The Action Cartoons Thread

^^^ Alerting J.T.

It’s going to be sad when no one watches it, because it’s not based on anything, and there probably isn’t an interest for what us essentially Conan The Caveman. I have a feeling though that gif’s of this will go viral, and it will somehow develop an audience from there.

Awesome experience finishing Ducktales S2 with the 7 year old. I'm not sure I've ever seen her so continuously entertained by any single episode of anything before. It was really good. Great season.

[Eivion]

So looking forward to where they go next season with F.O.W.L. I hope it means we get more DW next season.

[Bustronaut]

I'm sorry, but nothing can top the two Phooey Duck references/sightings in this season.

Found the Totally Turtles channel on Pluto, watched 3 eps of the 03 4Kids series (still my favorite Turtles, though 2012 has grown on me and I need to watch more of it). It frustrates me that a scheduled, ad-supported channel (no on-demand) is the only way to watch that show without risking malware. Put it on Prime for sale, put it on Nicksplat, just do something that will let nostalgic old farts watch it again without the frustration of seeing the ep you want airing at 2am.

So, Night Flight Plus just put up the entire Double Dragon animated series. Does anybody remember if it's any good?

The 90s show? I was always super excited for it as a kid but no way can it possibly be good.

I always liked the opening. As far as quality goes I don't have memory of it being anything great. With 90s cartoon and stories I remember stuff like DCAU Spider-man, X-men, & Mighty Max the most.

90s was a toon tv Renaissance, thanks largely Señor Spielbergo (animaniacs, freakazoid, tiny toons) and CN (dexter, ppg, ....)

(I had to check if Kim possible and Fillmore were 90s or 00s.)

Batman meets the Batman of Zur-en-Arrh in Batman: The Brave and the Bold. One of my favourite episodes behind the Mayhem of the Music Meister. A fun series.

Not a big Wonder Woman fan by any means, but Wonder Woman: Bloodlines is a really good watch.

I'll give it a go, thanks. Have you watched Wonder Woman released in 2009? That's great.

If you have a girl in between the ages of 5 and 10, Tangled: the Series is really quite good. The start of season 3 was actually a minor kick to the teeth.

[Eivion]

Caught Teen Titans Go vs. Teen titans Saturday. It was super fun and about as perfect as it could be.

Watched the first 3 episodes of Seis Manos. Not super impressed so far though its not outright terrible or anything. I do wish they mentioned the time frame instead of just leaving you to figure it out. Beyond that something about it just feels off to me in terms of how it progresses so far.

[odessasteps]

The new WW dvd has a (gaiman’s) Death short on it. Have not heard anything about its quality, pro or con.

Batman from Batman: The Animated Series, The New Batman Adventures and Batman of the Future as its called in the UK.

The pinnacle of Batman, Batman: The Animated Series.

[Eivion]

Finished Seis Manos a couple of nights ago. Thought it turned into a solid show overall.

[The Natural]

I knew Nick Spencer had taste with the above and his writing in The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 5)/The Superior Foes of Spider-Man.

[The Natural]

We all think this when we see condiments!

Harley Quinn ep 1:

 

Great voice cast.  Diedrich Bader playing Batman in an even sillier world than BatB is rad.  Kaley Cuoco (Harley), Lake Bell (Ivy), Alan Tudyk (Joker) and Jim Rash (Riddler) are all amazing.  Would not have recognized Christopher Meloni as Gordon if I hadn't seen the cast list.  I like the setup, love Ivy having a very Audrey II-esque man-eating plant as the world's worst roommate, love the Riddler's big plot.  Some of the violence is less "funny horrifying" and more "what the fuck", like when Mortal Kombat went from severed heads and gouts of blood to cutting the front third off someone's face so you can see their brain and mouth cavity.  I lost count of the number of "bone poking through a wound" shots and it's a bit much.  Still, the dialogue is really fun and I'm down to see   I'm in for at least one or two more episodes, because the dialogue is great and I want to know if Ron Funches will get to sing the King Shark Song, but if you have a weak stomach this is nearly Guyver OVA-level gross-out.
