All I hear online about Teen Titans Go is people complaining on Tumblr about how it isn't as deep as the Titans they grew up with, but usually whenever I see it it is something hilarious like that Sailor Moon sequence so I think those people just don't like fun.

Yeah, I only end up watching it while in Dad mode, as my own father has cable and it's my son's favorite show, but yeah while the original TT cartoon was decent for what it was, I can't help but love TTG in spite of the lolrandommonkeycheese style humor. There's also absolutely TONS of background jokes if you're paying attention. There was an episode where the titans go to the batcave and start messing around while batman's out of town, and there's a quick shot of a wall FULL of souvenirs and all are in jokes--the worst being "Joker's Crowbar". Also, the show has taken the piss out of the people whining that they prefer the old show a few times. Including this happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iQ_SuDLJvI

I completely acknowledge that TTG is a really fun show, and most of the complainers are just mad it's not aimed at them solely. But it's amusing that people who like the show act like they have the high ground when they do the exact same thing with stuff like that damning with faint praise of the original show. They're both good, but they're doing different things, and that's OK. You don't have to pick a side.

Gaz-L posted:But it's amusing that people who like the show act like they have the high ground. Yeah. It is pretty funny how not liking a comedy show means that you are thus anti-fun. I love the poo poo out of TTG but I'd like to see a halfway serious Titans cartoon again, and not something dour and pompous like Young Justice. The old Titans cartoon was a sweet spot between DCAU and the sugar-high fun of Teen Titans: GO, and the comics have been almost aggressively terrible for a decade plus now. I don't blame old fans for wanting something with pathos. That said of course, TTG is loving awesome and there are way worse things than getting a fun and irrevent comedy cartoon.

Including this happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iQ_SuDLJvI This is waaaaaaaayyyyyy more of a general piss-take on half of what DC has produced in the last 15 years than a specific "gently caress off" to people who preferred the old cartoon.

Isn't Robin's line there a direct grab from the old show, though? Just with Menville hamming it up?

It's not like the people who dislike the show are largely indifferent or say things like "This show just isn't the same as the original, it's not for me." They are furious that it exists and feel that it "ruins" the original series. They are legitimately being huge babies about a show for kids being different than another show for kids.

Oh yeah, those. Those people are a few doxes away from being Chris-chan to begin with, and anything that isn't a way to directly recreate their childhood experiences is going to upset them which is literally everything because nostalgia is a toxic brain infection.

So I want to share some work of someone who's quickly becoming one of my favorite artists currently working with DC, Denis Medri He's currently working on Red Hood/Arsenal and before that he did the art for the Lady Spider Story on Edge of the Spider-verse  Which in turn, was based on his "Steampunk Spiderman" series of fanart  In fact, he gained certain degree of internet fame due his Rockabilly Batman and Justice League western fanarts I actually knew of his work for these fanarts so it was a pleasant surprise to know he would be working on RH/A. His style is somewhat cartoony but this allows it to be pretty expressive and he puts a lot of detail on the backgrounds.  I dunno if is due him almost always using regular wood colors and colored pages for his stuff  But his works tends to look better only on inks, take this page from RH/A sneak peek   The inked one looks more dynamic and even gives a sense of movement while the colored one feels flat and lifeless. Tanya Horie has gotten better though, and issue 3 looks amazing. He also like to try new things and his most recent experiment is something he called Draw me a song quote:"Draw Me a Song" born from my idea to put together music and drawings in a live drawing performance, accompained by a monographic dj set Aside of RH/A, he has collaborated with various publishers in Europe, Dark Horse, Zenescope and most recently IDW and Lion Forge as the artist for the graphic novel, "Andre the Giant: closer to Heaven"

I can definitely see it in the faces, not so much in the bodies, though. Nowhere near distorted enough.

Or possibly Chris Bachalo. I think Bachalo is a more accurate comparison, Ramos' work is so stilized that is on a tier on its own. Interestingly enough, a few days ago Medri posted a note on his blog saying that RH/A 's first issue was a rushed job(he hasn't get used to the way superhero comics are handled) and thus how he wasn't pleased with it, I haven't seen a lot of artist being so frank regarding their work.

Jill Thompson's Scary Godmother comics have fantastic art.   Unfortunately, they took that and turned it into this for TV:  I like the animation too though.

This isn't new to a lot of people, but I wanted to thank Howard Chaykin for wiping his rear end over another comic I was thoroughly enjoying up until then. I'm halfway through Immortal Iron Fist vol. 2 and BAM scratchy giant jaws and bright white clenched teeth everywhere I look on males and females alike. Thank god for Dan Brereton whose art duties for the other half of the annual was a delight as always and saved the issue from being a total disaster.  You shouldn't allow the reader to go from Aja to that. redbackground fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Sep 15, 2015 |

Chaykin seems like a guy whose stuff really doesn't work with modern coloring styles at all. This is because modern comic coloring styles are, for the most part, absolute poo poo.

Really, if you're doing Wolverine, why give a poo poo? It's not like it's not going to sell, and that effort can go to projects you actually own.

Howard Chaykin is a goddamn legend. The hell you should trash talk Howard Chaykin. He might not be as together as he used to be but dude is 64. He has produced some amazing goddamn comic books and he is allowed to not be perfect now that he is a senior citizen. He has earned that much. You all need to respect Howard Chaykin and his accomplishments.

I chatted with Chaykin for about 10 minutes at a MegaCon back in 2006, and the guy was fascinating. A true raconteur, obviously super-smart, and a hilarious curmudgeon in the way only altacockers can be. He drew me a beautiful head sketch of a standard Chaykin hot blonde woman. I know his art isn't what it used to be, but I think he deserves a lifetime pass for American Flagg! alone. It's amazing how ahead of its time that book was, in terms of writing AND art. I also loved his art on The Shadow and Blackhawk back in the late '80s, and his Vertigo series American Century (which he co-wrote but didn't draw) was great pulpy fun. I absolutely despised his Twilight (sort of a twisted, dark, revisionist, mature-readers take on DC's space heroes of the '50s and '60s), but he only wrote it, and Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez drew that one. But you can't win 'em all.
