Why do most new cartoons suck so bad now?

[Twitchy-Tremor 297]

I like most the current ones but there definitely not what they use to be.

Still up for more debate.  Even dismissing all of Young Justice, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur for instance would be seen as too much in the 70s.

And well censorship was a concern even back then.  Otherwise Itchy and Scratchy VS Marge wouldn't have been made, same as Beavis & Butthead "Lightning Strikes".  Case in point:

1. Beavis's love of fire has been present in the short-lived 2011 revival and the current batch of episodes whereas the 90s had to refrain from such in later episodes.

2. Heck the whole bit of Itchy and Scratchy cartoons briefly made the duo into best friends and no violence?  Mid 70s Tom & Jerry had that precise problem.

 

Now maybe there is less coming out, but the mid 2000s had that problem too.  Especially Some Disney favorites like Lilo & Stitch The Series and Kim Possible, plus American Dragon ending.

Toon Disney rebranding as Disney XD, and CN pushing more for live action than cartoons.

But we had some gems including Friendship is Magic following.  No reason there can't be a positive repeat.

You need to watch anime cause lots of anime shows are so good! I don't watch anime or cartoons much but I still love the anime that I have watched. I need to watch more anime now that I think of it cause it's been awhile since I watched it.

Anyways, yeah some cartoons are terrible but some are amazing, I wouldn't generalize cartoons and say that most new ones are terrible but I do admit that many aren't good. Why many aren't good, I'm not sure but it's the same thing as games - like many video games are terrible but many are also good.

Ummm no. the anime hass caught the worlds attention and demanded more anime.

Now they are making animes left and right.

Now theres more trash anime than quality ones.

You only need to look at the rise and fall of Cartoon Network to figure out a large contributing factor why western TV animation quality declined.

Hanna Barbera did some amazing works back in the 90's and before that. Of course Hanna Barbera did not make My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, but if it wasn't for Lauren Faust and her experience at Hanna Barbera Studios and Powerpuff Girls, we probably never would have gotten MLP FIM.

Just dropping by to say anyone here should go watch X-Men 97, one of the best things Disney's put out in years

I don't believe cartoons "suck" nowadays we grow and experience new things constantly and sometimes our tastes change as a result.

Why are cartoons only getting worse instead of better? Not to mention some cartoons started out great but have completely diminished over time and been downgraded and ruined by crappy reboots like The Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans and Ben 10 etc. What happened to all the good cartoons like Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Batman The Animated series, Superman The Animated series, Justice League Unlimited, Static Shock, and Jackie Chan Adventures etc? And other cartoons in general that seem to be compelling and have a solid plot and motivating story? Most cartoons these days seem to just be there to rot people's brains and turn kids into idiots. They have nothing to offer but stupidity, randomness, and toilet humor. Examples: Breadwinners, Pickle and Peanut, Sanjay and Craig, Fanboy & Chum Chum, and Teen Titans Go etc. Needless to say, these shows don't live up to such a great legacy.  Sure the 1990's and early 2000's had some bad brainrotting cartoons too. But back then most cartoons were awesome and it wasn't near as hard to sort out the gems from the excrement. Mostly we had awesome stuff like the aforementioned shows. And we didn't have many shitty cartoons except for stuff like 2 Stupid Dogs and Mega Babies etc.

Too expensive. Profit reason.
