      People freaked out over the New Thundercats. When fandoms start getting angry about aesthetics / "childish" tones... I get worried...http://observer.com/2018/05/cartoon-networks-new-thundercats-and-what-people-get-wrong-about-kids-vs-adult-entertainment/ …

      The only place I might disagree with this piece is that it feels a little dismissive of “texture” as an important part of the story telling. It’s tough to invest in a story or a message if the aesthetic doesn’t appeal to you. Now, that’s a far cry from “ermahgerd that’s kid crap/

      But trying to get into shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe simply didn’t work for me because the aesthetic wasn’t appealing. Not because it’s “for kids”. Same applies to “adult” animation. Could never get into Rick and Morty either, largely b/c of the aesthetic

      But our interest in aesthetics / texture are largely just abstract, nonsensical limits we place on ourselves so that we can "fall into" a movie and they have nothing to do with text-based storytelling. I actually talked about it last weekhttp://observer.com/2018/05/the-two-crucial-filmmaking-elements-causing-all-your-movie-feuds/ …

      The point is, it may be time to push your boundaries on the naturalistic-to-you aesthetics you like because it's keeping you from engaging art as it's really mean to be consumed.

          I agree that I think people get hung up on aesthetics too much, too often. But at some point don’t we have to recognize these are visual mediums? If you argue that the text is more important, then why bother with visual at all? Why not just write books?

          I’m not trying to say “ignore this thing because it doesn’t conform to your aesthetic preference”. I attempted to watch adeventure Time, Stephen universe, r&m etc, but the visuals weren’t just unappealing to me. They were distracting.

          Yes that's very nice and eloquent of you but it's pretty obvious to anyone with some common sense and a working pair of eyeballs that this art style (in all its incarnations) is just a cost cutting measure. It's worn out it's charm and people are tired of it.
