I just finished watching season 2, and discovered it was cancelled so no season 3. Why? What was the reason? It's a good show. Can you explain me the reason of this choice?
Because Cartoon Network is incompetent.
It was a shitty show that deserved death.

Because Weisman is cursed. Even his Kanan ongoing got canceled after two arcs.

It really wasn't.
It's okay to admit that Weisman fucked up. Nobody's perfect.
bad toy sales

Merchandise didn't sell well and the show was really expensive. It got decent enough ratings but the days when advertising revenue could compensate for costly production were long since past.

If you can't sell superhero toys, especially in this age of capeshit movies, than you don't deserve to run a company.

Kids don't buy figure toys anymore. They buy video games and microtransactions on mobile games.
And Minecraft, they fucking love Minecraft.
>>78293479
They made one set of toys that were really low quality, expensive, and didn't even end up in most stores. It was doomed.

Then they shouldn't be basing the success of a cartoon on products no one is interested in anyway.
I liked Bart. He was an adorable little shit.

Congrats, you've stumbled upon why there are no action cartoons anymore. They gave up trying to push toys no one was interested in.
>>78293479
Green Lantern tanking had a lot to do with that; stores were reluctant to deal with superhero toys in general and DC in particular after getting stuck with all the merchandise from that film.

>It's a good show
>>78293259
It was a cartoon in 2012. That's reason enough.
>>78293730
Who the hell else would fund a show like Young Justice? They need the toy company money, because they're the only ones willing to shell out for action cartoons.

>Hasbro
Hasbro knows how to thrive in today's economy. They know how to give kids the apps that they want, and how to translate that into toy sales.
Mattel? Not a single fucking clue. There's a reason Disney took their business from them to hand it to Hasbro.
>>78293730
Yeah it's retarded, I don't get it either
>>78294343
You sell ad space based on ratings like real networks do
>>78294442
Nope, watch this, literally Greg Weisman talking about finances behind Young Justice and other shows.

Too many girls watched the show and that was bad in their eyes. Also boys wanted shows more like TTG.

Greg already called bullshit on that. Dini was mostly talking about his own show and was speculating that it happened to YJ as well.
The actual answer is, as you know, NO TOYS LOL.
