Are good cartoons fated to be on subscription streaming media now? Will good cartoons ever be on TV ever again while cancer shows like Teen Titan Go reigns?

Maybe the toy market is suffering and is one of the reasons why action cartoons are not being made right now

what good cartoons?

Yeah. The only good piece of animations that came out exclusively on streaming platforms was Netflix's Devilman Crybaby. Everything else was mediocre at best.

Even then it was muddled at best.


Obviously he's talking about Big Mouth.

Subscriptions aren't a profitable business model for funding good cartoons. If they were, we'd have already seen them. And we all know how that turned out. Even shit like Voltron has a meager budget because Dreamworks doesn't expect it to be a cash cow for them on its own.

...

That's an interesting explanation.


What business model would work then?

Probably nothing now. The industry just isn't there.
For all the hope lumped on Japanese Anime, that industry is shriveling up as well. Budgets slashed, talent dying (Literally), shows becoming more and more niche.
Until people see Animation as something respectable in the west it will simply die, or be done on potato salad and water budget.

You talk of the entertainment industry dying like it's a bad thing. I don't care if a bunch of Marxists lose all of their money, that's what they want.

Very very short-sighted of you. The Marxists aren't gonna lose money they don't want to lose. But those guys are masters at ending up on the top of calamities.
"X industry didn't work? See you need us because capitalism failed you!"

And we ignore them and let them wallow in their deserved poverty.

Again il just be respectful and explain how that doesn't work.
Marxists don't work like that. They assimilate, destroy, and move on. Marxist ideologues don't ever end up starving. They end up shot to death after they convert the target and then the usual tyrant comes into place and removes them as useful idiots.
Burnie Sanders Wife let an entire university to ruin for instance, but nobody holds that against him. He has multiple homes but no brainwashed idiot holds it against him.
Marxists want things CENTRALIZED. The more industries they burn, the more people want Government handouts. Fulfilling a dual purpose of Centralizing Industry and allowing for further control.

You guys are confusing cultural Marxism with actual Marxism. The people who run these companies like to make profits.

Remember that Dave Cullen video that he was cucked into removing? Marxism is Marxism is Marxism.

A transactional (pay-what-you-want) model is desperately needed if we want to have any hope of saving animation. Not only that, most animation shouldn't be dominated by a few big networks. Rather, animation should emulate the gaming industry, in which there are hundreds of different studios competing with each other and where any studio, regardless of their location(s) in the world, can get funding for their ideas and sell them to the world on global digital distribution platforms.


The problem with subscriptions is that they can't reflect supply and demand and are inefficient at maximizing profit. For example, if you have ten shows with high ratings, how do you decide which shows to fund if you only have so much capital to allocate, from one source no less? You can't. Netflix and its ilk have removed these important economic signals and have adopted what is essentially central planning. If their shows were sold transactionally like video games, they'd each make enough profit to sustain and even increase their budgets. But if Netflix, Hulu and Amazon did this, they would lose their cartel, and open up the industry to everyone, much like the gaming industry. They would rather have no competition and low profit than high profit and many competitors to stay ahead of.

They can't keep this up forever. Just like communism, the subscription-based business model is starting to collapse. Netflix's content obligations are starting to outstrip revenue, and it won't be long before an actual digital distribution content platform takes their place. And when that day comes, we will have an animation renaissance, the likes of which will never be seen again. And the best part is, with a transactional model, studios would have significantly more capital than they do now to reinvest, translating into a variety of high quality animated works.

Season 2 on Hulu when?

Pays the kikes money for their indoctrination streaming and then complains when the shows are shit. Wew lad

Toys have always been a case that can either make or break cartoons. Ben 10 survived for so long due to toy sales. Toys and action cartoons have always played off one another however due to tablets and smart phones the toy market is going in the shitter

Never, because it’s the property of the Internal Revenue Service now.

You cucks do realize that Netflix and Hulu are owned by mainstream media, right? To expect quality from any of their proxies is laughable, or would be if it wasn't taken seriously.

so it's technically possible that the IRS might make a cartoon?

Symbionic Taxman when?

Then what would be the ideal animation platform?

pretty sure you're thinking of Megas XLR

or did both of them get written off like that?

Cartoons, and specially cartoons for children, are toy comercials, they basically try to reach as many viewers as possible and sell their product. Now you are watching a very interesting period of time, you have tv and internet competing with each other, the reason tv got cheaper cartoons is because less and less people is watching them and investing in cartoons for tv is very risky, in the other hand subscription services have the same risk too because not enough people is using them yet, and besides users can select what they want to watch, instead of tv users who had to wait and be on an specific moment to watch a series they like.
And you can hate TTG as much as you want but a lot of kids watch it and it is a succesful show.

One that is decentralized completely from the Marxist entertainment industry.

Both of them newfag, it was both.

bump for the sageffag
