The Black Panther show/motion comic/whatever is awesome and if you don't like it then you obviously hate black people.

I think people tend to unfairly compare them to full animation rather than their more obvious, I feel, counterpart: audio books. Now it's not a perfect comparison, but it's an interesting attempt to marry the visual nature of comics with that kind of adaptation for a more passive medium.

An audio book is a valid way of reading a novel. A motion-comic is not a valid way of reading a comic.

A lot of audiobooks abridge the texts, though, and there are many that use multiple voices to enhance the experience, trying to be some closer to a radio play. They're both interesting niches, although not really replacements for the originals. Audio books obviously have the edge in being useful for the visually impaired, however. And I can't hate Spider-Woman for one simple reason. They remembered that Jessica isn't American. Even I'd forgotten that until I heard that English accent the actress had for the part.

Technically, audio books can remove some vocal implications you might add to a character via your own internal reading voice. Inflictions might change, accents you mentally added might not be there, pitches and tones might not match with what you imagined. It alters, at the very least. Granted, I "read" the Dresden Files series via book during downtimes, AND via audiobook on my way to work over the course of a few months. So I don't have any issues with audiobooks so long as they're not abridged, and you can understand the reader. I'm just saying, they're not inherently going to be the same thing as a book when it comes to a story's feel. Kurui Reiten fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Jan 23, 2012 |

That X-men anime has been ok on the G4 channel so far. Although maybe I'm just happy see Wolverine slashing and killing enemies rather than getting his claws out, putting them back away and kicking his opponent. Or slashing a conveniently nearby steam pipe to knock out his foe. And actual blood.

I'm actually pretty pumped for the DC Nation thing. The amount of new stuff, even if it's just shorts, is cool and a good way to get the most out of a property. I mean, they still have lots of time to fumble the ball and do things like shift around schedules and not air any new episodes for months like they are want to do but I have faith that they'll manage to not gently caress it up too badly.

If Warner Bros/Cartoon Network can actually stop making stupid decisions with the placement of their DC titles, DC Nation could actually be pretty cool. I'm starting to dig Young Justice as I'm curious what the big pay-off at the end of season 1 will be. The only problem is that it has been over a year since the series premiered and we're not even finished with the second season. Either the production is behind schedule or WB/CN is behind on their meds. Green Lantern TAS looks amazing. I wasn't on board with the preview clips I saw, but once I sat down for the one-hour premiere, I became hooked. There is some great character development, the writing is fantastic and the simplistic animation didn't bother me as much. This will easily be the crown jewel of DC Nation, depending on how the new CGI Batman and campy Superfriends cartoons turn out. They could give Marvel a run for their money considering the majority of Marvel animations are severely hit-or-miss. Most of the DC animation actually have brains behind them from the Timm team (Paul Dini, Andrea Romano).

Has there been any news as to whether any of the DC Nation shorts will be available online somewhere? Or maybe released later as a collected thing? They seem like they're going to be a lot of fun if that clip is any indication.

For those who actually like the show, the hiatus for Young Justice apparently has been extended to March. At this rate, Legend of Korra will air before Young Justice season 2.

I'm starting to think Young Justice season 1 is a mass hallucination. Some sort of Candle Cove thing where we all just dreamed it up. I'm not a network executive, an animator, or anybody involved in TV, but between the recent delays on both Avengers and YJ, I just don't get it.

In 378 days we've had 18 episodes of Young Justice. Weisman must be pissed.

Watched the first couple episodes of Young Justice and just could not get into it, maybe sometime after the season eventually finishes I'll give it another go. Probably not though. Also just looked up the theme song for Avengers, and if the show is as good as the theme song is bad then I guess I have to start watching immediately. The character designs don't even look that bad, and I remember first seeing the designs for Spectacular Spider-Man and hating them. And then the show turned out amazing. I actually like the design for Ultimate Spider-Man in the OP better than Spectacular, but there is still no love lost for that show. By the way, the Ultimate Spider-Man video linked in the OP is removed, what was it?

I tried to watch Avengers since its on Netflix but just couldn't get into it. Didn't help that it takes something like 5 or 6 episodes for them to actually form the Avengers.

Different strokes. Not everyone is going to like the Avengers, but it is one of the best Marvel animated series.

It was the teaser for the series. It shows Spider-man web slinging and talking to Fury, and some other stuff I don't recall. Turns out there's a new video! This series seems to be a bit more comedic, which I'm down with. Also he has a motorcycle.

And I haven't really seen a story that sells them as a team to me. There's enough things I want to watch that are not superhero cartoons that I don't really feel the need to acquire another superhero series.

This is probably the first series I've seen in years, comic or otherwise, that doesn't have Hank Pym as an arrogant, wife-slapping psychopath, or that otherwise focuses on him atoning for being horrible.

Shooter may have written some great stories but he did serious damage to Hank and Ms. Marvel. Also all the atoning for being horrible should have stopped in Busicks run but no they have to keep on bring it back. In that run h ehad come to terms with his past and put in behind him, and that countinued in Johns run, but it was brought back in Austen's run. Thank you very much Chuck Austen.
