I've finally been watching bits and pieces of Ultimate Spider Man and, holy poo poo, this cartoon is so ridiculously toyetic. Why the gently caress is Spider Man being given motorcycles and jetpacks? When has he ever needed all this crap?

Also his Spider Buggy in the original comics.  "Spidah-Man" is also the title of an Ult. Spider-Man episode where Spider-Man goes to Boston for a day and is their resident superhero as they don't have one. What really bothers me about USM is that I thought Marvel would be able to handle their own character in a cartoon better than Sony could. Sadly, this is not the case at all.

raditts posted:I just watched Beware the Batman today and the only thing it has going for it graphic or animation-wise is that it's not as bad as the Pac-Man show. But god drat is it ugly, I felt like I was watching a 22-minute cutscene from an early Playstation 2 game. It honestly doesn't look that bad to me, but maybe that's due to exposure to the GL:tAS which had a similar CG style.

I've only seen a few preview clips of Beware the Batman and all I can say is that despite it being an honest effort, I'm just not feeling it. I grew up watching Batman: The Animated Series so the bar is set pretty high for me as far as Batman is concerned. I was living overseas when B:TAS came out so I couldn't watch it on TV. Luckily, I had a friend who had a buddy back in America who would tape all the episodes for him on VHS and mail them to him to watch at home. It was the only way any of us could get to watch Batman in Germany so it goes without saying that kid was King Cool.

It's too early for me to judge Beware the Batman one way or the other but its environments look horribly sparse and lifeless. At a few points the ground was just a flat textureless plane. That fake Batgirl show actually looks better in that regard; when I first saw it I was actually hoping that it was a real thing they were working on. BtB is breaking MY B&B IMMERSION!

The only thing I didn't like much in the first episode was how I had to wait for characters to get into focus before I knew where the camera was pointing because it was all Generic Corridor Central.

The episode where Cyborg becomes the Tower and essentially becomes HAL was wonderfully twisted, and I couldn't quite decide whether the ending was horrifying, or hilarious.

Well it's definitely interesting. I don't know about good or anything yet. I'm a little disappointed they changed Professor Pyg to an animal rights activist-type villain (at least for his first appearance). It is an interesting change to a previously existing character whose gimmick was be a crazy butcher (which obviously doesn't float well on TV), but they could've tried the circus freak gimmick instead. Hopefully the show will get into its own soon because at this point, it's about as good as The Batman right now.

If you had told me a few years ago that out of all the comic book cartoons being shown, including a Batman, Avengers, Spider Man, and Hulk cartoon, that the only one that was worth watching at all was the one where the teen titans were all re-imagined as psychotic assholes I probably would have laughed in your face.

I just saw the end of the original Teen Titans cartoon on Boomerang and now I'm really pissed off that the next season doesn't exist. The show had really found it's groove by that point and the last episode "Things change" was an awesome opener for a potential final season (they were totally foreshadowing the team breaking up). I really hope that Teen Titans GO can breathe new life into the franchise so we can get some proper resolution. Side note: It took me about halfway into the Brotherhood of Evil finale to realize who Jericho was. I fail as a comic geek.

Not sure this is the right thread to ask but: I used to always watch The Wonder Years way back when. Now I have an urge to watch it again. Is there a way to buy the seasons on DVD? The only thing I found is amazon.com direct video. Were the seasons never released on DVD?

Like they said, the show is streaming on Netflix. They largely seem to get around the musical issues by using similar sounding generic music, including a sound-alike version of the theme thats similar enough that I don't mind it at first but with enough differences that I find it distracting.

That is a lovely reason to not be anle to publish a DVD set. Greedy idiots keep me from watching that show. Unfortunately Germany has no legal way to get Netflix from the US and German netflix has a very different set of shows... Well I guess  ...

The newest episode of Beware the Batman was...mediocre Newest villain of the week is: Anarky. Simplified into, essentially, a whiny teen with a large amount of unwarranted self importance. Probably a little more palatable given that the original was more of an anti-villain and later became something akin to Batgod. Still pretty poor. The B-plot with Tatsu/Katanna is moving at an okay pace. We got a glimpse or her sword, so that's something. I would've preferred an introduction to Robin or Batgirl rather than Katanna as Batman's partner, but I'm just a tad afraid of what they might change in that instance. Another thing irking me about this series slightly: the lack of alternative outfits on the characters. Tatsu is still in the same jumpsuit. Bruce is in the same shirt and jacket.

If you're complaining about whimsy in Brave and the Bold then you're not getting the point of Brave and the Bold. Edit: The first episode I saw had the Justice League in a baseball match with the Legion of Doom. The show's existence needed no further justification past that point. readingatwork fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Jul 28, 2013 |

I'm waiting for someone to declare a specific Batman the Beware episode absolutely loving AMAZING before sitting down to watch it or caring in general. The thing said earlier about making Pyg an evil animal rights activist really pisses me off.
