That's good advice. Unrelated but I once got an incredible two-disc set of a ton of Hogan's matches from Japan at a convention and I've never seen it available anywhere else. You'll always find some hidden gems at a convention.

Just the 80's. It was a far more violent show than He-man. When the 80's MLP gang took on evil doers for the most part, they didn't hold anything back. The 2012 reboot, I don't think any one died. And if they did defeat a all powerful villain, they trap it in stone or in some prison or they turn good. No one died in the 2012 show. I just think the 80's MLP should get the respect it should get is all.

Storm King pretty much died in the FiM movie, though. He got turned to stone and then shattered into a million pieces. That seems pretty "dead" to me.

I can't speak to the 80s MLP series since I totally missed it. I've only watched the '86 movie from back then, and I didn't much care for it. But that doesn't mean I won't like the other stuff from back then, I just haven't seen any of it yet.

The movie was not the highpoint in the series though it was really one of its low points. Even I will admit it was not great.

Crunch the Rockdog, The Magic Coins, "The Return of Tambelon, Baby, It's Cold Outside, Through the Door, Rescue at Midnight Castle are perhaps when the show was at its best. The movie is not really the best point to start the series in.

It's all I have, it came with the FiM movie in the 30th Anniversary Blu-ray set. Figured it'd pass part of an afternoon.

My favorite thing about it was that Beebe Bluff and Buster Bunny's voice actors were in it.

The movie was really suppose to be a selling point for a tv show of MLP. After the success of the 2 TV specials, they did a theater movie which was pretty much to sale a tv show in the making. Even though it was a poor movie, it really was suppose to be a pilot of sorts for the show. With how poor the movie was, even I am shock they got the go ahead for a TV show since well, it flop. The tv show is better since that is were they found there "Legs" so to speak. Amazon does have it on DVD for about 20$ on Region 1.

As I said before, I would not judge the tv show base on the movie. MLP FIM was lucky, they at least had a tv show before there movie, so when they made the movie, they found there legs awhile ago if that makes sense.

We all better be able to at least agree that because Batman: The Animated Series (BTAS) happened Marvel put out some great competition in the 90's. Granted the Hulk show, Fantastic Four show and its spinoff Silver Surfer werent that great, BUT X-men and Spidey shows were... Bavo!

In my lists, as far as not counting Scooby Doo (which is sad because it can be fun) or The Flintstones, it's because those shows are laughably slow paced and after a while they get boring. Same goes for Yogi Bear and the Hannah-Barbarra shows BUT... I should have included Superfriends, or at least Galactic Guardians.

I think the only good marvel show in the 90's was X-Men, to me Spiderman seem more like a soap opera than well a comic book cartoon. The 90's was the era of top DC movies and cartoons. Marvel was really coming off 2nd best until of course around 2003 or so. Not sure the Flintstones and Scooby doo are slow pace. The Flintstones are about a stone age family and every day life, it really was no different than any other show about a family of that era. Scooby had the build up with its dark scary cartoon background.

Oh really? Do me a favor and try to binge watch 5 episodes of Scooby Doo or Flintstones as an adult.

Do the same with BTAS or Superman TAS. You'll notice a difference. It has everything to do with when those cartoons were made. Children's animation in the 50's and 60's was as bland as dishwater.

And your criticisms of Spider-man as a soap opera. Spider-man was a soap opera comic. Johnny Romita and Stan Lee and then Gerry Conway and Ross Andru all the way up to David Michelinie and McFarlane wrote soap opera stories with costumed heroics. Most everything after that WAS NOT Spider-man. Read what Roger Stern did to Peter and MJ. That's as soapy as you can get.

I can binge watch Scooby, not sure on the Flintstones, and as a kid, I did find Spiderman pretty boring compare to Batman or Superman.

The best Spider-Man cartoons, such as the 90s animated series and Spectacular Spider-Man, are the ones with soap opera in them.

You sure it wasn't Tom DeFalco that did that? Or are you referring to when Stern wrote for Spectacular Spider-Man just before Marv Wolfman wrote MJ out in ASM?

When Stern wrote Amazing Spider-Man, MJ had been absent for several years and he had only just brought her back in, he introduced a bit of her backstory which Tom D would flesh out later, but I remember him writing some fairly light stuff between Peter and MJ where they were just filtatious friends again, all the drama came after Stern left and Tom D took over, solidifying the modern relationship MJ's had with Peter ever since.

It's not my thing - just like Batman TAS wasn't my thing, but that's the point of a thread like this. M̶a̶r̶k̶e̶t̶ ̶r̶e̶s̶e̶a̶r̶c̶h̶... I mean, I want to get to know the people of the drome, better.

I was sure it was the mid 50's. Why were the early episodes in Black and White? By 1960 I am pretty sure color was a thing.
