Top 10 Things That Were Good But Went Downhill
The Walt Disney Company, commonly known as Disney, is an American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. I hate it when Disney takes over good movie-making companies and then drags them down into the dirt. For example, ever since Disney took over Marvel, it just wasn't the same.
What, no! It may not have the same vibe as it used to, and almost every single film they make now has made over a billion dollars at the box office (unlike previous Disney, which would either get close or do so only occasionally), but Disney on its own still makes very good entertainment!
Too many bad movies, too many bad TV shows. Plus, some of the classics (Cinderella, Bambi, Lady and the Tramp, etc.) were given awful cheap sequels.
Family Guy is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of parents Peter (Fat, Idiotic Dad) and Lois (Nagging Bitchy Wife), their children Meg (Socially Awkward Daughter) Chris (Fat, Idiotic... read more Seriously, how is SpongeBob above Family Guy? SpongeBob is still good, but Family Guy is horrible now!
What the hell? They are disturbing as hell. Have you seen Peter Problems or Screams of Silence?
At least the new episodes of Family Guy are not as disturbing as modern SpongeBob.
SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator the late Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. It is currently the most popular animated television show on Nickelodeon and is world-renowned by children and adults alike due to its humor, high-quality... read more The graphics are too polished now, which extracts the charm from the older episodes. I can't forget about the excessive Squidward torture. In the old episodes, he might have done something to deserve it, such as when SpongeBob stood up to Squidward for mooching off him. However, in the modern episodes, Squidward is treated like the town's punching bag at every possible moment for the crime of... existing? How dare he? What a monster! His actions seem completely justified, and I want him to win and everyone else in Bikini Bottom to get their karma. I could go on longer, but this is enough.
The Fairly OddParents is an American animated television series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. The show was good in its first couple of seasons, but it started going downhill later, with too many Crocker and Timmy's Dad episodes. The show also had a handful of made-for-TV movies, mostly released late in the series, which were pretty okay and made up for some of the dull episodes, like Fairly OddPet.
It's so unfortunate that this show ended on such a poor note and fizzled out before we ever got a finale.
It's mainly because of Chloe.
Need I say more? The Internet used to be fun, where everyone was friends. But now, people are messed up. Everyone hates someone, there are too many ads, sex jokes everywhere, people who think cussing is funny, My Little Pony, threats, beer ads on kids' websites, and every bad website is out there. I remember when the Internet wasn't all about singers, porn, money, or sacrificing everything to Cthulhu. The Internet just plain sucks now. I'm sad about how twisted we've gotten.
This whole franchise was decent until Collision Course came along, and it sucked!
It met its ultimate downfall in 2021 after Blue Sky Studios shut its doors in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
Rap used to be artistic and diverse, but now it's just a bunch of swearing and sexual, yet violent, references along with lazy unoriginality. People back in the 20th century were so much more creative when it came to music, including rap.

I heard bad things are going on with it.

Both her music and appearance.

Apple Inc. is an American multinational technology company that specializes in consumer electronics, software and online services headquartered in Cupertino, California, United States. Apple is the largest technology company by revenue (totaling US $365.8 billion in 2021) and as of May 2022, and, as... read more Apple was so much better when Steve Jobs was alive. They hit their downward spiral after his death. This proves no one will ever replace him. Not even Tim Cook. Now they force everyone to pay hundreds to thousands of dollars to replace their products. R.I.P. Steve Jobs (1955-2011).
They were once the leading company in technology. I am most disappointed with the direction this company has gone, as the developers and other executives have become very greedy.
Music was so much better in the past. It was excellent during the classical period, with artists like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Franz Schubert, and more. It was even great during the 20th century, with artists like David Bowie, Michael Jackson, and Madonna, along with bands like The Beatles. Now, it's just a bunch of weird pop culture with a lack of originality, all for the sake of chart sales, which is a form of greed. Plus, so many songs have sexual references instead of good lyrics and morals. Music has lost over 83% of its good quality since the late 2010s.
I reject everything from after 2019!
2012 was the last good year for video games. Games released in 2012 became a trend again in 2018 or 2019, which weren't too bad. Mid-2013 saw some decent games, but by late 2013, the quality started to decline. They became trendy again in 2020, which added to the reasons why 2020 was an awful year. I don't play games like SnowRunner and Resident Evil 3, so it seems to take 6 or 7 years for a game to become a trend. Minecraft used to be rated 12 and over, but around 2020, it was changed to all ages. They should have kept it at 12! I don't play Minecraft anymore because lowering the age rating means children under 12 might get out of control. The trending games in 2018 and 2019 were better. The first bad taste of video games I encountered was in January 2020. Roblox was a good game before 2020, but like Minecraft, its content declined after they lowered the age rating from 12 to all ages. This decade is the worst. I miss playing Resident Evil 2 in the 2000s and Roblox from 2011-2018.
There are lots of unoriginal movies nowadays. Star Wars and the classic Disney movies suffer from a lack of the originality they had back then. Plus, woke culture is being promoted in movies, especially the remakes of classic Disney movies.
Lots of movies nowadays don't have the charm many of the classics had. Plus, there are remakes of classic Disney movies that promote woke culture.
Once George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney, it all went downhill with the oversaturation of merchandise and poor-quality sequels that poorly recycle elements from the classics. After watching Episode VII - The Force Awakens, I lost faith in the Star Wars saga, even after watching bits of The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. Star Wars lost its charm and will never get it back unless George Lucas buys it back under Disney's agreement.
After the first two movies, it all went downhill. No more Macaulay Culkin, no more Joe Pesci, no more Daniel Stern, and no more of the classic charming comedy they used to have.
The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening that originally started on April 19, 1987 as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show.

In November 2006, it was acquired by Google for US$1.65 billion. YouTube is ranked as one of the most visited websites, securing... read more Yep... It used to be a fun place to upload creative, funny videos. Now, most of the attention goes to gamers and vloggers who do the same thing in every video. It seems like you're not allowed to express your opinion in the comments without others saying rude stuff if they don't agree. There's always non-stop drama on YouTube every single day now.
There used to be barely any video ads back then, but now there is a heavy ad bombardment, and it keeps getting worse every single month.
Not to mention the "delete video for copyright" crisis. I want free speech and a free Internet to return.
A lot of flash-animated shows have become trendy lately. However, some channels like Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network have replaced their quality animated shows with subpar content.
This makes classic live-action channels such as TV Land more worthwhile.
