“Awesome” & “amazing”. A certain generation has been using these words so often, they’ve lost all meaning. What is amazing anymore, when it’s perpetually tagged onto subpar content regularly

Setting aside how much I disagree with that, what is "more iconic that Flinstones" your reasoning for it being bigger than the Simpsons?

Lol, you should have just compared Flinstones to SpongeBob if that's your argument

It's also a poor argument because Flinstones are head and shoulders more ironic than SpongeBob, no question.

You know people lost there shit when Fred Flinstone and Wilma started sharing a bed, right? That's how big the show was, hundreds of people complained to the TV company over how scandalous the show had become.

Flinstones walked so most every other cartoon could run. Show some respect

I guess it's always been a "monster of the week" type show with a vague arc that becomes important at the end of the season. I think the fact that this season has been "plot/arc focused" is part of the issue, because it feels like things are sometimes rushed, other times taking too long, but without the mission of the week that provided some variety and distraction.

I feel like it's a bit oddly paced because you start the season with Din going on a mission to the waters, but thats resolved within the next episode, then you have the idea of Moff Gideon still being around teased, then you do an arc of Bo Katan joining the clan but now that's being cleared to make way for a new arc. I don't know its just felt really off and feels like it's got a less clear direction this season, which is maybe just because they've branched out into a wider storyline and no longer just focussed on Grogu and Din.

Hamill had two readings that felt like perfect culminating moments for the Joker. Joker saying "That's...not...funny..." as well as Joker grumbling "Don't you DARE laugh at me." to Terry.

I watched the first three or four episodes and just have very little desire to finish watching. I received no real idea where the series was going, what the overarching plot was, or why I should care. Grogu has no real role anymore, and his presence is becoming sort of weird. And was the Krait Dragon episode really popular enough that we need a constant barrage of monster attacks now?

The show is still beautiful, acting is good. It just sort of lost its way at some point. And yes, as others point out, coming out after Andor is a hard act to follow.

They should just continue the a anime where it left off or make a game.

I didn’t like how in Justice League they tied it in as Terry being Bruce’s son. It is cheap writing that a lot of shows and movies did during that time

If you strip away the Star Wars paint....This show would be considered terrible. Dialogue is mostly just exposition, there's barely anything resembling character to any of the characters.

Everything is shot in a compact environment, surrounded by digital screens, there's no depth to any of the environments. Then there's these weird moments, that feel like it's an amateur, fan film production, like in the most recent episode when the pirates are overtaking the town and one of the pirates is roughing up a citizen...I swear he pushes him over in the most gentlest way possible.

It's just a bit laughable....How do we display these new pirate characters reprehensible behavior without them harming any civilians??? Oh, I got it...They wanna drink in a school.

I agree that The Simpsons is more iconic but I really feel like you are downplaying how popular Spongebob is. So many people are able to quote it easily and people are able to easily recognize him. Spongebob is way more iconic than The Flintstones nowadays imo.

Also Spongebob was also popular with adults.
