Be honest, were cartoons better 10+ years ago, or did we just get older, and now the zoomer cartoons seem like shit?

Zig Forums is full of boomers that only know avatar the last airbender and EE&E

better 10 years ago

This

Same 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.

Yeah

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

A lot of good cartoons are indie now.

THAT is your answer, accept no other.

Hello Nurse ate muff and you know it.

I 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.

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

Cleopatra feels like a 2000s cartoon.

10 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

it 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.?

>Implying cartoons 10 years ago weren't already in the zoomer era

Its the opposite. The average user on Zig 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)

those are cartoons for gen x at oldest

not 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.

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

A 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."
