>>117441842This

>>117441522Same quality roughly. You have some great stuff recently, you have some meh. Ten years ago this was true though if I remember there was a real dry spell in cartoons generally in the late 2000s, but I can also say this was true in the 90s too. Some stuff I remember being great really just does not hold up.

>>117441967Yeah>>117441522So far things have been fine since 2010. No major drop or increase in the quality of shows since then.

>>117441522I wasn't a kid 10 years ago, that was when I graduated high school. My childhood was Hey Arnold, Dexter's Lab, and shit like that not Adventure Time and Gravity Falls. I've enjoyed cartoons consistently throughout the entire 2010s, though, and I think She-Ra, Kipo, Amphibia, and Hilda are better than many of the cartoons in the first half of the 2010s.

>>117441564As the original creator of the image, fuck all of you.

>>117441522Cleopatra feels like a 2000s cartoon.

>>11744152210 years ago was the 2010s, cartoons already sucked by then, they were better 20 to 40 years ago, not 10 years ago.

You do realize that 10 years ago is Adventure Time territory and that Steven Universe isn't far out from the horizon then. Go a little further back and you have CN Real times and the dark ages of Squirrel Boy, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, and to a lesser extent Camp Lazlo.Maybe you want to go a little further further back?

I mean shit got gayer over time,but I like owl house so I don't know

>>117441522it depends.On one hand I would say what has become better was that a) there is more of an attempt to make serialized storytelling in cartoons than before. More plot driven elements, even if a show is for the most part episodic or even just wacky.And b) while I despise the way a lot of "representation" is handled in certain cartoons (Steven Universe despite having the most ofit and wanting to adress "mature" subjects, fails miserably in their execution to the point "Future" felt to me like a god damn epilogue fix fanfiction that actually does right what the main show did wrong).Lastly, I just hate how certain cartoonists treat the old stuff from the 80s and 90s nowadays like shit when in reality that stuff could be very dark and more mature at times. At least back in the 90s there were also shows where the main characters are not some dumb kid under the age of 15. Godzilla the Animated series and Extreme Ghostbusters e.g.?

>be honest, were cartoons better 10+ years ago, or did we just get older, and now the zoomer cartoons seem like shit?>Implying cartoons 10 years ago weren't already in the zoomer era

>>117442007Its the opposite. The average user on Holla Forums is probably like 14 who are still going through their edgelord phase where cartoons are for faggots (which is kinda true nowadays ngl but still)

>>117442568those are cartoons for gen x at oldestnot everyone older than you is a boomer

Honestly I've grown through that phase where cartoons were made less and less and channels were filled with liveaction stuff or anime. I don't like many current cartoon but there's such a huge variety of them now I always find something that entertains me.

>>117444241Some of them in that pic are boomer, like Underdog. Some are even millennial, like Captain Planet.

>>117441522A lot of cartoons were jagged glass and bad jokes with a crappy and uncreative premise. Like My Gym Partner's a Monkey.On the other hand they were just cartoons, not a platform for people on a single social media website to demand what they want within 280 characters. They just made seasons of shows without people expecting it to go off course due to their hot opinions. And you could still do humor without worrying about anything but standards and practices, while today literally y7-level humor can be too spicy and offensive for people who never quite emerged into adulthood, they just got jobs. (Like lil' coal miners did.)Then again, really shitty animation was common and some major cartoons are like "well, it was good for flash animation at the time."

>zoomer shit>lesbians>Hilda and KipoSo this is just going to be a normal occurrence now, huh?

>>11744152210 years ago they were entirely focused on the fun, now we have shitty plots with unsatisfying endings and lgbt pandering in fucking kids shows, and in most cases the animation quality also dropped. Only thing that improved was the porn

>>117441522Huh, could stand to see a competent male protagonist again...

>>117441522Yes

>>117441522CNReal was ten years ago. Cartoons were bordering on dead at that point. Things have gotten way better since then, but the peak of late 90's/early 2000's has not been reattained

>>117442568Same, and I went to high school twenty years ago. Cartoons today are better than anything I grew up with. I think a lot of people just go through a phase in their early 20s where they become cynical and nostalgic for their childhood cartoons. Then you get over it and realize you grew up watching junk.

I like some cartoons and don't like the others, I watch cartoons I like, I cracked the code.

>>117441522>were cartoons better 10+ years ago, or did we just get older, and now the zoomer cartoons seem like shit?Nope. Cartoons are much better now.

>>117441842Not this

>>117441522Cartoons were always shit but the biggest difference that makes cartoons these days a bit too unbearable is the overwhelming faggotry that progressives inject into them. But you take what you can get I suppose.

>>117442164True.

>>117441522This is why majority of people watch anime and cartoon industry is dying along with Disney

>>117446443Anime’s just as dogshit as western cartoons. Not for the same reasons, mind you, but for other valid reasons.

>>117441522OP image is literally what we get out of this board everyday. i'm sick of it.

>>117441522I want to fuck all of them.

>>117441964Nah, boys prefer anime nowadays.

>>117446443>This is why majority of people watch animeAnime glorifies sexual abuse and should be banned.

Cartoons nowadays are just made for gays and women.If you're one of these 2 groups, chances are you love modern cartoons.If you're not, chances are you hate them.Holla Forums just happens to have tons of gay guys and women compared to other boards.

>>117443993So, can we agree that Gen Y had the best chilhood entertainment?

>>117443993Best Holla Forums of each age:>Early gen XScooby-Doo>Core gen XSpider-man>Late gen XGhostbusters>Early gen YBatman/TMNT tie>Core gen YRecess>Late gen YATLA>Early gen ZStill ATLA?>Core gen ZHow to Train Your Dragon>Late gen ZDragon PrinceRating the ages:Late Y > Late X > Early Y > Early Z = Core X > Late Z > Core Z > Core X > Core Y

>>117447135early gen z is probably horse show whcih was popular on Holla Forums

Its a fact that very few people on neo Holla Forums have an appreciation for the animation medium outside of the next flavor of the month waifu garbage they can ingest. Or something thats unfunny, with soft, inoffensive artstyles and zero charm.Then they move onto the next one.

>>117441983why is am i surprised that Holla Forums comes here and shits up the board?

>>117441967really good

>>117441522Hmm. Shit like A.t.o.m., witch, x-men Evolution, totally spies,teen titans.. not too mention classic cartoon network stuff...Yeah I gotta say they were better.

>>117441522Including the cartoons on cn, nick, Disney, and the ones streamed on Netflix, its not too bad. More bad apples then previous generations but Netflix and Hulu cartoons are making things better. The only thing lacking is the absence of action cartoons.

>>117447323All of them are recent.

>>117447413>15+ year old cartoon>recent

>>117441964>boysgenders don't exist anymore, bigot.

>>117447438Shit, you are right. What the hell happened to the last 10 years of my life?

>>117441522Looking as a whole, I'd say cartoons are better than about 3-10 years ago but not as good as 10+ years ago. Some of what is currently airing is in fact as good or even better than older series but there's extra shit shows pulling those down when averaging.

>>117447567^MyselfSince the nature of the debate seems to be about "aging out" of the medium, I will add to my previous statement that my childhood consisted of cartoons from the 1930-60s, I don't believe nostalgia is the only source of people's discontent.

>>117443993NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T POST THAT IT HAS A PONY ON IT!

>>117441842Pretty based

>>117441967Probably the best one of the bunch, followed by Hilda and then She-Ra.

>>1174415222010 was the start of deep lore and story arcs and more shipteasing or straight up canon shipping being front and center. I can see why some people would resent that and prefer self-contained episodes with random things going on at best, things were simpler then and stuff was still good at its peak. And the new stuff also has its lows. But I think current stuff at its best is really damn good.>t. born in 1994

>>117447897This, story arcs are much better than endless stream of selfcontained episodes. A sense of progress and character development makes it easier to invest in a series.

>>117449108Fuck off, Looney Tunes Cartoons is a shitty and stupid cartoon it belongs in the trash, I prefer to stick to the older ones which were much better.

>>117441522Well only half of those are particularly good, so no

>>117441964hell no. most of them have switched to anime because these shows are becoming more and more allergic to having any real reason to watch outside of shipping garbage

Cartoons nowadays are made by LA rich kiddies whose life experience peaks at what Nintendo games they played and having anxiety cuz their daddy was mean to them, so yes they are worse.
