Which is exactly why I said to him "if you feel that way, cool" He was talking to me about it and I told him I feel him but I disagree. That's not saying you or him or anyone else has to feel how I feel. But trying to convince me why I should care when I don't is silly

It's already been said but yeah Bruce Tim and Batman paved the way for some kid friendly yet dark enough to capture the entire market young and old.

Marvel didn't have a character similar to that at that level at that time. The only three close that aren't part of the X-Men are what...Black Panther (which they already failing with) Daredevil and Moon Knight :ld:.

Plus WB had the pedigree, it's fukking Warner brothers y'all, they started the shyt.

Marvel has only recently started to move buildings with the MCU obviously.

All that other direct to DVD shyt is absolute trash, and I rep marvel :beli:

I don't watch any of the more current Marvel/DC cartoons (though I did see one episode of Justice League Action and liked it; saw an episode of Agents of SMASH and hated it), but as a general rule, DC has always had the superior animated TV/movies going back decades.

Marvel had a lot of really, really bad cartoons in the '90s, spreading themselves too thin with FF, Hulk, Iron Man, Silver Surfer, Spider-Man/Spider-Man Unlimited, X-Men (which isn't terrible, but hasn't aged well and fell off hard after the first two seasons or so) & Avengers: United They Stand. DC focused on quality with Batman: TAS, Superman: TAS, and Batman Beyond. DC had the best cast & crew and the best TV animation studio backing these shows.

To me, Marvel's best cartoons are Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends, Spider-Man (1981) and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. EMH was amazing. Still mad they canceled it for Avengers Assemble, which is okay, but EMH felt like a classic superhero cartoon.

DC's animated stuff has pretty much always been better then Marvels. You can thank guys like Timm, Dini, McDuffie for that...

Marvel needs folks like that, who are willing to boost marvel animation.




Also by the time Marvel's animated stuff started getting good.. the series would get cancelled/end..or do a total direction change like EMH

Spectacular Spider-Man is the best Marvel cartoon show. Sad they canceled it for Spider-Man Unlimited.

The DC animated movies haven't been great imo since The Flashpoint Paradox. I've read good things about The Death of Superman and I'll let you guys know if its any good after I watch it tonight.

When marvel proper firmly got behind their cartoons once Disney bought everything in 09, they went with new stuff. So we got a new avengers series and a new Spider-Man series

Then why was Wolverine in the X-Men canceled because that series was:banderas:

It's crazy how Marvel had/has great cartoon shows, but their 'toon movies are :camby:

:mindblown:
