Huh. Cartoons went that way, decades ago :(

  The aesthetics of Dexter's Laboratory or Samurai Jack are superb. The latter in particular is a work of art, even experimental at times (as well as fun!). So I welcome this in cartoons.

    Taste is subjective. I could never get used to them. Some people say things like "bad" or "ugly" when what they really mean is "not for me." It's okay to have different tastes in art. The world would be a dull place if everyone liked the same things.

      I was referring to ones with simply shaped body parts that don't articulate, but merely shift. They just scream "cheaply made".

        You are referring to the infamous: "CalArts Style" https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/22/17381380/thundercats-roar-cartoon-network-style-steven-universe https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/22/17381380/thundercats-roar-...

          Actually, it's this, I think: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/HannaBarbera https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/HannaBarbera

          I'm afraid I disagree with internet outrage in this case. I see nothing wrong with CalArts style. It's a fashion. In time it will give way to other fashions. Old cartoons tended to look in a similar visual style too. I don't get "outrage" over cartoons. I like the style of those new Thundercats. I like the old ones too. I like the style of the new She-Ra. I liked old He-Man and She-Ra too. I just... I just can't make myself say I like My Little Pony. Sorry, my open-mindedness has limits :P

    I was more of a Warner Brothers fan.
    • the_af 7y ago
      I was a fan of the Warner Brothers too. And Pink Panther! You know what I cannot stand? The new Pink Panther (I say new, but now it must be a thing of the 2000s? New to my old man brain, anyway). Not because it's flat or CalArts or whatever, but because it's uninspiring and... well, subjectively bad :P
