[teen titans/cartoons] Are you fucking kidding me

@bluecaeri_

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:43 PM

THATS THE REASON.

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:44 PM

"Cartoon Network loved Teen Titans" -- that sounds like revisionist history

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:45 PM

I didn't watch half of season 5 until years later because I couldn't figure out when new episodes ran

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:45 PM

Oh you didn't know that?

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:45 PM

it was absolutely BURIED at the time - no press at all, kind of like the way the end of Korra was recently run on Nick

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:46 PM

That's pretty much the reason most cartoons get canceled honestly...

@bluecaeri_

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:46 PM

I HAD NO IDEA TBH JUST ONE DAY IT WAS GONE AND I WAS ????

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:47 PM

They have no knowledge of how to- and no desire to- market cartoons outside of their target demographics

@Dalrint

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:48 PM

I am a huge DC fan, but I can't help but want them to go out of business so someone else buys their ip...

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:49 PM

DC is owned by Time Warner though.

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:49 PM

Warner's not going out of business anytime soon

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:49 PM

like.. you can talk about DC and CN like they're different entities, but they share a parent company

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:50 PM

And this, my friends, is why CN makes stupid decisions

@bluecaeri_

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:51 PM

sigh

@Dalrint

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:52 PM

Parent companies influence decisions in general but rarely make specific ones unless they're overriding someone.

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:52 PM

at least Steven Universe is going strong?

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:52 PM

Like, that's a show that blurs gender/demographic lines quite a bit

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:52 PM

Still sucks that they keep canceling their action blocks for backwards reasons, though

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:53 PM

That the companies are so scared of shared demographics is just dumb

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:53 PM

Oh I'm honestly waiting for CN to fuck over SU

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:53 PM

I'm amazed they haven't, tbh

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:54 PM

Maybe because it's so hyped atm?

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:54 PM

They're treating it a lot better than Disney treats Gravity Falls, anyway

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:57 PM

But I can already see them trying to systematically strangle it, even now.

@Dalrint

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:57 PM

They just dedicated a week and a massive advertizing blitz to it...

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 4:58 PM

They can't outright cancel it because it's too popular. So instead they just have to kill the popularity

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:02 PM

wait what's wrong with how Disney treats Gravity Falls? It's promoed all over the place

@bluecaeri_

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:04 PM

@Dalrint

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:04 PM

ANd CN just paired SU up with Adventure time, arguing it's most popular show. You don't do that if you're trying to cancel something.

....................and gthe new rid cartoon is on CN too

@helbindi

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:10 PM

usually when they're trying to kill a show, constant hiatuses and withholding new episodes is the way to go, which is probably why TT was so hard to watch in its later seasons.

Sʜᴇɴᴀɴᴀᴋɪɴs ❧

@helbindi

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:10 PM

nickelodeon is actually the worst of the big 3 cartoon channels for that, though

TheApostate ™

@Spectreselva

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:12 PM

Which is why LOK was online only for the last season.....till they started airing them again

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:14 PM

Nickelodeon just plain doesn't know how to market anymore

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:16 PM

Like with Korra I really don't think they understood who their demographic was.

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:17 PM

Because if they did they wouldn't have given it such shitty time slots

Sʜᴇɴᴀɴᴀᴋɪɴs ❧

@helbindi

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:21 PM

it's been a loooong time since they have, they've been pulling this since the 90s. here's a list.

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:26 PM

They're honestly too used to riding on the coattails of SpongeBob now

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:44 PM

Oh, it is? re: Gravity Falls

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:45 PM

I don't have cable, but I've just noticed that it goes on long, sporadic hiatuses a lot

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:52 PM

That's just kind of a Disney thing.

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:54 PM

yeah that do it for all their series. They like to have new material to air in the summer

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:54 PM

so they'll bunch up new things and focus on one show at a time

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:54 PM

that way, new episodes are ALWAYS happening and it's ALWAYS an event

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:55 PM

Their shows go on for ages but they're really bad about consistently airing them.

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:56 PM

Well, "ages" are usually limited to 4 years unless your name is Phinneas and Ferb

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:57 PM

didn't Kim Possible prove to be an exception as well?

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:57 PM

Oh IDK KP happened during that window where I was trying to be a grownup who was too old for Disney

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:58 PM

Hey 4 years is a long time for a kids show

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:59 PM

yeah, a lot of shows get canned prematurely

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:59 PM

/sobs at Cybersix

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 5:59 PM

.../and Sonic SatAM

@sincerest

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 6:00 PM

It really is. And it's a good barometer for a "cute kids are no longer cute" cutoff

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 6:00 PM

For what it's worth, Disney is pretty about actually ending their shows

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 6:00 PM

YEAH, which is a lot better than freakin' cliffhanger endings

@mamoritai

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 6:00 PM

*pretty good

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 6:00 PM

~~but I'm salty about Gargoyles because its third season was so bad~~

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 6:00 PM

the comics fixed that... and then got canceled.

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 6:01 PM

I think ATLA/Korra is one of the few cases of a Nick show having a proper ending

@Dalrint

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 6:02 PM

Gargoyle's comic getting cancelled was disney's fault. They charged so much for the license that it was impossible to sell

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 6:03 PM

I hope someday that they'll realize how dumb that was and lower the license cost

@Dorked

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 6:03 PM

'cause i"d love to see the comics properly concluded

@machaera

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 7:20 PM

I'M SALTY
