On Christmas Day Star Trek Prodigy season 1 will be released on Netflix. This is a new 3D animated young adult animated series that was removed from Paramount+ as a tax write off, and was only saved through an amazing grass roots campaign by fans to be picked up by Netflix so that it’s second season could be aired.

This show has been neglected by Paramount+ and it’s gotten a rare second chance. The first month a show is released on Netflix is the most crucial time of all because the viewership will determine its fate going forward. A second season has already been finished (it was nearly completed when Paramount cancelled it), but if we want to see more beyond this season we need Netflix to see that we care about it and that their risk in picking up the show is warranted.
Please. Help us save this show. It’s SO GOOD, and it was treated like garbage by Paramount+. Help us stick it to Paramount and show everyone what a great show this actually is. Help us make Paramount regret their decision. Help kids animation continue to thrive and show it’s worth! Help bring in more people into the Star Trek fandom! Help us now! Please!
I really like The Owl House, i really do
But the fandom from that show has done such an irreparable damage to media criticism that if a show doesn’t have ¨dark lore¨ or is written in different way, like being more comedy focused, for example, people would label that said show as bad because ¨it isn’t like The Owl House¨.
Not every show needs to do the exact thing, some shows can be episodic comedy or more lighthearted and work just fine. They don’t need to have a dark isekai fantasy storyline to be good. They can do their own thing.
The SUMMARY Of This Whole Current Debacles Of Animation Industry
Netflix Canceled Majority of their Original Animated Kids Content after the Realignment of their Animation Department and their Stocks Plummeted at NASDAQ e.g. City Of Ghosts!!
HBO Max (Now called Max, By Warner Bros. Discovery) Canceled and erased majority of Cartoon Network Content and their Kids Animated Original Content, e.g. Over The Garden Wall, Infinity Train, Final Space etc. To Cut Costs!!
The Walt Disney Company is just replacing Human Jobs with AI, for Art Creating and Script Writing Purposes, however there's no Animated Content in this year's massive Purged Content list of Disney+ had been announced, but who knows what will happen next!!
Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures are going to rely on Popular IP based Movies (SpongeBob, PAW Patrol, Avatar, Transformers) to be released in Theatres over the Original Ideas based Movies!!
Speaking of Nickelodeon and Paramount, their Streaming Service, Paramount+ removed several Animated Content from their Platform, after the Cancelation and Removal of Star Trek: Prodigy, e.g. Pig Goat Banana Cricket, Becca's Bunch, Digby Dragon, Monsters vs. Aliens and Most Notably, My Favourite Nick Jr. Show after Oswald ended, Peter Rabbit!! Also, Star Trek: Prodigy has been removed everywhere on Nickelodeon, including, Nickelodeon's Website, nick.com!!
As of August 2023, Cartoon Network Studios at Burbank, California, got officially Shut Down, as the Studio Operations merged with Warner Bros. Television Animation, just like Hanna-Barbera Studios!!
And Finally, when WGA and SAG-AFTRA Strikes are ongoing, The Unemployment Rate in The Animation Industry has gone at an Insane High!!
The Animation Fandom have gone way more Toxic than ever before!!
Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network are not interested to Greenlit any project for the better or worse!!
Ain't this Depressing, as an Ardent Animation Fan?? When Last Year, The Owl House got canceled, the fans protested on Twitter/X by using #SaveTheOwlHouse, and when this year, Star Trek: Prodigy got canceled and removed from existence, we are protesting by using #SaveStarTrekProdigy, I will ask you this question!!
"Will you Accept these Debacles in Animation World as The Future of Animation??"
Because, right now, it is true fact, that the Animation Fandom is not quiet ready to see the destruction of Animation in their bare eyes!!
But what shall we do?? The Fandom of This Miraculous Ladybug/PAW Patrol Duopoly and the Bootlickers of Egoistic Showrunners like Thomas Astruc, will still support the Duopoly, no matter how much we make them the noises that respect and give other shows a chance, don't sleep on them!! We will listen, we will see, we won't take any action, and we still be in Silence after all the Debacles, and the Freedom of Speech will be taken away from us!!
And in Next Year, when The Animation Guild (TAG) goes on Strike, we see more and more animated series gets the Cancelation and Purge from Streaming Services, like suppose at this rate of condition, if Next Year, Disney Channel's Series, Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, cancels at Disney TVA, and the fans will again protest on Social media by Using #SaveMGADD, I will come back and ask the Question again!! And this cycle will go on and on and on!! Unless, we have to take action against the unfairness, this Corporate Studios and Money-hungry Showrunners have created!!
So, let me ask you this question one last time, Animation Fans all over the world!!
"Will You Accept these Debacles of this Animation World as The Future of Animation??"
We have to Take Action Right Now, Before it's too Late!!
But,
Is this one Tumblr Post enough, to Reach Out to Others, and Talk about this Issue???
We have too much of a complex when it comes to animation, animation fans.
Look, no matter what, the Oscars are always gonna snub animation. Too many adults have this mental block about cartoons overall to take it seriously and already have issues with being wrong.
Doesn't mean we gotta play by their own rules. And it doesn't mean that we have to equate "Box Office Numbers" with "quality." Do you KNOW how many movies I've dived into that turned out bad numbers but gave me a good if not great time?
DNI: HHaW!/Ned McDodd haters (it's okay if you don't like them. Just don't shove it down my throat), Jojo McDodd/Veneer simps (they are canonically minors), proshitters, zoos, p3dos, anyone under the age of 13, NSFW artists, Dr. Seuss (person)/VivziePop supporters, pro-Israel, troll accounts (not to be confused with the movie Trolls), pro-animal abuse
Do NOT do these around me: Make fun of me (I am a sensitive person), send NSFW/fetish/gore art, ask to be friends, spam me, make triggering jokes, ask me weird/personal questions, just say hi, do anything that breaks my DNI
Do THIS instead: Reply to my posts, send me art/posts you think I'll like (if I know you well enough), get to know me first, compliment me/my art
I’m going to make one last plea! If you’re in ANY of these fandoms: The Owl House, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Dragon Prince, Star Wars, Star Wars Rebels, Ninjago, Transformers, Gravity Falls, or any other similar series, please give Star Trek Prodigy a watch! Seriously, just answer the following questions:
Do you like episodic content with an overarching story that builds and builds over time like Avatar?
Do you like the found family trope?
Do you like mysteries and science fiction?
Do you wanna try Star Trek but are daunted by it’s enormous history and legacy?
Do you like characters that grow and change between episodes and become better characters?
Do you like dark plot lines, trauma, and existential dread hidden in a kids show?
Are you feeling like there isn’t anything new to watch now that The Owl House is over?
If you said yes to ANY of these questions then Star Trek Prodigy is the show for you! It’s a CGI Nickelodeon show that gradually introduces you to the Star Trek universe in a gentle way through colorful characters and crazy sci-fi exploits! When a bunch of alien kids enslaved on a mining asteroid stumble upon a Federation Starship, they band together and use the ship to escape their captors. With the help of a holographic mentor, the crew of alien kids learn to work together and become a family. Along the way there’s time traveling shenanigans, deadly alien planets, devious aliens, and an underlying mystery about the ship and how it got stuck on in the mining asteroid to begin with!
Please please PLEASE take a look! It’s such s good show with great writing and easily fills the void we’re in for new animated shows! I promise you, it’s worth the time to check it out!
The cartoon fandom treating The Owl House like trash and pretending they never liked it like they did with other queer progressive animated shows once they finished airing be like:
i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
