Apparently... Every Cartoon Is Getting A Revival....

At least the other Adventure Time miniseries have been really solid so far, I've really enjoyed seeing different stories that aren't completely centered on the Finn and Jake dynamic.

The fact that the original creative teams are working on these reboots is both reassuring and... massively depressing Because it kinda points to what has been said for a long time now - that the Western entertainment industry is hostile to new content and ONLY wants pre-existing IPs. Craig McCracken had stated that he pitched 16 different shows to Netflix, and aside from Kid Cosmic, ALL of them were rejected. So he went back to his old stomping grounds at CN and pitched a Foster's and PPG reboot because he felt like the studios were ONLY interested in pre-existing IPs. And seeing JG Quintel go through a similar journey, working on Close Enough for YEARS, dealing with countless delays and setbacks, finally getting it off the ground and receiving favourable reviews, only for it to be cancelled after ONLY 24 EPISODES, and then going back to CN and doing Regular Show again is just... kinda sad.

I was actually a massive fan of the ducktales reboot, it brought something new to the series and the creator made their own spin on it, while also respecting the original to the best of their ability. That I think is one of the best examples of a reboot that I’ve seen. It is definitely possible to continue/reboot something that doesn’t ruin the source material or run it to the ground so I’ll have my hopes but still stay cautious about what’s to come.

I think that one factor that Adventure Time has to its advantage is how big the world is, as well as how deep the lore is, it has almost limitless potential for the stories that the franchise can tell us. So long as they hire the right people and put them on the right projects, Adventure Time can have very good longevity without worry of a decline in quality.

I feel with adventure time, there's gonna always be more stories to tell in that world.

As a massive Phineas and Ferb fan, I am very unhappy with the fact that it's getting a revival. It had a longer run than any other Disney Channel cartoon so far, I suspect seasonal rot would've kicked in had it run much longer (I heard somewhere that someone who worked on the show said they were running out of ideas), and it had a perfect finale. Also, Disney cutting Milo Murphy's Law short makes the P&F revival feel like a slap to the face.

You know what I predict here? Expect A LOT of backdoor pilots going forward. It may be the only way to get a new idea off the ground, if it's already been tied to an existing IP, and I would think the creators know this. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if a reboot show comes along for basically only this purpose.

Is it too much to ask for NEW (and NOT crappy) content that's NOT instantly cancelled after one season?

Infinity train, mao mao watching like 😐

It is safe. It is easy. And it's cost-efficient. Of course they are doing revivals.

Ya know, sometimes they should just let good things die once in a while

The best thing for a Adventure Time revival, in my opinion at least, is if they did series set in Future OOO, picking up with Shermy and Beth. It's a pretty clean slate for the writers to tell more stories through and also continues the story of the world. So new watchers wouldn't have to be familiar with past seasons of Adventure Time to enjoy the show, but Long time fans can watch it and see how the world they grew up watching continues to evolve.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is getting Revived for a 10th Season

Honestly- I might give the BMO Preshow a shot even though I’m an adult I adored just watching BMO being themself in the rewatch I hosted back in October-April I’d prefer having fun new ideas, obviously, but at the same time I’m fine with the ones I grew up with sticking around a bit longer. Adventure Time especially! Shermy and Beth for example, only have 2 episodes of screen time, and are under utilized in their episodes, but there’s so much interest around them to me, same with a lot of adventure time characters!

If they revive Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. Oh my god I’m going to be so happy!!! PLEASE 😭

these revivals can ruin shows. its sad that most of the time its all for money but i have loved the adventure time revivals so far, and i hope once its over, they put it to rest instead of trying to milk it

As long as the shows look good and respects its og source material then i say it’s a good thing🤷🏾‍♂️

I’m so happy that Foster’s home is making a spinoff just for the little ones and their parents, probably everyone at this point. And I heard Craig also released new info on the spinoff too! Also he’s in london. So he can finally make the project happen. The fact that Craig made this because he and Lauren have a child. :]

I think they just realized that new stories take money and that reboots will do better at least at the start.

I absolutely adore Fosters and I once wrote a fanfic about it where Mac grew up and had said goodbye to Bloo 15 years ago but comes back to Fosters and asks for Bloo to be friends with his kid. I have a feeling as weird as my fanfic was the premise for a Fosters reboot will be worse
