A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I never thought Saturday morning cartoons would be horrible.
They are, now, horrible. That's not just my "old" talking. With reboots, similarities, and call-backs, there's not really anything that is groundbreaking. Safe-bet, focus-grouped, merchandisable intellectual properties.
At least, all the ones I've stumbled upon.
Dude come on. That is just your old guy talking.
Have you ever watched the Saturday Morning Cartoons that you loved as a kid? They are utter dogshit.
Leave them to the sweet emotion of nostalgia.
I had these fond memories of Space 1999 as this elaborate Space adventure… OMFG it was utter cringey dogshit.
Remember how Thundarr the Barbarian was so cool and how he and his trio saved the magical world with the train… OMFG….
Yeah, I was gonna say that cartoons have gotten way better than some of the stuff I watched as a kid.
I'm sure there is still a ton of garbarge, but the top shows are way better.
I will agree that what you remember from those shows isn't quite how they are.
I loved the "Real" Ghostbusters (based on the 1984 movie) cartoon. Thought it was brilliant. Scary, funny, everything in between. Had some of the toys.
Watched an episode a number of years so, and I was shocked at how bad everything was. Jerky animation, terrible dialogue, a plot that made zero sense.
I think some of the current shows made for preschoolers are actually pretty good. Sofia the First. Spidey and his Amazing Friends
The lesson here is, you do not visit cartoons you liked as a kid. Because you may not like it the same way and get too critical on it.
