So are these /co/'s "Big Three"?

>>86367973
For action cartoons, sure.

>>86368002
What would it be for comedy cartoons?

>>86368021
Gumball and Ed Edd 'n' Eddy. Dunno about the third.

>>86368021
The Simpsons, Futurama, The Critic

>>86368138
maybe Futurama, maybe ATHF, maybe classic Looney Tunes

And Gumball and Ed Edd Eddy are both fantastic, but are they truly the top 3?
The list is so much longer for comedy cartoons, that I think it'd take quite the debate.

>>86368138
I nominate Gravity Falls but it's more of a mystery show I guess?

>>86368021
Early Spongebob. Early Simpsons, and Ed, Edd, n Eddy.

If /co/ was being honest, and considering the shifting age demographics, Teen Titans would overtake BTAS, and Steven Universe would overtake Jack.

BTAS, Duckman and The Critic

>>86369106
I'm pretty sure OP is talking about quality, not popularity. No one here would argue that the three series in the OP are anything less than great and be taken seriously. It's like an automatic flag that someone is trolling. Whereas with Teen Titans most people think it's really good but it's not in the same unassailable position as Avatar or B:TAS. Steven Universe is not anywhere near as good as Teen Titans, let alone the other three.

>>86367973
PPG, B:TAS, Samurai Jack

>>86368021
Courage, Dexter's Lab, Spongebob

>>86368138
Gumball is well-liked, but too new.

Early Spongebob would be a better fit.

>>86368138
I'd argue Early Spongebob, Looney Tunes, and perhaps Futurama or Early Simpsons

>>86369371
>Looney Tunes

Winner. For as many pop culture references it has from the 30s, 40s, 50s, etc., it's still truly the one timeless cartoon.

>>86369371
>>86369398
I thought about Looney Tunes, but discounted it on the basis of it being a collection of shorts rather than a show.
Likewise Spongebob; it feels kind of dishonest to separate the earlier seasons from the later.

>>86369615
But that's wrong. Would you say the same thing about PPG? The old one was god tier, the new one is tumblr.

Are there really that few quality action cartoons that we're including an overrated show like Avatar? Not to mention the fact that a full quarter of the episodes of both Batman and Samurai Jack are legitimately bad?

>>86368021
EE&E, Futurama, and Duckman.

>>86369766
>few quality action cartoons
>shows that i dont like

>>86369766
It had its flaws but if you think Avatar was anything less than stellar overall you are straight up as dumb as a fucking post.

Also, even supposing you are correct that those shows had a bunch of bad episodes, do a handful of bad episodes somehow negate a majority of amazing episodes? Fuck off, idiot.

>>86367973
I feel Batman should excluded for not airing during /co/'s existence

>>86369249
>Steven Universe is not anywhere near as good as Teen Titans

Haha, nope. TT is massively overrated if anything. Its babby's first dramatic show.

>>86369879
Its not that Avatar isn't great, its more like..is that really all the competition there is? I mean, the top tier of BTAS episodes blow anything Avatar ever did out of the water(though Avatar was more consistent overall). In part I think because /co/ grew up in part with Avatar its become this sacred cow on this board.

Korra made TLA retroatively better

I feel that had it had more seasons, this show would've been a strong contender.

There's only one

>>86368021
Looney Tunes, Spongebob and Ed, Edd n Eddy

>>86370368
I wish there was a word for something that was funny, sad and true.

It's what your post is.

>>86370351
>I mean, the top tier of BTAS episodes blow anything Avatar ever did out of the water

That's an asinine thing to say. They had completely different goals and strengths. None of the fights in BTAS ever matched up to Avatar, while no individual episode of Avatar matched up to the masterful episodic storytelling in BTAS, while BTAS never even attempted something as long-form as Avatar's second season arc. You're comparing apples to oranges and acting like a retard.

No love for GL TAS?

>Big Three
Doesn't that imply that those are overrated cartoons? That's what the big 3 implies for anime.

We're just waiting for the next season that they setup and foreshadowed.
Until that is shown cause it totally will, the judgement is reserved.

Never touched samurai jack
Is it good, and anyone got a link ?

>>86370987
It was better when you were a kid and had never seen anything like it before

LALALALA I CAN'T SEE THAT.
LALALA TOTALLY GONNA GET BLACKEST NIGHT BIZ AND BLUE LANTERN RAZOR WILL BE AWESOME.

>>86370921
But when uses the phrase "Big 3" on 4chan, people are often talking about Anime.

>>86371359
I've never heard that term, then again I'm usually on /co/ not /a/.

We got a Big 2, which is of course DC and Marvel

Objectively Big 3 should be

South Park
Samurai Jack
King of the Hill

>>86367973
Swap Batman with Justice League/JLU and it's spot on. It was consistently better.

>>86367973
Not mine

>All these replies

I mad.

>>86367973
replace Avatar with Home Movies and okay.

>>86375212
Not enough waifus and lore.

>>86370685
v. strong contender here

>>86375212
Most people treat that as part of Looney Tunes.
