Why Disney XD Needs to Die?

 Why Disney XD Needs to Die? By Felix in the Future Productions

Another journal is about to published and to make this relevant to current events, I decided to talk about how Disney XD is useless now. First of all, let me tell about the history of this channel. It all started in 1998, when Disney wanted to make a premium channel about their animated lineup. And thus, Toon Disney was born. I remembered watching it a few times as a kid, but I didn’t fondly remembered as much as I did with Nicktoons and Boomerang. The name lasted until February 12, 2009 where it rebranded into Disney XD. During its final years under the Toon name, they were starting to milk the Jetix block as much as they can and they even started airing some live-action shows (especially from Disney Channel). It can explains the name change because DXD is basically your boy version of the original Disney Channel. As you can see, when High School Music and Hannah Montana became popular, the main channel became a cesspool of being a pop star, which is something that appeals to tween girls. Now I didn’t mind some of the shows, but Hannah Montana, Cory in the House, and Jonas weren’t my cup of teas. And when it become dominant on the channel, that when I stopped watching for a while. Disney in general is supposed for everyone (hence why they’re more safe than their rivals), not a tween factory. But back on topic, Disney XD at first was a cool channel, especially if you wanted to get away from all the saccharine shows the main channel was airing at the time. It was also different in that it was ad supported. So instead of seeing proud sponsors, you’ll see regular commercials. I had memories watching it when I used to have Dish Network. I watched shows such Kick Buttowski, Zeke and Luthor, I’m in the Band, Pair of Kings, and more. Notice how they all had male leads? Yep, this is the boy Disney Channel alright. As the years went on, some genius executive had the brightest idea ever by deciding that animation doesn’t belong on the main channel, so DXD eventually became a grounding dumping for Disney Television Animation production. Especially during the mid-2010s, outside of the occasional Phineas and Ferb and Fish Hooks airings, the only time Disney Channel ever aired animation was during the Disney Junior block and whenever they air Disney/PIXAR movies. Good for animation fans, but not good either because of the cable package. DXD has less viewers than the main channel and relying on a premium package just to watch Disney cartoons was ridiculous. This lasted for good awhile until it was announced in 2018 that most of the new cartoons (including Star vs, Milo Murphy, Ducktales) would move to the main channel. There were some hope after all! But wait, here’s one big problem we have to deal with in the future: the streaming wars. Disney decided to enter the streaming business by creating a service simply titled Disney+. To me, it is proven without a doubt that Disney XD has become a goddamn zombie once that service launched. It is an irrelevant, afterthought of a network that I regret being a viewer in the first place. I always more of a Nicktoons and Boomerang person anyway. And this is my bias on Nick and CN speaking, but even though I grew up with some Disney shows, I never look fondly at Disney’s tv content as much as I did with their movies growing up. But with D+ being a thing, you would expected less burnoffs to that channel. Wrong! In the year of 2020, they decided to burn off Ducktales and Big Hero 6 the Series over there instead of Disney Channel because they do better in ratings. And thus, the boy ghetto animation strikes again. Thankfully, they’re both ending, so we don’t have to worry about them rotting at a dead channel any longer. Oh did I forgot about two elephants in the room on what this damn channel has become? It is now an anime and gaming channel. I mean, who in the hell wants to watch a Disney network for those things? If G4 haven’t died, none of this wouldn’t be happening. But nope, hope you enjoy Player Select, which refuses to go away. As for the anime part, yes you heard it here. There is anime on Disney. They started it with Naruto Shippuden (which was too mature for Cartoon Network) but it left after a couple years. And then, they decided to form an anime block. It clearly flopped because who wants to see kid anime on Disney XD? If Cartoon Network wasn’t so stubborn with their Teen Titans GO and Gumball fetish, this would’t happened either. Nowadays, anime and superhero shows are the only thing airing new content. And yes Pokemon was there at one point, for the Sun and Moon series, but now the Journeys anime is now at Netflix (which have more viewers than DXD). And once all of those shows end (including the aforementioned two Disney TVA shows), it’s B-Y-E B-Y-E to Disney XD. I wouldn’t miss this channel at all, I’m sure most of you wouldn’t, either. All of this shit would’ve been avoided if the executives at Disney Channel gave a shit about animation and now thanks to Disney Plus, it’s too late to have the channel feel like it was growing up: a perfect balance of live-action and animation. But it’s still uneven and they still air Jessie a lot because Bunk’d refuses to die (yes, it got five seasons) and Big City Greens, as good as it is, seems to be the only cartoon they constantly give screentime whenever the others are on hiatus. Oh well, Disney+ is the future of Disney TV anyway. Thanks for reading this journal turnt into a rant in the end. Next time, I’m writing a journal on TV schedules and why I believe cable TV won’t being dying anytime soon.
