I know feminists would hate this show today but


If you think about it tho,it was kinda pro feminists most of these women never give Johnny the time of day. I saw a video of a woman roasting Butch Hartman about his female characters in Danny Phantom and they brought up his work on Johnny Bravo. The youtuber was full of shit imo with both shows

If anything, this show made the women look too aggressive and vindictive.
But that is maybe what the problem is, even if you're absolutely right that the women always won.
Of course, Johnny could be full of himself and have some really stupid pick-up lines.
But still, it is hard for me to grasp why so few women wouldn't give him a chance.
That is what the very gimmick of the show was though, I guess.
He thought that he was God's gift to women, but he would hardly ever get lucky.
That is hardly true in real life though, because plenty of women fall for worse men than Johnny Bravo.
Even so, I will confess that I would pick Carl over Johnny.

I don't think Johnny is unrealistic. Hes one of these so called Simps. Hes always looking for approval and acceptance from women. Hes in his 20s with no life skills and lives with his mom. His best friends are a little girl and a beta male. Yeah there are worst than Johnny a lot of those guys can't keep a relationship and the worst ones will likely end up dead or in prison.

Johnny Bravo was ahead of its time with its treatment of women, but why was it ever a kids' show?

What makes the 1997-2004 Cartoon Network show "enjoyable is that the perspective of Johnny Bravo the series is different from that of Johnny Bravo the character," says Brian VanHooker. "I’m sure some jokes have aged poorly over the last 20 years, but Johnny Bravo the show generally portrayed women as smart and strong, resoundingly rejecting Johnny’s objectification. Johnny’s ignorance is also why series creator Van Partible decided to surround Johnny with women, so that they could constantly educate him on what he’s doing wrong (unfortunately, Johnny was too stupid for any of it to stick). This dynamic, reportedly, also played out at Cartoon Network when episodes of the show were first shown internally: The men in the room were lukewarm on the series, but the women loved it. And though people today might remember the lustful pursuits of Johnny Bravo, the forward-thinking perspective of the series seems to be underappreciated. Case in point: The show premiered in 1997, so while Joey on Friends was still picking up chicks with a well-timed 'How you doin’?,' a kids’ show on Cartoon Network was offering a scathing rebuke of that culture."
