[quote="Regulus"]The show is not as "adult" as people say it is. A lot of the episodes are simple and predictable, and I can totally understand why one would call it childish. Because, for the most part, it is. There are some adult references, but those are just that: references. Like it or not, the truth is the overall stories are tailored towards kids and their families.[/quote]
Have to disagree there. "Adult" is the wrong word, yes (other than with some of the references), but the show does have mature themes at times. No, not in EVERY episode, but they're most certainly there. I never feel like it's a show that talks down to kids or anyone else with the exception of a small number of episodes written by inferior writers that have too much exposition.
Totally ignoring those themes and story points that are not in 90% of other family-friendly cartoons (other than other really well written ones like Korra, Adventure Time, Steven Universe) is a bit of a shame. The childishness is there, but it takes all audiences seriously. And yeah, some episodes don't have anything like that. Nothing wrong with simply fun episodes sometimes.
