Just one of the many things I continue to question about the Cartoon Network of today.
Yeah thats what Chibi Starscream was eferring to and I as well. But I think with so many shows doing this, it comes out to the same, you just pair up 2 10 minute shows.

To be fair, that's what the previous generation said about us

You misunderstood me, I meant they could be pairing two different tv shows both which have 10 mins episodes. Honestly I dont really know how its done, I dont watch actual TV anymore. Everything my kid watches is on youtube (DC Superhero girls), netlflix (The Last Jedi *shudder*) or daily motion (Gumball).
Also, just to be clear, she only watches the Last Jedi because that is the ONLY Star Wars film on netflix and it has all the characte she likes. She cant tell the story blows yet, she just sees Luke saying hi to 3PO, or Captain Phasma walking about, and she's happy.

And just how long were Looney Tunes Cartoons?
Spoiler: I would rather watch LT over any of the new stuff on Caetoon Network any day.

Don't you ever. Current Year Star Wars make the prequels look like masterpieces in comparison.
yeah its that 8 to 10 age we knew the difference then I'm sure kids today know the difference between uncool crap and the real thing-Kanrabat- wrote:I'm a Geewun kid. Optimus Prime blew my mind away as a child. We were so poor, it was a miracle I even owned one. Optimus was simple to transform, but the robot rocked and that truck mode was perfect. I once handle cheapo "tried-to-be" transformers and even that 9yo could tell that they were garbage. Nothing like the awesome GoBots or that stellar Optimus.
Cyberverse may impress kids that are in the Rescue Bots ages. But anything older than that and the kid may have a hard time holding back the cringe.

Yeah, kinda seems that way. Way better articulation and a gimmick that doesn’t get in the way of much else. I will say that the scout class Bumblebee looks kinda alright though, it at least got the door wings right.
(And to throw my hat in the Star Wars ring, TLJ wasn’t that great but the other new movies -at least IMO- are really good. TFA is actually my favorite Star Wars movie!)
