I think you mean his wifes boyfriend.His boyfriend probably likes it, so I'm sure he doesn't care what anyone else thinks at this point.
There was really only one truly great thing that came from the original.
A popular argument with the internet animator apologists is the 2011 series being cancelled due to "people not watching it", but that was shown to be bullshit with a second season in the works with 6 episodes before Lego offered a cheaper dumber knock off with that Legends of Chima leading to its cancellation. Plus I think they did what causes a lot of shows to collapse is putting it in several different time slots all over the place and not having a clear idea if they are marketing it to the kids CN or Toonami/Adult Swim audience.
I have some friends in the geek community trying to defend this as "old people complaining about this is what's killing new cartoon series"...
I have to step in and call bullshit on that one. The only reason you regurgitate something like Thundercats in a remake is because you want to cash in on the nostalgia that people have about the cartoons they remember from their childhood. Otherwise you could make any other cartoon about anthromorphized animal people , crank through the same tropes, and kids could watch it just fine. It's because you WANT the nostalgia tie in to push the product. Well, with that desire for nostalgia you have to do it well enough not to insult people with fond memories of the original (even if they're overly fond due to the patina of time effect).
If you're just going to press the button on the "remake-o-tron" to see what you need to redo next then you have to at least put together something decent with it. Instead this looks a lot like they're looking for something where they can hire sub-fanfic level writers and use an animation style they can have done with an computer after humans draw the first set of reference character art. Don't do that and expect fans of the originals to fawn over a steaming pile of crap.
Thats just how cartoon network does shit these days, they take
and turn it into
They did do Thundercats in Anime a while back
But wtf with this new style?
I just don't understand how that guy doesn't have one friend to tell him about that hair. What the fuck is he doing.
Steven Universe is fairly easy to figure out, the show is basically an allusion to sex and sexual relationships. I saw that within the first two episodes I watched, and if I can see the metaphor, then it must be painfully obvious. It also presses all the buttons that a blue haired activist would love: female empowerment, gender fluidity, same-sex couples, polyamory, being raised in an non-nuclear family, and the object of the father's desire being an overweight pink haired alien.I still to this day do not understand the ridiculous hype and adult fandom of things like Steven Universe
Hey cuz of that Ronald Reagan EO or whatever that made cartoons based on a toyline legal, we havePart of it is that a lot of these cartoons on CN are backed by the toy industry. After a couple seasons no one is buying the toys anymore and so the money gets pulled out. That's why they make cheap-ass cartoons so the toy companies can make cheap-ass toys, both sides cash out, and the show gets scrapped.
