Why does CN treat a lot of of its action shows like shit? They either get cancelled (Megas XLR, Teen Titans, Sym-Bionic Titan, Young Justice, Juniper Lee, Thundercats, Samurai Jack until recently, Beware the Batman, Pokemon which sucked after Hoenn anyway, the KND revival) or get watered-down reboots (Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10, Teen Titans again somehow).
Sure there are exceptions like Generator Rex, Secret Saturdays, Batman BTAB; but the majority have been screwed over in one way or another.

Because it's expensive compared to easy to animate comedy shows and CN's been really frugal as of late.

Also, all the shows that mildly succeeded are because of sucessful toylines. Action cartoons for kids are still the same toy peddlers of the 80's and that shit has stopped being worth the effort now that you can make money off of app shit or whatever.

Thundercats had a successful toyline though, Bandai produced a ton of action figures.

This, and action shows typically have continuity, which networks hate because people don't typically keep up with TV shows anymore. The older demographic that the shows appeal to don't watch TV anymore, they watch Netflix.

Network TV is dying rapidly and the old business models don't work.

It ran its course, and ended more or less how the writers wanted.

Also, utter drivel like SBT and YJ deserved their cancellation. I'm still pissed the latter is getting a new season.

Megas XLR was the best. They did get an okay ending with the two-parter, but I would have liked to see how Coop accidently created the Glorft. It was supposed to happen in the next season or something.

Isn't Netflix also dying?

Nah they're just making shitty financial choices is all.

I mean it's not looking good with Disney pulling out (yet they still push the Marvelshit on there like the cunts they are) but as long as people are paying those subscriptions, theyre not going under just yet.

It's all about how much money an intellectual property can generate, Action shows are merchandise funded, if the merch sold bad then the show it's canned, that's how the business works since the Saturday Morning Cartoons-thing began.

The reason why A or B action show got cancelled and the plot was not even resolved it's probably because the toys didn't generate much revenue.

I wanted megas toys as a kid and we never fucking got them. Megas also did well in ratings even in suicide slots. Megas itself was shitcanned due to ceo headbutting faggotry.

Not so much. CN wasn't too fond of the show and stuck in shit times and with too many delays. The only reason it even got more episodes than CN wanted was because it was very popular overseas.
