Do you think 2000's-esque action/adventure cartoons will become popular again?

I'm am currently re-watching Ben 10 (2005) on Hulu and I seriously forgot how great it is. I just finished watching ATLA on Netflix, so I'm pretty much binge watching these kinds of shows. Being born in the early 2000s, I grew up watching shows like OG Ben 10, OG Teen Titans, ATLA, Justice League: Unlimited, etc. Such shows were packed with action and adventure. They also had funny moments but weren't afraid to tackle some really mature themes.

This trend has been flourishing on streaming networks for the past half-decade now, so it's heading in that direction. TV networks don't seem to want them anymore.

Other than Spider-Man, are there any action cartoons on networks anymore?

Edit: Well, there’s Primal on Adult Swim, but that feels very different from what OP is taking about.

Like I said before, viewing through streaming seems like it will become easier to support shows that would otherwise be left in the dust of a flavor of the month whether a more serial program or some of the better episodic stuff.

The sub-only anime releases in North America are the invention of the 2010s.
Not all of Family Guy has aged well (and he knows this - hell, he's friends with the PTC president now) but I genuinely think Seth MacFarlane is a really good guy.

Imagine a broadcast TV network giving someone who worked at the Golden Age of Cartoon Network the opportunity to worked on a show, and doing 8 interviews, only to completely ghosted him for weeks for absolutely no reason.



Try to wrap your head around on that one, folks.

Seriously. Explain that to me, Memorable Entertainment Television? :/
Didn't notice that the site was back...

I'll start off by saying X-Men 97 has been a blast to watch. As someone who grew up exposed to the films and cameos on other shows, it was definitely a different treat seeing how both iterations of the franchise handle the characters and their world.
Professor X's speech in today's episode was powerful ... nuff said.
I've ground my wisdom tooth down overtime so that I can clench my jaw properly again. It's equal parts good and bad news.
