He-man is deep in the 80s, everyone who'd remember him would be far too old to watch cartoons by then. It wasn't a bad show, but big muscly men fighting skeletons wasn't nearly as trendy as 10 year olds with insane hair playing dumb card games.

I loved the 00 era He-Man because that version of Skeletor was just a humongous dick. Also, unlike the 80s cartoon the design for He Man and Prince Adam were different so He Man wasn't just Adam without a shirt.

Dana Snyder as Penguin is pretty solid casting, both animated and in live action. Also goldenoreos posted:Batman fighting against an army of robot animals with his superhero pals is a concept too good for this Batman Unlimited franchise. Basically yeah. You can have a whole series about an army of robot animals vs Batman and his Amazing Friends, and it'd sell.

I just accidentally stumbled upon this thread because I saw the Phantom 2040 name in the title, and man was that a weird but awesome show. It made the live-action movie all the more disappointing because it was based on the OLD Phantom. If you liked the show, you should track down the SNES game. It's one of my favorite SNES games and boy howdy was it ambitious for an SNES game, I feel like it had an equal amount of divergent endings as Chrono Trigger had. Depending on what choices you made, you were locked out of equipment/zones/storylines and could very well make a beeline straight for a bad ending. It had a ridiculously robust inventory of different weapons and equipment, and some pretty great huge boss battles. The ninja rope thing you have lets you get all over the place in the levels, too. The wierdest part about it was the password system which has like 80 components, but I think that's due to the amount of possible path variations.

You know, I vaguely remembered that such a game existed, but you are the first person I have ever seen actually describe it and now I am wondering how more people haven't spoken about the game in general. I mean even bad games get talked about tons. Did people really not like the Phantom that much?

If you are one of the people who actually do like the Phantom, you should check out Defenders of the Earth, It has the Phantom, Mandrake the Magican and his former sidekick Lothar and Flash Gorden fighting Ming the Merciless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nm_jJBkHtU

Green Lantern ends with Razer flying away in hope that he'll find Aya still alive out in the universe somewhere, and then a blue ring flies into view and follows him.

It started off slow as molasses but once they fleshed out the mythos of the MotU universe it got infinitely better.

The lyrics were apparently written by Stan Lee, and while that doesn't need t mean much, you can really hear it. Also, apparently it takes place in 2015. In any case, all of the King Features Syndicate character as are rad as hell. Especially the Phantom and Mandrake, who are kind of unique as superheroes go. I do however remember watching a Flash Gordon cartoon growing up, I want to say it was probably by Filmation if I remember the art style correctly, and I absolutely loved it. I generally have a weakness for settings that blend sci-fi and fantasy and have tons of different weird poo poo interacting with each other. It's the sole reason I really dig He-Man too.

Yvonmukluk posted:I was this close to buying a box set of the complete Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Would I be correct in assuming If I do this it will be a Good Thing? The first season is a pretty good assortment of Avengers stories, characters, and obvious world building (though this takes place in the same canon as the Wolverine and the X-Men TV series which was canceled by the time EMH went on the air and the Hulk VS Wolverine short movie). The plots are mostly resolved with a view tidbits that carry over into season 2. Season 2 suffers from two things. One is that the show is going to get canceled. There was some ridiculous long delay between Season 1 and 2 and this seems to happen often with Marvel's cartoons. There's always some behind-closed-door bullshit that occurs that causes a huge delay in airing completely produced and finished episodes. And then they get aired and then leak online because they air in New Zeland or whatever and then Marvel is SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tellya, when the ratings suck because so many people have already seen this poo poo on youtube. So there are sub-plots that were started in season 2 that are either kind of half assed and resolved or quickly forgotten about. Probably the most notable one is the Thor and Gamora sub-plot. There's also a very distinct shift in tone halfway through season two. Apparently Jeph Loeb loving hates the phrase "Previously on [cartoon]" because he thinks kids are dumb as rocks and can't loving remember poo poo so he just wanted every single loving episode to be done-in-one. This actually causes some plots to go on for several episodes, such as Vision's plot that probably could've been done in a two parter but ended up taking like 1/3rd of 3 episode because everything has to be done-in-one. And then you get these done-in-one plots like Hank Pym's transition into Yellowjacket which is wrapped up way too quickly with a nice little bow on it and it is just unfulfilling. Also Loeb also has a complete hard on for Movie Synchronization so everyone adopts their Movie Outfits. Even though this series already had a Black Nick Fury, he becomes much more Samuel L Jackson like in Season Also, the finale really does kinda suck. Season 1 is all kinds of awesome. Season 2 starts out good but they did the best with what they had.

EMH has Kang which is awesome, and Femshep is Ms Marvel, which is kinda perfect. Though why the guy who played Stark thought that Jack Black would be the voice for him, I do not know.

Jennifer Hale was nice as Black Cat in Spider-Man TAS.  Though, this may be nostalgia talking.Also compare EMH to the crap Avengers Assemble and you'll quickly forgive the crappy parts of EMH. Avengers Assemble is basically made to milk money off of the movie and make everyone band as poo poo and forgettable.

I just like how you could tell AA was an attempt to milk off of the films, but ended up being as completely off model from the movies as EMH. Well nearly. I mean Falcon is a key character in the show and within a season he was completely inaccurate to the films. Woops? Not to mention that Hulk's portrayal is just a more kiddy version of EMH Hulk, and nothing like movie Hulk at all. Thor is also a lot like EMH Thor, just more kiddy.

I'm sure Hulk in AA was done so children could "relate" to him or something considering he's pretty much what an elementary school kid would think Hulk would be like. His catchphrase is "HULK STRONGEST THERE IS!!!!" for God's sake... At leas Jeph Loeb doesn't get to touch the movies....right..?
