Paul Dini: Superhero cartoon execs don't want largely female audiences

[Hecatom]

If you’re a grown man wearing those hoodies I kinda feel bad for you.

I mean, a t-shirt is one thing. A hoodie looking like that characters armor is a new level or dorkitude.

Reason: Post is shitty

Reason: The post he is faging is really shitty

says all other characters suck

still doesn’t realize Static Shock is not his name

[BBQ]

The quality of those hoodies are very similar to my Volcom hoodie, some advance under armor tech shit. Too bad they don’t have pit and back zip vents or I might cop a batman one.

Young Justice was just on the wrong network. cartoon Network is now run by lazy businessmen.

If Young Justice was aired on the CW they’d be racking in millions on merch. The CW knows how to sell shit to female audiences.

Hopefully DC’s growing parnership with CW lead to some serious animated shows.

Alway’s a chance.

Slim as hell. CW is all about marketing DC heroes to chicks (and male fans desperate enough to turn in their testicles for 44 minutes to see some non-cannon bullshit with lame costumes, crappy action scenes and crappier special effects) to in “good only because the lead dude is considered hot by the target audience, and said women will watch anything he’s in” live-action shows.

All comic book tv shows are non-canon

True…but unlike CW’s shows, the animated stuff mostly kicks ass, so we can ignore that flaw. When the show is crap, that’s another con, as how closely it follows it’s source could have at least made it watchable.

I wouldn’t consider being non-canon a flaw.

Yeah…I didn’t know what else to call it at that moment. An “issue”? Non-canon storylines are added to the list of issues with a terrible show, whereas they are a non-issue, or even a perk with good shows.

Considering the stupid amount of shit like ret-cons, non canon that is later inegrated to the canon, dumb shit stories added that ruin the canon etc, a show being canon or not is usually 0 on my priority list.

[Reason4U]

Comics companies alter characters entire backstory just so they can have those characters bang ONCE. All to create drama even when the two had no previous talk or ever even on panel together.

Non canon shows are a plus for me because they allow shit like that to happen without ruining 50 or so years of character development like these comic events do.

Shit I’m still salty about the N52 reboot killing the great version of the Teen Titans. Now we have some shit new version no one wants to read about.

[Reason4U]

Also if anyone thinks non canon stories are worthless I suggest reading the Injustice Gods among comic book.

It’s fucking great. Those Green Arrow feels ya’ll.

[Saitsu]

Yeah, honestly going Non-Canon is the way to go. Hell, do a good enough job and they’ll take your Non-Canon shit, and put it with the Canon.

Hence why Harley Quinn, John Diggle and Phil Coulson exist in comics now and Mr. Freeze actually has a poignant backstory and motivation.

[Hecatom]

Mr. Freeze’s new origin is so ass. His tragedy is what made him appealing and they took it away from him.

And what dumbassey they put now?

[Joshkaz]

DC trying really hard to fuck all their characters up.

[Hecatom]

He’s working at a Wayne R&D lab. And hes obsessed with this failed project. The project being this frozen broad named Nora who was never his wife.

In this new origin, Nora was never Fries’s wife. Her name was Nora Fields, a woman born in 1943. When Nora was 23, she was diagnosed with an incurable heart disease, so her family placed her in cryogenic stasis hoping that a cure would be found in the future. Fries, having written his doctoral thesis on Nora, took on a position as a cryogenic researcher and technician at Wayne Enterprises, the facility that housed Nora’s body.
Eventually, he fell in love with Nora and became dedicated to finding a reliable method for slowly thawing cryogenic subjects. However, Bruce Wayne ordered the project to be shut down, as he began to feel uncomfortable with Fries’ obsession with Nora. Furious, Fries hurled a chair at Wayne, who dodged the attack; the chair smashed into an array of cryonic chemical tanks, the contents of which sprayed onto Fries and transformed him into Mr. Freeze.[12]

And this is why i don’t bother with comics anymore.
Those comic companies hiring dumb motherfuckers that like to write shitty fanfic that is shoehorned on the canon.

[Joshkaz]

Blame the guy(s) who allow this shit to pass through.

[Lord_Raptor]

Honestly I don’t mind the new origin, actually kind of like it. It’s different enough seeing how that’s the point of a reeboot while staying close. Only problem is no one has really done anything interesting with him.

YOu’re fucking up then, the big companies are still putting out amazing stuff along with the bad and the small publishers are doing great things.
