DC Comics is now affiliated with Warner Bros. and what do we have?  Batman the Animated Series with very good voice acting, a signature style, great stories (never mind Mask of the Phantasm that outdid some of the live-action stuff).  And the list goes on.


Now, Marvel has teamed up with Disney.  Then I watched (just out of sheer morbid curiosity) the Super Hero Squad.


It was painful.  To quote Stewie Griffin: "Did you just do a fart joke?"


Thoughts?

Sure SHSS is low brow but I just watched it and it was pretty freakin' funny all the same.

haven't seen SHSS but from the previews, it looks like an alternate universe/retelling/reimagining aimed at the younger kids. essentially heroes doing crazy stuff without the angst and drunken powersuit joyrides that come with the territory of superherodom.


that said, we need more Batman: the animated series & Gargoyles! dangummit! WB & Disney at their finest animation in the genre, IMO.

Actually, I wish they would bring back Darkwing Duck...


I loved that show!

I'm expecting a train wreck out of that relationship myself.


Marvel was already screwed up before. Disney hasn't done anything good in quite a while. (Especially compared to the Crap which is steadily streaming out of them on a minute by minute basis)

It boils down to Sentry and Superman duking it out, with Batman and Dr. Doom counter Xanatos Gambiting each other, while Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse have a no-holds-barred deathmatch.


Which is something I would pay money to see

People are still freaking out about this?  Where's all those comics I had linked before...

Maybe you should draw one.  :D


I'm thinking a Mickey and Wolverine love story that finds them fighting together to combat the masses that don't accept their union because 'Cartoons' and 'Comics' should never, ever mix.  Maybe a mob of white sheet/pointy hat wearing enemies chases them across the nation crying out for purity of content or something.  Oh, make sure it's super bloody.  And graphic.  Yeah. 


No, I don't have any idea where any of that came from.  Such is the price I pay daily for indiscretions past.

Wolverine basically is a cartoon character. Hit him with a steam roller, he gets back up and reinflates, drop an anvil on him and it drills him into the ground, then he cuts his way out, ect.

As odd as it sounds, it might not be "SO" bad.


Disney has access to only 500 of marvels characters, it never said which ones yet.
Disney has taken over on I belive 3-4 seasons of Power Rangers at different times with no great deviation from previous versions of other seasons, they might maintain the key integrity of marvel.


We know disney is not above bloodshed for ratings, mind you I dont expect to see deadpool assassinating Donald Duck any time soon.


As for the new cartoon that just came out: it looks like a lot of the figuringes for toddler/preschoolers they have been pushing out for the last 2 years before this, now it just has a child show to go with the child toy.

I'm not very familiar with this Deadpool guy, but wouldn't it be something he actually would do?

Fixed. Donald Duck is among the few Disney characters that's actually somewhat good (thank you Carl Barx and Don Rosa). Mickey Mouse comes off as a Gary Stu.


Also, YOU DON'T **** WITH McDUCK!

Mickey Mouse as Gary Stu? That's overusing the term. Mickey is just the positive character. But yeah, Donald would probably join forces with Deadpool rather than die. Unless he was roasted and served.

If there's anything Kingdom Hearts taught me, it's that Mickey is a jedi and Donald needs to be kicked in the nose more often.
