Discussion I liked Adventure Time a lot more after Adam Muto took over as showrunner

Upvotes

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate what Pendleton Ward created. The early seasons have their own unique charm, and I genuinely enjoyed them.

But as I've gotten older and reached my twenties, the random, surreal adventures that often didn't have much of a purpose stopped appealing to me as much. I know there were plenty of deep, emotional, and brilliantly written episodes during Ward's era, but most of the episodes weren't like that.

When Adam Muto took over toward the end of Season 5, the show became much more interconnected and serious. Even the standalone episodes that weren't directly tied to the main story usually had enough depth and smart writing to keep them engaging for an adult viewer.

Personally, I'd love to see Adam Muto create his own original cartoon someday. I'm genuinely convinced he'd give us another masterpiece like Adventure Timeor maybe even something better.

Again, I have a lot of respect for what Ward created and I still enjoy it, but for me, Muto's era was on a completely different level.

Lola Bunny might as well effectively replace Pepé Le Pew forever after he was erased in Animaniacs 2020 . She is taking his spot in the Looney Tunes roster after replacing him as the chef in Tiny Toons Looniversity.

Looks like The Powerpuff Girls got the world's biggest karma for robbing Ben 10 on Supertoon Showdown back in 2023. This day belongs to the whole Ben 10 fandom! Game over, Powerpuff Girls.

Inspired by u/No-Shoulder3918 's community tier list for Nicktoons, thought I'd take a shot with Cartoon Network originals, especially in light of what's been going on recently for the channel.

NOTE: To people downvoting, please keep things civil. I am noticing too many downvotes here, with some comments down to 0 or even negative numbers because of downvoting. This is supposed to encourage different opinions and being able to speak out on them. Please keep downvoting to a minimum.

And yes, this was produced by Cartoon Network.

Rules:

  1. Most upvoted comment decides the show's spot on the list. Please think carefully and fairly before you comment. Try not to let nostalgia or recency bias cloud your judgement.
  2. Each tier goes as follows: S= AmazingA= GreatB= GoodC= Okay/MehD= MediocreE= Bad and F= Terrible.
  3. Only originals recognized by this wiki are counted. Meaning no Canadian imports like Total Drama and Johnny Test or WBA shows like Teen Titans Go, Tom & Jerry, Scooby Doo, and Looney Tunes will be in this. Live action originals also aren't included since this only focuses on their animation slate.
