@cooljay7 @VJ-Philogene Regardless of everything that's happening with these current shows, I think that overall shows, such as Adventure Time, Steven Universe, etc, are suffering from seasonal rot. Even Ben 10 is going through this (especially with Omniverse, in my opinion; 8 seasons was too long for Omniverse alone to have). When a series lasts for so many seasons and ideas and a proper direction are starting to run dry, a series goes through seasonal rot where it just progressively and gradually gets worse and its quality diminishes. The original PPG show suffered from this after Craig McCracken left. The Fairly Odd Parents and Spongebob Squarepants are going through seasonal rot. Family Guy and The Simpsons are dealing with this. Any show that runs for too long can suffer through this. You can only run a show for so long before you just end up running out of ideas and/or you no longer can provide a proper and strong direction for it. In cases like this, it's usually best to just end the show instead of just struggling to keep it afloat. Gravity Falls only lasted for two seasons but that was what the creator of the show wanted. Craig McCracken didn't want to continue the original PPG show because he thought that it lasted long enough and that it wasn't necessary to continue the series onwards. It's a struggle for creators to pull this off though because networks want the shows to continue so that they could keep earning profits off those very shows. Knowing that Gravity Falls would only last two seasons (20 episodes each), Disney opted to release new episodes as slowly as they possibly can just so the show could last for a very unnecessary almost 4 years. Overall, seasonal rot can really take a toll on any show that lasts for so long.
