It's because either the kids and people in general are idiots these days, or "they" want us to be. This is such a good cartoon with levels of story and character development... It's something that'd be AWESOME in the 80's or 90's. But now there is room only for idiotic cartoons with ZERO depth... That's right folks. This show was just TOO GOOD to be developed. It's ridicolous, right? That something is too good to invest in it.
shareI've heard that one of the reasons this series was discontinued was that it wasn't selling enough toys, which seems to come a lot these days regarding action shows. Of course if they would actually advertise the damn toys they might sell something.
Say what you want about the 80s but at least they understood that the cartoons were not the sole source of advertising. Yes, the cartoons helped but you still needed to make commercials showing the toys and air them for the kids. This seems lost on the modern powers that be. I remember watching this when it was on and I never once saw a commercial for the toy line.
Then again, they say kids don't play with toys as much as they used to so maybe the powers that be should try a new business model.
The show was not good and yes nowadays kids do not play with toys, figures nor traditional video games as they have everything in their tablets. If anything adults buy now toys to collect them.
