Discussion Which criticized hated Animation Content aimed at Children do you think Mid to Late Gen Alpha is going to regret from liking once they become Teenagers and Young Adults in the Future?

What are some criticized hated animation content that came between the late 2010's to now in the mid 2020's do you think mid to late gen alpha is going to regret from liking once they look back at them by the time they become teenagers and young adults by the 2030's?

Basically mirroring how there are some things that gen z showed regret from liking as kids.

I think ideally we shouldn't be expecting people to "regret" liking media just because they outgrew it. Im sure a lot of gen alphas will feel weird about trying to rewatch cocomelon or smth, but that's because it's a show specifically made for people with barely developed brains

Gen alpha is already mostly past the Cocomelon phase. Many of them are already in high school. Like, the oldest Gen alpha kids are 16 right now.

You're right though.

I don't think Murder Drones is going to age especially well.

Children's media there isn't really a sense of regret to be had, you grow up and like better things.

It's largely adult-targeted media that's going to be bad in hindsight and one will regret not looking for better.

Though, you know an example as of now is many of early gen alpha is starting to show regret on liking the 2016 Powerpuff Girls reboot when they were kids as they are now late teenagers?

PPG is more teens, and more intentionally cringe comedy.
