Is there a better cartoon theme than Ducktales? I've been wracking my brain and I think it's the pinnacle of the genre, being extremely catchy, energetic, and informative.

Show intro at the end of this livestream: I like that there are several moments in there that parallel the original intro at the same timestamp, like Launchpad's appearance, exploring a dark dungeon, Scrooge with a lot of money, and the mummy chasing them.

One thing that pissed me the hell off was Nickelodeon's practically criminal treatment of the Avatar: TLA theme. Ever since I first saw it, it always felt like something that was cut abruptly short. And turns out it fricken' was! Here's the full theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYS02Gm92oI Seriously, look how infinitely better the theme is in its full context. And for some dumb reason, Nickelodeon decided to cut the best part out. And don't tell me it's because they wanted a shorter intro for more time for ads or whatever. Spongebob's intro goes on for a full minute, as does Fairly Oddparents, and both those shows exist for nothing more than merchandise.

Here's the full theme: I find it kinda weird you didn't notice this before considering the Avatar theme is kinda used multiple times in the show and even a few times in Korra. Sure it's slightly different since it doesn't have the slow underscore that sits underneath Katara's narration but still, it's like in a bunch of different episodes

I'm enjoying the running thing in a few modern cartoons of Blurring the lines between the heroes and the villains, by having them interact across said lines naturally as the situations develop. I'm talking things like Star Vs with Star's mother calmly comforting her primary villain when he's at his lowest point, patiently listening as he rants about his lovely (save Dennis  ) family or Steven Universe with Blue Diamond having a talk with Greg Universe about the nature of grief and how it can be difficult to handle, and then being won over by Blue Zircon's defense even when she herself is implicated in her sister's murder as a result of it (she's at least willing to consider it valid enough to try to keep the trial going even trying to calm Yellow's rampage) They're really interesting storytelling devices that I like seeing, watching neutral relationships develop outside of the core conflicts.Even Xiaolin Showdown has occasional moments where Jack would genuinely attempt to reform only to let himself down. By the end of things Omi was pretty close to being able to consider himself one of Jacks friends even as they fought due to his level of patience with him even as he betrayed them multiple times. There's also moments like Chase Young teaching Omi how to deal with Clay's possession because it isn't useful to either of them for him to remain that way, and all the times Chase and Omi were stuck fighting alongside each other like with the spiders.

So I just got around to watching Over The Garden Wall for the first time, it's a fun little series (it actually gave me kind of a Miyazaki vibe at times) with a great voice cast but what was the deal with that ending? At first it seemed like they were pulling the "it was all a dream" cliche but then they did that epilogue at the end that seemed to indicate The Unknown and its inhabitants did exist after all, plus there were a few instances during the series where we saw things Wirt and/or Greg weren't present for, I don't get it. Though I suppose it's possible that last little segment could have just been wishful thinking rather than fact ("The loveliest lies of all"). Still a good show and worth checking out though. Also, why exactly was this show TV PG? I don't remember seeing anything more graphic or suggestive than we saw in shows like Gravity Falls and Avatar/Korra (hell, Korra had a couple of on-screen murders and it was still Y7).

There are tons of successful cartoons that have theme songs with no lyrics, like Rugrats, for example (though I wouldn't call that theme catchy, personally).

But that doesn't have to do anything with my point about Nickelodeon being dummies for truncating the theme.

I was just considering the old Spongebob episode "Ripped Pants", and realised (and a cursory search shows others have had similar thoughts) that it seems very predictive of how the show, amongst other Nickelodeon shows, ended up - a funny idea (the titular accident) that eventually runs out of steam and becomes a source of irritation for former fans (Spongbob's over reliance on his joke), only to eventually be deconstructed in a way that makes people appreciate what made it good in the first place (The Band of beach burnouts coming together and merging their woes into a coherent whole, placing the initial joke as just a piece of the entire story of the beach as a whole). I think that's part of what made the episode good - they understood how a joke died, intentionally played off of it and figures out how to revive it for the finale.
