeshit series, and three of which are also explicitly animesque. Try again.
Evan Lee
yes, they did
Camden White
Stop posting this shit chart with overrated shows and animesque garbage.
Nathaniel Foster
mlp is basically responsible for the fandoms as we know them today.
Angel Garcia
More AT than MLP. Trying to replicate MLP is like trying to catch Lightning in a bottle. Many attempts were made, none were successful.
Trying to replicate AT was easy, cheap, and profitable and is still being done today.
Jeremiah Cox
No they didn't there were good shows like Flapjack howder Str Wars The Clone Wars The Secret Saturdays VAtar Wolverine and The XMen and Spectacular Spiderman
Cartoons stopped trying to rip off Spongebob/Rocko's Modern Life/South Park (Mostly) and started trying to be like MLP.
Some tried and failed, some (Like Steven Universe) set the bar low and failed anyway. But to blame MLP for SU's existence would be like blaming Flintstones or The Simpsons for SU's existence. Maybe you should stop trying to stir up MLP hate and start putting the blame for the fandom's actions on the fandom.
Or are you too afraid of hive minds to disagree with them?
>MLP didn't become serialised until season 4, and that's widely accepted as the time the show entered seasonal rot. By who? Season 4 and 5 are the most consistently good seasons.
MLP had very little of that, the show staff themselves admitted they played fast and loose with continuity and most of it was fandom autism.

We had this exact same thread last week OP, with the same copy paste and OP image.
I'm not gonna type or look for what I posted last time, but just know that both AT and MLP are probably the two most influential cartoons of the decades, but AT, as well as Gravity Falls, owe a lot to Flapjack, which both gave their show creators, Ward and Hirsh, tons of experience as well as style to add to their own ways of drawing and animating.
That's not even going into how Studio disagreements and suggestions help either as well.
Henry Gray
Adventure Time inspired action shows with subpar animation.
MLP inspired SoL shows with adventure aspects and made networkswant to hire female cartoon creators.
Both started the trend of every cartoon getting its own autistic tumblr fandom.
Cameron Miller
Because 2000 we had no internet in case we lost one episode. It had to be as much episodic as possible.

>We can basically attribute the modern age of shows like SU, Star, to these two shows right? Try anime. There is a reason anime got so popular, it actually had continuity and something you couidl look forward to. also they arent even close to being first western show with episode to episode continuity, what the fuck man.

Its not even him. Its just another faggot copycat. The real one was doxxed a while ago and got scared off Sup Forums forever

It's possible that it could save the 2D animation film industry. Not going to get my hopes up but I shall find out in October.

But tbch star is not the outcome of anything you said Most of it is from Nefcy being a weeb and loving lots of magical girl anime Hell Marco was supposed to be obsessed with dbz canonically but disnot was like nah
Oliver Scott
That's pretty false user, it was a cult by season 1 and a half By the end of season 2/beginning of season 3 it was pretty decently popular everywhere Especially with the Weird Al episode in season 3 People lost their chite
