Off the subject, Fiona and Cake continues to be good and it was nice to see Marceline get some more screentime even if it was an AU version as was BMO aside from the fact they quickly killed him off. Also the Litch King returns. Two episodes remain now, looking forward to seeing how this ends and I wouldn’t mind seeing more AT content in the future assuming this proves successful enough Larryb fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Sep 23, 2023 |

Also the Litch King returns. Betty also got a new VA it seems (she’s voiced by Felicia Day here) She's been Felicia Day for a long while now, I think for every appearance after the first two or so. If you wanna see more chat, people are talking F&C in the Adult thread right now, I think.

Nameless Pete posted:It was fine when they killed literally everyone except BMO. But that's just going too far! I feel like it’s different if the characters of the series I’m watching could help but run away instead. I would imagine there’s going to be some kind of return to the vampire world, given how open-ended the end of the episode is. I wonder if Golb is Prismo’s unreachable boss.

I’m still just rotating the massive implications of Baby Finn getting left behind in Vampire World. I know main Finn survived living in the wilderness as a kid, but it’s so bleak in such a funny way.

I’m assuming this show will ultimately tie back into the ending montage from AT featuring Simon finally finding closure and all of this is just an extended look at how he got there

Fionna & Cake: I was so certain that they'd teleport the lead vampire to another universe, along with his crown, thus saving the other universe but causing more problems for themselves. Not so much. Baby Finn's in the opening credits so I wonder if they'll do more with him, but there's only two eps left so eh.

He doesn’t have gray hair in the montage, although I think that would be a good way to tie things up. I don’t think they’ll turn Fionna’s world back to being magical after everything the normal 90s versions of Marshall Lee and the baker guy have been through. I could see Fionna and Cake choosing to stay in Ooo at the end, or going to some other exciting universe.

Is X-Men Evolution (the high school au one) considered solid? I've heard some good things about it here and there (mostly for being the show that really put Nightcrawler and Kitty Pryde to non-comic reading people), but I also know that the one preceding it that's getting a reboot is also pretty well regarded so I understand if it's kind of in it's shadow or contested in certain ways.

It's a real mix. The animation is a huge improvement over the 90s show (which can charitably be described as going for a look its budget doesn't really support a lot of the time) but it was considered more juvenile and some of the new characters got very irritating in an early 00s trying real hard to be 'cool' way. It's definitely not hewing close to the comics like the 90s show did, for better or worse. But it's got a lot of fun characterisation, and some real kickass sequences when it goes full comic book. (the sequence where WW2-era Logan and Captain America raid a concentration camp and rescue a young Magneto is something the movies should recreate as soon as feasible)

In case it bothers you as much as it bothered me: the scene of Kitty Pryde and Rogue dancing looks familiar because it’s rotoscoped from the scene of Buffy and Faith dancing in the opening credits of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That drove me crazy until I figured it out.

Evolution is good, but it only starts firing on all cylinders in the second season. Not that there's many episodes in the first season you've got to suffer through because they're all at least fine but second season is just when it really gets going. I honestly think it's better than X-Men '92 overall which is powered mostly by nostalgia.

Larryb posted:A pity it ends on a cliffhanger though just like nearly every X-Men series that isn’t the ‘92 show That's the most frustrating part, really. '92 had a good ending but nOsTaLgIa. And what they wanted to do in Evolution after was really neat, playing with a lot of established formulas like paring up Scott with Rogue instead of the much more typical and tired Scott/Jean.

Why is it that every X-Men show except the ‘92 series and I think that one Japanese miniseries ultimately got cancelled prematurely anyway? Honestly they should be reviving Evolution rather than the 90’s show in my opinion

Probably because it was trying something a little different than the movies which were the primary way people were consuming X-Men stuff at the time. People wanted that and not these kid versions of the X-Men. (also they probably wanted more Wolverine. I mean he was there but he wasn't the focus a lot. People loving love Wolverine.) At least it got its own Harley Quinn-esque legacy by introducing X-23 to the world so it'll always live on a bit and not be truly forgotten to time. And as far as why not revive it instead of the 90s one, the answer was already posted... Dawgstar posted:'92 had a good ending but nOsTaLgIa.

When I was a kid, I saw Evolution first. It had a regular Saturday slot and I really liked it. One day that show was suddenly done and they aired '92 in that timeslot instead. It felt like hot garbage with atrocious production value. I'm not interested in that revival at all.

I never knew 92 had a proper ending, I thought it mostly ran out of budget for the last season, which made its kinda sketchy animation quality get more awkward, so I never tried going back to go all the way with it. Evolution was alright, but it's also a very "teen issues" show, which that always tends to make me cringe. It ended up having a lot of unique takes on characters because it was sorta following in the footsteps of the movie but not all the way.

The '92 theme is extremely iconic, but the '89 theme is probably the best X-Men song. The X-Men really fell from their heights after the last decade or so, I wonder if Marvel is going to manage to salvage them.

just like Batman Beyond, Evolution is way better than it has any right or expectation to be. like "cool uncle" Wolverine some how just works. also while I havent watch the series proper since it aired in childhood, I did watch a cool fanedit super cut of all the Apocalypse stuff and its a better "film" than most of real xmen movies.

Cool Uncle Wolverine and Cool Aunt Storm should always be a thing. Wolverine was a great Cool Uncle to Jubes and Kitty in the comic. I'd love to get a weird convoluted storyline in the new X-Men show that gets us to X-23, Scout/Honeybadger and Jonathon (No Dakken, tho.)
