>>110881372Honestly, I was just thinking about how I miss a couple of decades ago when kids cartoons weren't afraid of having grown-ass adults as protagonists. The Tick, Johnny Bravo, He-Man, She-Ra, Lion-O, The Mask, Ghostbusters, Freakazoid, Gargoyles.
I'm not saying these were god-tier cartoons or anything like that. I'm just getting mildly annoyed how in stuff like this and the She-Ra reboot, they feel the need to de-age the characters as if it's going to make the audience relate more because Carmen is 20 years old instead of 28 or something. I also think back to stuff like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs how they just said fuck it and made them in high school. Or the Hotel Transylvania cartoon where it focuses on everyone's kid instead of Drac and his friends.
It's a nitpick at best, but eh. I wish execs would stop acting like a 10-year old is somehow going to find an 16-year old more relatable than a 28-year old. They're both out of the kids age range, why act like they aren't.
