There's no rule that says both can't be bad at the same time.

I was under the impression that he had experienced some kind of personality-altering psychotic break.

Young Justice had great animation. The plotting and characters left me completely (under)whelmed though. I never even bothered finishing the second season.

There's this scene in Young Justice of the JLA sitting around a table talking about all the teenage heroes and it's the dullest, most lifeless scene I've seen in any superhero cartoon.

I've actually laughed at TT:Go a few times which is more than I can say for a lot of TV comedy shows. It doesn't take itself seriously at all, and I like that they even made fun of the fact that people were mad that it wasn't more serious.

Last week's episode made fun of the TV concept of the "bottle" episode by making a literal bottle episode. Everyone got stuck in a giant bottle where they constantly reminisced about previous adventures because going on a new adventure was too expensive this week.

YESSSH that art looks bad on that trailer. I expected more of the same boring coloring direction taken from the recolored version of the story, but I hoped they would clean up the look of it from that brief promo they did. What an embarrassing version of something from "The Original Writer".

Which is never gonna happen now because they're going to keep putting out their terrible garbage shows forever, or at least until they stop selling toys and t-shirts. I still have no idea how Marvel can be owned by Disney yet the animation on every cartoon they have is just so loving bland and stilted.

Ultimate Spider-Man seems to look really good (that's Marvel and not Sony, right?)

It's a shame the rest of the show seems really bad, though

The animation just looks so stiff.

I'm also re-watching BTAS and in like the sixth or seventh episode, Billionaire Playboy Bruce Wayne is using some cheap rear end disposable razor to shave.

Also, I never realized Alfred's voice actor changed after the first three episodes.

If I recall correctly, Marvel obtained the television rights to Spider-Man a few years back. This, in conjunction with some network shenanigans, led to the early demise of Spectacular Spider-Man. But yes USM is part of Marvel's TV division.

Spectacular's death was unrelated to that.

I pretty sure it was related to that. All the network and rights issues.

It appears Spectacular died because Sony sold the TV rights to Spiderman to Marvel but not the rights to Spectacular Spiderman the tv show.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
IIRC the selling of tv rights happened during a time in which Sony could've renewed the show, but it was already seeming unlikely as hell since they hadn't ordered anything outside of the original order of 26 half hours and it did some channel hopping after the first half of the order.

Cartoon batman technology is weird. They have some modern stuff that looks like it came off the cover illustrations of Weird Tales or Amazing Stories but are mostly in some kind of vague 1940s. It's that or Alfred uses a straight razor, probably.

Especially in the early episodes a lot of the technology seems like something you'd read about in a "near future" SciFi book published fifty years ago.

Edit: one of my favorite bits of "the actual future always ends up weirder than SciFi writers can predict" bits of trivia is how gigantic and useless the cellphones in Batman Beyond are compared to the two year old phone I'm writing this post on at this very moment.

Yeah, it's vaguely tempting to just rip the audio, get a superior high res scan of the comic and make my own motion comic.

At this point it is more entertaining to just wonder what is going on behind the scenes at Warner Bros. for them to give so little of a poo poo about ALL of their DC properties, film, TV, and animated. Disney is printing money with Marvel poo poo, and WB can't seem to be bothered to put a modicum of effort into any DC project they make at this point.

I think its less not giving a poo poo, and more that WB's upper management are only capable of thinking in terms of formulas, and profit margins. They think they can just copy what Marvel is doing, without caring about the quality of their products and people will automatically flock to a movie because its includes <insert element>. The way WB has been handling PC ports shows they don't give a gently caress about customer satisfaction, and are only looking for quick and easy money.
