ITT: Outdated Tropes That Should Stop Appearing In Cartoons/Comics

>Person gets rich
>Becomes a jerk to all their friends
>Lose all the money, but it's OK, friendship is more important

>>85162276
>>cheerleaders are all brats
>>sporty guys are big, dumb, and also bratty

You know out of touch, in their late 20s/early30s /co/ is completely unaware that these things are outdated and will argue that they are still a thing and common everywhere, right?

Didn't you see the shitstorm about Flash Thompson in the new Spiderman movie and /co/ bitching about how he's too short and skinny to ever bully anyone?

>>85162276
most of the writers got bullied and never got over it

>asian characters with hair highlights for no real reason

>>85162364

The trope was outdated even in the 90s.

>meanwhile in some other thread
>WAH WAH WAH

But anyway, I agree. I'm so sick of the dumb jerk jocks, and it always amazes me to see /co/ bitch and moan how the new Flash doesn't follow the oldest stereotype in the book.

Animators need to stop depicting goldfish in goldfish bowls

>Person gets rich
>Becomes a jerk to all their friends
Has there ever been a cartoon aside from Ducktales where someone rich isn't an asshole

Most writers of the future are getting bullies right now. What cliches will arise from that?

>Character is forced to team up with annoying-as-fuck kid/animal/comic relief
>Character (correctly) gets fed up with annoying-as-fuck character's bullshit and tells them to fuck off
>Annoying-as-fuck character leaves
>"Oh no, what have I done!? Come back, annoying-as-fuck character!"
>"It was I, the actually sensible character who was being the asshole!"

>>85162344
The only time I've seen this done differently is in Steven universe and its great

>>85162456
They just like getting them I guess

I see plenty of asians with highlights

>>85166536

All races grt highlights irl. In fiction, East Asians do most of the time

>>85162344
Futurama did this well.

>>85165736
Steven Universe?

>>85165752
I suspect it'll lean heavier towards cliques and charisma rather than brute force and pure wealth.

>>85165736
Steven Universe.

And to cover OP it also has popular kids who aren't jerks.

As Told By Ginger.

Also Sam from Danny Phantom

>>85165736
Does Lottie from The Princess and the Frog count

The annoying-as-fuck kid/animal/comic relief is probably the only reason why children watched that show

>Nah we're just good friends, you know a boy and a girl can hang out without having to marry each other.
>It seems we were in love after all
