Unfortunatly most of the stuff on The Seed are like 6 - 7 min long. There's a Veronica Mars spin-off on there that's currently up to 9 episodes. They're ALL short like that.

I really don't see what's so complicated about this. To YOU, it "makes sense" for "social justice warrior"-type reasons. Fine, but that doesn't mean it actually does make sense from a logic or business perspective. It's just, "Eh, let's throw some sh*t at the wall."

It's seriously not complicated. Those other characters at least had a dedicated fanbase before they went "mainstream". Not this one. If they picked almost ANY other character, it would have been a "smarter" choice. That's the facts whether you agree with them or not.

You're playing armchair CEO of a company of an industry you don't understand. You can bet there were a lot of decisions taken to give this obscure unknown black female hero a cartoon and reasons why it was chosen over other heroes, I already told you my personal theories on why they probably didn't choose any other heroes for this animated show, its a risk they're willing to take and they want to go with a market they've never tried to tap before, it was either this or NO cartoon of any superhero whatsoever since they weren't interested.

Hell I didn't really want a Vixen cartoon and would've wanted another but based on the quality of the other DC shows the CW has done and they're willing to introduce cool stuff that isn't as popular makes me happy to check it out. Seems like you're only mad because they aren't making a cartoon of a superhero you like.

Katie Cassidy (Black Canary) posted this on Facebook. Judging by the artstyle compared to the first two images, some are speculating this is for the Vixen show.

Spoiler:

[M.O.D.O.K.]

I'm liking Black Canary's design, but Oliver looks worse. The eyes are all messed up, the bow and arrow are too small, and he needs some gloves.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I do NOT like that art style. At all.

That looks nothing like what they posted of Vixen.

It also looks like they've gone back and did some minor changes to the designs since the first promo images:

Looked up some info on Megalyn. Her grandfather's a leader of the Igbo tribe in Nigeria.

Fun fact: Actor Chiwetel Ejiofor who was cast as Baron Mordo in Doctor Strange is ALSO of the Igbo tribe!

Not for nothin' but it's bizarre how pale she is. That's... not what she looks like, traditionally. I kinda don't like that, it's kind of like they don't think people would like the character if she was "really" black the way she's supposed to be.

I'unno. Over-thinking it I know. I just know when I looked at that I had no idea that was supposed to be her at first and that's odd.

EDIT: Actually it looks like it's just the lighting in some of the shots doing that. Still weird though. The art style is nice but the coloring is... "weird" and kind of washed-out.

Her skin is much noticeable lighter than it was back on Justice League Unlimited.

Yea...that's my only complaint...she was really dark in JLA.....

but with diversity....we can't be too picky sadly. *sigh*
