Yes, in fact when I grew up as a kid in the 90s. My mother worked at a convalescent home in Burbank.

One of these elderly men claimed to work with Ub Iwerks and Max Fleschier and had a huge collection of reels of cartoons and happened to have VHS tapes of flip the frog, Willie whopper and a lot of Popeye and superman reels.

The elderly mans used to talk about his days animating and working with various artists including meeting chuck jones and Walt Disney at one point in his life.

He had a real passion for his job.

To this day I absolutely love Classic vintage cartoons. I also plan to begin a collection of cartoon memorabilia once I finish nursing school.

So yes, anyone who says Vintage cartoons from the Fleischer, Disney and MGM era is full of shit and deserves a quick kick in the nuts.

I watch a shitload of MST3K and read wiki as a hobby, LT has tons of dated references but they're not a problem for me to understand personally and even the ones you don't "get" are often still funny for whatever reason, plus the timeless visual gags and verbal jokes far outweigh the pot shots at pop culture

That single scene had more life, imagination, energy and quality than anything released in the 2000s+.

REAL animation has become a lost art in the age of adobe flash tweening and copypaste animu.
>>
>>84050198
But even anime aimed at adults isn't generally seen as an "adult" thing in Japan, it's for weird nerds like the ones on this board, they can just make a lot more of it because it's cookie cutter, made on slave wages, and is a major export.
There are plenty of cartoons aimed at adults, but the style is different because the culture and what's profitable in the market is different.
>>
>>84049451
I love how Popeye was a cartoon starring ugly adults. It has a charm that other shows back then didn't have. Everyone was always young or a furry. Then you have Popeye, some grumpy old sailor beating up a big fat guy with a beard over a woman who looks like a 40 year old housewife.
>>
>>84050261
He's obviously trolling you.

But anime is treated differently in Japan. Almost everyone reads manga, and anime is pretty common to see on TV. It's a much larger market than comics/cartoons in the US or other places in the West, and there are age-specific genres.

The 2000's were a huge time for weeaboos. seemed every other tween had either invader zim merch or some kind of anime merch. Then there's the fact that a lot of toons were emulating earlier Japanese styles in their designs, and some action cartoons that took a lot of inspiration from anime.

Dude's still a faggot for filling that square p with weeb shit though.

Nostalgia, sort of.
Unintented humor due to poor quality/etc.
Trying to look "cultured".

Can't think of any others.
Second one is the biggest one, though. He-Man is a show that thought it was fucking awesome, but looking back on it it's hilarious, even though it didn't intend to be. That's ironic enjoyment.
>>
>>84050261
Something like Jin-Roh, Joker Game or Haibane Renmei is worlds apart from Looney Tunes, and it doesn't matter if some random normie thinks it's childish. Children aren't even a consideration for late night anime, and the creators don't have the same approach to animation as cartoon animators.

And late night anime isn't as niche as you think. Girls und Panzer for example has been really popular.

>cookie cutter
How? There's anime of all kinds in many different genres about many different topics for for many different audiences with varying levels of production quality.

>made on slave wages
On the other hand American productions use massively more time and money, outsource all the production work to Korea, and still produce vastly inferior quality.

>major export
American animation is exported a lot too.

>There are plenty of cartoons aimed at adults
There are shows like Family Guy, yes. But those are sitcoms, i.e. you aren't supposed to take them seriously (and even then there aren't that many of them). Animation that is aimed at adults and intended to be taken seriously is taboo in America.

Oh, and speaking of KOTH it's a good example. Later on the show had really great character development, humor and values, but early on the only real thing it had going for it was the irony of cliche redneck life. The first season or so existed for irony. It was funny because "lolrednecks", not because the characters were good.

>“The best of the black and white Popeyes are full of digressions, and are as much about the funky world that Popeye lives in as they are about Popeye. In those cartoons, Popeye was alternately violent and sentimental and so was the world he lived in. The wonderful, built in contradictions made it difficult to make slick and logical stories, so the Fleischer studio didn’t even try. They aimed for a logic of the heart rather than a logic of the mind.” – Eddie Fitzgerald

Maybe cartoons really haven't changed that much, since they definitely are all about muh feelings now too.

That's pretty accurate for the 2000s in terms of what was popular in animation. Why it's in the other boxes is another issue, though.

If you're enjoying it, then you're entertained it.
If you're not, you don't like it.

I don't see what's ironic about either.

I guess if I was to try and phrase it differently, irony is when you're laughing at the show, and not with it.

You can watch something because it's good.
You can not watch something because it's bad.
And you can watch something because it's bad, but in a way that makes it fun to watch, either because it's bad enough to laugh at, or because you have fond memories of it, etc.

You might not have anything you enjoy ironically, but it's very much a concept.

Trigger makes head lines (LWA The Series anyone?) and Madoka was the modern day version of Ren & Stimpy.

Aikatsu was a hit when TMS was doing it but when they stop doing Aikatsu people stopped caring.

Both Eva and Madoka lured viewers in with promises of tried-and-true beloved anime tropes, (in one case mecha and the other magical girl,) only to devastate the cast and viewers with misery at how terrifying it can be to pilot a mech or become a magical girl.
It's called a deconstruction.

Ren & Stimpy was different. It was a deconstruction of children's saturday morning cartoons and product placement/consumerism.

The only similarities are the act of deconstructing, and if that's all you're hinging on then R&S is a pretty random choice, because it's been done before and after it.

It's really redundant to say the Japanese are inspired by something Western. Of course they are. Japan isn't cut off from the rest of the world, and Western culture dominates the world. Japan itself already Westernized in the early 20th century and became part of that culture.

A strong guy punching people is hardly an idea unique to Popeye.

>>84051334
a lot of those 90s cartoons were produced by WB and Disney who heavily outsourced, they had the money AND had the Koreans to make the cartoons
Cartoon Network is owned by Time Warner, and the do outsource, but they don't have as big budgets as WB did back in the day
the pic also skips over an entire decade (the 00s) anything by Titmouse, other heavily outsourced animations like Thundercats, DC cartoons, and Avatar, and anything CGI (which is were larger budgets of animation go towards now)

I wonder how Popeye would be different today. King Features apparently dicks around anyone who wants the Popeye rights, and they've quite clearly done nothing but punish themselves. Popeye is almost forgotten today—ironically, I think it's the fried chicken franchise that keeps his name recognition alive, even though it's technically not supposed to be the same Popeye.

if your theme was to show cartoons over the decades you failed when you started showing anime
if your theme was to show influential cartoons/anime you failed
if your theme was to show cartoons/anime that was even popular, you failed
if your theme was to show your favorite shows, you got shit taste

This is the standard argument. When people can't argue that anime is for children, they switch gears and argue it's for teenagers and manchildren, both of which are just bogeymen.

These are memes. You think anime is some competition and "best girl" has to win, and if she doesn't then clearly "shit taste" is to blame. You don't understand anime or particularly care about it, you're just in it for the shitposting and autismal arguments with other bandwagoners.

Yes, especially the Popeye the Sailor meets Sindbad the Sailor. It's my favorite short of all-time.

People like to credit Superman as the first superhero but he's not, the first superhero is some god or demigod from mythology. However, as far as modern superheroes go, Popeye predates Supes and still fights for right with metahuman abilities.
>>
>>84057687
>fictional characters
>objective skill
Fictional characters don't have objective skills. They have the skills the writers give them.

Even if you take two real humans where one has more "objective skill" than the other (say in one-on-one basketball) the one with the lesser skill can still win by chance, or because the other guy was feeling out of it that day, or because of a hundred different reasons.

"Who would win" is retarded. "Powers and abilities" is retarded. You're retarded.
