    "X-Men '97" Season One Talkback (Spoilers)

    "Bright Eyes" - So a weird concern I had was knowing this was going to be the last episode of the season before the three part finale that it was going to be another episode not really focusing that much on the whole aftermath in Genosha and was going to be like an episode focused in the future...

    Animation Domination on FOX 2023-2024 Season Talkback (Spoilers)

    The Simpsons "Cremains Of The Day" - Okay I know the Simpsons isn't a continuity based show and is very episodic and hell even "The Many Saints of Springfield" made a joke on how sometimes they totally forget plot points and character beats they set up earlier that didn't wind up going anywhere...

    "Deadpool & Wolverine" News & Discussion Thread, Part 1 (Spoilers)

    I could be wrong but the way they phrased it in the trailer of "this Wolverine let his world die" makes it feel like though this is Hugh Jackman this isn't the specific Wolverine from like the regular X-Men movies but rather a different variant, probably another reason why he's in the yellow...

    So when and how did Harley become the "Cosplay Darling" of the DC Pantheon again?

    You have to remember that Harley Quinn was insanely popular as a character literally in her debut all the way back in 1992. Granted it'd not like she was this huge cosplay icon right out of the gate (then again con cosplay wasn't nearly as much a thing in the early 90's as it obviously has...

    Voice actors you hear less often now?

    You know the reruns of Cow and Chicken on CN's Checkered Past reminded me how much Charlie Adler was around who I feel like as a kid was one of the first VAs I really picked up on having a distinct voice that though versatile you could always sort of tell it was him. Rocko's Modern Life, Sonic...

    One Piece Manga 582+: "The New Era Begins!" (Spoilers)

    OP 1112 is out.... I guess I also didn't do 1111 but you who really cares at this point right? Because there's a bigger problem i want to talk about before going into the bits I like about them because.... I think Oda's ambition about how much stuff he wants to cram into one arc is making it...

    "X-Men '97" Season One Talkback (Spoilers)

    "Lifedeath Part Two" - Based on the titles of the episodes, I knew this week we weren't really going to focus a lot on the fallout from Genosha (which obviously is still there and gets a bit of traction but not the focus) and rather more on what happened with Storm. Wasn't expecting the other...

    "Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)" Pre-Release News and Discussion (Spoilers)

    Yeah if it's posted by the Hollywood Reporter it's pretty much 100% official and quite honestly I am super hyped about that considering.... well this is literally who I've WANTED to play Shadow going on two years so I am so glad he is getting the role. Granted though it's been hinted that the...

    "Smiling Friends" News & Discussion Thread

    The creators admitted that their budget for ALL of season one was about the amount of ONE episode currently of Family Guy so I'm pretty sure for season 2 now that the series has proven itself to be a hit they were given a lot more to work with and are obviously using it well. I just hope that...

    Avatar Studios Projects - News and Discussion (Spoilers)

    Eh isn't that the same for like EVERY VA who replaces someone specifically known for that role? I guess there are the very very rare exceptions where they go in a totally new direction not even really trying to sound the same (Tracy Morgan taking over for Unknown Hinson as Early in...

    "X-Men '97" Season One Talkback (Spoilers)

    "Remember It" - Like I said last week a big issue with the Storm/Forge stuff sans how it was super rushed in it's pacing was that there really is no history for the super big dramatic moments they were trying to hit with these characters. It's pretty clear 97 wants to cover the melodrama that...

    "Joker: Folie à Deux" Film News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Full Teaser Trailer is out You know sans the musical sequences a lot of this plays like the first teaser of the first movie but honestly not in a super obnoxious repetitive way but rather "Arthur is actually finding this connection he was seeking out in the first movie and we'll see the...

    "X-Men '97" Season One Talkback (Spoilers)

    "Motendo/Lifedeath Part One" - This is a very weird comparison to make but Adult Swim just aired the season two Smiling Friends premiere early and a big point of that episode was about helping this satire of a 90's video game character with a lot of references and homages to video games and how...

    C&C - Puppet Friends [4/1]

    I'm guessing each episode playing for this April Fools will be a variation of the puppet look considering the next one scheduled is "Charlie Dies and Doesn't Come Back". I do have to say this is certainly one of the most out there ideas and only works for a show like Smiling Friends that though...

    Futurama: 25th Anniversary

    A big reason why Futurama was really right out the box solid (let's face it; though there is a charm of season 1 of the Simpsons it would not of caught on as well if it wasn't literally the first more modern family animated sitcom thus there was a novelty there that lasted long enough for the...

    Animation Domination on FOX 2023-2024 Season Talkback (Spoilers)

    Man are The Simpsons "Clan Of The Cave Mom" and Family Guy's "Lifeguard Meg" such polar opposites. I know that's a weird thing to say without context since yeah clearly both obviously have very different plots without really much connection but I meant how one is actually really interesting...

    Is there any sequel animated series you would to see?

    Same and with how much buzz and viewership X-Men 97 is getting that seems like the most likely candidate for a sequel revival. Like maybe after Freshman year is off the ground we'll hear something more. And though it is super greedy to ask for a revival of the 90's series AND Spectacular...

    "The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story" Animated Short Talkback (Spoilers)

    I have to admit visually this is very impressive especially when all those spiders explode out and we see Miles crawling all around his room in the day dream and the idea itself is good. I do feel a problem is that since this is obviously set BETWEEN Into and Across The Spiderverse the whole...

    "X-Men '97" Season One Talkback (Spoilers)

    "Fire Made Flesh" You know it occurs to me that the first episode "To Me My X-Men" even if you weren't really aware of the original series at all you could go into it enough and still get the right amount of information and point to still enjoy it. Yeah the whole "Professor Xaiver is dead and...

    Rare occasions of voice actors onscreen in a live action role.

    I'm pretty sure that is either Fagerbakke's more normal voice albeit exaggerated or a variation of his silly/dumb voice which yeah is mostly associated with Patrick NOW but the guy has done major acting roles before that in live action. He was one of the main characters in Coach and part of the...

    "X-Men '97" Season One Talkback (Spoilers)

    You know I don't think we talk enough about how well... not seriously super hero animation was taken at all for so long. Yes since the 60's there were were super hero cartoons but they were seen mostly just as disposal entrees you really would only get any investment of if you were a kid or a...

    "Penguin (HBO Max Series)" News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    I mean DC is going to try and self promote themselves higher then their competition to try and generate the most views. I guess you could argue this isn't the best time to really try that but you know it will at least get some attention back on them. I also get the feeling that since they...

    In Defense of Uncle Grandpa and Secret Mountain Fort Awesome

    I'm not sure that's really a fair comparison. First off even before Uncle Grandpa you had shows like The Amazing World of Gumball which even in it's first couple of seasons was still a big hit for the network which was always a slice of life comedic goofball show that didn't involve really have...

    "Star Trek" Television Series News & Discussion

    You know I was going to ask "wait aren't there only two shows in production now with Discovery and Prodigy ending this year" but yeah Starfleet Academy is also in production now and likely they want to see how that does before greenlighting another show.

    One Piece Manga 582+: "The New Era Begins!" (Spoilers)

    Sorry if... anyone else is reading this and was wondering what took me so long to get to the review. I don't know just didn't get in the mood till now blah blah anyway here it is. So One Piece chapter 1110 starts with more of that cover page story. Do like the expression that Momosuke is...

    Rick And Morty Anime In Development

    Yeah it was specifically said the first season of this (well I don't know if there will be more then one season) would drop sometime in 2024 because regular R&M season 8 due to the writers strike is only going to be done in 2025. I don't know when it's dropping maybe later in the year like...

    Adult Revivals of Fox Kids shows

    As Fone Bone pointed out, the Animaniacs revival on Hulu isn't an Adult series. Rather it's doing what the original series did and generally being a kids show with a lot of innuendo and references you'd really only get as an adult. The only difference is thanks to Hulu regulations being a lot...

    "The Boy and the Heron" Talkback (Spoilers)

    Also this was the first movie since Spirited Away to be a traditional hand drawn film to win best picture and third overall (counting Del Toro's Pinocchio) that wasn't CG so props on that. Again not my favorite (I do feel Spider-Verse was the best but I think Spider Verse not having an ending...

    "Peacemaker (Max Series)" News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Let's face it; Good as The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker were at points, it's clear that Gunn even at the time due to having the freedom to write mostly whatever he wanted was writing them with his OWN idea of a DC Universe. I don't think he ever thought he'd wind up in charge of DC but I think...

    "Teen Titans Go!" Season Eight Talkback (Spoilers)

    I will give credit to the TTG! team since at this point with how long CN has kept this series going they are fine with experimenting more and more with giving focus to other characters and odd pairings. And you know as gimmicky as the idea of "hey Starfire wants to go on this mission around the...

    RIP Akira Toriyama, Creator of Dragon Ball

    Same which is why I'm going to make these points quick 1. Having another idea that wasn't part of the originally plan and switching it out the last second is different then having to do another idea because forces beyond your control enforced that demand on you. 2. Buu being the final arc...

    RIP Akira Toriyama, Creator of Dragon Ball

    I don't want to harp on this too long as there are obviously more important things to talk about here, but I did want to point this out real quick 1. Switching the villains in the Android Saga was not actually something Toriyama improvised but rather was something more forced on him by the...

    Do you prefer cartoons with idealistic or cynical natures?

    I feel like KaiserLemon is off on calling The Legend Of Korra a cynical show. Are Ed Edd n Eddy and Invader Zim cynical shows? Yes, totally but Legend of Korra though having very cynical and darker moments (even compared to Avatar) ultimately is about pushing past those for a happy more upbeat...

    "Teen Titans Go!" News & Discussion Thread, Part 3 (Spoilers)

    Even ignoring the fact I doubt DC would ever allow more direct crossovers with their kid and adult series (TTG! gets away with a lot but that may be a bridge too far), I don't think that would work because it would be primarily written by the TTG! team and I don't think they'd capture HQ's...

    "Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix, Live-Action)" Season One Talkback (Spoilers)

    "Legends" - One last time people! NEGATIVES - So like does THIS version of the series hate not only old mentor figures actually showcasing themselves as incredibly capable but also on them actually passing on proper wisdom to the next generation? Since you know the point of Pakku sans being a...

    "Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix, Live-Action)" Season One Talkback (Spoilers)

    "The North" - Blah blah blah opening title NEGATIVES - Okay I am glad that unlike the Shamalayan movie that I guess didn't have time for this, they actually are going into the whole "The Northern Water Tribe is fairly sexist and stuck in their ways and won't allow women to train in the art of...

    One Piece Manga 582+: "The New Era Begins!" (Spoilers)

    One Piece 1109. There's a cover story starting Onigashima finally that starts in the sunken part of Wano... until we see characters involved hard to know or care what's even happening there. Sorry if I sound annoyed but you know Oda keeps saying how we are in the endgame of One Piece and how...

    "Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix, Live-Action)" Season One Talkback (Spoilers)

    "Masks" - Hey kids once again it's time for going over the bad and good with... NEGATIVES - Though there have been the stray comparison here and there, for a lot of the past few episodes I haven't made more direct comparisons with Shamalayan's film because well episodes 2-5 for the most part...

    "Marvel Animation on Disney+" News & Discussion (Spoilers)

    100% agree on that. This is supposed to be a revival and yeah especially with how apprehensive people are more in general on reboots, Hollywood should be better at being able to separate the two terms and use them properly to hype up projects better. Ehhhh that one I actually disagree with...

    "Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix, Live-Action)" Season One Talkback (Spoilers)

    "Spirited Away" - Time once again to into what didn't work and what did work starting out with NEGATIVES - You know I was debating on how much of a negative this one is considering there are a fair amount of aspects I like about it but when we got to the end of how Gyatso was tying it into the...
