Media that has aged well with time

Also King of the Hill(for the most part, there's some outdated stuff but not a ton)and early Simpsons(again for the most part).[/quote]


King of The Hill and Simpsons you gotta understand.

Everyone.

Is.

A.

Stereotype.

No exceptions.

Saying these shows should be rid of stereotypes means there would be no show.

My vote goes to Pepper Ann. When it first came to Disney + in 2021 I was a tad leery on if it was going to hold up. It did and I actually liked it better.

I didn't say anything about stereotypes relax. I'm aware of that and KOTH is actually pretty good about that sort of thing(well aside from Kahn being voiced by a white dude but it was the 90s so I can give that a pass). With Simpsons i'm talking more about things like the fact that all of the wives don't have jobs and are still able to afford nice houses, that was barely plausible in the 90s and even less so now, the TVTropes Artifact page on The Simpsons shows what I mean.

For King of the Hill it's stuff like the episode where Peggy pretend to be a drag queen as that episode had an outdated understanding of the LGBTQ community(and it actually got banned from TV for a little while after the Leela Alcorn suicide because of it)and it hasn't aged too well to say the least, and don't get me started on the episode where Bobby is treated as the bad guy for not wanting to go through the tradition of getting beaten up in the mascot costume(today we'd call that "toxic masculinity").[/quote]


I didn’t mean it like THAT.

But yea both shows did have episodes that aged not so well as well I thought you were pointing fingers at what most people do that being characters like Apu (to be honest he did start as mostly a stereotype and did have some moments that aged poorly but over the years he did get fleshed out and showed he was more than just a stereotypical Indian store clerk).

Compared to the anime we have currently I believe FLCL has aged greatly despite its older look 

Yeah i'm definitely not on the train of hating Apu, I like him and thought that documentary complaining about him was stupid(as did other Indian folks)not to mention pointless considering the creators had already made the decision to stop giving him speaking roles a whole year before it even came out.

Plus the other hosts were pretty unlikeable from what I remember.
