Kosmo Gallion posted:I'm enjoying the show but everything feels quite sudden and out of nowhere. Where is the huge episodes spanning arc? Bam episode 3 and Jean Grey is a clone, bam next episode RIP Gambit, next episode Professor X is alive! Etc It's very much like the original, in that sense. Edit: The longest arc it had was 5 episodes, I think.

 This is my first encounter with Surf Dracula and wow, that's accurate.I swear some 90's comics had to do something major every issue. Introduce a new character, kill a character, revive a character, etc.

Vegetable posted:Pretty lol that they spend so much time setting up a big rear end galactic trial for Professor X only for him to nope the gently caress out at the last moment and be all “nooo my x-men” (episode 6 spoilers) I love that it basically had Charles decide to turn the tables and give both friends and enemies a literal lesson in Imperialism 101 before rage quitting. Funny thing is, the Empress's crazy sister is right about at least one thing that his loyalties are clearly divided, and as long as he has ties to Earth and his students he isn't fit to be part of ruling a space empire. Also lol that Gladiator is so very clearly Superman, even having similar animation and mannerisms to a lot of depictions of Superman in how he uses his powers. The whole space empire angle is interesting, since both blatantly and subtly they're clear about the contradictions and questionable morality of the whole affair, and how the romantic angle (in a few senses) blinds both the characters and audience to them until they come to a head.

As someone who watched the original horribly animated cartoon eating cereal on Saturday morning seeing Wolverine finally get to do something really cool with his claws was pure catharsis. Also, Spider-Man!

This made me go back and look and realize that, while I thought I was really into X-Men as a kid, but I thought there was maybe two seasons, not five. Which made me dig a little deeper. TMNT had ten seasons? Doug had seven? I’m starting to think I wasn’t really into anything as a kid.

mysterious frankie posted:TMNT had ten seasons? I remember coming across the show one Saturday morning and thinking that it had been a while since I even thought about watching TMNT, which I used to be obsessed with, and I later realized that the episode I was watching was the series finale. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the episode other than the final minute where Splinter outright tells them, "I have nothing left to teach you. I'm no longer referring to you as my students. You are my equals now." Also, there was a video a while back from the Angry Video Game Nerd when he talked about the weird later seasons. The show went on for so long that the last season had a moment of April looking up info on the internet.

It's tricky with cartoons since a lot of them rerun the early seasons over and over and you barely get to see the later seasons, though it got especially bad in the 00s where they'd show late season Justice League and Teen Titans like literally once in the middle of a weekday and then bury them.

I remember I went to rewatch gargoyles like 10-15 years ago when a goon made a thread about it and I was so bummed out that it only went 3 seasons then I found out the second  season had 52 episodes and I don't think I even made it through like the first half of the second season. not that it was bad it was just a lot of loving show

Sounds like you could split the second season into two and pretend it's S2 and S3, if that's easier for you to watch, Cubone.

Cubone posted:I remember I went to rewatch gargoyles like 10-15 years ago when a goon made a thread about it and I was so bummed out that it only went 3 seasons Sixty-five was the number of episodes they usually wanted for syndication, so animated shows often had short first seasons and massive second seasons, or massive first seasons followed by short second seasons if they decided if it was popular enough to keep going. Transformers had forty-nine episodes in its second season because the first season had been a three-part mini-series and thirteen regular episodes. On the other hand, BTAS had sixty-five episodes in its first season and only twenty in its second. Importing Japanese cartoons could be problematic because they tended to run fewer episodes, which is why Robotech was really three different shows.

They're not "seasons" in the sense of prime time TV. Syndicated kids cartoons had all sorts of weird episode purchases, usually focused on 13 week periods. So a weekday show would get 65 episodes for a "season" and then they might sell that fornfour or five years. Or something shown on weekends would get a thirteen episode order. And then if a show was a big hit in syndication then they might refresh the episodes every few years but not necessarily with another big order. Maybe twenty episodes. And sometimes they might just make five episodes for a weekly strip or something moving from weekends to week days might get an abreviated order. Kids entertainment was disposable and the production stuff was weird as a result.
