The characters seem fun and Clark literally has a magical girl transformation, off to a good start so far

It is interesting that they seem to be adding a fair bit of Electric Blue Superman into the concept.

This is the same studio that did Korra, isn't it? Show is cute, but you can tell where they cut corners in the animation. Also somewhat disappointed that the origin for Livewire doesn't include her being a shock jock anymore.

Is that even topical anymore? Like Howard Stern is still around but he's nowhere near as big a deal.

AlternateNu posted:This is the same studio that did Korra, isn't it? Yes, Studio Mir! After the horrible and honestly completely excessive overwork they experienced during making Korra, they actually have policies in place to prevent that sort of thing. This means more limited animation and more CGI, etc. This is also why Voltron wasn't as pretty and smooth as Korra was. The animation does its job, and if slightly worse animation means better working conditions for the animators, that's fine by me.

I really wanted to like Voltron. My big complaint is that it didn't feel like it had a good musical theme. I don't think they could've used the original one but the lack of anything resembling a good motif bugged me.

I don't think it's Studio MIR? Credits only say Warner Brothers Animation, and Studio MIR itself doesn't mention it on their portfolio (most recent thing on their sites is star wars vision season 2) or on their twitter. Show's great, tho. I like this really clear vision of Superman trying to learn who he is in an abstract, and also literal with the alien stuff, level. I feel like this will shape Deathstroke as profoundly as the Teen Titans cartoon did

I'm gonna say it, Livewire in TAS is only memorable or notable because of her voice-actress. I never saw Tank Girl, I hear it's terrible, but that lady had an incredible voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZAiyQDYQUE I hope new Livewire has a comparably great voice.

I swear to god, if I managed to get home in time to see an episode of Superman, it was 75% of the time the Livewire episode and 25% the Mr. Mxyzpltk one. If I got home to catch the end, it was the Darkseid one where he kills Turpin at the end.

Tank Girl is great but also shouldn't be the only thing Lori Petty is remembered for, she's a national treasure. She's in Point Break for gently caress's sake.

The second of each are pseudo team ups, co-starring Parasite and Bizarro respectively.

Livewire was the most successful invention of the Superman animated series, but I think the series in general was a lot less influential than Batman Animated. It didn't really create the definitive versions of characters in the same way.

Actually I forget, aside from Livewire did STAS really have any other lasting effect on the main DC universe (since much like Harley Quinn the former was eventually added to the comics/other media and became an at least somewhat reoccurring member of Superman’s rogues gallery)? Edit: Oh yeah, it introduced Mercy Graves too Larryb fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Jul 8, 2023 |

Speaking of, it is kind of interesting/refreshing that the show doesn’t even bother going into the origin story (or at least, not fully) and instead just more or less gets right into the thick of it. Also not only do Lois and Jimmy look like adult versions of Luz and Gus from The Owl House but they sort of act like them as well (I would not be surprised if Clark’s identity gets revealed to them sooner rather than later), though the former has some shades of SPoP Adora as well Larryb fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Jul 8, 2023 |

A very minor detail is that Lois Lane's character design in STAS gave her purple eyes, a feature that carried over to the comics and sticks to this day.

It has my favorite version of Metallo as well, with the torn up human face. Every time he's shown up after that he's usually just a jacked up robot.

Arguably the best version of Lex as well. People love that questionably tanned / mixed-race? Clancy Brown take on him.
