In our second list are the plots that are still going, for better or for worst.
1. Lets Make Everything Fashionable
Concept: Take a concept that needs reinventing and turn it into fashion dolls
Status: Thanks to this plot we've lost Movie Monsters, Fairy Tales, Geeks and even My Little Pony, it's slowly taking over Super Heroes as well.
2. The All Male Hero Team
Concept: Started by Ninja Turtles, a group of male heroes fighting for justice.
Status: Still going by the Ninja Turtles and is still being used by other franchises, even Lego.
3. The Overly Complex Mystery
Concept: Has become a staple of recent cartoons, the overall plot is one giant mystery to be solved.
Status: Looks no sign of stopping if Infinity Train is green lit by Cartoon Network.
4. The Scooby Doo Ghost Plot
Concept: Started by Scooby Doo, copied by clones made by the same creators, solving Groovy Mysteries involving ghosts.
Status: Attempts have been made to make the concept more perilous in nature and even trying the more complex mystery plot but ultimately still the same plot and still done by Scooby Doo.
5. The Man Child Brigade
Concept: An unfortunate addition to the 00s era, young adults acting like ADHD kids when they should have the maturity to hold down a paying job.
Status: Only ever done right by Regular Show, refuses to die and gets worst in quality as more Spongebob clones come out as well as Spongebob himself.
6. The Superhero Plot
Concept: Superheroes, Plain and Simple.
Status: As long as there are major live action superhero films there will be cartoons featuring superheroes.
7. The Spoilt Brat
Concept: A younger child character acting like a spoilt brat.
Status: Started by Caillou, made world famous by Peppa Pig, created a generation of spoilt brats, stop using it before my niece and nephew's generation suffers.
8. The Celebrity Cartoon
Concept: A Celebrity imprinting their image in cartoon form.
Status: You thought it died with MC Hammer didn't you? No it's alive and well thanks to WWE. I look forward to Ice Age 6 featuring John Cena as a wrestling gorilla.
9. The Princess in Training
Concept: A Princess in Training learning how to be a real Princess despite already being one.
Status: Disney have been doing this to death with Sofia the First and Elena of Avalor, it's very tired and often portrays the characters as being too perfect.
10. The Really Insulting Remake
Concept: Take an Old Cartoon and Remake it, in a bad way.
Status: Has been an uncomfortable trend in recent years, anime is equally as guilty at this. Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans, Scooby Doo, Bugs Bunny the list goes on.
