-Animaniacs is an insincere imitation of what Golden Age cartoons did leagues better decades ago. Same thing goes for Tiny Toons, which I find the very concept of to be an insult; if these critters have to go to school to be cartoons, then what does that make them now? And the systematic reduction of the abstract art of cartoon slapstick to a set of tired cliches to be concretely taught and demonstrated by these authority figures makes the fact that these shows were written by a committee of writers who weren’t good enough to write for live-action sitcoms all the more glaring. However, I’ll say that out of the stuff Spielberg tried to pass off as cartoons in the 90s, Pinky & the Brain was the least bad, if only because the title characters had an actual chemistry going on.
-Rob Paulsen as a voice actor is more often annoying and grating than he is funny.
-Bruce Timm as a cartoonist/designer is just barely above Scooby Doo-level and he should just stick to painting.
-Teen Titans Go! is a better, funnier cartoon than the original show. Admittedly, due to the show’s inability to ignore its critics, that isn’t saying much now.
-Ron Perlman was better as Hellboy and Hannibal Chau than he ever was as Slade. Putting aside the fact that the former two characters are leagues more entertaining, Perlman wasn’t given much room to add anything special to a role that ultimately any halfway-decent actor could’ve pulled off and achieved the same effect. The big issue is that the character of Slade in the old Teen Titans show can effectively be summed up as a shallow, motiveless boogeyman who has no reason to be interacting with these particular heroes outside of being a mandatory supervillain presence and being generally 2sp00ky4U for the sake of itself, and it doesn’t help that he gets no development or payoff beyond this characterization. I’m sure Perlman did his best with what he had to work with, but from where I stand, he’s done more impactful and memorable roles elsewhere.
-I never got the appeal of generic bishie-type voices like Josh Keaton, Yuri Lowenthal, Will Friedle, Johnny Yong Bosch, etc. They all sound the same to me and they’re hardly even that entertaining. At least Andrew Francis is legitimately distinct-sounding.
-Kath Soucie is one of the most overrated VAs around. My big issue with her is that she never once made me laugh or even made me go ‘Hey, I like this character’, not helped at all by the fact that her two most popular roles here by vote are characters I hold an active distaste for. Plus, all those mom characters everyone seems to know her for hardly even stand out from each other and could’ve been voiced by any decent voice-actress and had the same effect. I just generally find her to be a dull presence in whatever she pops up in.
-Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is the best animated adaptation Sonic has ever had, while SatAM is worse than Underground (which is just laughably bad).
-Power Rangers, the Digimon dubs and anything else made by Saban are affronts to their source material and don’t deserve the unironic fanbases they have, especially since Haim Saban’s productions are funded by Zionist blood money, which makes such followings morally reprehensible on top of misguided.
-Team Four Star’s Dragon Ball adaptation is the best dub DBZ has had yet.
-Young Justice is unlikable bland-looking tripe and is among my most hated animated shows.
-I don’t support the #PerformanceMatters movement and I’m glad the strike’s petered/petering out. Union Californian voice actors are a spoiled and overexposed lot regardless of what talent they might have, and video games can function and sell just fine without them, as they have for years.
