It's less about the spinal thing for the Lion Tamer and more that Jericho's working with much bigger guys in WWE than he did in the WCW cruiserweight division. Because WWE now has a lot of smaller guys, he'll break it out on them sometimes as a 'super' version. DDTs aren't banned, though piledrivers that aren't tombstones done by the Undertaker and occasionally Kane have been. John Cena and CM Punk got in a poo poo-ton of trouble for doing one about 5 years ago on live TV. It's kind of hilarious to watch because Michael Cole shits himself when he realises they actually hit it instead of just reversing out of it like usually happens now. e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xGvevIW1ZE Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Jan 22, 2017 |

Yeah, Batman & Robin is one of those movies that benefits from the YouTube generation, where you can look up edited highlights, because big stretches of it are dull as gently caress.The fun parts are a lot of fun, like every moment John Glover is on screen, but then there's poo poo like the streetracing subplot and the entire third act which feel like they take 6 hours.

gently caress it, this is technically comics related and it looks like it might actually be good so, for your approval, a trailer for DuckTales: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-LNgU4e1rE

She's doing the DC Super Hero Girls series based on the doll line. On a different note, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKSU82afy1w I don't think it's disputable that this is on-topic now. The titles are LITERAL comic book panels, and that shot of the pirate ship is right out of the Barks comics.

I still have no idea how anyone can look at the BTAS Catwoman, and the TNBA Catwoman and think the latter is anything but a massive misstep. Like, how did it even get past the design phase? "She's the sleek, sexy burglar who's the Robin Hood to Batman's Zorro, and her original design reflects that by heavily referencing the Batsuit in it's aesthetic... I know, let's make her a goth in a bad homemade onesie!"

Didn't it take a lot of work for them to even have the suits allow that 2 second Nightwing cameo in the proto-Birds of Prey episode? EDIT: Speaking of, I'm watching the Batman/Harley movie and... it's pretty decent so far? Even the scene with Harley and Nightwing hooking up feels mostly in-character, given that they're going with something in-between the DCAU and modern comics versions of the characters. Hell, even the stinger would make a decent gimmick for a run on Harley's solo title, her being a celeb shrink in the Dr Phil mode seems like good fodder for gags and stories.

TheHan posted:Thirding that I'm really enjoying this new Spider-Man show. It's refreshing to have a Spidey show that remembers being Peter Parker and having a cast of normal (albeit very smart) people is what makes Spider-Man interesting. Almost all of those smart people are characters that have spider-powers in the comics, though.

Tangentially, I just saw a clip of Gotham that affirmed what I've been saying for YEARS and that's that Alexander Siddig is the perfect casting choice for Ra's. Like, it's eerie how much he looks like he stepped off the page, it's like Oldman in the Nolan films.

I haven't watched ANY of Gotham since like the third episode, but I do have to credit them with apparently making a show that's unafraid to have Ra's al Ghul pretty much appear unchanged from the comics. Just straight up "Yo, I'm an immortal warlord king from the middle-ages and people think I'm a demon in human form. 'sup?"

Timeless Appeal posted:Beast Wars is this special category of show like Sailor Moon that I exclusively watched at six thirty or seven in the morning on WPIX every weekday and just exist as some weird half-dream.

Sailor Moon basically has the Cosmic Cube, so she uses it to banish the villain and essentially rewrites reality so her friends are alive again, and they (and she) don't remember ever being superheroes. She immediately gets her memory restored at the start of the second season and then spends several episodes trying to avoid restoring her friends so they don't have deal with being under constant threat of death and let them have normal lives. Also somehow this splits her boyfriend into two dudes, one of whom dresses like a racist Arabian prince stereotype.

Dexie posted:ftfy You misspelled Uranus, tho? My favourite moment in the series is actually the third season finale, where Sailor Moon ends up fighting the two more 'edgy' members of the team. They're refusing to listen to her because they're the tough gals that know how poo poo REALLY works and murder is definitely the only way, and this wuss probably isn't even a real moon princess anyway, so gently caress off. And then she kicks both their butts, including dodging every single blow from the one that is A) the hand-to-hand expert and B) the one with wind as her element, so being super-fast is her 'thing'. That season is absolutely worth revisiting. The drama stuff is great, and the goofy poo poo is BANANAS. The lead director that year was the dude that ended up making Revolutionary Girl Utena and a bunch of other sapphic-themed animes, plus there's a bunch of the classic Japanese fantasy mish-mashing of Western cultural concepts and mythology.

ToastyPotato posted:Beast Machines was such a damned disappointment. Beast Wars was one of my favorite shows at the time so Machines kind of hurt. I didn't know that there was a planned third series. Well, there was for sure a planned toyline, called TransTech, which as stated would've been back to the traditional vehicle forms. It was very ambitious from a toy-design perspective, and I'm not sure the cartoon got very far beyond loose design sketches. War Planets/Shadow Raiders (the non-war title for this one is better, really) was pretty great though. A lot of the series is about politics, honestly, but in a way where kids can understand it.

JT Smiley posted:They also made Raptrap totally useless in battle so all he could do was run and hide and turned Rhinox into a villain. Yeah, the problem was that the show sort of implied that the writers didn't understand the previous characterisations... except that it was the same writers from Beast Wars. If you pretend it's not meant to tie into Beast Wars, it's a half-decent show. And as a bonus you can also forget how they literally redid Blackarachnia's character arc again, just that she was trying to redeem her boyfriend, instead of the other way round. (Fun fact: Her design was LITERALLY based on a stripper from a club near the Mainframe offices)

The head writers of BM were Bob Skir and Marty Isenberg with the series treatment being done by Marv Wolfman, while Beast Wars was led by Bob Forward and Larry Ditillo. They were told by Hasbro and Dan Didio, then the head of Mainframe, not to watch earlier episodes initially. Huh, I was sure Forward had worked on BW as well.

They usually have to learn to fight smarter, fight as a team, or find the macguffin. Wolverine isn't going to go to Japan to learn the drill claw technique to defeat Sabertooth, no matter how awesome that'd be. He could at least send Colossus to some baseball lessons, pick up some new pitches.

To be fair, an animated TMNT show has never run less than like 5 seasons. The last one started in like 2011, the one before than was in '03 and ran until '09 and the 80s show ran for 10-ish seasons. It's not like they're cancelling these things without giving them a chance.

There's the weird situation with the '03 show where they had a whole season in the can, the network told them to scrap it, retool the show and set it in the future, and then told them to scrap THAT and just do more modern day NYC stories.
