@claireclaymore You are also talking about Original Properties with a lot more freedoms than a 40 year old franchise series buried in international red tape. Though i don’t know if you even remember the crap Korra went through while it was being made (first being told it was only going to be one season, because Korra is a girl and they thought the show was going to suck, then told after the first three episodes aired that it got picked up for three more seasons, then got kicked off the air in the final season to end up online only). And Voltron basically did everything Avatar and Korra did, again, but in space.
Adventure Time did soften a lot of what was going on. They also had TIME to do things and being an original property on one of the most liberal networks at the time, they were allowed to do what ever they wanted as long as they kept it Y7. They had almost 200 episodes and had breathing room to have quieter episodes that focus on developing characters and not furthering the plot.
Steven Universe has the same benefits as Adventure Time did, however you may not be aware that it had many of its international rights stripped away because of the LGBTQ content it contained, which in turn did let them do more because they no longer had to appease strict censorship laws that half of the world demanded.
WHICH brings me back to Voltron and its international rights, IT HAD A STANDARD it needed to maintain and a lot of heads telling them what could and could not be in it. Voltron is a cash-grab, well established, boy’s action show mega property. The show is designed and made to be shown in as many countries and to be shown to as many boys as possible. And for them to be able to not just end up making another Voltron Force, Ben-10 clone, is remarkable in on itself (because Dreamworks does have crap cash-grab shows too that are being made for the same demographic as well: like Stretch Armstrong and the Inspector Gadget remake). It showed that Dreamworks cared enough about the property to pick Stuido MIR to do it in the first place.
They had improved a hell of a lot compared to watching Defenders of the Universe and Voltron Force. And while it isn’t to the standards as say Avatar, which is a key-stone series and can never be duplicated, not even by its own studio/writers (because even TDP isn’t able to do it either) says a great deal about how important a benchmark it was and still is for a Y7 show to reach. I would still place VLD on the same level as something like Disney’s Gargoyles and Legend of Korra when it comes to the demographic. Which is to say I still think it is high quality, but you can’t compare it to Avatar, because even Steven Universe and Adventure Time haven’t came close either.
Basically i would still put VLD in my top 20 cartoon’s made in the past 40 years, but it will still be overshadowed by things like Avatar and Batman: The Animated Series when it comes to writing. And while i do love Adventure Time and Steven Universe: Adventure Time played it safe for most of its run, they made a fun show with interesting characters and had lots of room to breathe and explore concepts, but it was still safe and anything “troublesome” is easily edited for content. Steven Universe has major pacing issues, and it will be remembered more as being one of the first westernized cartoons to promote a feminist and lgbtq message to children (anime did it first and did it better).
