It’s 2022, & I Went Back to Johnny Bravo

If you watched Cartoon Network from 1997 to 2004, chances are you’d have some fond memories of Johnny Bravo. The snappy humour, the clever references, the charming art and animation. It definitely deserved to be as popular as it was. However, as the years have worn on, the behaviour of the protagonist has become less accepted by society. I’m not dumb, I know part of the point of the show was to poke a hole in Johnny’s masculine aura, and let countless women rise above him, but there’s a reason you don’t see this on HBO Max along with most of the other early Cartoon Network Originals. Still, it’s commendable that a show like this existed in the 90s. I just wish it stayed more consistent in tone and message.
