Never.
I'm certain this is true, except in the case of GI Joe.
I am confident that GI Joe was a work of art, and that if I were to watch it again today, I would not at all find it to be an atrociously animated 22 minute toy commercial, even by the standards of 22 minute toy commercials.

you say that, but when my daughter was young and i was looking for a better role model than disney princesses or any of the awful girl's programming on netflix she-ra was a good fit. whilst i doubt it's woke by modern standards she doesn't need a man to get things done and she is quite capable of throwing a tank or punching her way through a fortress full of minions if she needs to wreck something.

My sister and I were just talking yesterday about how hilariously boobalicious everyone is in the 80s version. Like Shadow Weaver wears an Oogie-Boogie hood and has no face but definitely has a wasp waist and giant boobs. Just...okay then.
Edit: the He-Man life lessons are pretty great. Actually, the "here's the moral" bits even existing is kind of amusing. That's probably where Jerry Springer got the idea. haha

All still hold up outside of some (at times very) weak animation because it was the style at the time. And He-Man still ruled even if the animation was early flash era animation weak. The New Adventures of He-Man was where it was at even though that was 1990.
Gummibears holds up fairly well. Not as well as Ducktales, but few things do.

Last time I watched GI Joe it seemed to hold up okay. I tried He-Man and couldn't get through more than a couple of episodes
I've been afraid to revisit Transformers (outside the movie. The only Transformers movie that was ever made).

I saw that, that's the kind of stuff that makes me wonder what their internal stats look like.
Even with it being the commercials package that deal is good but I just can't renew until they fix the UI, it's not even worth the buck a month hassle.

It’s still ugly, but they did finally make it stable. Doesn’t take three tries to open the app on my FireTV anymore...

It also no longer crashes half the time during commercials.
It’s really sad that’s that’s all the praise we can muster for a streaming service that’s been a leader (behind Netflix) for a decade...

Awful girls programmning on Netflix? Are you mad? Hilda, New She-Ra, My Little Pony Friendship is magic. There's a tonne of good animated stuff with female leads on Netflix right now. Honestly kids TV is in a great place for representation of women.

The new she-ra is pretty entertaining and good kids television.
It is aimed at younger kids, and the world is thus "somewhat" illogical, but the whole show is delightfully empowering so far.
Just watched the latest season of the Last Kingdom. While I found the first seasons pretty cheesy, this latest one is the best one yet! I wonder if the fact that this is the first one wholly produced by Netflix has anything to do with the quality level? In any case, if you've been curious about this series, this is the season to pick it up. You don't even really have to watch the previous seasons all that much, as the show does a good job of recapping previous events for the uninitiated. Recommended!

I agree this was the best season in some regards. Utrid this time has no dramatic mood swings and changing character motivations; which is a huge relief.
It's based on a book, and the three seasons have continuously had mysterious sorceress, seer, lady characters that serve, if anything, as Utred's love interest that I wish they would drop entirely.

The other day I was thinking, I'd like to stream the Criterion Collection since buying the DVDs can get pretty expensive. I also remembered it was mentioned here that they moved from Hulu to FilmStruck. So looking at the Criterion page it turns out FilmStruck ends on Nov 29. Guh?

Maybe it was mentioned in the streaming threads here, but I can't remember. I signed up for a reminder. I figure I can have one more streaming sub when Game of Thrones is done and I cancel HBO. Not sure what a membership card is good for. Maybe to pretend with your spouse you are visiting a local independent video store where you would have rented Criterion disks.

I remember watching G.I.

Except for the cobra robot soldiers. B.A.T.s or whatever, anyway.

What's especially funny about that is they still weren't afraid to get real damn dark on occasion. There was one particular alternate-reality two-part episode(Worlds Without End) where several of the Joes were transported to an alternate reality where Cobra killed all of the Joes, and there's even a moment where they see their own corpses. At the end of the episode, three of them decide to stay behind and are never seen again.
And then there was the two-parter There's No Place Like Springfield, which is just ~40 solid minutes of... wat

That immediately brought this to mind, and made me wonder if they or someone in their orbit plays PUBG.

What's amusing is that these critics forget how liberal some 80's cartoons occasionally were.

Excuse me, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a national treasure.
But then there are also other programs such as the Paw Paw Bears, where to merely call them... "problematic", would be letting them off easy.
