Animation...from the Weeessssssssssssssssssssst

Jacobkosh · October 2010

The new DC movies aren't connected to the DC Animated Universe in any way except being done by many of the same writers and animators, but some of them are really good. In rough order I'd suggest checking out

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
Batman: Under the Red Hood
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
Justice League: New Frontier
Green Lantern: First Flight
Wonder Woman
Superman: Doomsday

and the recently released Superman/Batman: Apocalypse is supposed to be pretty good.

Antimatter · October 2010

I've actually heard that Apocalypse was a mediocre movie based on a terrible comic. I mean, Jeph Loeb.

Jacobkosh · October 2010

Jeph Loeb is awful but it's not like he wrote the screenplay. Public Enemies was also based on a story he did but was actually pretty fun.

Orochi_Rockman · October 2010

A mouth on Optimus Prime makes me so very, very sad.

LockedOnTarget · October 2010

he had a mouth in Transformers Animated and it was fine. As long as he has his iconic battle mask I don't really care.

Lanz · October 2010

I think the problem is that it's not so much a "mouth" but a... hole that seems to just open and close in undetailed 90s-era CGI Metal.

It was not fine.

Antimatter · October 2010

He had a face inspired by Optimus Primal, the best Optimus there was. I can dig it.

Lanz · October 2010

The scary thing is it's actually looking like Beast Wars may wind up looking more advanced in the animation department than this one does

CrownAxe · October 2010

So in the new Scooby-Doo did Fred really go to a blood bank and spill blood all over himself thinking it was juice?

DanHibiki · October 2010

also it's the lack of nose and huge eyes. Just looks terrible.

I liked that first Batman/Superman movie. Particularly the scene where Harley Quinn gets into a fistfight with Lex Luthor's bodyguard. :winky:

Oh my dear lord yes. Fantastic stuff, and it's what made Super/Bats team-ups cool again.

Jragghen, you'll hit that one on the Superman set.

CrownAxe · October 2010

So tonight's Regular Show was ridiculous, especially with cannibal hot dogs and Mordecai's dream.

Like par for the course ridiculous or extra ridiculous?

There are also no lips.

It is literally a mouth hole with vague "teeth" behind it.

I honestly have no idea what they were thinking here

Not extra, but it has its own special brand in my opinion.

LadyM · October 2010

So, Lauren Faust (worked on PowerPuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends--I guess she's actually married to the guy who started those shows) just started a new My Little Pony show on Hub (used to be Discovery Kids) and it is faaaaantastic.

Yeah, I see you giving me those o_O looks, but seriously, if you liked PowerPuff Girls you should take a look. Nice animation (reminiscent of PPG) and kind of a D&D-ish feel. (Starts with a creation myth, ends with a goddess of darkness laughing evilly about how she's going to destroy the sun.)

Haha, that's awesome. It actually looks pretty good.

I was listening to the latest nerdist podcast and I came across this fine collage on the website.

If you are a child of the 80's or a child of the 90's who watched tons of Nickolodean and early Cartoon Network this should be cool.

Spoiler:

You want a tribute?

How's this?

Uh. Looks good. :oops: If it was linked I'd click it or if I saw it on TV I wouldn't change the channel.

That's... actually really good. Not sold on the eyes, but the animation is so smooth I don't care.

Jintor · October 2010

I have to admit I really liked the bit where the younger sister suddenly became an EVIL MAREEEEEEEEEEE

This is the first good show for girls in ages. The writing is solid. The animation better.

Kastanj · October 2010

Now I am just crossing my fingers this cartoon gets accepted by the core demographic, even if it doesn't have anorexic super-sorceress-princess-teens in spandex that have princely boyfriends.

Because, seriously, I could watch this with my little cousin and not want to chew my arm off. There was pretty much nothing in there that made me cringe or roll my eyes.

A bit saccharine overall, but nothing insulting or moronic. Good VA work as well.

Bedlam · October 2010

Am I way off or was that Buttercup as the pegasus?

I liked Batman Beyond better than TAS. Largely because Bruce as an old man was the best character in existence.

And Return of the Joker was Fantastic.

So many great old man Bruce moments in Beyond.
"Who do you think you're talking to old man, we're the jokerz"
"Sure you are" Old man kicks a bunch of ass

The best though,

"How were you sure you weren't crazy?"
"The voice called me Bruce. Thats not what I call myself in my head."

Not just and EVIL MAREEEEEEEEEEE, but an EVIL MAREEEEEEEEEEE OF DARKNESS!!!

The blue pegasus is totally Buttercup. She has the same eyes and everything.

Oh, this half has Night Mare Moon. Who is awesome.

I have to admit, the Pony cartoon is quite well done.

DanHibiki · October 2010

Is this Pony thing some sort of elaborate viral campaign for Diablo 3?

Ooooh, I like her. She has a real Maleficent-vibe going on, but in Pony-form.

Ninjabear · October 2010

The MLP cartoon looks good. Reminds me of the Krypto cartoon from a few years back in that it's not for me but kids might like it.

maximumzero · October 2010

My god I didn't know Hulu had such a sizable animation section.

http://www.hulu.com/channels/Animation-and-Cartoons

They have subtitled episodes of Sonic X for god's sake. I never though I'd see it in it's original form as long as 4Kids held the rights.

Dude, I can fix this.

Tim Curry is always a welcome surprise.

Also, that's some epic arm-crossing.
