Spin thread: Cartoons aint what they used to be either

[Rollo Goodlove]

One saturday morning Hell even the bible channel made waking up on saturday morning worth the while. I never watched kids wb unlesss yugioh was on or it was afterschool but as the day would whind do I would watch some of the super hero cartoons on fox kids.

I'd have a plate of eggs sugar girts and bacon watching llyod in space or recess while the grown ups be politicking

I remember when the black male characters were always straight and masculine (Panthro, Kwame, Harlem GlobeTrotters, Black Vulcan, John Stewart GL, Skeeter, etc). Now they want to shove the gay agenda down our throats and shyt

No I didn't , this is why I say being born in 95-98 is nice because you get the best of both worlds. The 90s re runs of old cartoons and shows, PS1/early PS2 days, then in the mid 00s this age group is around 7-10, finally experiencing the newer cartoons that made our generations childhood. Everyone born way before or after are either too old to have that childlike curiosity or too young to even know this era existed.


To conclude, I lived two childhoods.

What are yall serious saying the writing is much better today? I believe it arguably is not. The writing today is some dumbed down and the more juvenile than many of the shows we stanned from back in the day. Of course you can find one or two examples of cartoons from today that has good writing but those are the exceptions not the rule especially in comparison to the better written cartoons from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.
