I never understood Speedy as a sidekick name in general. Like, is he supposed to just be a kid who's really quick on his feet or does he shoot arrows quick enough to impress Green Arrow or what? Either way it doesn't make much sense. At least Robin, as much as he doesn't really stick with a bat theme, dresses like a Robin.

X-O posted:Looks like Gotham fell right into the same trap as Smallville where they greenlight the show and then realize "Wait everything interesting about this guy happens way after this period... gently caress it we'll do it all anyway and just keep him out of the suit" which is not the greatest way to run a show. It's the black black blur!

ToastyPotato posted:I somehow have never heard of War Planets/Shadow Raiders until now. What networks even carried that show in the US? I remember being disappointed when Beast Wars became Beast Machines, and I remember wishing Reboot had continued (and then it did when Toonami briefly brought it back?) I feel like I would have been down to watch another show from those guys if I had heard about it. And Cartoon Network sure as poo poo never showed it during the many years I watched. I know a reboot of Reboot (heh) was announced a while back but I think it totally fell apart in the last year edit: okay nevermind, Wikipedia says it's still happening next year but it's gonna be some weird live-action hybrid so I guess Reboot + Digimon season 2 + lovely child actors.

wdarkk posted:So now we have the reverse question, why isn't manga like that? Is it because the creators own the copyright? If I had to wager a guess, it'd be because a lot of popular manga come in forms like Shonen Jump where you get a whole bunch of comics in one bundle. If Batman is in an issue of Superman then that would boost Superman's sales. But Jump doesn't have individual titles. You don't need to boost sales of any one book, like you do in American comics. One Piece has the same sales as every other comic in Jump on the weeks it is published (even if it might sell way more in collections). That said, if Jump itself isn't doing that great (which I had heard recently but could be some totally unsubstantiated rumor) I don't know why Luffy or Naruto or [shonen protagonist x] aren't teaming up every week to help boost total sales. e: oh never mind other people came up with better answers before me, ignore this.

The much funnier group are the people that are positive that the show isn't actually successful or popular and DC/CN only makes it to somehow spite any fans of the old show. As though there's an entire network pouring resources into a production just to give a middle finger to a very niche group.

God I just hate every Harley design since 2011. Like maybe her original BTAS costume doesn't work for her leading a solo cartoon, and especially for a live action movie, but there has to be some kind of happy middle ground between her OG costume and her current one.

Yeah I don't know what that scheduling decision was about. I mean even if Saturday morning cartoons were still A Thing (which they aren't), 7 AM is just too drat early. I mean there is a part of me that gets all tinfoil-hat-conspiracy and wants to say it was an intentional move to kill the show, but no network wants programming to bomb or they wouldn't greenlight it in the first place.

My first exposure to TMNT was my parents buying me a toy at a yard sale of a van that shot plastic pizzas. Later on I did watch some on a VHS at my cousin's house and the entire time I was waiting on the pizza van to appea:, as though it was an important part of the lore.

I don't know the first but I do know the latter.

I don't think either service has actually started though, so for now you're SOL

ToastyPotato posted:Everyone is just going to make their own service because that is the ultimately going to provide the most possible revenue. Of course, if everyone does this, however, the amount of money people will spend on streaming will be spread thin, lowering the potential revenue per service. Services will be shuttered, content will end up in limbo, and the biggest losers will be the viewers, no matter what. Yeah, depending on what you're already paying for, all these different streaming things may already be more expensive than cable.

ToastyPotato posted:Even weirder, isn't New 52 Superman actually an in universe different character than normal Superman? And didn't he get his own big death story so that he could be replaced with OG Superman? But I do suppose they might have started animating this before the decision to return to the classic design. Yes and no? They explained it by saying that both N52 Supes and the OG Supes were one being or had their memory tampered with or something to explain the current Rebirth Superman. So it's kind of a Grant Morrison-esque "every story happened" thing... except I guess all the stories that contradict each other like Superman dating Wonder Woman.

At least Bane has the potential to be good, since he's established to be smart and have a whole backstory in addition to having the venom thing going. Doomsday is just... Doomsday. I mean I've read his stupid retconned-in history on Wikipedia but everybody knows he only ever existed to kill Superman.

X-O posted:I had never once seen a second of Teen Titans Go until the trailer for the movie came on before Deadpool 2 last night. It was completely unbearable. How was this a thing? It still is a thing. And it is somehow the most polarizing cartoon of the century, as it's either hilarious or the worst thing ever, depending on who you ask. I'm the former, you're apparently the latter. I've never met (on the internet or irl) anyone who thinks TTG is just "kinda" good/bad.

Lurdiak posted:I don't know, I think this one has legs. It's sucked in a lot of latent reactionary hatred and general dissatisfaction with Cartoon Network and modern animation in general that people have had for years. Every idiot who hates Teen Titans Go is hopping onto this bandwagon. Everyone who misses realistically proportioned muscleman cartoons is on board too. Everyone who hates how lgbt-friendly Steven Universe is feels validated by the hatred this is getting. Everyone who doesn't understand how the costs of animation have skyrocketed in the past 20 years resulting in simpler animation is all too happy for a scapegoat. Honestly though I think it's only good for the show in the long run. I mean if you look on Youtube for Teen Titans Go the second result behind actual clips from the show are these dumbasses making reaction videos and long-winded rants about how ~terrible~ it is that the big bad network is ruining their nostalgia and how no one actually likes the show and it's only being broadcast because a whole loving company doesn't want money but actually just wants to piss them off personally. Only now I guess instead of 20-30 year olds it'll be middle-aged nerds whining on camera. What I'm saying is that people will not simply not watch the show, like you're supposed to do with things you don't like, they're going to watch it to make sure they can tell everyone how bad it is, ironically giving it the views and interest it needs to live. I still can't believe these idiots use soy boys as an unironic insult.

Android Blues posted:I don't think it's a very good piece. Sometimes I like Tycho's takes but this seems wildly off base, like, he accuses the people defending the reboot of brand worship and blind corporatism, while completely ignoring the fact that the criticism of the reboot is shot through with weird right-wing politics stuff about "gender non-conforming characters" and "SJW animators". Yeah I think they'd have a point if the show were actually out and people were dissing/getting overly defensive about it then. As it stands, it's a bunch of dudes ready to fight over a picture and a press release and some half-baked notion that the big bad CalArt SJWs are coming to kill their childhoods. Also it reeks of cultural gatekeeping (I think I'm using that term correctly excuse me if not) any time someone mentions that a remake should be "faithful" to the original work I cringe, because they might as well have said "it needs to be the same!"
