Holy DC fanboyism Batman!! I gotta disagree with ya on this one TFG1Mike (some Love for Marvel would be Nice Considering the only good thing to come out of DC is Batman/Bat Universe and yes i know they got a lil love with WatXM Podcast) I will agree i do dig some of the DC animation stuff(some of it is overrated!!*cough Superman cough*) But this Cartoon trumps over JL and JLU anyday….Just because it confuses u does’nt mean it sucks….Besides I can’t tell you how many time i was watching JL or JLU and i was hella confused but i never thought it sucked….Watch the whole first season( read some of the COMICS!!) and catch up on the 2nd then get back to me….Oh and Def check out some of the MUA Movies I think you’ll be pleasantly suprised….
Holy jeez you actually commented on a post that had nothing to do with Nickelback.
I DO NOT READ COMICS! I love comics and read them as a kid, but I just can’t get into them as an adult.
The Marvel Direct To DVD Movies suck, they just do.
I love the Marvel characters as individuals, not counting X-Men, because they are the only team from marvel animation I like. I do enjoy most of Spider-Man’s cartoons, Iron Man, and more. I just have never gotten into the Avengers team up thing. Well besides the film that was just released, but in animation the Avengers have had such a bad history. I’m sure Avengers: EMH gets better, but I’ll have to find out wayyy down the line.
As it was stated in the episode I was confused, because I did not know that the first ten episodes were made up of the shorts. I still have yet to go back and watch more of Avengers: EMH, but I will someday.
The DCAU was amazing and still is to this day. JL/JLU was very well executed, and the storylines made sense to me.
While I enjoyed the podcast episode I must say I really dig Avengers EMH. It’s one of Marvels best cartoon shows in quite awhile. I felt the mini episodes that began the season played the same role the Marvels movies did in establishing the characters. Once they all came together the show really took off. Perhaps what I’m most impressed with is the blending of the Marvel cinematic universe, with the classic and the new age comic stories. I haven’t watched Season 2, but the first season laid the ground work for the Secret Invasion storyline as well as the Civil War story line. Can’t wait to see how it plays out.
Regarding the Marvel DVD films as a whole I think they have been rather inconsistent. Dr. Strange and Hulk Vs. are the best ones so far IMO. I think the Ultimate Avengers ones are ok but ultimately pointless. The Ultimates comic was created to make a more adult version of the Avengers, so making a family friend version of that comic completely diverges from the original purpose. Avengers EMH is by far better than both of those films.
Ugh well then i guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree…..oh and BTW not all of the DCU Direct to DVD movies have been that great either(Batman GK sucked so did All Star Supes.along with a few others……The only ones i really dug was Green Lantern EK.(mostly for the Laira/Mogo/First Lantern storys) Batman UtRH(The Joker/Batman could’ve had a better voice actors) and JL CoTE/TNF. Those where the best ones in my opinion overall GL is a pretty weak character anyway.(Really? His weakness is yellow? and he has to recharge his ring=Lame)……Oh and the 15 min DC Showcase animated Catwoman short…..The rest where meh…Are u as excited as I am for TDK Returns?….Oh and fuck Jeph Loeb and Disney for ruining Avengers EMH to make a more kid friendly version of the show to go with the new shitty Spider-Man cartoon which BTW DON”T EVER WATCH IT!!!. It sucks harder then a Mexican whore at a Donkey show……
OK and maybe we got our wires crossed here. You said JL/JLU. Which to me meant the DCAU cartoon series like BTAS Batman Beyond STAS and more. The DC Universe Animated Original Movies are a whole different animal.
We even stated in the DC Universe Film Spotlight in Season 1 of Toon Beyond which ones sucked, and which ones were great.
But if you meant the TV Series Justice League, that series was awesome overall, yes it had a few bad episodes, but I loved it all the way through.
