There are gems here and there. Steven Universe, Regular Show, and Adventure time were all pretty great. Justice League Action, Beware the Batman, Green Lantern The Animated Series, Young Justice, everything from DC has been great. I’ve only watched the first season of The Loud House but it was good too. The CG Nickelodeon Ninja Turtles was the best take on the franchise in a long time. Same with the modern DuckTales.
I wasn't impressed with SU or Adventure time. I got a couple laughs out of regular show, but I can't say that it was a show that I really liked.
Haven't gotten around to watching the new ducktales, if I get some freetime from work I'll have to check it out.

Like. Steven Universe and Adventure Time have some of the best character examination in modern western animation. If that doesn’t do it for you I don’t know what will.

It’s for my Justice League show. It’s semi-based off of Dial H for Hero. She’s a trans woman working multiple jobs to pay for Graduate school. She’s kindhearted and energetic, but a bit cynical thanks to the way the world works. It kind of manifests as an “I don’t have time for this ****” mentality. But when she was younger she was very innocent and optimistic and as the series goes on she rediscovers that side of her a bit. She finds the H-Dial the day of the big catastrophe that brings them all together (still not sure what that is yet) while hiding in an old vandalized phone booth, and joins in the fight at the moment the newly formed League as they’re about to loose, turning the tide of battle. She’s got a bit of imposter syndrome being around these long-standing and well recognized heroes both due to her new-ness, her minority status, and the fact that she doesn’t have one concrete hero persona (the Dial always gives you something random). She ends up moving into the watchtower with Cyborg and Starfire (they’re on the league in my version, shush) and Batman ends up paying for her college. So she also has a bit of an aimless “what do I do know” complex.
Ok, so probably a name that’s relatively modern. Did she change her birth name or did she keep it provided it sounded gender neutral enough? Do you want a more feminine name or a more gender neutral one?

SU is repeatedly picked on for it's animation and inconsistency. I dunno what you're talking about. Only recently have they stepped up the game.

So, apparently when Joel played that game I voice in, he made fan art of him and the character I voice for the in-game fan art gallery.

How much of either show did you watch? Because if it was only one episode or even one season (depending on which one) I could understand that mindset.
I watched several episodes of AT when it was airing, and around half of the first season of SU. No idea if it got better afterwards but Steven has to be one of the most obnoxious MCs that I've seen in animation.

I want a feminine sounding name. She changed her name (first AND last) because her parents excommunicated her. She was born in the year 2000. Ideally, her birth name’s meaning would be tangentially connected to her current one.

Su gets better after the first season, although I was a bit disappointed with the end of the series.

I actually agree with you. It’s not till the halfway point of season one that he becomes better. If you know the basic premise of the show, then just pretend the first episodes is The Mirror.

Is there anything you think either of her names should mean? Birth or current?

It's still not over. It's on its final season.

But so was Adventure Time and Gumball but look at what happened.
The original story is over, the rest is an epilogue. I was mostly disappointed with how rushed
white diamond's
character arc was after so much build up.

So y’all might be wondering why do I put shantae and geno in almost all of my dlc predictions?
It’s because I see them as the liklest front runners for spirit upgrades and I can tell why
For geno. geno is the final never ever alongside:ultridley::ultkrool:&:ultbanjokazooie:. Sakurai has wanted to put him in so not only he will grant our wish but it will also grant sakurais. And if there were another square character it would be him. It’s called ultimate for a reason
And for shantae.

Well that's mostly a case of the amount of time they have in each episode and how fast the story progressed.

yeah that’s the problem there.

The narrative of SU is that Steven starts naive to the world around him, but as more **** goes down, he realizes life isn’t quite what he thought it was and begins to develop as a leader and person of inspiration to those around him. It’s absolutely worth watching. The first season they didn’t know their footing yet,

the season finale is actually really good. It’s even resulted in one of the most iconic moments:

The show improves greatly and really tackles some big real life issues beautifully as well as providing fun and gut wrenching musical numbers

Well her character arc as well as the others are clearly far from over.

since they couldn’t do what they wanted the first time they are seemingly doing it in future. It should be good

Honestly I was content with the heckin' E3-era roster of every single veteran + Daisy, Inkling, and Ridley. Everything since has and continues to screen KO my expectations and I love it.

Yeah.

Along with Isaac.

And along with Waluigi.

And along with which character this fanbase will latch onto next.
Honestly I strongly disagree here. I think people really overplay those two.

maybe issac but for the most part waluigi is a mix of memes and actual people who want him. I never see them compared to the big 4 though outside of this site. A lot of people exaggerate those two popularity.

issac has since like brawl and you didn’t really hear much about him until certain times.

waluigi was way more talked about and has been around since brawl.

k Rool and Ridley had popularity that started up with melee onward, Banjo has had popularity since his first appearance back in the day to be wanted for smash. Geno picked up around brawl but the vocal demand for him was always higher imo then issac and waluigi

I like SU but eh. I do feel the fanbase is a bit more rabid and elitist than some others from CN.

Star Vs the Forces of Evil was the closest from the current cartoon's fandoms to how bad SU was, and that's mostly because of the ships.

Most fandoms of popular things are bad. Undertale for example is a fantastic game that I'd recommend to anyone. Another recommendation of mine would be to stay far away from communities dedicated to it, because they tend to be just awful. And that's not an Undertale problem, that's a popular media problem, which is my point. There's also the Smash community, and uhh... well, Smashboards is certainly one of the better spots. GameFAQs a better idea of what I mean.
In any case, one shouldn't judge a work by its fans.

Honestly, Geno should probably be right there alongside Waluigi and Issac. The only reason the latter two aren't getting as much support is because they're already ATs. If Geno's Mii Costume returned alongside a Mallow costume, I could see his supporters dispersing as well.

But between the three, I think Waluigi has the largest number of supporters.

This is pretty fair and I say that as a geno fan. The fanbase for him will die down depending on reveals and it died down until we learned of everyone was here and Ridley got in. Then people thought he might be in again and started rallying.

Out of those 3 waluigi definitely had the biggest.

with Ridley banjo and K room, their support never once died down even when Ridley was a boss. Which is why I would say they were the true never evers

Sometimes I wonder how speculation for Ultimate would've turned out if Waluigi's assist trophy was shown at the end instead. Waluigi being one of the first assist trophies shown ripped the band aid off early, but it also killed the discussion for him prematurely.

At least it meant Waluigi couldn't be on the Grinch leak, saving your side of the fandom a massive headache.

It ended early?

I remember there were still people in August who thought that Sakurai was trolling.

Hell, Waluigi was the 2nd most attributed character to "Chair theory" after Skull Kid.
