Slade Wilson originated in Teen Titans, where he tried to bring bring them down to avenge the death of his son, the original Ravager, who had himself been hired to kill them. He showed up a lot after that and was popular enough to make it into other comics. The arc with Terra was also adapted from the comics, with a lot of changes. She was involved with Deathstroke's plans from the start, was mentally unstable, and was in a relationship with him. Jericho, the mute hero with possession powers who only got to do stuff in the final battle against the Brotherhood of Evil, was another of Deathstroke's kids in the comics.

Original TT is good at either extreme (super serious like Trigon & Terra or super silly like Bunny Raven, Control Freak, or Kid Flash) and lovely any where in the middle.

ungulateman posted:I gotta say, after going back and rewatching some of the original Teen Titans, it makes the various criticisms levelled at TTG even more stupid. By far the worst parts of it (at least of season one) was when the show tried to be serious, and the Slade 'plot' if you want to call it that is loving embarrassingly 90s for a 2000s cartoon. TTG just skips the melodrama and recognises that when you stick five teenagers with superpowers in a building dumb things are going to happen. I dunno, I think it has its charms. It's obviously dated, and the blending of anime gags is gonna put people off, but nothing ever ages flawlessly. There's episodes of B:TAS, the gold standard of superhero cartoon, that are subpar. Honestly though, it's silly when people try to compare the two Titans shows, because they're really like apples and oranges aside from having the same VAs. One sets out to blend action and humor, the other sets out to do humor and half the time to mock the very concept of action. Also I was totally invested in the mystery of who Slade was back in the day. I was positive it was Batman putting Robin through some elaborate-rear end test. I felt so dumb when I actually started reading comics later on only to find out that Slade was just the guy's name the whole time.

I loved Teen Titans and TTGO is just taking the silly episode from Teen Titans and turning it up to 11. The original Teen Titans was full of " Purple Monkey Dishwasher" jokes and even had an episode where Beast Boy rides around on a moped stopping a Tofu invasion. I loved the original Teen Titans and I've watched enough of TTG to know that the writers did too because it really captures the silliness Teen Titans was known for.

Quick, you're in charge of Nickelodeon. It's just occurred to you that the actors for The Fresh Beat Band are way past the age where it's embarrassing for everyone involved for the show to continue. What do you do? Make them into a cartoon of course! A cartoon where band is secretly a group of international spies! And they have to finish their mission in time for their next gig! And they have a monkey sidekick! And possibly other ideas from the 1970s Hanna-Barbera dumpster! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcII6vyLhig

Hold the loving presses, Tangled is getting a traditionally animated TV series. http://di.sn/6018hWUn quote:But what makes the Tangled series so special is the amount of talent that they’ve retained from the original feature film. This new series will feature Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi reprising their roles of Rapunzel and Flynn Rider (nee Eugene) from the movie and showcase new songs from Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater, who were responsible for all of those catchy tunes in the original film. Clare Keane, daughter of Disney Legend Glen Keane (who at one point was the director on a very different version of the film and who later served as an animation supervisor), consulted on the film. They’re really getting the band back together. This is roughly the equivalent of snagging Robin Williams for the Aladdin television series. This cast is an absolute dream team. Clare Keane is wonderful and there's gonna be all those good songs and they got the voice actors and I can't wait.

Apparently this was part of the reason why Disney Channel made Kim Possible, after dealing with Hillary Duff and her crazy stage mom they decided their next big star would be animated so if the talent started causing trouble it would be a lot easier to just replace them.

Disney pay their live action stars lower than the competition, anyway. Apparently, Miranda Cosgrove from iCarly alone made 3 times more than Zack & Cody's Cole and Dylan Sprouse together.

It's way, way cheaper to spin up middle-of-the-road space filler in live action than it is in animation. Especially when most of the talent is just grown in vats in a secret warehouse somewhere in Anaheim.

I got in a conversation at work about cartoon show we all watched as kids. They were younger so they mentioned Spongebob. I remembered watching reruns of the old 1964 Hanna-Barbara cartoon, Jonny Quest. The thing I remember being the coolest about Jonny Quest is that characters died on that show for real. Not graphically, but when the villain fired his laser cannon at Jonny and Jonny reflected it back toward him with a mirror, the villain's ship blew completely the gently caress up with him and his crew on it. There was none of that namby-pamby GIJOE "everyone parachutes to safety out of exploding planes" poo poo. Jonny Quest would kill your rear end.

Anyone remember SWAT Kats? I remember it being a fun show, but haven't watched it in more than a decade, so I don't know if it has aged well or not, considering it's been more than 10 years since it last aired. I never watched the whole show since I was too distracted with HBO Spawn.johntfs posted:I got in a conversation at work about cartoon show we all watched as kids.

Both the old and the CN Johnny Quest shows were cool boy cartoons. I'm surprised they don't do any reruns of those shows, thought they're a bit dated these days. On the other hand, thew heroes actually managed to outright murder or seriously cripple a villain's operations while facing serious danger.

I haven't seen it since it originally aired but I remember SWAT Kats being kind of stupid. Like how they were fighting crime in a jet which had a bunch of nonlethal missiles. I also take umbrage to the fact that it had the subtitle "The Radical Squadron" with the terrible use of radical and how two guys isn't really a squadron.

If you can get past the general premise it's ok but it's one of those shows where they set up a lot of stuff and then they get cancelled before they follow up on any of it.

They used to show reruns of it on Boomerang before they retooled Boomerang into being Cartoon Network's dumping ground of poo poo from 4-5 years ago and also occasionally a Flintstones episode. It was as bad as I remember it being as a kid, but I was probably out of its target age range when it first aired so I have no nostalgia attached to it.

I looked up the Wikipedia entry on the series to try and jog my memory and the whole thing just seems really generic. The only things that really stood out were the whole militarized police thing and how the cast of main characters seemed kind of small. There were just the two guys who actually did anything and a couple of other people and that was it.
