I understand why people are annoyed with how they're airing #DuckTales, but unless it's Steven Universe, this is just what cartoon scheduling has looked like for years. And kids generally don't care or notice.
Comparing Disney XD to ABC or CBS is silly.
@InspectorCaracal Yeah, exactly!
I know a kid who watches the, like, middle 30 seconds of one specific video over and over, she doesn't even give a shit that I'm pretty sure the punchline is in the back 30 seconds, the concept "this week's episode" might as well be from the /moon/.
@Daily Even CN doesn't really air cartoons on a weekly schedule outside of a few exceptions. We watch Teen Titans Go on Saturdays and every weekend it's like "BIG EVENT!! ALL NEW EPISODE OF [one show] ON [date]!!!"
This week they were advertising a new ep for, gasp, TWO series
@InspectorCaracal I can understand complaining about it, you want to see more of the thing you're enjoying, but man, these people having some basic understanding of how TV works would be nice.
@Daily also it sounds like some people are having a bad case of "But why isn't this made for ME"
@InspectorCaracal Adult fandom of cartoons is always *thumbs down, fart sound*
@Daily TO BE FAIR
most other fandoms are like that
@InspectorCaracal And it's obviously unfair to generalise like that, there's good and bad bits of every organised online group above a certain size --
(apparently there's an "anti-SJW, far-right" section of Doctor Who fandom, which, like, what are you even doing in the pool if you don't wanna swim)
-- but yeeeeeesh.
@Daily I dunno, I feel like A Fandom as a concept just sucks. Like as soon as it becomes a group identity thing and not a bunch of people sharing their love of [thing] then it goes bad. One bad apple etc.
@InspectorCaracal I've tried in the past, but those things have never really clicked with me.
I always feel like I'm yelling in a park.
@Daily in my experience, the ideal broadcast schedule in the perspective of *the kids* is "play my three favorite episodes constantly forever"
