You Want Superman Revamp? [Also the Man of Steel (2013) thread]

haha yup, it's all on hulu I think http://www.hulu.com/search?q=exosquad

I was so happy the day like 5 years ago when I found a torrent of exosquad .rm's even though they were .rm's

the tiny toons and then animaniacs pop culture madlibs style of writing just comes off as so hacky and lame now. loved it back then because it made me feel clued in, but it doesn't hold up

cant think of a joke? just make a reference to a random celebrity and ship it off to the worst animation studio in korea. steven spielberg put his name on this crap

freakazoid was the shit though

freakazoid, like the tick, was a little above my pay grade at the time

still kinda mystified that there was a live action tick show?

yes

i approve of BTAS derail

the tick cartoon did a great job of capturing that 90s independent comics feel. i never watched the live action one but yes it is incredibly weird that it existed

It was on Netflix last time i saw. Pretty awesome. Puddy from Seinfeld is the perfect Tick.

it was unembarrassed to be a children's entertainment, but it didn't talk down to kids either

superhero movies should strike this tone imo, viz superman 1

the only new superman i have any interest in seeing is a live action adaptation of morrison's superman beyond 3d. i don't get the nerd fuss over this new trailer.

i actually own the entire batman animated series in a box set but i've never seen it

WHAT

GET THE FUCK OFF THE INTERNET AND FIRE UP THAT DVD PLAYER FFS

We should talk about Batman Beyond more, if that had been out when I was a kid it would have messed me up

As an adult though its just "this is gripping enough that I can enjoy this with my son"

Also: THE FUTURE IS CREEPY

BaBey started airing when i was like 14. i watched a little of it when it started but i wasnt really fucking with cartoons for the rest of HS

I remember telling adults to watch BTAS and being really annoyed by their cavalier dismissal. Parents just don't understand.

i watched a little of it when it started but i wasnt really fucking with cartoons for the rest of HS

if only i could have said this

Live action Tick was A+.

my brother watched Batman Beyond as faithfully as TAS but i just wasn't having it, the whole thing seemed like a terrible idea to me

So Phantasm is great? I remember it getting good reviews when it came out...

it is awesome

it's.... phantastic http://i49.tinypic.com/33wy4au.jpg

still kinda mystified that there was a live action tick show?

I've never seen either TV version but how on earth is it weirder that there's a live-action version starring Puddy than that there was a cartoon?

I've seen two Ben Edlund eps of Angel though, they were dope iirc

live action Tick was not as good as the toon but very good

Cartoon was great

whats the deal with batman beyond

i watched the first few episodes when it started and it was pretty good

the bit that sticks w/ me is from this episode where the bad guys implant something in bruce wayne's brain and try to like make him think hes crazy w/ voices in his head and he gets locked up in the hospital. and at the end the new batman is like "how did you know that you werent crazy and werent actually hearing voices?" and wayne is like "in my head i dont call myself bruce wayne." END. it was a v well done Moment

Kevin Conroy: BEST BATMAN EVER.

If any of you are feeling masochistic, try tracking down a podcast ILX favourite Kevin Smith did a while back with Conroy in which: 1) Smith breaks down in tears recounting his favourite Conroy-as-Batman scene 2) has Conroy use his Batman voice to tell him he's the best and the critics are all wrong.

well now i hate u kevin conroy

just kidding, i could never

i would probably cry if I talked to conroy to. loved that damn cartoon.

*too

It's not the crying I object to, it's Kevin Smith.

oh no, i know

yeah, i think that was p clear

besides, it's ilx, what else could u possibly have meant

i don't think i'll ever cry again, the whole thing has been tainted by Kevin Smith now

good going some dude, I hope everyone is prepared for 150 posts full of "Kevin Smith's taint" jokes

RIP cry

can we just talk about cartoon batman some more and forget the notion of kevin smith's taint-stained jorts

max otm, i hope

most encouraging thing about this to me is the score in the trailer is pretty good.

In keeping with the thread topic and the thread derail, Superman:TAS is one of my favorite depictions of Superman. They need to make a movie in that spirit, not the emo, teal + orange POS this new movie appears to be. STOP WITH THE EMO SUPES ALREADY FFS.

well now i hate u strongo

old lunch I uncovered evidence that you hated batman: TAS, u are banished into the hinterlands and ur opinions are categorically invalidated
