Greg answers:

What do you make out of this? Particularly the last one?

Redemption Squad: Spidey edition
Felicia needs more love.
I make of it that Greg Weisman is overambitious. I think he had like 8 Gargoyles spin-offs he wanted to do, too.

Heroes for Hire, Spidey Edition? Marko in there makes me think of something with Silver Sable.

When you are the victim of a gypsy curse that prevents you from getting past the second installment of anything, over-ambition doesn't hurt.I honestly think it's the only thing keeping him going. After Gargoyles, SS and Young Justice I would have killed myself, but Weisman keeps getting back on that horse with infinite patience. Man's a fucking Blue Lantern.

Nothing wrong with that. I'd rather have that than the mediocrity plaguing Marvel animated stuff right now.
Also, I don't even think the Gargoyle spin-off stuff was his idea. I think Eisner wanted to do that to compete with Fox's Marvel cartoons in the 90's.

Greg mentioned Sable would've become a mercenary eventually.
Isn't he a filthy jew?

His stuff may keep getting cancelled but at least he has a varied career.
>>81316211
Yeah, as much as he gets screwed for stuff, he gets consistent work in the industry. That's actually harder than it sounds.

>A Fantastic Four cartoon by the writers of Spectacular Spider-Man
Could that have saved FF?

Right but he absolutely ran with it.
