I've very excited about JL Action having Swamp Thing in it. I hope psychedelic yams are somehow involved.

KaosMachina posted:So do Teen Titans GO!'s creators just subsist off the tears of the fanboys of the original 00s Teen Titans cartoon or what? It's kind of funny how I remember crusty jerks being absolutlely furious about the original Teen Titans cartoon not being Bruce Timm styled and ripping into the fans and now those fans are the crusty jerks.

Lurdiak posted:I didn't watch it because I found the anime-style flourishes to be offputting and the frenetic pacing of the dialogue obnoxious, but I didn't flip my lid about it either, or yell at people who liked the show. If I can be reasonable about things I don't like I don't see why everyone else can't. This was "nuke Japan again for making DBZ" level commentary, brother

I mean the original show is kind of an elephant in the room where the new one is concerned, and considering the nature of Teen Titans Go it would be kind of disingenuous if they never talked about it.

Roth posted:Teen Titans is still my favorite DC show, and I will never understood why Teen Titans Go sends people into such a frothing rage. I think part of it is how Teen Titans ended, with the last episode being a cliffhanger. Like yeah, dumbdumbs were mad about Brave and the Bold, but since the DCAU lasted so long the "not MY Batman!" sentiment was pretty much the sole reason, whereas the reaction to TTG is that combined with resentment that the first show didn't go on for 20 seasons and had an unsatisfying ending to boot.

Don't the subsidiaries of WB compete with each other too, like Sears locations? I read that somewhere. Cartoon Network might resent DC or something.

Crabtree posted:Hey, they're technically right as the first Teen Titans cartoon was made back in 1967 by Filmation. It's not Go's fault that there are people still obsessing about how insulting it is to some faux 2004 anime show that's now being shown again on CN because GO's apparently still so goddamn profitable. This is weird, it really makes the Teen Titans a generic superhero team. Like, they never had a mountain headquarters or anything like that. Dexie posted:I had to check, because there was no way that Spider-Man TAS did the Symbiote by episode 8. No way. It was 1995, and Venom was one of the coolest characters in comics. Of course they weren't going to wait that long. Weird that he disappeared that long though... And yeah it eventually becomes a home for disparate Marvel characters of all kinds. Like that weirdo Secret Wars storyline that the series ended with.

The scene where they show Brucey standing on that roof with his trench at an angle makes me think they're intentionally riffing on the Batman TAS intro.

It needs the Kingpin and Hobgoblin to fully be a tribute to 90s Spidey. Also Kraven's Amazing Hunt better be a full-on adaption of Kraven's Last Hunt

wdarkk posted:So now we have the reverse question, why isn't manga like that? Is it because the creators own the copyright? That, and there wasn't as strong a sense that the creators were disposable early on in manga as there was in pre-war to 60s Western comics. Poorly treated and compensated assistants who are uncredited were and are used by manga publishers to make up for that though. And some Disney comics creators internationally still don't get credit. Endless Mike posted:Sorry what do you mean by "none of the stories had continuity"? Do you just mean that things happening in one book may or may not affect what's happening in others? Seeing as how he's coming from manga I assume he means one continuous story told by one creator from beginning to end. Lightning Lord fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Oct 30, 2017 |

punk rebel ecks posted:I'd assume this is had a major part in comics declining. Too many stories to keep track of and readers not caring or bonding with the characters or world enough. I think that played a role but the main cause was that the collector's bubble burst in a bad way in the mid 90s and drove a lot of people away from the medium. Anyway, of course the halcyon days of Superman selling a million issues are never coming back, but some of that is because the world has changed and people have a thousand other forms of entertainment, many cheaper and offering more hours per dollar. Sci-fi pulp novels don't sell a billion copies anymore either. Anyway I hope you stick around. One caution, I've noticed that in general comics people are terrible at making suggestions for manga people, and it often ends up souring people on the whole deal. Like when ADTRW and BSS were trying to do that cultural exchange program with the two threads, the BSS manga suggestion thread is still active but the ADTRW comics thread went down in flames, probably partially because it opened with suggesting Transformers comics. Those particular comics are pretty alright but it's an odd footing to start on, it's like if the manga thread had an op pushing Super Sentai manga or something IDK. Of course this is all exacerbated by many comics fans thinking one size fits all suggestions are the way to go with everything. If you want some suggestions I'm willing to offer them but you'd have to tell me the kinds of things you like first.

Endless Mike posted:There's lots and lots of American comics like that though? Not so much Marvel/DC, but there's plenty of indie books that run for years with one set of creators, or at worst, one writer with multiple artists. Some manga readers who don't have much experience with American comics don't really know that too well. Seeing as this guy is talking about superheroes I'm assuming this is the case, but maybe I'm being unfair.

Mulva posted:Most of the Space Quests too. Really I think it's actually the minority that *don't* hold up. I assume Lurdiak's main objection to the Sierra games is deaths, dead man walking scenarios and moon logic puzzles. The Space Quests are still very funny, but they're packed to the brim with those. Personally I've played all the Sierra adventures so many times I can sleepwalk through them all so it doesn't bother me, but I can see how it would someone else. QfG and GK1 don't really have those problems though, they're the most well designed and the games even the most hardened LucasArts partisans usually respect
