AWKWARD ZOMBIE

The storytelling in Green Lantern and the new TMNT is decent, but I HATE CGI CARTOONS!!! STOP MAKING ALL CARTOONS CGI, IT LOOKS LIKE ABSOLUTE SHIT!!!!!

Really? I think that the teams behind the new TMNT, Green Lantern TAS, and Transformers Prime make it work. It's tons better than the horrible CGI of Fanboy and Chum-Chum or Planet Sheen.

I just dont like CGI, it just looks so utterly lame. I like Toy Story, but thats about it.

The problem is everyone is using fairly cheap CGI in order to maximize profits. If people were actually willing to lose a few bucks they'd look a lot better.

They arent, its always been about profits, and always will be. Otherwise, nothing would ever be produced.

Well plenty of studios in the past have used high quality at the sake of higher costs. I've plugged Wakfu a thousand times and I'll do it again: Ankama says they barely cut a profit on every episode because they spend a large portion of the budget on animation. It shows.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster, what network in their right mind would fund a show that cant turn a profit?

I never said it wasn't turning a profit, I said the cartoon itself wasn't turning that much of a profit. It's making cheddar, especially with the merchandising and other factors considered.

I actually really like how they combine CGI and classic animation in TMNT to get a certain style. That, together with the excellent choreography, makes it a very entertaining watch.

I've also been watching the new TMNT - and I also think it's good pretty much all-round. I like how the characters have been redesigned/redeveloped on from their past incarnations. Splinter's redesign is remarkable - for a character based on a mutant rat to be so handsome is beyond my ability to process. Splinter is also a good role model in so many of the episodes - he has a good heart.

I wasn't sure about Bradford and Xever at first but they've grown on me as villains - I'm guessing Stockman is going to build some sort of cybernetic legs/armour for Xever's new body to improve his mobility - but the story/episodes haven't got that far here in the UK yet.

The most recent episode here was the one introducing Leatherhead - and I thought it was really lovely to see Michaelangelo being so compassionate toward Leatherhead - Leatherhead having all kinds of self-esteem issues relating to how he had been treated/how he sees himself (i.e. as a monster). I've not traditionally been a fan of Michaelangelo - but I saw him in a new light in this mature, sweet and endearing episode.


Soundwave's redesign for this series - and dialogue considerations - demonstrate a design/writing team with real intelligence; For a character without a face and no dialogue beyond replaying recordings of what other characters have said to have such... presence - is a feat worthy of recognition. I also look forward to the forthcoming episodes/second season.

I fuckin love the new TMNT
I does so many things that are awesome

Saturday morning cartoons:
-Ben 10 Omniverse was solid.
-Green Lantern TAS was awesome with THE GODDAMN LARFLEEZE. Everything I could have hoped for.
-Young Justice is awesome as well. I like this version of Apache Chief because his power is to make an astral projection giant rather than turning into one.

I finished watching Batman: Under the Red Hood. That was a mighty fine movie.

The DC Universe Original Animated Movies are overall pretty good. I especially like both the Green Lantern movies.

Is it just me, or are the new Futurama episodes really meh?
