Um...no.

Just no.

We have enough "adult" media.

What we don't have enough is mature, intelligent media.

People need to stop using "Friendship is Magic" as a punchline and ask themselves, really ask themselves, "why do so many people like this show?","what made it so popular"?

It's same reason "Steven Universe" is so popular.

Those shows MEAN SOMETHING.

They teach lessons. Valuable, lifelong lessons, lessons that can help us improve as people, lessons we can use in our lifes.

They teach us to see the beauty in the mundane, to mantain hope when all seems hopeless.

You said you liked when Casey Jones became a parent. Tell me, what are Shadow's likes and dislikes? Who are her friends? Did you learn anything valuable from it, did you learn anything that can help you in your everyday life?

No. All you took away from it is "Casry needs to control his darker impulses".

You don't want the Turtles to be warriors? Fine, but you don't want them to be peaceful, so you contradict yourself.

You want "Samurai Jack", a show devoid of meaning, where Jack slices his way through everything. No lessons learned, no higher appreaciation for the mundane aspects of life. It's "adult", but by no means mature.

Why do you read these comics? Do they teach you anything? Is your life better for reading them? Is there any moment when they helped you appreciate life more?

We have enough "wuxia and ronin". Enough Dark Knights. We need more "Steven Universe", more "Friendship is Magic", more Hayao Miyazaki.
