man why does this thread even exist, we're all adults so we can't have an opinion on the objective quality of children's television, that's just not our demographic
owait just kidding everything is free to criticize because we live in a free society where art is enriched by everyone's opinions instead of just the relevant ones
by you, someone who doesn't matter, and not by the investors and the demographic, the people that do matter
The only reason this is true is because they aren't even airing the original PPG right now, they're only airing the new stuff so OFC "the investors and the demographic are gonna like it". I mean, you do realize the original show had hand-painted backgrounds, a passionate Craig McCracken/Genndy Tartakovsky duo and no twerking children/borderline romantic self-inserts, right? I'm pretty sure that makes it objectively better.
I've always maintained that the minute CN decides to pull its head out of its own ass and starts to air OG PPG alongside new PPG (like they're doing now) is the minute you'll see a shift away from the merchandise-driven, animation-error-laden borefest that is the new PPG towards the old-school cartoon. Kids are not dumb. What's airing right now is mindless bullstuff, and your "kids change from generation to generation" shtick doesn't cover mindless bullstuff.
I mean, FFS, the whole show is about the PPG in high school. Forget for a second that the school subplot is literally the most done-to-death plot structure next to "the government is secretly evil" and realize that universally kids think school is boring and that
the PPG are loving superheroes. They could've capitalized on the thing that kids would like and they didn't.
