He's writing the movie, he's kind of needed for that. He's been bouncing from big project to big project without breaks. Live by Night was a big passion project for him and it's getting poo poo on, and he's still going through his divorce. How did this end up in the animation thread anyway?

Lego Batman, through some twists and turns. I think it's going to be good. No movie with Barbara and Bruce as an item can fail.

He didn't say it was misleading, just that he didn't like the pairing either and told people to "just wait" when people said they wouldn't see the movie because of it. Though, he also said that the movie should rank between Batman Forever and Batman and Robin for expectations.

Some ask me why I keep my gimmick, and say that I have a lot of loyalty to a tainted username. I'm wondering if they know that I am not a comic book animation before throwing that question at me. At least someone talks to me honestly, and doesn't need to ask who I am. It doesn't matter who ignores who, what matters is the posts. No one cared who I was before I started shitposting. If I stopped, would it hurt? Yes, it would be very sad. "You're a grown rear end adult," you might retort. What I mean is sad for you. ThermoPhysical posted:Though, he also said that the movie should rank between Batman Forever and Batman and Robin for expectations. Well congrats to him, he got himself a Twitter post that will look stupid in hindsight. What's the next step in his master plan? Crashing the movie with no careers surviving?

I just wanted to talk about the Spider-Man/X-Men crossover from the 90's. You guys weren't kidding about the episode titles from Spidey's series. Neogenic Nightmare, Chapter IV: The Mutant Agenda. All it needs is a Turbo on there and it would put Capcom to shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn7JTb_VV74

It takes 1 minute for Spider-man to fail to escape danger by his spider-sense, get in a metal suit, meet and be threatened by the main X-Men team, threatened to be stabbed by Wolverine, flirt by Rogue, destroy that metal suit, web up the entire X-Men roster, destroy a huge metal door and try to escape the X-Mansion.

Unpopular opinion: I finished (re)watching Young Justice today and I still like it. I probably like it more now than when I had to wait for episodes week to week. Season 1 definitely had issues with stupid catchphrases and "everything according to plan" moments, but those are almost entirely absent from season 2. Almost. And yes, season 2 has the issue of having a ton of new characters who have absolutely zero characterization/plot growth (Wonder Girl especially) in favor of giving probably way too much to Blue Beetle, but overall the story was solid all the way through when you focus on what they did present rather than what was missing. The art style, characterization, and overall tone are all excellent. I am thoroughly excited for season 3!

There's supposed to be an exchange and someone is about to unmask Spider-man when all hell breaks loose in a lab with a mayan temple and Curt's science beam and the sunlight and everything is shooting off everywhere, Spidey's fighting Tombstone, poo poo's exploding, yadda yadda yadda Silvermanne becomes a Genius Baby, Fisk's wife dumps him and Tombstone sells the tablet to Adrian Toomes (who would then use it to get some Youth Absorbing tech and steal Peter's youth... ultimately leading to Toomes being stuck with the Man-Spider virus/dna thing and Peter young and normal)

The mutant agenda episode blew my mind as a kid because it was the first time I realized that they shared a universe. Then it clicked, "well of course if he's mutating he should see the X-Men!" That and Roger Rabbit cemented my love of basically all crossovers.

I honestly wish the show had better animation, less hectic pacing and not quite as much Fox-mandated censorship, because some of the stories are pretty decent adaptations of comic book stuff and the voice cast was great, but its problems make a lot rougher to rewatch than even X-men.

X-Men is a really great show, it does drag a bit once you get into the later seasons where it's all alien races and everyone's in space all the time. We blew through most of it over a long weekend but couldn't quite make it to the end.

I think the last season they outsourced the animation to Korea which led to a noticeable drop in quality.

I remember when Spider-Man 3 came out a bunch of people saying it's impossible to do the venom story in less than two movies, and while I don't think that movie was a good version of it my response was always "bitch, the cartoon did a perfectly respectable version of it in 60 minutes."

I mean that's not really true, Eddie Brock was built up for ages before he got the symbiote. I do think the problem with the black costume story is that getting rid of it in the bell tower is basically the climax of the arc, having Venom show up after that in the same film feels kind of.. .foregone? Excessive? It's not about how much time is left in your movie, it's about plot structure.

Secret Wars was really different and was part of the series finale. After several seasons of portentous hints about destiny and whatever, Madame Web introduced Peter to the Beyonder, who rigged the entire secret wars as a test of Spidey's leadership skills so he could later lead a team of Spider-mans from the multiverse to stop Spider-Carnage from THIS SHOW WAS SO STUPID OH MY GOD.

I remember that batshit insane stuff and I feel like Ben was there and Spidey met Stan Lee. All that. However, I also remember like the Dr. Doom stuff and the Fantastic Four were there. Was that all one massive crossover event?

The Secret Wars story had Spider-man choose a bunch of allies to fight a group of villains who were chosen by Beyonder and let loose upon a completely peaceful planet. Then he fast-forwarded time one year and they had turned the planet into a Mad Max hellhole and carved out fiefdoms. Spider-man called in the FF to deal with Doom, Captain America to deal with Red Skull, Iron Man because he has lasers, Black Cat because he figured he might as well get some while he was stuck on this planet, and then he realized he had one spot left so he picked an X-man at random and landed on Storm. Once Secret Wars wrapped up and Spider-man successfully defeated Spider-Carnage, he got to meet Stan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N9TIvIEnpA As cheesy as this is, I often think about what Spidey says about how even fictional characters have to grow up sometime.

It gets old really quickly, especially with the re-used animation (particularly web swinging) and Spidey constantly getting baled out by guest stars. And how far they go out of their way to make sure Spider-Man never punches anyone.
