I agree. I think they are pushing Lion-O hard at the start, but you'll start to get more team centric or episodes that focus on other characters later on.

This show is a cartoon Boy Meets World with cats. Will Friedle is just happy not to be second fiddle anymore.

Granted, the others are all proven in-universe characters. Lion-O's got to level up before he can really do anything of consequence as Team Leader. And it was an interesting episode, despite the groan-worthy "oh, I get it now!" *beats ass*

Despite understanding this, I still worry that there will be many more After School Special episodes to go before we get to the meat of the storyline.

IIRC even the 80s show focused around lion-o getting into deep shit on his own and then summoning the rest of the team of the with the sword.

This show is the best cartoon currently airing on TV, aside from the Venture Bros, which doesn't count since its between seasons.

Finally someone is making sense around here.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #366 on:** Sep 13, 2011, 08:07:06 AM »

I'm not watching any other cartoons right now, so there's another sort-of endorsement.

blanktoe · « **Reply #367 on:** Sep 13, 2011, 08:48:37 AM »

so... Adventure Time nor Regular Show count? You guys don't watch enough cartoons.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #368 on:** Sep 13, 2011, 03:40:04 PM »

I don't stay up that late anymore since I started having to be at work at 7 everyday.

IDE · « **Reply #369 on:** Sep 14, 2011, 04:58:34 AM »

Oh I forgot about them! Yeah adventure time is the best cartoon airing right now.

Chopper Face 69 · « **Reply #370 on:** Sep 14, 2011, 01:05:49 PM »

My Little Pony is better, but it's a total different kind of show. Zac is right though. This show is fantastic.

IDE · « **Reply #371 on:** Sep 14, 2011, 04:31:13 PM »

I still don't get this pony thing.

I love the parodying.

I think I've seen 2 eps and I just don't see the appeal to males, other than it being hilarious to be a brony.

That doesn't mean the new show has to be that way, too. Some things need to stay in the eighties and that format's one of them.

Ha ha, it IS, isn't it? It does have that feel.

I can't argue that. Which is probably why by not watching Thundercats, I'm effectively not watching anything right now. What the hell happened to YJ anyway? Did that just curl into a ball and die?

Neither do I. Never mind the appeal to males, I don't see the appeal to anyone over the age of 12.

It annoys me when they show us a few eps of a show and put it on a bus. Oh well, I got to sample that one too and I'm done with it anyway. Unless something really fuckin' cool happens. Someone let me know if it does.

Rama · « **Reply #375 on:** Sep 15, 2011, 05:50:04 PM »

I know. I hate when they split up a season. That seems to happen more and more these days, so that you get a fall and spring season premieres.

B E C K · « **Reply #376 on:** Sep 15, 2011, 05:56:26 PM »

I wouldn't mind so much if it had concluded a story arc at episode 9 or whatever and 10 started a completely new arc, but we were still in the middle of the effin' story. Don't expect me to remember shit from March, bitches. Especially for something I was just barely giving a pass to in the first place.

joe · « **Reply #377 on:** Sep 15, 2011, 08:36:21 PM »

I wonder how long YJ will even last. Seems to me it no longer gels with DC's current vibe.

And isn't YJ such a fucking weird abbreviation for an American cartoon? I feel like it should be for some shitty anime.

Yoroshiku!! Jonouchi-kun?!

B E C K · « **Reply #378 on:** Sep 16, 2011, 12:49:03 AM »

Yeah, abbreviations seem to work better with letters you get 1 point for in Scrabble. What IS DC's current vibe anyway? I don't really follow comics now but last I saw they were rebooting all of their shit or something?

joe · « **Reply #379 on:** Sep 16, 2011, 02:15:38 AM »

Word. Check out Harley Quinn's new design.

So good.

IDE · « **Reply #380 on:** Sep 16, 2011, 02:21:43 AM »

the bonr crew doesn't like it.

I don't mind it. I want to see it cosplayed.

But no way could she wield that hammer.

joe · « **Reply #381 on:** Sep 16, 2011, 02:31:02 AM »

I think Harley's original costume worked well in its original setting -- Batman: TAS -- but looked goofy in the comics. Her Arkham Asylum/Arkham City costumes are also pretty good.

Rama · « **Reply #382 on:** Sep 16, 2011, 11:36:37 AM »

I like it, but I wonder how she gets that much body makeup on everyday.

She might just be really pale. Really, really fucking pale.

Or maybe she uses a pail, and dumps it over her head.

And maybe she actually is the DC incarnation of Thor.

Rama · « **Reply #384 on:** Sep 16, 2011, 02:09:18 PM »

I was actually wondering if there is some in-universe reason for it. Like she had an accident like Joker did or she got some super powers at some point that also turned her skin the color or something. I don't keep up with DC much.

Fiero · « **Reply #385 on:** Sep 16, 2011, 03:04:24 PM »

High intelligence
Exceptional agility and strength
Immunity to most toxins
Psychologist
Skilled Gymnast

Nothing super powered, just fit and smart, and Poison Ivy gave her the toxin bit.

Rama · « **Reply #386 on:** Sep 16, 2011, 03:08:45 PM »

So she either is just really pale, or uses body make up.

Fiero · « **Reply #387 on:** Sep 16, 2011, 03:31:28 PM »

Fascinating, isn't it?

gwynn · « **Reply #388 on:** Sep 16, 2011, 04:20:11 PM »

I foresee in her next comic incarnation they nix the top altogether and just give her red and black diamond pasties.

Sorry but I'm sticking with the full spandex body suit, nothing beats the classic.

Fiero · « **Reply #389 on:** Sep 16, 2011, 04:54:10 PM »

Or just do that thing where there are tufts of fur.
