Y'know i'm starting to believe Cartoon Network isn't really in any kind of financial trouble at the moment so it begs the question why we're still following the "Show has to be less than 11 minute formula."
I get that if its 11 minutes it can play 2 episodes at once but nothing is inherently bad about posting a 22 minute solo cartoon. In fact most Action shows need 22 minutes to tell a story so you can chalk this up as CN is lazy and selfish toward its viewers.
>but nothing is inherently bad about posting a 22 minute solo cartoon
neither are 11 minute cartoons
Stop whining faggot and watch some cartoons.
Gravity Falls and Star Wars does this, and as a result they also have less episodes. i.e the more episodes you have the more financial monetary you gain to have. Gotta think technically silly.
>>78471277
Nah. That's not how it works. The Viewership is a separate concern they make their money off the commercials and chances are there are about 2-3 minutes of commercials per 11 minutes.
>>78471237
People stick to what works, especially if money is at stake. I don't think the cartoon scene in the US is going to shake things up real soon.
Apparently it's more difficult/time-consuming to do a 22-minute episode if your show is storyboard-driven rather than script-driven, which is the case for many of the 11-minute shows.
Don't know if that applies to all of them, but that's a specific reason that's been given.
>>78471341
No I'm talking about the marketing aspect of having more episodes. It is more monetary valuable to have more episodes than less.

REMEMBER THE 90'S?

I'm starting to think this is how major billionaire animation studios spout out when their lazy and their boss is a control freak.
Cartoon's don't have any sort of visual marketing. Its based more solely around the ideal of "hey if this show is shit to someone else its profitable elsewhere."
See Adventure Time and SpongeBob 2 shows universally hated by the minority but the majority lap up like worthless mouth breathers.

11 minute stories are hardly new, they just have their own time slot instead of two being crammed into one episode.
>>78471361
Not really. If ratings aren't significantly less for reruns than new episodes, it can be more profitable to stop making more. You can potentially make more on DVD or digital sales, but those sorts of sales are typically negligible and don't factor in as heavily (especially when you can just repackage old episodes into new DVD sets based around themes or characters).
At some point there are diminishing returns where putting more money into a show will not generate more money.

>first pic is from 9gag
>>78471467
Honestly, most cartoons are worthless mouth breathers.
>Looks at SU and GF fans
Kids have shitty attention spans.
>>78471658
*>Kids are shit
FTFY. I doubt kids watch cartoons anymore much less watch TV they're all out getting high or vaping on their 10th birthday.
>>78471650
Korra is a better example.
>>78471697
Korra was actually better than SU and GF.
>>78471752
Your joking right?
I'll let you compromise and says its better than one of those shows and no its not about the one about the magical talking lesbian rocks.
>>78471650
>SU and GF fans
why do these shows attract the most annoying kind of people
>>78471237
When they started the live action stuff around 2007 I think?
>>78471805
Its called bait anon. I'm shocked that anon isn't using Star Vs. also as an example.
>>78471824
Yeah but Snyder only took the job to drain Cartoon Network dry of all its money then move on because his ideal of a dream drop is something ala Dilbert where he just points and fires people for no reason.
>>78471650
Again.
>>78470414
>>78471790
The lesbians in Korra felt more real than SU or GF.
>This argument again
Just noticed the similarity in design between Robot Boy and My Life as a Teenage Robot.
Which is better, /co/?
>>78471855
Hi Alex!
>>78471864
Now that is just drawing straws
Hello Bryke don't you have a shitty epilogue comic you should be working on?
>>78471805
>>78471832
Remeber when cartoons didn't attract awful people?
>>78471916
Why does everyone hate Korra but love GF and SU?
>>78471913
It's weird how GF is almost over and people are hating on it.
>>78471938
You mean absolutely never?
>>78471961
Because Korra is horribly written, Alex is just lazy and doesn't put heart in his show anymore and SU has too much fucking filler.
>>78471961
Because the Last Airbender is better?
>>78471991
>SU has too much fucking filler.
What manga is SU trying to catch up with?
>>78472009
There were no bisexuals though.
>>78472009
>People still rag on Energy Bending
>People still rag on the Island Turtles
>/co/ hates Deus Ex Machinas
Senpai Ozai got the worst hell imaginable. He had to put up with Zuko's bitching about "muh mom" while locked for eternity in a private jail cell. The same jail cell Iroh was locked in.
>>78471984
Maybe it should have been a better show.
>>78472015
How fucking dense are you?
Filler is an episode that has nothing to do with the plot at hand and if the episode strictly relates to a problem a human character is having that is unrelated to the gems its filler and skippable
Shirt Club and any episode relating to Ronaldo are some of the worst episode ever
Steven and the Steven's is the worst episode of all time next to Sadies Song.
>>78472042
Go back to /tumblr/
>>78472094
That isn't filler, those are just episodes you don't like.
>>78472137
How the fuck is that not filler
Are you fucking dense. It took half way for Season 2 to come up with its main plot. Season 1's plot was "Prepare for Peridot"
Season 2's plot was "Help Lapis" but then it got switched to "Help Peridot"
some shows just work better with the 11 minute formula.
>>78472208
Ed Edd and Eddy and Courage were examples of this.
>>78472191
It's not filler because the creator's had always intended them to be there. SU is just as much SoL as it is lore. But you seem blinded by your own opinion.
>>78472635
>Lore
You don't know what that word means
at all.
>>78472656
What does lore mean around here?
>>78472687
The opposite of whatever shit your spewing from your mouth
/trash/
>>78472706
What a witty and well thought out response.
>>78471790
Korra and GF has better pacing than SU and handled emotional moments better.
>>78473490
GF and SU did nothing right. Korra had the best pacing and handled emotions
>>78473574
Nah I think the scene with Mable in Not What He Seems was pretty good
>>78471873
see, it's one thing for a show to be widely hated; that's okay, often just a reaction against those who love it
but shows that go forgotten completely? true sadness
>>78471237
you realize that a lot of the shows in that image you posted have 11 minute episodes, but show about two of them in a single block airing, right?
>>78474352
Shhhhh, if you point out the obvious then he'll just start bitching even more.
But in day there used to be a half hour of two 11 minute shows/episodes.
>>78471237
>2004 death date
>robot boy
>chowder
>adventure time
>Gets mad because shows are only eleven minutes long
>Doesn't realize every single show in that picture was comprised of either two eleven minute shorts or three seven minute ones.
>Doesn't remember the commercial breaks that would literally break the show into segments
Dude, you're just an idiot.
>>78471984
Maybe don't shit out a rushed finale when you could've easily gone another season?
Personal preference or not, the show's going to end on a sour note for a lot of people now.
it is vastly more profitable
>>78474529
I hate the dumb circular logic fans use to defend that shit
>it's good he chose to end it when he did, that way it can go out when it's still on top :^)
>oh, you think it should've gone on for another season like originally planned and that rushing through season 2 made it worse overall? well, you should be grateful he's ending it when it got worse, then :^)
not that I think it should've gone on forever, but it's clear people will praise the ending no matter what.
>>78474648
We should campaign to keep the show going, just to piss Hirsch off.
>>78471984
Series 2b has been really bad and wasted a lot of time
There I fixed it.
>>78471237
Eh. I still think that the standard should be 45 minute stories that can be split up into two parts as necessary.
Or fuck it; just do an entire season as one continuous episode and put breaks when needed. Can't be difficult to edit together a recap for airing.
>>78475316
Also, who the fuck is the sheep? I feel like I know him but I can't think of the name.
>>78475341
Sheep in the Big City
