/co/ - Comics & Cartoons

Thanks for the link. From the couple episodes I saw, I liked it. Shame it probably won't get a second season, you don't see too many decent action shows these days.

Eh, the series was doomed from the get go. The series came out during DC's "No Undies" policy, which immediately hindered any brand recognition and drove people away with DC's immaturity. People can tell when something is trying to be something it isn't, and so DC's adolescence attitudes bleeding into the product probably killed it.

>this is what underwearfags actually believe

Aside from a vocal minority, nobody gives a shit about the underwear. Trying to pretend that it had any sizeable influence when it's pretty obvious that it is still still Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman on-screen regardless is stupid.

You'd think CN would be kinder to this show since it's more comedy-oriented and even has the 11 minute format. I feel bad for Faust's DC Superhero Girls, whenever that comes out.

>you don't see too many decent action shows these days

There's Voltron, Castlevania, Stretch Armstrong, and whatever spin-offs Trollhunters gets. It's a pretty anemic selection.

>caring this much about Superman's underwear

>>1003089

It's just fucking underwear.

>>1004262

He said decent action shows,

>>1004268

Sorry, I shouldn't have suggested stuff above decent.

>>1004506

>Trollhunters

>Voltron

>Above decent

They're average at best.

Wasn't that always the case with WW?

>Superman's undies serve a design purpose, breaking up the massive field of blue and creating color balance, but, more importantly, it serves an iconographic purpose.

And there are other Superman costumes that achieved the same fucking thing sans undies.

>Superman had virtually the same costume for seventy three years. Those trunks appeared in cartoons, movies, and video games in that time, and became iconic, much like Doctor Who's police box or Mario's mustache. They became a visual signifier of Superman.

No, they fucking didn't. Superman's shield is the only immediately recognizable thing about him (it's one of the top three most recognizable symbols on the planet apparently) and if you removed it but kept the trunks and all the other shit, it wouldn't be Superman. If you removed the trunks and kept the symbol, people would immediately think it was Superman. Having the same shitty costume for seventy three years doesn't mean shit, if Batman fans or Iron Man fans were as autistic as you Superman oldfags, they would still be running around in their ugliest costumes today.

>When they removed them, it created doubt. Yeah, he had the cape and the shield, but without those schlong shielding shorts, people couldn't really be sure that it was, indeed, Superman. It could be a different character, like a Superboy or something. So they, especially kids, turned away.

Oh, bullshit. Superboy wore trunks too, y'know. Or did that fact conveniently slip your memory?

>That's the shit you fags don't understand. It's not just the trunks, but the whole image that comes with them. It's why japanese toku programs go to the effort of recreating the costumes of old heroes instead of just redesigning them. They want to capture the thoughts, memeories, and feelings that come with that original appearance, something that was lost when DC ditched the trunks.

You just discredited your own argument by trying to weasel-word Jap toku not "redesigning" but "recreating" old costumes when they are really doing the same shit that DC is doing - updating the costume. You traditional "fans" are a cancer on the Superman fandom and the reason why the character is dying a slow death of irrelevancy, because you dumbasses are unable to let go of your childhood nostalgia and endlessly whine that everyone else have the same opinions as you.

Oh, that's the original actor in there. That's nice.

>>1006484

>if Batman fans

You realise of course that Batman has also had virtually the same costume for seventy years

>>1006492

yep. Showa era Kamen Rider actors are hardcore. Modern Rider actors just seem like they're in it for the career boost

at least Super Sentai actors seem to be able to universally embrace it (as seen in Gokaiger and Akibaranger)

>Dr Light repeatedly shown in background cameos

>never actually shows up

> Except bank's run by Jews of course

Were you born after 2008?

>>1007856

You mean the year that the US government bailed out several banks because they were 'too big to fail'?

>>1007839

He had rapings to do, anon.

>>1007878

I think he meant the Japanese girl

>>1007878

No, they retconned that. Now he just jerks off to furry porn in his one-room apartment and calls it "rape."

>>1007856

>>1007861

I heard ToysRUs was doing just fine but the larger company they were attached to just dumped all their debts on them forcing a shut down.

>>1007785

Is that a fucking pride flag behind them?

>>1006494

By that metric, so has Superman, so what are you complaining about?

>>1006404

Shit Kikaider looks nice. Is it a new series or just the movie?

>>1007958

No, it's gold, red and blue. Are you colour blind or something? That's WW's colour scheme.

>>1007923

Did they? That's a shame, I haven't read anything of Dr Light after IC on purpose because I thought they'd just harp on about the rapings forever, but removing the only truly notable thing he did beyond annoying the Teen Titans is an odd choice. I would have thought they'd shuffle him off to the Titans to be edgy and mature with them.
