Comment on How is anime and manga more popular than comics and western cartoons?

Dude the marvel cinematic universe is we…was one of the biggest hits to smash into the box office. Batman is one of the most popular fictional characters ever written. People are still talking about adventure time, regular show, Avatar the last Airbender, and they ended how long ago? SpongeBob is still on the air. Simpsons has lasted longer than most anime.
What are you talking about, Western comics and animation being less popular?

I wonder if perhaps they meant prevalent? Because, yeah, Western animation is extremely popular (at least, in the West where they were made) but it’s not exactly as prevelent as Japanese animation. For every Western animation, there seems to be 25 Japanese ones.

That makes a lot more sense
