On another note, Disney has much to do with why cartoons are still regarded children's vehicles here in the states. The irony is that Japanese animators learned the craft from Disney's early efforts, but years later America still hasn't grasped what the Japanese have known for a long time which is cartoons are just as viable a medium for telling adult stories as any other. In fact, due ballooning live action production budgets, the might just be more viable for certain adult themes.

I agree, but my big issue is with adults that BLAME a studio for making content for kids. I know people who were PISSED and boycotting Batman Brave and the Bold, Spectacular Spider-Man, Transformers Robots in Disguise, and Teen Titans Go because they were too kiddy.

In my personal belief, anything on a channel that is aimed at kids should focus on kids. If adults like it, all the better. For instance, My Little Ponies. They didn't change things because there are now a few hundred adult Bronies on forums.

I love DC's universe for one thing... the "adult" stories are separated and they make adults pay for them. kids stuff is on tv stations and streaming. I wish Marvel and Hasbro did the same thing. If I WANT a depressed, moody, angsty Spider-Man, I can by a DVD or streaming code. If I want a kids show, I turn on Disney+ or Disney XD. I really wish Hasbro would make a Transformers disc series so that I can finally be rid of the adults who whine about how Hasbro has destroyed their childhood by making kids cartoons. This way, they can have an animated "Wreckers" story and other IDW stuff and I can enjoy content with my younger family members.
