>FCC massively deregulated children's TV in 1981, allowing toy companies to directly market show to children.

>All educational content and content actually good for children fell by the wayside.
Saturday morning cartoons of the 1980s were the first time advertisers had a single dominant venue where they could market directly to children unmediated by parents or educators. They could directly tell the nation's 6-year-olds "You won't be happy unless you own this toy."
Result: The branded childhood. In-demand toys existed before the 1980s, of course, but it never had a fraction of the reach, homogeneity, and--especially--tie-in branding that was created in the 1950s.
We now have a generation of adults in their 30s and 40s who are neurologically incapable of differentiating positive feelings from franchises--their brains are wired that way. Nostalgia has always existed, but this is the first generation where it's completely owned by brands.
Now that the creators are themselves the product of being marketed to as children, the snake is eating its own tail--both the marketers and the audience want only an endless regurgitation of a commercial for 8-year-olds from 1987.
The consequences for actual creators are catastrophic--our demand for an eternal branded childhood serves to funnel money directly to corporate IP holders and away from anyone trying to make something new and different. There's no clear path to undo the damage. Now that the consolidation is driven not just by corporate corporate interests but by consumer demand, even re-regulating and de-monopolizing the industry wouldn't fix it. Even if we were offered alternatives, we wouldn't take them.
Thanks a lot, Reagan.

Why isn't Blaze utilized properly in the Sonic the Hedgehog COMIC BOOKS? She just kinda shows up and breaks shit. Why don't the writers let her play off the other characters? Does Ian Flynn, the primary writer of IDW Sonic the Hedgehog, an American written, illustrated and produced comic book, not understand the character?

Short thread and for now we’re only doing part 1 of this series. Tails has a secret and he’s willing to kill to keep it a secret. What’s in his diary? What will happen to Sonic and his friends? Find out in Tails’ Dark Diary aka El Oscuro Diario De Tails!

Question: Would you be interested in days for non-Sonic fancomics like (not-Archie) Mega Man or Mario? If so, how common should they be?

Also, last thread had an update for Sonic and the Freedom Fighters. Check the OP of the last thread for posts replying to it.
