You say it like it will do anything.

 

However unlikely it may seem, it is possible if enough people support the idea. It wouldn't be the first time Hasbro has done something because of popular demand. Let's not forget about The Return of Optimus Prime back in the '80s, or Waspinator's survival in Beast Wars.

 

My kids are going to love watching this show...


at 3:30 in the morning.  

 

Ah, Cartoon Network, the once-great network in the 90s, the same network that later cancelled Megas XLR after season 2. What could go wrong?

I guess the cartoon matches the toyline....lol.

I wouldn't be so sure, I mean there's that new She-Ra reboot .

 

I\'m actually curious to see what the animation looks like.

 

I'm not a fan either....mostly because it hasn't even aired for me to judge it yet.

 

So they're sending this to die like that Mega Man cartoon?

 

And CN can't? Cause it's not like they have partners all over the world to distribute their content. No wait it's the opposite of that.

 

Well, looks like it’s back to the death time slots for TF again. I was really rooting for a Netflix release this time.

 

Just found a clip on Youtube of the show . I think the character designs look pretty good and I like the animation too . It actually looks better than i expected .

 

Justice League Action was an 11-minute series. Cartoon Network aired it once a week early in the morning with little promotion. Mega Man: Fully Charged is an 11-minute series. Cartoon Network is going to air it once a week every Sunday at 6:30 AM. So far, they haven't promoted the show at all.

It's really optimistic of you to think Cyberverse isn't going to suffer the same fate. If it's not produced by Cartoon Network Studios, it's thrown to the wolves to prove itself. Very few shows thrive in that environment.

 

I said hopefully. I didn't say they would, but that they could. Both of your things prove what I said though about their content bias towards self-owned. CN tends to act mildly favorably to Transformers stuff at the first season. It's after it gets death slots if it's not holding decent ratings. But even so, it's licensed to air, not made by, and Hasbro can use toy sales to justify moving it to another network if CN tries to kill it. Whereas WB content is more or less stuck with CN.

But the other difference in those is that they don't have a movie coming up either that features the title character of the show. CN may be rather mean to non-self owned shows, but they do take advantage of anything they can to boost ad revenue. And if something works really well, they push it hard. CN has been known to move transformers content around some during movie hype. So they are likely to take advantage of that during November and December. RiD in spite of the time slot still lasted several seasons and did very well on toy sales. It ran to completion, and had marathons during movie hype.

CN would be likely to bump up Justice League Action in a batman, Superman, or wonder Woman movie year. Aquaman not as much since he's not as prominent of a character and Titans Go! can fill that. Nice to know where Megaman is going though, wasn't aware of that. Will have to set the DVR up for that. But that's been getting so much internet derision as has JL Action, can't exactly fault them for being overly cautious with those. Though last I checked JL Action wasn't performing that badly either even in that time slot.

Titans Go! on the other hand is kind of CN's middle finger to the internet, because it banks. As much as areas of the internet whine about it, it banks.

We had a place for decent timeslots for Transformers stuff with the Hub, but fans whined about that one too and wished for its demise. I personally was hoping for Nickelodeon with the new Paramount deals, but that's probably also for the best for now to not. Nickelodeon gets a bit too 'possessive' of material even when they didn't make it. So CN may give Hasbro more options on digital avenues of release without dealing with that kind of locked up exclusivity Nickelodeon typically requires.

Not exactly worried though. Cyberverse, Thundercats Roar, and Titans Go! are the perfect back to back pairings really to evoke that saturday morning cartoon feeling. Kind of that "after school cartoon block" experience for modern kids without actively being an after school kids block. So it would be smart to put those together with Megaman actually too. But that's kind of a ways off and I can see them wanting to test out Megaman in an early morning slot first. But for reruns, that really works in their favor overall. CN content is all reruns really and all premieres do is get new fodder into the rerun cycle. And nowadays, digital, on demand, and DVR kind of makes time slots obsolete anyway.

Nothing wrong with being optimistic, as much as you want to deride me for that. Which is a silly thing to deride someone for anyway.

They are aware of the possibilities of that. That's what Prime Wars trilogy was about tbh. To see how strong the market hold to doing something like that could be. And it proved to be very strong as much as 'fans' complained about it. So the odds of something like that happening have greatly increased thanks to the market data/viewing stats from Prime Wars.

So it's likely something they are actively considering looking into for later, but have no concrete plans for as yet. Likely sitting back and waiting to see how Voltron continues on, and She-Ra performs. If those keep doing well, Netflix might look into more from the classic 80s fields. There are other possibilities too with the Paramount deal that could be getting looked into as well. Transformers has become a much more "Pop culture Icon" these days even more than it was in the past.

 

I honestly don't see the issue with the new She-Ra, although I can't say I care for it one way or another.
I can say, however, that the Netflix Voltron show is an example of how good Netflix can be with cartoons and on how much Hasbro is missing out on.

 

She-Ra have ugly terrible character designs and she looks like a boy.

I heard they went full Korra again with Voltron and made a shipping out of nowhere, let's just stay with that.

 

DOA

 

Like I said, dont care.
Also, I am very much behind the shipping so that changes nothing.

 

Whelp. I don't expect to be able to see it, the way those people schedule shit.

 

Nah. Fully Charged comes on the 6:30 am slot, so it'll hopefully be around 7 or 8ish.
