Well, this is going on everywhere. It's not just animation. Comics, too. This is what happens when you bring in tumblr grade post modern moral relativist hipsters to make these properties. They cannot write heroes, and their art is horrendous because they don't respect the properties or the audience. They just "like" things ironically so they can make fun of it. It's been going on in comics for over a decade and it's definitely where IDW started to fall apart.

I have G.I. Joes action figures that I let the kids play with, and everytime a friend comes over and discovers them its the thing he or she want to play with. Kids still loves to play with action figures, they just don't know that it exists.

A lot of the more modern joes, from Rise of Cobra or after that.

Put GI Joes in Fortnite maybe?
Do any toy lines really excite kids these days? Most metrics I've seen seem to be that the action figure lines are mostly adults. |

Guys, this is also coming this fall, and it looks to be a noticeable upgrade over the last few years of Transformers content. So some of you need to be getting of your high horses about the state of modern cartoons.
https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers:_EarthSpark Also, a big reason a lot of those traditional action cartoons aren?t seen as much is because most are tied to an existing franchise. And the fight for streaming content has really chopped up the availability of that sort of content: Star Wars produced a new final season of Clone Wars, and went into the Bad Batch, with season 2 due this fall. Exclusive to Disney Plus Marvel has largely dialed back its cartoon output in favor of the film-tied series, but they are making a revival to the 90s X-Men cartoon. They also, finally, released Future Avengers internationally. All exclusive to Disney Plus. Warner dusted off the well received Young Justice series and has produced two additional seasons thus far. Exclusive to HBO Max Mattel made some noticeable waves with Masters of the Universe with the older fan geared Revelations and the new kids series. Exclusive to Netflix Voltron received an acclaimed reboot. Exclusive to Netflix Power Rangers is getting work done on an expanded universe of films and series. Exclusive to Netflix Star Trek Prodigy is an adventure/action series aimed at kids. Initially exclusive to Paramount+ Transformers Earthspark will initially be a Paramount+ exclusive.

This seems to be a thinly veiled "old man yells at cloud for being 'too woke'" when occham's razor suggests that Hasbro saw a market opportunity in a stupid, absurdly profitable line and is trying to run with it. Is patriotism lower than in the past? Possibly, but that's too easy an excuse for product popularity - and overlooks that GI Joe went from nothing 3 years ago to "we're making five times as many Classified figures and still selling out" right now. Patriotism? Pffffff.
