True.
So you liked the X-Men anime series too? |

Nah, I'm not very keen on post-Morrison X-Men, even if it is Whedon.

I also never liked Thundercats. I know this series has a following, but I used to watch it on CN and I never understood what was so good about it. The bad 80's animation I could deal with, but the storylines and characters were just bland and uninteresting.
I didn't watch the new version, but I could never get into the original. |

I really liked the Thundercats re-boot. Shame they cancelled it.

Yeah, shame on them for getting rid of something that was losing money. Not like they're a business or anything.

I do get the business reasons behind the cancellation of Thundercats, but even still, I never quite felt they gave the show the "push" it deserved, or needed for it to be more successful. I talked to way too many T-Cats fans who had no idea there even was a new show. And my friends are the types who watch a lot of Cartoon Network. Bad marketing, if you ask me.
I was doing a marathon run of the original last year, and it's not bad at all but it's definitely weak compared to a lot of other stuff from back then. The character designs and basic plot were great, the show had a great look and awesome music, but after about 100 episodes I flat-out got sick of waiting for Lion-O - my favorite character from the show, mind you - to grow the hell up and stop being such a p*ssy. F*ck "Thundercats, HO!", his battle cry should've been "Thundercats... HELP!" How can a guy that jacked up and carrying a gigantic freakin' sword be so utterly incompetent and useless on his own? |

Beware The Batman, while not terrible, is just rather dull. No surprise it's getting canceled in one season.
Also a rather large chunk of The Batman was rather rough, with Season 4 being the only standout season comparable to the DCAU. Although we can be greatful The Batman never sank to Ultimate Spiderman kind of lows. Teen Titans Go is also an insult to the original Teen Titans from 2003, which mixed humor and action brilliantly. And I'll say it again, most Marvel cartoons. You can count the number of good Marvel shows worth watching on one hand. |

It's not an insult to the show; it's an insult to crazy people who take cartoons personally. So you, basically.

He doesn't take cartoons 'personally' per se, he simply wants them do the franchise justice and be worthy of the name. I haven't seen either Teen Titans show so have no vested interest in this. I've noticed that you have a penchant for calling people crazy. |

I'd also like to bring up the new Simpsons as well. Like someone said, every once in a while, there's a pretty good episode. A good example is the latest with the funeral and the regrets. I swear, I haven't laughed that hard at a Simpsons episode in a LOOOONG time.

That was the problem with The Batman, only half of the seasons of the show were good. Most of Season 1 was poor except the Clayface episodes, and I remember much of Season 3 with batgirl being hit or miss.
The Season 5 was also kinda meh, nothing too special. The Batman was a decent show for what it was, but coming directly after B:TAS made it obvious how dumbed down the characters and storylines were for kids. |

Batman cant hold a show on his own, he needs the colorful enemies to carry it for him, because dark and slient does not really move stuff along story wise I think. Batman is still great, but like every one, You cant relie on him alone to make the show stand. I saw so much greatness that COULD have been if they did it right. |
