I was gonna say "Wow that theme song is crazy long for a CN cartoon" but then


I had no idea there was an extended version of this song.


Also the girls having green lantern powers bothers me. BACK IN MY DAY having knockoff Superman powers was enough to mix superhero shenanigans with jokes! Also we walked to school through snow uphill both ways!

I hope that bringing back PPG means they're gonna get more musicians to do songs about the show, because that was one of my favorite things about the original.

Seeing Moko Ono reminded me of the Beatles parody episode they did. I didn't get that episode at all when I was a kid because I hadn't been exposed to a lot of the Beatles, so it was just the weirdest thing.

It was funny how they went for a bunch of obvious jokes but then also added in some obscure stuff like the "Silver Beat-Alls" part.

I'm not yet sure what to think of Miraculous, but I'm still watching it so far. Some points:
* The dialog is pretty bad, but I'm guessing the english dub is at fault on that one.
* I really don't like the design of those fairies that power Ladybug and Cat Noir. It's like a chinese bootleg of a Digimon.
* Man, the identity of the big bad is really obvious.
* Lastly, Ladybug's superpower REALLY reminds me of that Action Man CGI show from the 90s: https://youtu.be/J0g8SsFLCfg?t=1115

Yeah, the dialogue is entirely the english dub. I highly recommend the french version; you can easily find it online (they even have an pseudo-official sub group, though because of that you have to provide your own copies of the episodes to sub).

Yes.

My elevator pitch on the show is that imagine Sailor Moon is also Spider-man and Tuxedo Mask fused with Black Cat, but the Avengers Scouts aren't around the city so those two gotta beat up the monsters of the week.

As someone who had to learn French for 7 years from middle- to high-school and had to repeat a class because of it, I can safely say French is garbage.

Also I really hope that if Season 3 of YJ happens they'll have a reference to how great Teen Titans Go is. That and that its ratings will dwarf compared to TTG. MrEnter would have a meltdown.

It's all of them. Basically, take Spider-Man and Sailor Moon and put them in a blender. It's a fun watch.

I'm pretty stoked on the possibility of Young Justice getting renewed as I've been re-watching it on Netflix recently. I really can't get enough animated DC stuff, and that series is pretty cool. The show makes use of a lot of lesser-used superheroes, and that really sets it apart from a lot of other DC properties.

I find it funny how people criticize DC's new movies for being too dour and dark, but in the same breath lap up the possibility of new Young Justice, which was the original Teen Titans without any of all that pesky fun.

Has anyone seen the french mini series Les Grande Grande Vacances? I have yet to find any videos of it with english subtitles, but what I've seen doesn't seem too bad. The animation is a bit simple, but still has some nice art.

Man, I didn't care about Young Justice, the bad CG Batman cartoon, or even TTGO. But the number one thing lost from DC Nation going defunct was all the various shorts they put out. Hell, I bet they could have lasted another couple of years if they greenlit full series based on:

-Video Game Amythest, Princess of Gem World
-Weird Al funny Animal Man
-Batman of Shanghai
-Franco and Art Balatzar Super Pets
-Aardman's 'Creature Comforts but with kids as Superheroes' thing.
-Tom Kenny Plastic Man
-Lauren Faust's Super Best Friends Forever
-The Tales of Metropolis shorts
-The Cool-as-poo poo 70's-as-gently caress Wonder Woman

...And others I never got around to.

Amethyst had a conclusion, unfortunately. It was a really awesome show, but just shy of riding the Steven Universe/Puppycat/Star Vs. The Forces of Evil wave of animation.

SBFF should have been made into something bigger, that much is true. The ALL DIFFERENT, ALL GIRLY DC comics line that just started is eye-gougingly bad.
