The problems became even more apparent in the second season when it started to have a more linear plot and the romance got more invasive. The first season could be seen as a harmless silly episodic comedy/action show. A fourth season is planned but there's nothing to look forward to.
With Rick and Morty dropping quality in the last season, Steven Universe getting worse with each solution and revelation, and now modern anime infecting cartoons with the Thundercats reboot turning the original GAR into cute furries doing silly things, the future of modern cartoons became darker. There goes the only visual medium that was doing somewhat fine, it was good while it lasted.
