As of season 4 Ultimate Spider-man is now a fairly okay action comedy cartoon, rather than family guy gags with a little action, wouldn't call it great but it's neat, specially compared to Avengers Assemble which regardless of what storylines it brings, be it Thunderbolts or Infinity, always manages to be aggressively mediocre. If you want your Spider-man & Miles and Agent Venom and Scarlet Spider and Amadeus Cho fix there's worse ways to spend twenty minutes. Also yeah, TTG is a lot of fun, in a couple of weeks they're doing a whole week of Gilligan's Island.

I like TTGo's take on Batromance, it seems like he simply got together with Jim Gordon and started fighting crime less after what happened with Jason Todd. Makes sense, he keeps having control issues in everything so getting together with someone he values as an equal, or maybe even superior, and letting other heroes take care of more things so he has time with his SO lets him finally enjoy life and take care of his mental health.

Looked it up and saw a gif with the Hulk and... The Thing?! Are they actually letting the Fantastic Four appear on tv? Also saw a preview of next week's with Ms Marvel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubKSV_5zVfQ It's amazing how flat and boring Kamala of all people ends up, this show just sucks fun out of its ideas.

And this was said at launch, trying so hard to wring out some cash from gullible kids. Did the game actually tell the story or whatever? I've never seen a human speak about it beyond "wow this is a bad dumb diablo clone sorta, with sub-PS2 problems"

Makes me wonder, when was the 11-minute format first invented? Stuff from Nick's launch in '91 was in that format, like Rugrats, and they continues to pump out a lot, I want to say that's when the format caught on and the then current and upcoming animation channels started ordering stuff in that format.

Specifically, Ultimate Spider-man will be done in early January with a two parter called "Graduation Day" and then (probably on August or something after the movie comes out) we get Spider-man with Kevin Shinick as story editor. Cautiously optimistic. Also USM did a round 2 at Spider-verse and that was fun, did a re-imagining of Spider-Gwen where she's from Miles' universe since he spent most of the season with Peter.

I really wonder if this is going to be like the "start" of a new animated universe like Ultimate was or if it'll be its own thing or if the Avengers Assemble are just going to pretend they have never, ever met Spider-man before in their lives. The current animated universe is simply bad, there's nothing that makes it unique and their unified art style is trash, so I kinda hope this breaks from it and, just, something good comes out. I wanna see a Spider-man cartoon and fully enjoy it instead of going "well, that was neat, it was an acceptable action cartoon I cannot really talk about much online because who the gently caress else is going to give it a shot after two seasons of trash and one of being kinda okay in some episodes" I'm guessing Man of Action won't be involved since they're handling the new Ben 10 cartoon. Also Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell is a thing. Magic adventure with Doctor Strange, Hulk and Banner are separated and all that. CBR posted:Dan Slott, who is working on the series, was then brought up on stage. Lane and Wacker said the show will “pull a lot from Dan’s run” on Spider-Man.

ToastyPotato posted:SMASH ended too right? The only hold overs to the old animated universe at this point would be GotG and Avengers, which I can see ending before Infinity War hits theaters. GotG is the only real problem, unless I am mistaken and it isn't part of the grouped shows. They just announced season 4 and 2 of those (AA: Secret Wars) and apparently the Captain Marvel of AA (her hair is so HIDEOUS) shows up in season 2 of GotG, so that's connected.

ToastyPotato posted:Maybe Secret Wars will be used as a way to transition into a new animated universe. But I am likely giving them way too much credit. AA manages to be the blandest, nothing-est cartoon on their stable, to the point where Ms. Marvel showed up on screen heavily for a whole episode and it was still a yawn-fest, I don't doubt for a second that whatever happens won't be as interesting as it could be on paper. They definitely don't got the rights, they would've done something with the Eight episodes dedicated to Spider-verse in USM if they wanted to.  (at least Spider-Punk got a speaking role for that)They're releasing the clips from the panel on their youtube, so i'm hammering F5 to see the new spidey cartoon, here's where monsters lie tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1pLFw2vi5E ..wow that hulk stuff was not as interesting looking as i hoped.

I basically don't like his Peter, his big storylines never stick the landing and i dislike how he baits fans in social media, but eh, he's not even close to the worst spidey writer and his current output is apparently really great so whatever. Looks like no teaser on their youtube, now that I think about it, I was at a comic con some long time before Ultimate Spider-man started airing and it was pretty different (such as actual Ultimate Iron Man showing up and the colors being way higher in contrast) so it's probably a similar scenario where the footage shown is not yet final.

I bet Slott's involvement will be as deep as Bendis' was. Some "consulting" here and there that doesn't have too much weight and a couple of episodes being guest written by him. Bendis wrote six episodes total apparently, one based on the Wolverine mindswap storyline from the comics, some random episodes that aren't that interesting and two featuring the Guardians of the Galaxy before the movie came out and they were changed entirely.

They aired in the UK and imo the pacing is pretty terrible. First one is the speed of a 22 min show crammed down to 11 and the third one lingers in its last act by staying in one scene for five and a half minutes, aka half the runtime. I felt really disappointed. Space Cabby was alright.

So, Ultimate Spider-man just has a two-parter left to finish its run. However, there's also the final Christmas special from that show, guess who'll make their animated debut in the episode called The Moon Knight Before Christmas.

Android Blues posted:It's not really comparable. You might dislike those characters, but there's something to them. Miss Martian has a really elaborate story, personality, character beats, plot relevance, etc. That can land for you or not, but it's inarguably there. Lagoon Boy is just there, on the screen, repeating the same bit of shtick over and over again. TFRazorsaw posted:The "Hello Megan" thing was part of how M'gann had basically created a new identity that was artificial, it wasn't done for the sake of just "doing it". Likewise, they showed Lagoon Boy was insecure about who he was and overcompensated by being loud, on top of his anxiety about his relationship with her. Exactly. M'gann has more going for her, but it's the exact same thing as Lagoon Boy. It doesn't land on me so I just see her as annoying and wish the show didn't focus so much on her and her crimes against humanity. She's nuanced and very elaborated, but also insufferable and dull. On brighter news, episode 4 of JLA had the most boring climax that could ever be achieved in a team-up of Swamp Thing, zombie batman and zatanna but episodes 5 (Joker's kidnapped by Morlun or whatever) and 6 (Blue Beetle and Batman go to Batman TAS/Year 1 to beat up Chronos) were Good Enough and really fun to watch.

ToastyPotato posted:They could have told that exact same story for Megan without overusing an annoying catchphrase, mostly because just about every writer in history who has followed that trope has done it. M'gann isn't the first character in fictional history to be a fish out of water needing to create a new identity to blend in with society. Hello Megan was a bad catchphrase in a show that had too many bad catchphrases. I really enjoyed the show, both seasons, but the catchphrases are my biggest gripe besides the time skip. The writers had a weird and wrong fixation with catchphrases and I hope to god they put that poo poo to rest for season 3. "Yowza, yowza, bo-bowza!" "Why do you say that, Todd?" "Joker kept saying that repeating sounds doesn't make a punchline while he kept beating me with the crowbar, at that moment I told myself: i'll defy everything he does, everything, even his attempt at killing me. And I did, and will continue to do. Yowza, yowza, bo-bowza."

Although I might be wrong since there's only six episodes so far and what lies ahead might be different. 2, 5 and 6 are fun and enjoyable to watch. 1 is poo poo, 3 is pretty bad and 4 has the most boring ending imaginable.

Ultimate Spider-man ended today. All in all, the second half of the show became decent to good. The ending wasn't really too amazing, but it hit some nice notes and was conclusive as hell, which I think is a first in Spider-man animated history. Tackling huger villains and stuff from much later in Spidey's life was interesting, but I'm ready to go back to a more street-level kinda adventures to start with.

This one time, inside of Fisk's huge office, the Kingpin punched Spider-man into that crate room, with Ock's huge evil machine glowing in the background. I'd say the 90s one had it best compared to others, but there were plans for actually getting MJ and it still ends with Peter never actually reuniting with MJ, who at that point had missed over half the show. Was it the original MJ or the Hydro Man/Warren Clone who had accidentally been put in the Baron Mordo Cult when trying to find her dad?
