Kids will find it any time it airs yes. Placing it at a special time on two networks will tell you if there's any greater interest outside of the demo that's already going to be plopped in front of the TV watching it anyway. It's actually a smart move from a programming standpoint.

Let's be real, the kids are going to watch it on the App whenever they drat well please, and won't even know it's on basic cable. I liked Vayntrub's line read of eat nuts, kick butts.

It's actually a smart move from a programming standpoint. Also keep in mind DVRs and then immediately after it's probably going to be on demand so the time of the premiere is almost completely moot. 75% of what my kid watches on TV is because its on my on-demand lineup. I don't think we've watched a show live in a few years.

ill grant that people will be watching through other venues, i was thinking about youtube and other apps for the outside demos, but i just cant square the logic of putting a premiere of a movie at 10pm. is there really an expectation that outside demos are gonna watch a marvel cartoon at 10pm on a sunday? if you dont care whats airing why not just put it in a timeslot where kids might see it incidentally if youre already depending on other demos to see it through other means. like, looking at the schedule sunday evenings are reruns of gravity falls, guardians, ducktales and star wars rebels. they think that its gonna do worse viewership wise than reruns? thats kinda scary site fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Sep 12, 2018 |

Android Blues posted:Yeah, Hush was a child sociopath who intentionally sabotaged the brake lines on his parents' car for their inheritance, but after Thomas Wayne saved his mother's life in surgery, he swore revenge on the Waynes and was irrationally jealous of Bruce that he got to have dead parents and the big inheritance while Hush was stuck caring for his now bedridden mother. Also his dad was abusive and his mom enabled the abuse, so he was super resentful of them. Eventually, despite him having spent years caring for her, his mother removes him from her inheritance and he smothers her with a pillow in a fit of rage before she can talk to her lawyer. Black Mask's backstory is similar. But not the same true. Young Roman had really abusive parents utterly obsessed with status and their appearance. For example dropping Roman on his head as a baby and bribing the doctors never to tell a soul about it, witnessing Roman getting attacked by a rabid raccoon and not even bringing him to a hospital or getting him medical attention cause doing so could make them look bad. They also hated the Waynes, but publicly made friends and pretended to love them, to sell the image they forced young Roman to befriend Bruce. Roman hated doing this both for being forced to, and the fact that the Wayne family was much happier then his. Which started his hate of Bruce. (He also stated his despised the "Masks" his parents wore in public.) When Bruce's parents died Roman felt nothing but envy towards him for getting to live the high life without his parents restricting him. Eventually he grew up. Became an executive in his father's cosmetic company (out of nepotism) and found love with a woman named Circe. However his parents refused to tolerate him having a relationship with someone in the working class, and ordered him to break it off. Instead he ran outside and set the house on fire in a rage. Finally freeing himself of his parents. Sadly for Roman who inherited the company he was terrible at it, and made bad decisions that nearly ruined it. The Last straw was at the end of his rope he forced his chemists and employees to send an untested product into circulation. Which disfigured a few hundred women. This ruined the company and caused Circe to break up with him. Bruce now heading his own company, decided to bail an old friend out. But Roman would have to give up total control and allow Bruce to pick a board of directors. All of that humiliated Roman, particularly someone he had known and disliked since childhood, bailing him out. He had pretty much always disliked Bruce for being better then him, being freed from his parents earlier, having a successful business while Roman was a failure. He decided to rant about this to his parents crypt and got struck by lightning instead, which also destroyed the door to the Crypt. Heralding it as a chance at rebirth. Roman went down to his father's Ebony Coffin and smashed it with a rock, and carved his original mask out of it, taking on the criminal identity Black Mask. And it turned out that he was way way better at being a Crime boss then a business man. He maintained the grudge against Bruce for a while in the comics, but it lost focus eventually.

Because of the way the consumer views these kinds of shows in 2018 one way you can gauge a reaction of people who are really invested is by doing exactly what they're doing. You know who's going to tune in at the time and watch? The people that are already most invested and excited for the show. The demo that's going to watch live on TV and sit through the commercials. They'll find out who and what that demo even is by airing it then and seeing who stays through the whole show. Your TV Y7 audience, or whatever demo, on Saturday morning though is going to be there regardless. Putting the premiere in a place like this just gives them extra data to know who is interested.

TwoPair posted:I wouldn't say "ugly" so much as "bland" It's very...stiff. No squash and stretch, no exaggeration of physical form. In fact, it looks like they either worked out some very believable cel-shading, or they're just tracing over CGI. Especially since it's so cavalier with shifting camera angles and there's no variable line thickness.

I mean, i guess? I dunno i just dont really buy that theres gonna be a meaningful amount of people tuning into a 10pm sunday broadcast live for that kind of data to look for stats of types of demos watching, esp since so many people outside the children's demo use other means of watching tv, but i could very well be wrong

Spider-man and this have new and different art styles from the previous marvel shows and from each other. I think the movie's looking good, and the initiation thing was pretty solid, so i'll check it out.

ToastyPotato posted:It literally had an ongoing plot though, didn't it? With the Skrulls? Loeb came in later in season 2 and changed stuff up. No more two-parters, everything had to be resolved in a single episode. Couldn't be confusing the kids with complex plots, so let's just do basic stuff with a moral at the end. Need to introduce characters who only exist for a single episode and never show up again. Red Hulk! Falcon! For some reason this won't be confusing for kids aaaaaaaaaand the show's cancelled. Had to make way for Avengers Assemble, which is more in line with the movie continuity, because kids suddenly care about continuity now. That's why the show opens up with the Avengers disbanded and then fighting against MODOK.

because they weren't animated that way    Here is both of them compared to the more recent Death of Superman and Young Justice. They're the same. The original airings and DVD releases and even the amazon video releases of both shows were in SD format and squared off. Kids WB and Cartoon Network did this to a lot of their shows.

I thought it was a great, underrated gem. It tells solid stories without talking down to its audience and has a great take on exploring two different varieties of the “Superman who’s a fish out of water” thing. And it has one of the best animated takes on Brainiac of any DC I’ve seen. Unfortunately I remember a lot of people writing it off because that incorrectly assumed it was meant to be a follow up to JLU’s (terrible) Legion episode, and that they unfairly changed it in development. That happened a lot really, DCAU fans getting angry about cartoons being made that had nothing to do with the DCAU.

It was a really goofy show, sometimes to it's detriment, but it pulled some surprisingly deep cuts in terms of references Shame they killed off Reptil in the main continuity though
