Anyone get the feeling that Sup Forums shit in general has gotten...kinda...well, boring?

Anyone get the feeling that Sup Forums shit in general has gotten...kinda...well, boring?

It's these executives. They have nooooo creativity.

MLP was the last interesting thing that was released that was Sup Forums related. Anything after that has been either boring or cliche. Or just another "dude CalARTS cartoon LMAO"

I have zero interest in like everything that is currently airing cartoon-wise save for star wars rebels. And even that I only somewhat enjoy due to riding the Clone Wars high.

I miss ATLA/Korra threads mostly.

We almost had something with the Cuphead threads. People coming up with boss ideas, episode ideas for a hypothetical show, fan art, etc.

But since the mods can’t decide if Cuphead can be considered honorary Sup Forums, they just nuke the threads just because.

This also applies to any “What game would make a good cartoon?” Threads.

You should just browse desu archive to past the time between avatar threads.

What made it great were the inappropriate explosions of creativity that followed every new phenomenal show and the adult discussion that followed. Moralmods did their best to make this just another cartoon forum. They killed the spirit of Sup Forums on this board. Not only have they exiled adult cartoon threads to /aco/ and /trash/, but they followed them there to continue to police them.

Sup Forums has always gone in cycles of "fun" to "spam".

>flavor of the month
>discussion over dead series
>story times of series
>latest DC or Marvel discussions (what is right/what is wrong)
>movies (as capeshit of certain degrees has been around for a long time)
>webcomics (good and bad ones)
>drawthreads
>random threads where an user poses as a character or a series for laughs

That is Sup Forums generalized.

>honorary Sup Forums
Is that what you're calling it now? I remember 8 years ago when people here were claiming One Piece as Sup Forums because it had pirates and western themes.

>I remember 8 years ago when people here were claiming One Piece as Sup Forums because it had pirates and western themes.

I remember those threads. Even as a fan of the series, I acknowledge the issues that exist with it. To say that One Piece, anime or manga, is a Sup Forums property is nothing but pathetic.

Not to start anything but I feel as though there's more Sup Forums contrarians popping out of the woodwork for whatever reason. You know the ones.

digimon is honorary Sup Forums

The first three or four seasons of MLP are unironically some of my favorite cartoon stuff ever. Of course now the show is trash, but the older stuff was genuinely good. And, really, it was genuine. It feels like a lot of current cartoons aren't genuine. They feel... manufactured, somehow. They feel trite.

Seems okay. No big indie comics getting discussed though, which sucks. Probably too much company wars, but that is eternally true.

there are plenty of good shows Sup Forums never bothered to check out, if you only see whats popular you are going to have a bad time.

I watched a two-parter off of KissCartoons the other week as I was bored while running some network diagnostics at work during a weekend shift.

It was about a shadow monster created from the betrayal of the original object holders. Everything was enjoyable until the end, where the dilemma was resolved through friendship and the shadow monster was nothing more than a confused retard. Biggest let down I thought.

>Being surprised that they use friendship to resolve an arc like that from MLP of all shows

well whats airing thats worth talking about? honestly its not much its just rumors of the next 'bomb' for certain shows and past gripes over shows no one watches anymore or tired out hype for shows that will most likely never see the light of day.

>he said he blew you a kiss

What happened to the generals? Those were great, self-contained utopias of cancer.

Banned unless the show is actively airing.

Why would cartoon discussion be good? Almost all cartoons now are homogenized californian slop.

Yeah, with he exception of Gumball, there's nothing funny on air and the wave of "lore focused" cartoons turned out really shit at telling interesting stories.

The show is better than it's ever been.

Yep. Even the jokes got stale.

It's hard to blame anyone for that. Most cartoons that aren't popular, aren't popular for a reason. They're usually terrible and/or ugly, with only small saving graces that simply don't warrant watching it on their own. As a result, not everyone is willing to dive into a new show hoping it'll be good. They'd rather just wait and hope for a show that seems universally enjoyed to binge on.

In the meantime, they'd rather complain about the popular shows they hate rather than give the shows they're ignoring a chance. It's a shame, and it's a self fulfilling prophecy. Sure, there's going to be mountains of shit to swim through, but look for long enough and you'll eventually find that nugget of sweet corn that made it through the corporate digestive tract.

I feel like there's nothing to discuss about the shows I like. Tender Touches is a new Sup Forums show.
I like Tender Touches.
I have no desire to discuss it with you fags.
The last thread I've seen had 13 posts, and was arguing which was """best girl""".
Half this board is horny teenagers drawing porn.

TTG is funnier than current Gumball tho

Sup Forums ever form a group where they pitch in some small cash to self publish an anthology of sorts? Like a yearly thing where it's different artist/writer of short story?

Doesn't even need to be physical copies.

I haven't found a cartoon worth sticking with in years. Even if I don't drop it after the first couple episodes I just forget to keep watching.

>team of us live in an apartment
>make ends meet through part time jobs and e-begging
>work towards making an animated film

If the daicon guys could do it so could we.

Eh, popularity is relative and depends heavily on the country and the current market, stuff which is seen as network filler in one country can be incredibly big in another and with the rise of streaming, there is a great risk that a show simply falls throught the algorythm.

The novelty wore off. That is all. Yhe show was never the stellar masterpiece ex-fans imagined it as, especially not during season 1. Much of MLP's initial popularity was due to the surprise factor that, hey, it DOESN'T suck that bad. That was all.

I mean, it doesn't even need to be a team living under one roof. I am sure something can be worked out through internet correspondence and some logistical per-planning.

We're living in an age where SJWs and Sup Forums still refuse to die, what did you expect? God, I can't wait for 2018 to get here.

Sup Forums projects never work out. Sup Forums can't into teamwork even if their NEET lives depended on it.

2018 is only going to be worse. What makes you think things will look up?

The Daicon guys weren't just a bunch of idea guys trying to get their fetish drawn for free.

The big networks are in terrible shape. Nick is just the Spongebob and Loud House channel, with Harvey Beaks getting punted to the shadow realm.

Cartoon Network is the Teen Titans Go channel. Even if you liked Steven Universe, consensus seems to be the that the latest seasons have gone downhill and that the scheduling is fucking dreadful. What else is there? Clarence ended, Regular Show is long gone, and Adventure Time is going to end on a fucking Minecraft episode.

Adult Swim's schedule is clogged with Family Guy and Bob's Burgers reruns. Rick and Morty is on a serious downward trend.

For Disney, Alex Hirsch wanted out and rushed the fuck out of Gravity Falls ending. Star vs. is still going, I guess. Milo Murphy's Law is probably still going. Can't think of anything else.

Fox's animation block is in the toilet and in desperate need for new blood.

Netflix has Voltron and a million other DreamWorks shows. I don't give a fuck about Puss in Boots or Turbo or a fucking Stallion spin off.

When it comes to watching western cartoons on tv, your options are limited and not all that appealing. There's still good work coming out of the film circuit, especially independent and foreign productions, but they can be harder to access. Say what you will about Sup Forums, but you get 40 shows a season. A lot suck, but you've got options.

This.
Nah it got too generalized and forced while losing the comfy setting and mystery theme of what lies beyond. things like forced pink princesses, forced alicorns and general toy placement slowly ate it away.

Rolling for a Night of the Were Ed adaptation.

I'm not really a current comic reader and nailed why I stopped watching tv.
all that's really left is superhero movies but discussing those are looked down on here because Sup Forums exists unfortunately.

Anime is like the chans: You search in a puddle of shit, but once you find something it's gold.

Cartoons is like social media/reddit/tumblr: Everything is bland copper and iron, there might be some silver sometimes.
Unpolished diamonds turn into shit because the networks/creators have to be complacent and pander to the masses.

Friendship is fine, friendship lasers are retarded.

I've gotten that feeling about every board I'm on. And yet, here I am.

I think a lot of it has to do how Sup Forums handles discussion. Shitposting is more easier and more fun than discussion, but it gets repetitive and discourages interest.

We can't have Gwenpool threads of any sort without being swarmed by waifufags or angry shitposters. We can't talk about South Park in any context without attracting shippers an Sup Forums or ant-Sup Forums. You can't discuss shows that are generally well-liked, because you'll have contrarians coming in solely to call shows shit.

>Anyone get the feeling that Sup Forums shit in general has gotten...kinda...well, boring?
everyone in the world
>It's these executives
its actually the people who work in the cartoons and comics, they are all lazy uncreative and dont really give a shit about anything they make
its a cultural thing

Some of that's just endemic to Sup Forums. The biggest problem is a lack of accessible quality titles. I've really liked Gwenpoole, but when one half of the Big 2 produces almost nothing but unmitigated shit (and DC still puts out its fair share of trash), it limits discussion.

There's indie comics and foreign comics and we should probably promote them more, but you can't entirely blame people for not knowing where to start with stuff that's just inherently more obscure and less accessible.

>make the barrier to entry so geographically and economically exclusive that only one type of person can even think of going professional
>everyone thinks the same, so no variety or pushback on bad ideas

>Anyone get the feeling that Sup Forums shit in general has gotten...kinda...well, boring?
Whenever I start to get bored with Sup Forums I always like to visit other boards. Browsing both fast and slow boards is pretty effective since fast boards produce a lot of content for when you are bored and slow boards are more chill and have better quality of discussion.

At least Cuphead was originated by westerners.

This. Overall the show has good episodes here and there but you can't pinpoint a "fall" unless you are talking about the fandom.

>Generals originally made on Sup Forums as a way to contain discussion when shows weren't airing, so that the catalog wasn't filled with 1-5 reply threads for a show that had been discussed to death.
>When a show was airing you were allowed to just make new threads regarding whatever topic you wanted, so long as it wasn't obviously an active attempt at spam.
>Now Sup Forums does the exact opposite, stifling discussion and making popular shows feel unwelcome.
I miss the chaotic topic spam when a really popular show was airing, it was fun.

So I was thinking about trying a popular cartoon for a change and I was wondering
>Loud House
>Star Vs
>Steven Universe
>Star Wars
Are any of these good?

>Loud House
It's a pretty solid comedy series, don't expect the second coming or anything but it's fun.
>Star Vs.
Starts out kind of mediocre, gets good, currently kind of mediocre again but could get better again too.
>Steven Universe
Starts out kind of mediocre, gets good, goes to shit for about a season and a half, most recent episodes are promising.
>Star Wars
Dunno, haven't watched it.

I disagree. Sure waifushitters and politicalfags are annoying but all they do is talk about what they want to talk. If people would rather dump offmodel fan art and throw i am silly ms paint comics at each other it just means the subject of discussion is not interesting enough for them. Sometimes I see threads that can coexist with shitposting because the thing people are talking about is so interesting it outnumbers the shitposts, all it takes is a little push.

Risk-taking movies are few and far between, and a lot of recently interesting shows have either ended or are only heard from once or twice a year.

So there's less interesting general discussion.

TTG and Gumball are better than all these

>TTG
Fourth wall breaks and toilet humor are fucking shit.

>TTG
>toilet humor
There are like 3-4 episodes with toilet humor.

I used to love Sup Forums back around 2012, but now it's a husk of its former self. Nothing but shitty movie discussion and maybe cartoons and comics.

>Loud House
Very few jokes hit, so unless waifus and cuteness can carry it for you, don't bother because the stories are weak as fuck. But some people seem to like it, so maybe it's just taste, I enjoy very few Nick shows.

>Star and Steven
Boring when it's filler shit, pretty damn good when it gets intense. Reasonably fun most of the time. Characters and lore are both enjoyable with some decent jokes and action. Be advised that Star suffers some QUALITY right after it changes studios in Season 1 and Steven is visually inconsistent.

>Star Wars
Who knows. Who cares.

I recommend you also try OK KO. Once you get past the garbage visuals it's both fun and hilarious.

...

>tfw all good cartoons died 5 years ago

Everyone did. I blame moderation direction. The threads where some newly announced show was discussed and immediately 34rd ITT were some of the very best. And the promise of fresh porn was what kept discussion energetic and threads active.

Mods, newfags and live-actions killed the board. Sup Forums is a generic cartoon forum now.

>the promise of fresh porn was what kept discussion energetic and threads active.
This is what mods and a lot of newfags fail to understand. OC is what keeps a board healthy and happy. Ban the OC and you end up with current Sup Forums.

Yep. Fuchur, Simon or Ass could singlehandedly carry a thread. People would both flood ITT and foster conversation to keep it bumped. And maybe mods didn't realize this, but if you ban a drawfag for porn, he's not going to return to post SFW OC once that ban runs out, wagging their tail like a puppy who's happy he's finally allowed in the house again after pissing on the carpet.

Mods ban drawfags for SFW OC now

This. Also, they couldn't stop explaining literally everything, which killed speculation.

>Big 2 declined. DC has recovered, but Marvel is still shit right now.
>Action cartoons died, "CalArts" style became popular
>Cape movies got big and brought a bunch of people in here who only talk about movies
>Cape live action shows exploded in number with the Netflix shows and Arrowverse etc
>Marvel's recent idiocy, tumblr shit in comic media along with the cape movie popularity brought a lot of Sup Forums shit to this board in response
So ultimately, the board declined because there's not enough stuff of interest to talk about and what little there is gets drowned out by live action capeshit while Sup Forums and tumblr keep posting twitter drama.
Trying to fix this however would turn this whole board into a police state and it still wouldn't fix the problem that there isn't enough good shit of any board-wide interest coming out these days to actually really make the board come alive again.

>implying Sup Forums isn't a police state

It's an authoritarian police state, but not a totalitarian police state yet
So I guess we got that going for us.

Large chunks of the board are only concerned with live action capeshit and cartoons. There are about four or five cartoons Sup Forums can even be bothered to discuss at any time (The plot/action bias on this board is pretty strong), three or four of which they despise.

that's because capeshit is the only thing that comes out consistently enough to foster discussion. There are only a handful of cartoons released a year and they're either Netflix shows that update annually or network shows that use that godawful "bomb" format

You're wrong. You think things that are present make current Sup Forums bad, but in reality it's the things that are missing. The wild outlaw character of the board was stifled. Back then, you could make a thread about a new childrens' show about a girl and her horse and people would come in to shoot the shit about it because they knew that it was only a matter of time before someone posts a picture of the girl sucking off that horse. Even the people who are not into that stuff waited for it because they could say "this fucking board, those sick bastards" while shaking their head with a smile afterwards.

10*

>the wild outlaw character of the board
Mods did their best to kill it

People don't talk about anything other than the most mainstream American media anymore. The occasional french or spanish comic storytime is a breath of fresh air, but most would rather "discuss" for the umpteenth time why Marvel diversity and Dc movies are shit.

No, this site is just getting boring. It's the same shit every year, and whenever there's a slight bit of change faggots cry over it. Sup Forums wants change, but if it's not the exact change that they want, then it's automatically shit, and in response the series gets shit on until its eventual cancellation.

I just come on here to shitpost now, to be honest. Having an actual discussion on this board without someone sperging out over character ships, how much they hate brown people Yet would fuck a pretty one in a heartbeat or some faggot bitching about women in media as if feminism in the media is actually important and gets the creators anything more but a few years of fame before they either fade into obscurity or become completely irrelevant.

The flavor of the month threads, comic dumps, and late night discussion threads are the only redeeming things on this board, and even then they're getting worse as the years go on. Even picture related threads are just full of gay shota shipping, with barely any discussion to be had.

>Lefties destroy everything fun including but not limited to Video Games, Comics, Cartoons, Movies, Tabletop Games, Social Media, etc
>White people being shat on 24/7, and being systemically replaced
>surprised or even upset that there is some backlash

Sup Forumsmblr isn't even that Sup Forums, there is way more anti Sup Forums

>surprised or even upset that there is some backlash

Neither, I'm bored by it. For a board that likes to shit on everyone so much, Sup Forums is easily triggered by dumb shit to the point where anons are foaming at the anus in pure autistic rage. It was funny at first, but Sup Forums just gets offended by the same shit over and over.

Yeah. Not even Sup Forums is that bad

Maybe if they stop doing what we dislike?

How are lefties destroying anything but marvel?

White people aren't being shat on and replaced by anyone who matters. Again, marvel fucking sucks.

Backlash against marvel is warranted, but those Sup Forums threads go deeper than that as if fighting a culture war on all fronts is more important here than discussing comics and cartoons.

Sup Forums dislikes fucking everything from every angle. The only aspect of its "hivemind" isn't what it likes, but how it dislikes. You can make a thread saying "I like thing" and a thread saying "I hate thing" and the entire thread will be shitting on it either way. The most boring element of Sup Forums these days is how predictable its reaction will be to something; dislike, always dislike.

And instead of getting the fuck over it and ignoring these things that aren't worth their while, they act almost identical to the exact people they make fun of. I'm not saying that anons can't dislike or be offended by shitty content, but these idiots make multiple threads bitching about the same shit that just takes up space on the front page. That's why I mainly use the fucking catalog now. People act like this is their personal fucking venting blog instead of a discussion forum, and it's gross.

People don't give a shit about anything but politics now, so if they can troll libtards epic style why would they discuss comic books and cartoons?

Way too many mentally ill college kids on Sup Forums to have any discussion about anything but gamergate, Hillary and Trump

The leftie cabal in cali make all of the cartoons nowadays. All of them. They are the reason the tumblr/calarts/bauhaus style has pervaded, they are the reason for the lack of effort seeping back into cartoons after the brief awakening in the late 80's and 90's.

Welcome to the internet.

Is there anything that isn't shit now though? Maybe Gumball, but that's a lukewarm good at best. Samurai Jack was good but was fundementally flawed plot wise. Tumblr and reddit are the hugboxes, we are the antithesis to that.

Literally all I wanted to do was play video games and watch cartoons, and society has degenerated far enough they can't even produce good distractions from the culture collapse any more.

It’s probably Star Wars. Most popular shows have been on hiatus for like several months, comics a shit, and when a huge movie comes out Sup Forums floods the place and starts shitting the board up.

That doesn't explain how there's a problem outside of Marvel. How are calarts cartoons replacing white people and shitting on them? How are they being destroyed?

>The leftie cabal in cali make all of the cartoons nowadays. All of them. They are the reason the tumblr/calarts/bauhaus style has pervaded, they are the reason for the lack of effort seeping back into cartoons after the brief awakening in the late 80's and 90's.

See what I mean?

Eat a bullet, moron.

Your tastes aren't universal, my man. And I'm 100% certain that you haven't actually tried new things if Gumball and Samurai Jack are the two shows that you've picked from this year.

>we are the antithesis to that
>we

Cut that cringey shit out.

>Tumblr and reddit are the hugboxes, we are the antithesis to that.
I think there's a difference between blindly hating everything on principle and not being a hugbox. Saying "shit has flaws" is already breaking the mentality of a hugbox, you don't need to go "shit is flawed in ever conceivable way and awful and only deserving of hate and anyone who likes it should bash their skulls in with a sledgehammer." That's just as boring and predictable as a bunch of people slobbering over each others' dicks, except you're setting fire to them instead.

What were you playing and watching before that you could enjoy?

White erasure is a real life problem. demographic replacement through anti border policies, racial quota immigration, child free propoganda to whites and handout incentives to non whites, etc etc.

The only aspects cartoons have on this directly is propogada justification, ie an over representation of interracial (usually bmwf) relationships, evil white men and the like.

Barbera Cohen era Cartoon Network, pre-Spongebob Nickelodeon, and the last good console gen PS2 Xbox GC.

So to you, just seeing an interracial relationship on TV is whites being shat on and replaced 24/7. It looks like you created a lose/lose situation in your mind and you're going to find a way to be unhappy no matter what anyone does.

if taken on a vote, with sanctions like no NSFW, no namefags,no avatarfagging/spamming, no blog/writefags and etc.

should MLP be allowed back to Sup Forums as either general discussion or contained general?

It almost sounds like you love your nostalgia more than anything. What did shows and games do then that stopped in the late 00s?
