#maybe some of the kids growing up on streaming find their little modern looney tunes

Lowkey thinking about how fucked over the Animaniacs reboot was as well as like almost attempt to bring back golden animation sensibilities cause they're not at all made for the streaming model. Funny animal gag cartoons were meant to be watched in haphazard bursts, forced upon audiences through Saturday morning TV spots or the ancient art of pre-movie shorts. They don't become so iconic because they build hype cycles and acclaim like 10 episode cinematic mini-series, they only gain that love because people were subjected to them in random intervals as kid and they grow up realizing "Oh hey those things from my childhood were like, really good and funny!" It's a kind of model that only exists from humbling putting out great kids content and letting it simmer and build fans over decades which is something absolutely no media conglomerate has patience for anymore lol.

I know someone could probably give me like a masters thesis on why the cable format for TV was unwoke and bad but the streaming, on-demand model for EVERYTHING is really bad for every show that isn't That One Kind Of Epic Moment show. There's no moderate trash anymore, it's all either like lowest common denominator brainrot on YouTube or world-shaking award winning drama #30.
