It feels incredibly disjointed and i'd be curious if you haven't read the book first if it would be coherent at all Saw the movie almost a decade before I ever got around to reading the comic, and while the comic is overall superior the cartoon version is still pretty good, not to mention does at least one thing superior to the comic, having Batman be involved in the battle against The Centre

I remember it being decent. The second part of the Death of Superman thing is coming out, The Reign of the Supermen. It looks to be decently animated but its from such a schlocky storyline.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwDIZT3XbjQ I will now take a guess at the plot: "The OG Teen Titans meet the TTG team and think they're total losers who don't take anything seriously. The TTG team proceeds to show them they're actually totally awesome and get the old Titans to admit they're totally cool." it will be totally different from the other half dozen times they've done a variation on this story, including the movie they just made.

For as much as the TTG people claim not to care what older fans think (and they shouldn't, TTG is a different animal), they sure do come off defensive sometimes.

My favourite episode of original Teen Titans was either the one where the evil stage magician turned them all into animals or the one where the Mad Mod turns their city into a pop art Beatlemania world.

I'm pretty sure the TTG people actually like the original Teen Titans and are just needling at the fans who think their new, pretty good, show is a sin upon God's earth for not being the same as the old show. Like, they have obvious affection for the stuff they're riffing on.

No, they don’t share any significant creative staff beyond the voice actors.

I like people forget they had actual changes in theme song to signal 'this episode is going to be wacky.'

IIRC episodes with the English OP were serious, and ones with the Japanese were goofy, right?

So fun fact: Teen Titans Go! To The Movies and Into The Spiderverse are both on the long list for Animated Best Picture. https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/1055128313205731328 I really hope they both get nominated.

Spider-verse needs to get some acknowledgment for at least the impressive integration of Comic Book and Animated Movie stylization.

This is a minor thing and I'm sure I'll get over it, but from the trailers for Spider-verse, I don't care for Peter's voice. It's a little too TJ-Miller-y (I know he's not the VA); just not how I expect him to sound. There's my random gripe for a movie which I will see regardless.

My only problem with Peter's voice, and it's not really, is I keep trying to mentally match it up with his voice from the game and there Yuri Lowenthal knocked it out of the park. It'll be fine.

Waiting for them to do the same thing they did with TWD and just "fix" everything Kirkman didn't like. Which doesn't get my hopes up, because I could not stand TWD after 3 episodes.

I just don't understand how people are still trying to adapt that comic. Like, for the first 6 issues it seemed like it was Spider-man for the new generation, and everyone wanted a piece of it, then a planetary genocide happened with guts flying everywhere, and it only got more unmarketable from there.

Invincible was fine after that event. The real problem is that it went on for way too long, so it got really stupid and bad. It can probably be good for 2 seasons, and maybe even 3.

I think we're at a place in pop culture where it wouldn't be a huge issue. They could just tone down the violence a bit. A ton of anime marketed as Netflix Originals has horrific violence along with fun shennanigans.

And actually having crazy violence in the original allows it to not look like hamfisted "grittiness" to make it more "mature".

Yeah, I guess the pop culture landscape has changed quite a bit since the comic originally came out, got all those people sniffing around for licensing, then scared everyone off once they realized what the comic was actually about.

I think its more to do with the fact that content producers still see non-comedy animation as strictly for kids in the west. Thankfully, it seems like this is very slowly no longer being the case.

I didn’t diagnose you with anything, you seemed to want a Peter Parker type poo poo and can’t let go that it wasn’t that. Which is literally what you said. But be pissy if it makes you feel better.

Thankfully, it seems like this is very slowly no longer being the case. People that grew up with Anime like Gundam Wing and DBZ, and cartoons like BTAS and Samurai Jack are now in their late twenties or thirties, so we have an entire generation that now sees animation as something that can tell meaningful stories.
