>Whatever. I hope you all see second season (and they didn't destroy it) and I hope you like it. I'm just really pissed off now that the streaming service is here and has also totally blown it. What a waste of time and money.
Thanks, Doo - Just to clarify, they didn't exactly "fire" Zac, he walked off in disgust because WB allowed certain crew members to take too much power and get too much credit because they played politics, were at WB longer and were WB's "pets" - so they could o what they wanted and had the top brass' ears, into which they whispered how they could do a better job than Zac and I. Zac is one of the nicest, fairest and most egoless people you'll ever meet in Hollywood, who is also one of the most talented. Usually those two don't go hand in hand, but somehow Zac makes it work. He's an saint of a guy - and absolutely brilliant. That kind of style is just not in keeping with WB's current managerial style, so Zac appeared "weak" and the water was chummed and the sharks attacked. Every move they made was a creative mistake for the show, but if an arrogant jerk suggests it, WB believes it MUST be right! Zac just got tired of fighting against a machine that clearly didn't respect what and how he was doing to make a great show, so he bailed. I was Zac's second in command - I was the head writer, story editor and uncredited co-creator/developer of the series.

>It would have been natural, since even WB considered me "the voice of the show,' to promote me to producer and allow me to have some creative control over what happens AFTER the scripts were complete (important things, like being in voice records to make sure the lines I wrote were delivered correctly, etc), but no, once Zac left, I was NOT demoted, I just lost my direct line to the top of the creative power structure and the people who took his place thought THEY knew better, so I was basically left in my office churning out great scripts without any control over making sure they were executed correctly like I had with Zac. If Zac wasn't sure about something in the script, he'd walk in my office and ask me what I meant. That stopped happening and board artists and directors were given permission to rewrite at will - most of the time for stuff that they wouldn't have rewritten had they understood what the intention was or what the function of it was in the story structure. They all really talented artists - but none of them are trained writers.

>>93640594
>Animation (especially kids animation) is made up of a bunch of artists who went to art school and they're brilliant, trained artists, not writers - which takes JUST as much training and practice. It's the old cliche - EVERYBODY thinks they're a writer because words on a page look like words on a page - unlike ART, which you can tell when someone has gone to school and is trained and learned the craft of drawing and animating. They all think, "I'm funny! I can write this!" without having any idea what there-act structure is, what character arcs are, how to create character driven comedy, how to structure and build a story and keep your character's voices and action unique and individual to that character. It's all just so common in Hollywood. The WGA is about to go on strike again because the studios and producers don't want to give writers the tiniest, little bit more (in fact, while Hollywood is raking in record profits, writer salaries are going down). It's the oldest story in the book (ironically, because "books" need writers).

Some people wanted to make a cartoon that is clearly inspired by Tales of the Golden Monkey, and Disney made them use Jungle Book characters.

Because we all live in a Pokemon world.

I don't know how the hell someone thought it up and pitched the idea but it turned out not too bad.

Disney and their fag propaganda. What's new?

So Superman committing literal genocide on his own race and culture is considered a legitimate interpretation of Superman?

>Snyderfags are turning on Wonder Woman because it was financially successful and popular

Oh boy. OH BOY. This is going to be so much fucking fun.

>>93655188
No.

Man of Steel was utter trash. Pa Kent was a sociopath. Washed out colors. Superman was a 30 something dick head before he actually nutted up.

This is a strange question to me. How can the content of a cartoon be "wrong" as long as the network and advertisers are ok with it? It's what the creators want, who case?

No, especially considering this show can barely handle politics with either tact or sophistication; it's always pretty obvious jokes and ultimately uncritical analysis considering how often they do the "both sides suck" shit. The best episodes of this show are all one off stories.

>And then when I first saw it, when I opened all the gifs, I’m like, oh my god, this is so cool, because a lot of them are just so well done that when they transition back and forth you can easily tell, even if you’re not familiar with the book, but you know the title, you know the cover. If you know comics, it’s really cool.

>And then we decided we’re gonna break the internet by giving seven or eight comic sites exclusive little bursts, like five or six gifs, and we’re gonna kinda roll them out throughout the day. Eventually we’ll post all of them all together. It’s kind of a cool way to tease it because obviously we have a lot more to reveal about Legacy. It’s one of our biggest Fall events, and we’re gonna be doing a lot more leading up to comic con, as far as information about the books and the creative teams. All that stuff is coming. We’re just trying to tease it out really slowly. But I think this is a really cool way to get people excited.

How the internet reacted according to them
>I was scrolling Twitter when this started, because this all started this morning, and people were like ‘oh I’m so glad to see that this title is continuing, or this title.’ I forget people don’t really know.It’s like, ‘oh I’m so glad to see that Moon Girl still has a title.’ So that’s fun to see, everyone reacting to these covers and the rollout and the way they’ve been received by basically like the whole internet

>We have so much cool stuff. We’ll have a lot more Legacy announcements. We’re gonna announce stuff about Generations, as well as a bunch of stuff with Disney Publishing and Women of Marvel. There’s so much stuff that we’re looking to announce, and it’s gonna be really fun. Part of my job now is figuring out who’s gonna be on the panels, who we’re gonna invite, what talent we’re gonna invite, and that’s really fun because I get to look at everyone like, I know who’s coming to this panel and I know what you’re gonna talk about but I can’t say.

Christ Hiro, pls raise the message cap.

It's a cute children's show, but it has no ambition to be anything more. The writing varies wildly - they've got some good talent, but some episodes are just weaker than others. I remember one written by Len fucking Wein of all people, that has an entire first-act set piece hinged on forgetting Windblade can fly.

Even as waifu bait, it's mediocre in that they constantly set up intriguing new female characters, like pic related, Shatterspike, or even Russell's tomboy friend Hank, then forgetting about them ASAP.

It's one of those shows that's hit-or-miss enough to actually benefit from a "best episodes" guide, that is if you don't care how the season-long arcs pay off Poorly. They pay off poorly.

Nah man he's just the coach.

JJJ is black though since Michelle's last name is probably Jameson, played by either Ice Cube or Terry Crews

Why the hell not, if Donglover can be fucking Lando why not this cunt as JJJ

Hes a teacher dumbass.

I expect more Bill Nye level of pseudo science

This is one property that I could actually see being remade into a superior product

I was watching an episode a while back about different types of energy and it just seemed... poorly conveyed

The premise was fun and inventive and the 3 or 4 actual characters were cute, but it could definitely be done better
