I AM GRANDO posted:Anyone interested in what he would do with new Gargoyles episodes should look at the 20 years of fan Q&A archives on his site. He imagined a lot of content, including five spin-offs and an epic franchise conclusion set 100 years in the future where Xanatos’s grandson and the collective forces of humanity lead a desperate war against the Space Spawn, who have invaded Earth. I guess the gargoyles would also be involved? To be fair the whole reason he came up with so many spinoff ideas is because before Jeffrey Katzenberg left Disney to found DreamWorks one of his many very ambitious plans had been for Gargoyles to be the launching point for an entire superhero universe so that Disney could have its own equivalent to DC and Marvel, which is why the second season not only got its order extended to 52 episodes(it was originally only going to be 26 episodes from my recollection)* but also why so many episodes in Season 2 are basically setting up other heroes around the world, this obviously didn't work out once Katzenberg left which is probably why Weisman got axed during Season 3, Disney would flirt a bit with other attempts at securing a hold in the boys market(the period where they owned Power Rangers as well as an aborted attempt at doing a "Heroes" line that would have been the distaff equivalent of the Disney Princess line) before they decided to just buy out some of the bigger existing entities with Marvel and Star Wars *if you pay attention during a rewatch of Season 2 it actually becomes pretty obvious in certain spots where things got shuffled around or altered because of the extension drrockso20 fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Aug 14, 2023 |

Disney must be banking hard on the X-Men ‘97 series as despite not even having a concrete release date it’s already been greenlit for a second season: https://bleedingcool.com/tv/x-men-97-season-2-i-think-youre-gonna-love-it-lenore-zann-rogue/

Continuation of a beloved series, lots of popular characters, people who grew up with it will introduce it to their kids, and there hasn't been any X-Men television stuff in a while.

I have to imagine after a decade of failing to get Inhumans to stick, Disney is jazzed just to have the very successful property of X-Men back on the front burner and get those nerds jazzed up for MCU Gambit

They apparently got at least a few of the 90’s VAs back for it as well. Last I checked it’s currently slated for fall of this year though there are rumblings that it might wind up getting delayed to 2024

They should get that one comedian who does a bit about the first episode of X-Men to do voices for everyone who doesn’t come back. His Jubilee’s dad voice is dead perfect. Even his Storm was pretty good.

I watched the first episode of Strange Planet (based on the funny aliens webcomic) and woof that is not good at all. I don't think I laughed once in the half hour it ran, and there's frankly no reason it should be 30-minute episodes!

I always take these "season 2 confirmed" announcements with a grain of salt. I do not doubt that they'll put out episodes labelled as season 2, but it's an extremely common practice nowadays to just order what used to be a season's worth of episodes and call the second half a new season without any of the benefits the crew would get from an actual second season.

Seeing Superman get exhausted and sleep deprived is neat. At this point in the comics I think he usually just flies into the sun if he gets tired or something. I'm really curious how (if?) Alex is going to become Lex Luthor. Going from Ivo's not-particularly-glamarous-engineer-guy to Superman's archenemy would be a hell of a glow up. Also, is Ivo going to still build Amazo now that he's Parasite? Does Amazo serve a purpose in a story where the Justice League doesn't exist(yet)?

Well he already has a deep hatred of Superman at least thanks to the incident with Ivo but yeah, I’ll be curious how/if this Lex winds up going from what he is now to Superman’s #1 enemy (though we likely won’t see it happen until at least Season 2)

Like, the Lex Luthor we know as Superman's arch-nemesis is Alex Luthor Jr? Dad wanted him to get some experience where the nepotism wouldn't be as obvious but now he knows the most about Superman of anyone Lex Corp has a connection too, and then something happens to Alex Luthor Sr. so he get's the company?

I think Lex's origin (or at least the origin of his money) is something that fluctuates a lot between continuities and from a quick google it seems that in more of them than not he's a real self-made man. Even though in at least some he gets a humble loan from his father... but not the way that phrase made you think, he kills his parents (makes it look like an accident, naturally) and gets the insurance money. OnimaruXLR posted:Seeing Superman get exhausted and sleep deprived is neat. At this point in the comics I think he usually just flies into the sun if he gets tired or something. Yeah, it's nice seeing Superman get used to his powers (and not in like one mediocre scene in a Snyder movie). Like as much as I love the DCAU and will stan S:TAS, I will admit that it starting off having Superman with all his powers was kinda weak. And yeah depending on who's writing sometimes Superman doesn't even have to eat which makes him seem more alien. Seeing Clark having to pound caffeine to fuel his 3 day saving binge makes him more relatable and is also hilarious. TwoPair fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Aug 20, 2023 |

The show is full of characters that are massive departures from their comic counterparts. I don't know that I'd expect Lex Luthor to tick all the standard boxes.

Yeah, I like how this Clark feels more “human” than some of his other counterparts (he’s flawed, he makes mistakes, he has confidence issues, he’s kind of a dork, etc). The rest of the cast has been really good so far too (as I’ve said before, I think this show might have my favorite Lois) We’re also getting close to the end now as I believe I heard in the kids show thread that this season is only about 13 episodes (though a second has already been confirmed with the potential for a third depending on how well the show is doing at that time) Larryb fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Aug 20, 2023 |

Unless they've already recorded the majority of dialog for Season 2 I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for season 2. Animation takes a while and they do it after recording dialog the majority of the time and there's currently an actors strike with the studios refusing to even negotiate.

S2 should be in the can. Design worked off voiced animatics and we rolled off S2 back in January. I was told in April the animation coming back for S2 is better than S1, so it's made. Of course, that doesn't mean it'll air. A month after S2 of Pantheon was fully wrapped, ready to air, AMC killed it. Jake had as far as S4 planned when we last discussed it, but anything past the 2 season order was contingent on initial success. But who knows what "success" means! The only thing that is a guarantee kill for the series, or any series really, is if there's a head change at the company. We only survived Zaslav by being a recognizable name and dirt cheap to produce.

It doesn't look like a cheap show, so its cool that its managing to keep a good quality on a tight budget. then again anime is known for that, but i assume at least the stateside crew is making more than $3 an hour anime wages. Who knows what the rates at studio mir are, but i work with lots of korean animators who now work in canada for a reason.

IIRC Amazo originally had an absorption technology of some king and Ivo being Parasite sets precedent for that. Perhaps he can be an experiment with his Parasite tech and the alien tech to combat Clark.

Finally saw episode 8 of Superman and what an emotional rollercoaster Supes learning he had super hearing and spends 3 days straight saving people and trying to find the General. It's honestly interesting the angle they are going with Vicky. I didn't expect her to be a shallow/egotistical/selfish person, granted I see what they are going with as this would've been Lois if she didn't change how she felt about Clark/Supes.. I bet her taking down the Falcones, she was probably taking more of a certain Bat's credit  It was very dishearting seeing that all it took was one bad incident (granted a major one that almost got people killed) and everyone views Supes negatively. The power of modern media. The fight with the Task force was great, and it's a blink and you'll miss it but.. Supes did go full blue for a second.. so.. maybe his other powers are activating. Clark captured and the next episode General Lane is asking when the invasion will happen.. Wonder if General Zod will make an appearance. But once against this series keeps knocking out of the park!

I really like how Clark has no clue about any particulars where he came from other then the fact that he's an alien. Also it's sorta my bias, I like superman who doesn't have a super strong connection to krypton. I always found it weird how superman would go "Great rao" or poo poo like that. Why would clark adopt the theology of a culture/society he has had no interactions with?

That doesn't seem that weird to me? If he's the last person of a now dead culture and he finds out some aspects of that culture, saying/carrying some of it on seems like a pretty natural reaction.

I've never seen any superman hailing Rao, usually that's more Supergirl's thing, because she actually grew into adolescence on Krypton (or a colony thereof). I do find most of the zany things written about Kryptonian society pretty interesting. It ends up a lot like Vulcan and Gallifrey. Strange advanced worlds with harsh environments that bear scars from some ancient conflict and rigid, old societies that needed somebody to break them out of their rut before it destroyed them. https://kryptonculture-blog.tumblr.com/ SlothfulCobra fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Aug 24, 2023 |

Considering how the current series is handling the people of Krypton so far I’m curious to see what the show is ultimately going to do with Brainiac (I’m guessing a Saiyan/Freiza style relationship most likely) Edit: I forgot him being a Kryptonian supercomputer was purely an invention of STAS (though I wouldn’t be surprised if they do something similar here) Good episode though, I hope Lois and her dad actually get to interact at some point Larryb fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Aug 26, 2023 |

Goddamn what an episode. Slade gets his signature eye patch. It was interesting to see why Waller was taking orders from Lane and now she has became the Wall. I"m curious why they needed to have Jimmy look at the ball as he never had doubts Supes was his buddy so.. yeah. I like the little tidbits like Alex rolling his eyes over at the speech (yeah you are so loving Lex luther with that ego). I did not expect Ivo to actually cry. Course could be crying that he lost or crying how far of a monster he has become. This series is seemingly trying to make the villans not too one dimension. (Granted Livewire is still kinda is)
