I don't think he's "bad" in the classical sense of the word. He is a heavy-handed ruler. When Korra mentions the word invasion he actually looks very offended at the notion. And honestly, Korra's family seems to be full of very stubborn and headstrong individuals...especially on the Dad's side.

As for Varrick, I don't think an American cartoon show would ever show a Capitalist in a bad light. But if LoK does then wow, its breaking quite a lot of new ground.

So I've been watching Avengers Assemble on and off and just recently caught the Dracula Episode. AA isn't a terrible series but compared to Earth's Mightiest Heroes there's just something….missing and the way I look is…it's the equivalent of a kid playing with his toys making up a bunch of nonsensical "Stories" as he goes along.

One thing that AA is missing is…there just isn't a sense of impending danger like EMH had and the villains aren't really that threatening. Which brings me to another point and I know I've said it before at least once: Red Skull has done nothing that earns him the seat of being the main villain for the season…the number one reason why the Avengers had to come back. Sure he stole Iron Man's armour and left him for dead but it's a feat that becomes null and void within five seconds of the 2nd episode and I don't really think he's done much of anything since those two episodes.

It's not a terrible show like I said better then United they Stand or Ultimate Spiderman but AA is pretty much cashing in on the popularity of the Avengers movie which is a shame because it could've been so much more...

Catching up with Xiaolin Chronicles. I really liked the original series but this new one has lost a lot of the heart and charm that first show had.

Between Ping Pong and the Honey Badger, i'm about ready to call Chronicles a disappointment.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. I thought it was because I was just seeing the original series though rose-colored glasses.. but... Chronicles isn't good.

Oh yeah, Chronicles is a thing. Guess I should get caught up just to form my own opinion... But from the three I saw, Ping Pong was really rubbing me the wrong way.

Honey Badger.
Seriously? They put the Honey....

Well, that just ruined it forever. I don't even care if it's just a character's name, the Honey Badger thing is stale.

Um... GOLDEN TIGER CLAWS!

Its a Shen Gong Wu. with reality warping powers.

Oh yeah…I totally forgot about Chronichles…and how dumb the idea of having CGI showdowns was...

:eek:

They're releasing Cybersix on DVD!

Yeah, I believe that his is a case of "good intentions, gone wrong".

Same here, but he's likely the only one with the resources to do so.

Caught the latest episode of Korra. Was great story wise but looks like whatever theories I had about Unalaq are pretty much voided. He does seem "clearly bad" now more than ever but the creators gave Tarrlok much more character in 8 minutes than they did in 8 episodes so I hope there will be more to him than meets the eye.

Bolin and Eska's interactions were hilarious!

TRIEC to watch both season premieres of both Family Guy and American Dad. For some messed up reason some stupid woman's voice kept telling me what was going on during the scenes. I was pissed!

They're bringing out a new ReBoot series

:D

New Sonic series too by the looks of it

Sonic Boom (Working Title) – A New Animated Series Coming Fall 2014

Neato! :D

I wouldn't give my hopes up for this…they said that in 2009 too.

And they call me the downer :p

IN case anyone needed proof of how awesome Guiliermo Del Toro is:

That was pretty cool. I enjoyed it :lol

That was awesome.
------------------

Who would love to see Star Wars: Clone Wars redone with the Post-EpisodeVI Star Wars movies and the "2D models in a 3D world" thing Jet Set Radio did?

Cause I would. That would be awesome.

Why, why, why can't this be faster?

I never finished "Danny Phantom" but 30 bucks for the whole series is a great deal.

http://tvshowsondvd.com/n/19036

That is worth the money. Danny was an excellent show, but then so was Godparents.

Right now I'm watching SWAT Katz, and I'm still bummed they ever cancelled this beautiful thing.

Danny Phantom is one of my all time favourite shows, so seeing it's currently at a preorder price of 22 dollars blew me away. Shame this will be US region locked and therefore worthless to me, unless I just change my laptops region code to the US and be done with it.

It's a great show, definitely worth the price.

Shouts doing a DP release? I might pick this one up. I loved the series as a kid.

I only found the start and finish to be the good parts of Danny Phantom. There were some really good episodes strewn throughout the series, though.

Another solid episode of Beware the Batman this week.

I think the series has some of the strongest and most memorable villains out of recent Batman shows, and I think using villains that aren't that well known helps a lot.

I didn't like Pyg and Toad at first but this episode helped turned me around on them, they were polite yet evil and just a delight to watch.

I just came up with an idea that I find to be incredibly awesome but is probably unlikely: DC Animated movies for events such as the Blackest Night, the Brightest Day, the Crisis, and the Day of Doom... that are all made to tie into the continuity of the New 52. It would give us movies of comic-book crossovers that we want to see in action and provide DC an alternative way to retell those events.

Oh, and the new episode of The Legend of Korra reveals Varrick isn't as good of a good guy as we were led to believe.

Oh, and Korra lost her memories.

The Verrick payoff was very well done. Mako is really growing as a character but God the fans of the show are so ****ing whiny. In the first series when Asami was so perfect they complained but now that she shows weakness because of all the **** that's piling on her (her father in jail, her father's company on the verge of collapse) everyone starts to get all feminist. Bolin starts acting like a jerk which is a great way of expanding character is being dismissed as "bad writing".

What the hell? Can't anyone watch a 20 minute animated show without reading so much into it? Does it have to be compared to the likes of Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad or whatever the hell the more "discerning fans" think is the gold standard for entertainment? Its bad enough the forums are filled with bratty ATLA fans which are the equivalent of Geewuners in any franchise but this ridiculous White Knighting and psychoanalyzing of a show which is meant to introduce or younger generations to a slightly more deeper style of story-telling is just getting too much. If everything is "cliche" or if watching a show primarily to ****ing CALL IT is their idea of entertainment, why bother watching....ANYTHING?!

Gah. Rant over.

Caught Dark Knight Returns Part 1 on TV. It was pretty good from what I watched but I'm going to have to wait till I see part 2 to judge the movie as a whole. The final fight with Batman and the Mutant Leader was some pretty intense Sh*****t. Even if it were scene per scene exactly like that that one TAS episode where the kids told stories about Batman.

I am the biggest Aqua Teen fan you're likely to meet. But.. Aqua TV Show Show.. It's like they're being weird just for the sake of being weird.

The new episode/episodes of The Legend of Korra was/were awesome. I love that we finally received an explanation for the Avatar and how it came to be and continues to be.

I missed the newest episode didn't i? Oh well i'll catch it in reruns i guess.

Your missing out on a lot. This was perhaps the best two episodes of the entire Avatar franchise as yet. It had mythology, humor, tragedy...excellent animation and voicework...Potato I don't know if you still come by but good job Sir. Good job.

Or you can just go here: http://www.nick.com/videos/legend-of-korra-videos

Am I the only one who hasn't watched Korra? I saw like.. one and a half episodes? But.. yea, I liked Aang better.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is still better than The Legend of Korra, but they're both two separate shows. Given time, I think The Legend of Korra can grow to surpass its predecessor. The new episode(s) show that.

The last two eps of Korra were a very enjoyable surprise.
