Casablanca has great dialogue too, like pretty much every scene with Rick and Renault is super witty.

Batman Beyond was actually one of the ideas that the suits forced the DCAU crew to make and its testament to their skills that they actually made something genuinely good out of it.

GrandpaPants posted:The answer to the questions "What is the best episode of Batman TAS?" and "What is the best episode of Batman Beyond?" is the same: The one that introduced Mr. Freeze. What happened to Talia al Ghul in Beyond was also really screwed up for a Saturday morning cartoon. Ra's killed her, his own daughter, and stole her body.

What are you talking about, Clock King was rad in a bit of a campy sort of way. They even brought him back in Justice League as part of their version of Suicide Squad.

umalt posted:Fake Edit: Been re-watching Venture Bros due to the new season; and on a whole the show has aged great and the earlier seasons are still just as exciting due to the call-backs that are woven into the later seasons. But like a lot of mid-2000's humor there are a few bits of writing that are cringe-inducing, like the number of gags/plot-points where characters being trans is the punchline.

Dr Christmas posted:Speaking of YA takes that did NOT age poorly, I got pretty far into Animorphs but never finished, but I heard at least one of the main cast dies near the end and many of them end up with PTSD. The series ended before 9/11, but when the author got flak for the downer ending, she responded by talking about how your generation is going to have to deal with that soon, and hoo boy. Animorphs got pretty hosed up for a 90's kids book series.

The show strongly hinted that Dee Dee messed with Dexter because she wanted him to get him out of his labyrinthine and lonely lab so he can interact with people. The show was less anti-intellectual and more about not being an anti-social shut-in.

Moral Orel starts off as something a 2000's era edgy Internet atheist would poo poo out but then it just changes on a dime to a genuinely great exploration of the hypocrisy and destructiveness of American Christian fundamentalism ending with the exact opposite message the show started off with.

Movie John Hammond is a more interesting character too because while he's mainly a kindly old grandpa with a child-like sense of wonder in bringing dinosaurs back to life he still has an unscrupulous side to him where he's willing to cut corners to achieve his ambition which is one of the major reasons why everything goes to poo poo so quickly. In the book he's just a straight up rear end in a top hat with no absolutely redeeming qualities.

The thing with Punisher is he only really works in a world without superheroes, i.e. Punisher MAX. Putting him in with superheroes just tends to have him fall into the hole of the writers making him badass where he can go toe to toe with Spider-Man or something like that which turns him into a lovely power fantasy when he shouldn't be. Frank only really works as a monster that can't stop killing so he goes after criminals because that's more sociably acceptable than being a spree shooter. Again, Ennis' Punisher MAX did a quality job at this.

South Park is the epitome of the 90's societal tendency of thinking "inequality is over, so stop whining that it actually isn't." There are definitely still some great episodes as stated but a good chunk of it has aged abysmally.
