They did a good job with EMH but JLU is still the best.

Now DC animation is dead (until JLA) and Marvel has been shit for a long time.

>Now DC animation is dead

Pure action cartoons are dead in general. If it's not heavily peppered with childish jokes and humor and doesn't have merchandising potential, like selling followup toys for example, networks won't even touch it with a ten foot pole.

EMH could have toppled JLU if they didn't let Loeb come in and absolutely fuck it so he could ram out Assemble.
>>
>>83278127

Pretty much, Assemble was rushed the fuck out of so that they have a cartoon resembling the live-action movies that were hot at the time.

Like how the current Guardians of the Galaxy cartoon is basically riding on the coattails of movie's popularity.

Why doesn't DC just give Batman or Superman or even Wonder Woman to Netflix so they make a good show? Cartoon or live action idc.

After BvS being a critical failure, DC and WB have come to a conclusion that they have to take a different direction with their non-comics media (booting out that idiot Snyder was a starting point). We'll have to wait and see what they have planned out, maybe we will get some of that stuff you mentioned.

whoa there, let's not go crazy. EMH isn't bad but it is very much held back by the worst of Marvel's practices. There are few actual character stories and a massive over reliance on events and crossovers/cameos.

Spectacular Spiderman was a much better cartoon, and much closer to DCAU quality.

>>83282176
I highly recommend watching it. It starts a bit slow. But the second season is so fuckin' worth it.
>>
>>83282408

Personally I think there's two damning sins Daredevil commits:

Number one is that the dialogue is sophomoric and is delivered in the worst ways possible. People don't talk- they recite speeches like Rorschach's internal monologues at each other.

The second is that the whole thing looks ridiculously cheap. The best comparison is a film student's undergraduate project, or a low budget teleplay- the framing of each individual shot tends to be straight-on, which makes it look like it was shot on a camcorder. The sets are sparse and flat, and I swear I've seen sets that are supposed to be complex. They don't try and build a world with them; they're just places for things to happen in. And the choreography is some of the worst I've seen in anything above a daytime Soap Opera. Everyone knows fights in film are faked, but the ways they're faked in film differs from stage shows.

The best example of this I can give you is Frank's prison fight- whenever he stabs someone, he slides his fingers forwards over the "blade" and bumps them with the butt of his hand. This is common in stage shows because it's easy and you aren't looking too closely, or in movies when it's shot from a proper angle. Daredevil shoots this straight on, so you can see him not stab the other person. This is really poor form, and destroys any illusion that the fight is happening.

It's not just tat, though; every punch is from the elbow, people are clearly punched past, and the whole thing generally looks like a bunch of kids playing.

Then there's the hallway fight that people praise, where the Daredevil "actor" over-theatrically plays up being "tired" like a silent movie actor would. If you watch it with the sound off it looks like a Marx Brothers skit, especially when he ducks people's punches and tries to do jumping kicks off the wall.

There's a ton of other problems (the pacing, the so called "comic relief," the costume...) But the blatantly bad filmmaking is something I can't forgive

This.

If you look at EMH's first season and compare it to JL's first season, EMH was unquestionably a better show.

Timm & Co took a long time getting how to make a team format work and had to learn that again when transitioning to JLU's half hour format.

Meanwhile, once EMH hit's Gamma World, shit's off the rails and amazing. Even the first half of season two was pretty good until the actual final episode of the Secret Invasion arc.

Daily reminder that JLU & the Timmverse ended over a decade ago in 2004

Daily reminder Brave & The Bold ended five years ago and it's all been downhill from there

Daily reminder that all the DC DTVs in the last couple of years have been dog shit, especially the New 52 adaptations

Daily reminder that there's no competition because both Marvel & DC have garbage animation right now.

At first, I didn't like X-men Evolution, because it was ignoring all the stories set in the 90's X-men and it was my first exposure to reboot of a show I actually liked.

But after I while, it grew on me and it turned out to be quite good show.

It was still weird when apocalypse showed up, though, I was like "isn't this supposed to only happens when they turn adult or what?"

Ironically, that's hurting DC more than Marvel.

Even if the coming DCCU movies manage to trump our expectations and actually get to be good, they will never top the DCAU and it will always suffer from the comparison, especially for hardcore fans.

They can ignore the the Marvel movies, but definitely not the DC cartoon and Justice league unlimited.

Wolverine and the X-men is pretty good too.

Not long ago I watched all the Marvel cartoons. The Xmen cartoons, Spectacular Spiderman, and to a lesser extent Silver Surfer are all really good.

I could keep going on here, the point is that most of the great stories being told, we're being told parallel to others during the show, few episodes focused on just one character doing stuff because they needed to advance their story. You should watch that show again dude.
