Pictured: Millennials talking about the silly wizard power fantasy like it's Shakespeare. Harry Potter truly is to Generation Y as Star Wars was to Generation X. It reminds them of a "better time" when they could remain ignorant of all the horrible things happening in the world (paid for by their tax money).

the best kids' stuff is the kind like animaniacs, freakazoid, or the 90s batman where they're clever enough to make jokes and references that the kids don't even notice, but are hilarious to adults.

You don't get Adam West to do bit parts in batman media for the kids who have never seen the 1960s show.

gender segregation is mostly about marketing, there was a Young Justice cartoon a few (10?) years ago that was really popular and critically acclaimed but the action figures didn't do the numbers the suits wanted and the show was cancelled because they had made good television instead of a boys-only toy commercial.

Agreed, I think a more modernish (I say 'ish' because it's like over a decade old now) equivalent would be something like Gravity Falls which I hardly ever admit to liking because it's Disney, but it's a genuinely funny and well written show, same goes for Owl House, which got cancelled for being too gay.
