The success of this show directly contributes to the death of Western animation. I don't get why people gleefully support media that promotes everything they object to when they can always catch up on older stuff.
That's a very good point. There is a treasure trove of masterfully written movies and shows from the past so expansive, you can spend the rest of your life enjoying masterfully written content every day. Stories so well done, they'll change your perspective on life for the better and strengthen you. Last year, I asked my parents and grandparents for recommendations of old movies that were well written. I only knew about the most popular like Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Lawrence of Arabia, Breakfast at Tiffany's, etc.
"Seven Samurai", "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and "The Maltese Falcon" were fantastic. They peel back a corner of life, writing a fair representation of inconvenient truths about humanity that rarely, if ever, gets represented in today's whiny media.
"His Girl Friday" was fantastic fun and shows you that even in 1938, major news companies were spinning lies just to sell clickbait stories and getting on the good side of politicians for money.
Even thinking about these movies makes The Amazing Digital Circus feel like even worse garbage slop that a crazy weirdo on the street wrote, who thinks about life as deeply as someone who masturbates all day to inflation porn and dreams about strangling women at night.
Oh I forgot, we aren't allowed to watch any media before 2020 because it's all inherently racist, misogynistic, and fascist. To be good respectable people, we need to only consume modern day slop.
I mean the target audience seem to enjoy it
I've seen them repeat "MEDIA LITERACY" ad nauseam. That's all they do is blindly and mindlessly repeat each other. No explanation for why they're using the term 'media literacy', what it means to them, or giving examples for why the ending is so great and how it ties into the fundamentals of a good story. They just want to call you illiterate for thinking the badly written story filled with lazily dropped plot points and thinly veiled fetishes, that the author proudly boasts about on his public social media, wasn't that great.
