    "Young Justice" News & Discussion Thread, Part 27 (Spoilers)

    I wonder if the powers that be ever considered or maybe possibly thinking about continuing YJ as a DTV franchise. I'm sure the films would sell well considering the strong support YJ still has. It would be a huge breath of fresh air compared to the endless Batman and Superman films.

    "Justice League Action" News & Discussion Thread, Part 1 (Spoilers)

    I'm looking forward to this. I don't mind a light hearted series as long as the humor is intelligent. I don't want to see Teen Titans Go 2.0. As for Young Justice, I mentioned this idea a while ago on here but it's mind boggling the powers that be haven't at least considered continuing the...

    "The Legend of Korra" News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Romance is fine as long as it's done well, and is a minor part of the story which it wasn't for both books. Not only was the romance angle beyond awful, it took over the main plot for book one and a majority of book 2. Book 2 in general should have been focused only on Korra, her family, and the...

    "The Legend of Korra" News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    If they don't understand why people have an issue with the love triangle and other pointless subplots replacing more interesting concepts such as world building and actual character development by now then that's all the more reason they should step aside and have real writers handle the story...

    "The Legend of Korra" News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    We don't know for sure that the other three books will be set in Republic City. All we know for certain is that half of Book 2 will be set there. And no Korra and Asami were never friends. She instantly resents her at first meeting her because she's with Mako who she has a crush on. Korra does...

    "The Legend of Korra" News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Oh please, yes ATLA had romance but it was put in the background where it belonged. It didn't take over the main plot and was shoved in our face like it was on Korra. The romance and love triangle were unnecessary, period. It was added into the story to pander to fans of the "shipping" craze...

    "The Legend of Korra" News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    I could care less about the ending at this point because they're three more books still ahead. Book 1 in my opinion was okay but had a lot of wasted potential. We didn't need romance. We didn't need a love triangle. None of those things added anything to the main plot. In fact, both things...

    "The Legend of Korra" News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    I'm not really that optimistic on book 2 being much of an improvement. Especially since Bryke seems to dismiss all criticism of book 1 as " we'll, we can't please everybody". I can only hope the actual professional writers working with them are brutally honest with them.

    "The Legend of Korra" News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Can you blame them with how corny that promo was. You could tell they really didn't want to be a part of it but they didn't have a choice.

    "The Legend of Korra" News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    That's true somewhat but none of the main characters received any real development. Korra sure didn't. I would say Lin and to a extent Tenzin were the only ones who truly developed over the season and they were side characters. Lin was really the only character I gave a damn about in the show...

    "The Legend of Korra" News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Working on all three books at once is a really brutal schedule. This most likely means Bryke will hire additional writers to takeover the scripts. I'm not trying to be mean but, thank god. I'm not all that optimistic that Book 2 will be much of an improvement over Book 1 but with actual...

    "Young Justice" News & Discussion Thread, Part 24 (Spoilers)

    I'm disappointed that YJ is cancelled as well. I think the main problem was that they kept trying to market YJ as a kids show when it never really appealed to kids. I think they should bring the show back as a recurring DTV series. That way YJ will reach the teenage and young adult fanbase...

    The Fate of 2D Animated Films at Disney?

    I've said this before a couple times. Hand-drawn animation won't ever be as big as it was for Disney as long as they use it to keep rehashing the past. Winnie the Pooh was a answer to a question nobody asked, and Princess and the Frog comes off as a film they made in the 90's, lost in a...

    How long do you think Jeopardy and Wheel of fortune will continue to go on? Will they find new hosts

    You're right. The original verison of Jeopardy was hosted by Art Fleming and it ran from 1964 to 1975. Thing is though people today are much more familiar with the current verison (not suprising since it has been on the air for over twice as long). I disagree about Vanna still looking youthful...

    How long do you think Jeopardy and Wheel of fortune will continue to go on? Will they find new hosts

    I've enjoyed watching both game shows over the years and I was impressed and how long both shows have been on the air. Jeopardy has been on for 28 years now and Wheel has been on for 30. I'm curious on whether the producers thought about future replacements for the hosts or if they're...

    Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish to air on The Hub!

    I tend to agree mostly with this. Also they would need Speilberg's permission to air the shows since he co-owns them. I read somewhere recently that at one time Hasbro was in talks with WB Animation to air their new content on the Hub instead of CN. That means that if Hasbro had their way, shows...

    The Legend of Korra "Welcome to Republic City" / "A Leaf in the Wind" Talkback [Online 3/24/12] [TV

    I agree.It was smart of Mike and Bryan to make us wait because it's important to establish the new world and characters first. I remember reading in a interview that they said each season or "book" in this series will have a different story and conflict unlike A:TLA, which had an overarching...

    The Animation Graveyard: Shows we will never hear from again.

    I don't know if the following have been mentioned yet but I have a few. The Zeta Project: This was the first and only original project in the DCAU. This series would only last 13 episodes because Bruce Timm and co were streched too thin working on this, Superman TAS, and Batman Beyond at the...

    Toon Zone Talkback - Wall Street Disappointment in DreamWorks Animation Receipts for "Kung Fu Panda

    Like other posters have already said DWA still has a negative image from the films they made in the past. Granted, they have made great strides when it comes to quality recently but people still think of DWA as a second rate, bush league studio that makes obnoxious films. A good reputation isn't...

    Toon Zone Talkback - "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" Getting CGI TV Show via Moonscoop

    good points. i think a sightly more serious reboot could do well if it was well executed. the producers just need to balance mature elements with a sense of light hearted adventure and fun and they'll do fine. It shouldn't just be an over the top angst fest. one thing that worries me a little is...

    "The Legend of Korra" News & Discussion Thread

    I'm going to side with light lucario on this one. I'll wait until either Nick themselves or someone involved in the series confirms wheter the rumor is true or not. To me the whole thing seems too farfetched. For one the two sources where the rumor came from are suspect. Two, why would...

    Batman TAS to Air on The Hub!

    i'm glad that B:TAS is back on television. I'm curious though, will the hub purchase all 85 episodes of the series of just the first 52 like Disney did? It would be nice if they showed the 24 episodes of TNBA as well.

    The '90s Are all That Adds Two New Shows to its Programming

    That's good to hear. I like both hey arnold and rocko. I never really cared of clarissa all that much. Watching it recently I have to say that show has not aged well at all. They made the mistake of trying too hard to follow the fads of that time which automatically dated the show. As for doug...

    Disney Fires Marvel Marketing Division

    I agree. Marvel, like Pixar, as something of a brain trust of filmakers of their own which is why their films as of late have been consistently solid. Disney leaves Pixar alone as far as creative freedom goes so I doubt they would start meddling with Marvel now. I think they now better than to...

    "Disney's The Lone Ranger" Pre-Release Discussion (Spoilers)

    I did a double take when i saw the budget or John Carter. $300M is ridiculous for an unproven film. I hate to say it but judging from the trailer this film looks really generic. It doesn't really look any better than the other big budget, empty, FX heavy popcorn flicks like Transformers. It's...

    So are kids nowadays just too different to...

    C'mon man you're painting a big brush, ha. You don't think kids of this generation won't be nostalgic over Avatar:TLA or Invader Zim. There are good and bad shows in every decade, even the 90's. I'm a 90's kid myself so please don't take my post as condesceding. There were plenty of bland...

    WB's Silver Age Cartoons Not On Boomerang? Why not?

    I've always wondered why that stipulation ever existed. Doesn't Time Warner own both WB and Turner properties? Why are they paying royalties to themselves? IMO, the WB silver age toons have been given an unfair shaft in syndication an they be somewhere on television. You would think Boomerang...

    "WWE RAW" 5-16-11 Talkback (Spoilers)

    I agree with Vince retiring. Nothing aganist the guy but he needs to step down already. It's no wonder why many fans want Triple H to have a bigger backstage role. He seems to be behind the Kharma push. I think the higher ups at WWE have finally woke up and realized that the divas movement has...

    Are we in a golden age for action cartoons for US Animation?

    Well, for one the sequel to Avatar:TLA will have an entirely different story and premise than the original so I don't see how it's milking the franchise. Second, I don't get the mindset that some fans have that because a movie or series has a merchandise, dvd, videogame, or comic tie in that it...

    Are we in a golden age for action cartoons for US Animation?

    It seems nowadays most people critcize current animation producers and executives for cheapening the medium. Some examples being the overuse of outscouring and flash animation. But quietly, on the other side of the spectrum there has been a slow but steady rise in the number of high budget, high...

    Which upcoming Nicktoon are you most looking forward to?

    Honestly, other than Legend of Korra i'm not realy intrested in any other upcoming nick series. Nothing aganist the new TMNT series. I'm sure it will be good but the original one just didn't appeal to me. I liked Kung Fu Panda but i agree with silverstar, they may be spreading the series too...

    "The Legend of Korra" News & Discussion Thread

    i think this is the compromise that the creators and Nick came to after the end of the first series. Remember that Nick originally wanted multiple seasons of the first series but Mike and Bryan didn't. I think that Korra ( and ATLA) are the first of a continuing saga in the the Avatar universe...

    Young Justice "Downtime" Talkback (Spoilers)

    I swear i'm really starting to like this series and this episode may just be the best one yet. What impressed me wasn't so much what the writers did but what they DIDN'T do. They could easily have messed up and used every cliche in the book in this episode, making Garth a jerk, give Toola...

    Sick of Cartoon Network Rants

    i didn't know people were still ranting about how great CN was in the 90's. You would think that those people would move on by now. I can understand the compliants about the 2005-2008 era and the CN Real debacle. CN was a wasteland then, they tried to be a generic clone of Nickelodeon and...

    Weekend Box Office: Adam Sandler has the cure to fight the 'Bieber' fever.

    When I saw the tralier for that movie me and a few friends collectivly shook our heads. Is Martin Lawerence so desperate for work now that he'll go out and continue this glorified minstrel show of a franchise that no one asked for. I rag on Tyler Perry a lot but at least he tries too do...

    ABC considers bringing TGIF block back

    Eh, I'm not holding my breath for this. Some things are best left alone.

    Why does everyone hate Fanboy and Chum Chum?!

    i don't "hate" the show per say. i just choose not to watch it. my gripe is that the show is a half baked effort from Nickelodeon, it's Phienas and Ferb without the clever writing, wit, ot intelligence. We've seen it the past that Nick can produce much better shows than this so there's really no...

    Katzenberg's sequel plan for Dreamworks Animation

    New Winnie The Pooh feature due in Spring 2011

    well let's start with what i liked. The Tralier. This is probably one of the best traliers for a movie I've seen from Disney in a long time. No snark, no pop music, no desperate attempts to be "hip", or copy Dreamworks. Just a good tralier that sells the film, the story , and it's...
