Favorite action/superhero cartoons of all time - Page 2

Leofan26 · 07-11-2014, 02:47 PM

UGH Tough one...

1 . Justice League

2. Batman Beyound

3. TNMNT 2003 series

4. Speed Racer Next Generation ( I don't care what the old timer fandom thinks, I enjoyed the action the most out of all the Speed Racer shows. Season two is when things really got rolling though. Too bad I can't find the episodes other than Amazon and that costs money :

5 . Teen Titans ( Ignoring the odd Animation, a.cation and some of the plots was good at times. )

6. Young Justice ( It would have been higher had it not focused so much on Super boy and what's her name ) Not to mention what a mess season two in the end turned out to be. What was up with the random Alien plot in season two? What happened with that? Too many characters were added and hardly used, they destroyed Nightwing's character, he could have been an awesome leader too

)

Jackie Chan Adventures ( Seasons one through four were a blast, than it started being more about Jade and her annoying acting stupid to tag along plots ) I got tired of that.

If we are counting old school Animated shows

Darkwing Duck is a must seen, funny villains and fun action, like able characters. Don't know what number I should add this in.

Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers was cool. Duck Tales of course, loved the film too. Aladdin the series was one of my favorites along with the films.

Sadly we don't have too many good shows these days, Legend of Korra season three so far has been good but I can't judge till it's over. TNMNT 2012 series when it's in the Shredder plot is fun.

As far as Anime goes, that spot goes to Gintama when in bad ass arcs it awesome. Dragon Ball towards the end in the the Piccolo Jr arc, than Dragon Ball Z in the Cell saga. Pokemon in the early series, I'd say Kanto to the D / P series was at it's best but that's me.

I have different taste compared to most I'm sure LOL.

*Netkeeper* · 07-11-2014, 04:47 PM

Well since a lot of people have brought up anime and I purposely left it out of my list I'll name a few anime. I mean why not.

Digimon Tamers
YuYu Hakusho
Dragonball Z
Zoids Chaotic Century/Guardian Force
Pokémon Origins
Dragonball
Digimon Adventure/Digimon Adventure 02

Also, on the note of "Sonic SatAM and Jackie Chan Adventures not being superhero shows", the thread title is action/superhero cartoons. They are definitely action.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-11-2014, 05:09 PM

Point taken. Feel free to slide Sonic SatAM "officially" onto my list in place of Galactic Guardians.

Me neither, and it's on a lot in my house! Although I did quite enjoy watching Transformers: Prime the other day, certainly my preferred version from what I've seen.

My favourites (in no order) include X-men, He-man, She-ra, Thundercats, Ghostbusters, Teen Titans, Batman, Dungeons & Dragons, and of course, all 3 TMNT cartoons.
With most of these I like all versions I've seen as the 80's/90's ones hold sentimental nostalgia whilst the newer ones are usually better in terms of animation, plot and acting.

In addition to the Ninja Turtles OT and the first and second Movie:

*MrTMNT2012* · 07-11-2014, 05:52 PM

Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. That's it really! I mean I've seen shows like Batman: The Animated Series, Young Justice and Spectacular Spider-Man and they're all good but Avatar is on a whole different level.

*CyberCubed* · 07-11-2014, 07:09 PM

I've never watched Avatar. I want to watch it but I feel it has, "Harry Potter" syndrome in that the cult status of it turns me away from trying it.

TMNT_Guy · 07-11-2014, 07:14 PM

Oh boy, there’s so many. Here’s a few I haven’t seen mentioned yet in no particular order:

• Swat Kats
• The original 1952 “Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century”.
• Freakazoid
• The Fleischer Studios Popeye cartoons
• Super Secret Secret Squirrel from 2 Stupid Dogs
• The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show (Rocky is “a real life TV hero”)
• Sailor Moon
• Hong Kong Phooey
• Sam & Max: Freelance Police
• Earthworm Jim
• The Super Mario Bros Super Show

Harry Potter is overrated IMO. Avatar does have a cult following but that's because the show was a breath of fresh air for Nickelodeon's reputation which basically was that it produced nothing but kids crap during that time period.

I'm not gonna write a whole review but if you're a fan of animation or just good storytelling in general, Avatar is up there with the very best.

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 07-12-2014, 08:41 AM

Would Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers qualify? If so that show was/is just the sh#t. I couldn't get enough of it. The intro had like the best intro song ever!

I can see what you mean, but personally I love Transformers, and I think the G1 cartoon is one of the greatest cartoons ever.

*CyberCubed* · 07-12-2014, 09:18 AM

Transformers is like the one big childhood fad I never got into.

Loved TMNT, DC and Marvel superheroes, Pokemon, Star Wars, etc. but I just never got into Transformers. It's just something that never clicked with me.

That's fair, but chicks dig giant robots.

This turned me away from it for years, myself. That and the fandom was batshit. After it ended [during that period between ATLA and Korra] I decided to give it a try and I was really really impressed with how amazing it was. It and TMNT 2k3 are definitely my favourite western cartoons ever. I'd give it a shot someday!

I've also never been a fan of Transformers, my generation was just one that didn't have a Transformers cartoon while growing up. I only caught a few episodes of Transformers Generation 2 which apparently is just a re-broadcast of the original show but didn't really like it, I got to watch Beast Wars and loved it but it's far from a "real" transformers show, will watch one of these days. The fact that I don't care about cars probably doesn't help. There's a few times I thought about getting into it but I think it's one of those franchises that if it doesn't appeal to you it just doesn't. I watched the first three episode "movie" of the Animated show from a few years ago and it didn't do much for me either. The franchise just has so much content it's hard to get into it, the original show just screams of 80s and without Nostalgia I don't think I'd be able to make it through most episodes.

As far as Avatar, now that is a franchise that even if it doesn't appeal to you, you should watch. It didn't appeal to me but decided to watch it. At first during the first season you think the concept is not good and it's an interesting show, but it's not until the first season finishes that you realize it's much more than that. Truly one of the best cartoons ever made, highly recommended to anyone, especially if you love animation.

So, Jackie Chan Adventures is actually good? The concept seems dumb, the only reason I've ever been vaguely interested in it was because I love Jackie Chan movies which is dumb since this only takes his name for the title..

It was OK. It's nowhere as good as the big DC and Marvel shows, or stuff like Gargoyles or Avatar or TMNT, but its a decent action show.

Jackie Chan Adventures was an interesting experiment that somehow worked and made a good show. It isn't a great show though, simply a good one. It won't blow your socks off or anything.

This is pretty much my list except for the Avengers, street fighter, replace those two with Avatar the last airbender and Legend of Korra
