    Right now.
    Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake.
    New Avatar: Last Airbender animated series in the works.
    Knights of Guinevere, a show by Owl House showrunner Dana Terrace and crew, looks like it’s going to be fantastic.
    Lower Decks is some of the best Star Trek out there.
    We’re getting a Steven Universe spin-off based on Lars in his Space Pirate Captain Harlock era.
    And this isn’t even touching on all the great stuff in other markets.
    The second-best decade for cartoons was the one right before this one, and the third-best is the one before that, because they’re all building off of each other.

      I don’t think there’s a whole lot going on right now and I don’t think we’ll have another great decade of cartoons unfortunately.

      Adventures Time and the new Avatar show are just continuations of shows spawned in the 2000’s. I can almost guarantee that the new Avatar show will not be good. Steven Universe another existing IP. Lowe Decks is great but has been cancelled.

      Even if you counted all of these cartoons as new, fresh, and greats, they pale in comparison to that 98-2010 run with literally dozens of new and iconic shows. Kinda seems like the era of cartoons is coming to a close. With these last vestiges just milking what nostalgia there is left.

      New Avatar: Last Airbender animated series in the works.

      What’s wrong with the old one that there is need for a new one?

      Edit: It seems I got confused by the fact that the new series is also called “Last Airbender”, which I thought was specifically referring to Aang’s story.

      I am aware of the legend of Korra.
      I wasn’t aware that other stories in the Avatar universe still went under the name “Last Airbender”.

      Thanks for the explanations.

        Like others have said, it’s a continuation, but instead it’s following a new Avatar in their journey. Probably the 2nd Avatar after Aang.

        As far as I know, the plot is basically gonna be set in a seemingly post apocalyptic world where there are only something like 7 remaining havens/cities/whatever where humans can live because of his dangerous it is outside of them. I’m super excited to see how they handle it.

        Oh. Have you seen Korra? These aren’t reboots or remakes. The new ones don’t erase the old ones, they build on them.

          I have actually (partially) seen Korra, but I didn’t remember that it also went under the name “Last Airbender”.

          I thought that specifically referred to Aang’s story.
