If Captain Planet or Power Rangers or the X-Men animated series or Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM or Xena Warrior Princess or Justice League Unlimited came out today, you’d have a bunch of rat faced and humanoid thumb looking YouTubers complaining about the woke agenda ruining their childhoods with diverse casts, girl power and ecological consciousness.
Xmen animated came out recently to continue the story a bit, its pretty good
Yeah I enjoyed that a lot, personally. I actually rewatched the entire old series first before I started this new one. And apart from needing to get used to one or two of the voices at first, X-Men '97 carried on with the same themes and vibes perfectly.
If the Boondocks released today Conservatives would call it woke and it would make white liberals would feel uncomfortable
Babylon 5.
No idea, it created so much of the foundation for modern scifi, particularly the emphasis on in-depth plot arcs over multiple seasons.
B5 with bsg style vfx has always been the dream.
B5 would be called woke propaganda because of the parallels to what’s going on in the world today. The narn/membari conflict, the night’s watch (or whatever it was called), etc.
Married with Children, just wouldn’t be made, IYKYK.
Peggy would be a trad-wife with a secret OnlyFans that catered to feet lovers, Al would be a redpilled computer dork selling health supplements online. Bud would be an iPad kid, and Kelly would he repeatedly groomed by a new guest star each season.
Generally, I suspect it would have much better VFX and inversely proportionally poorer plot and / or acting.
Heroes.
It’s been heavily theorized that arrested development what have been a wild success now vs when it came out. When it was released it was the early 00s and most average TV watchers were into the casual sitcom. They did not have interest in watching each episode in order with a long running narrative and jokes that called back several episodes to get.
However that’s where TV went. Now most of our shows follow that format, we enjoy it more. I think now they could have been successful
