Watched the first 2 episodes of Sonic Boom. It's quite clearly borrowing from the non-plot episodes of Adventure Time in style, but it surprisingly works. I got a fair few laughs out of it and enjoyed them a lot more than I did X or Underground.

Soooooooo.....

Sonic Boom...

It got a few good chuckles out of me, and it's nice to see a Sonic cartoon go for a more lighthearted, cartoony approach again. Not sure how I feel about the 2 11 minute episodes format, though. The animation is really nice too. I just have two hopes.

1. Sonic goes super at least once
2. Shadow shows up.

Also, Amy's voice had me tripping balls.

So it's pretty much confirmed Ben 10 is ending this week.

I'm just gonna say it: Derrick was blinded by nostalgia and in the end along with stupid network demands (why on earth would you make Ben transform less and stick Skurd on the Omnitrix to push a toyline that was doomed from the start?) killed the series. While it did have its flaws I'm going to miss Ben 10.

Perhaps in the future we'll get a reboot that wouldn't be as disliked as Omniverse was. I doubt the fanbase will ever be the same again but a break could do the franchise wonders. The Batman movie franchise was doing well after its reboot until Dark Knight Rises; could Ben 10 make that kind of comeback someday?

It's entirely possible to have the series make a comeback. I just hope for more classic and less Alien Force.

Doesn't look bad

But at the same time it feels like they're trying to turn Aquaman into DC's Thor and Orm into DC"s Loki. I actually kinda laughed at the last scene where he gets his name

And my fears were put to rest. This week's episode of Korra didn't fall under the episode 10 curse.

That's not a half bad comparison, royalty from another land with drastically different takes on humans.
Anyways, the comic was cool, hope the movie is as well.

Honestly, I want to see Pax Americana as a movie.

But it seems cool.

You and Convoy bring up that name all the time, but what the heck is it?
