The basic idea is the same: Anya is a young woman who doesn't know who she is, wants to find out who she is, and Dimitri and Vlad are working as con artists to find someone who can convince the dowager empress that she is Anastasia. They travel to Paris to find the dowager empress and are trailed by an antagonist.

The details are what is radically different.

It is much more historically based. Instead of Anastasia being knocked out when running away with her grandmother, the Romanov's fate is the same as history: the children and their parents were sent to the House of Special Purpose and executed. Anastasia is rumored to have survived.

No Rasputin, no Bartok, no evil demon bats. The antagonist is Gleb, who is the son of one of the Romanov executioners and who is sent to track Anya, whom he knows, to find out if she may really be Anastasia. If she is, he is supposed to kill her.

There's a lot more little nods to history--Alexei falls down at the ball and everyone in the family looks stricken with terror; one of Anya's only possessions is a diamond that one of her nurses found hidden in her clothing; Gleb sings about how he lived near the Ipatiev House and one day heard the children laughing and playing inside the house, and then one night heard the shots and their dying screams. And one of Anya's memories is her dog, who was killed with the family. There are more references to the new government, including what is apparently a chilling sequence on the train where the passengers are reminded about the glory of the new Russia.

Songs are changed around. The songs from the film, with the exception of There's a Rumor in St. Petersburg and Paris Holds the Key to Your Heart, are in different spots in the story. Journey to the Past is the "I'm about to get to Paris and find my past" Act I bombastic closer. There is a new "I want" song in its place in the story. Once Upon a December takes place before Journey to the Past, just when they are going to leave St. Petersburg for Paris. There is a bunch of new music, including a duet for Dimitri and Anya. Vlad and "Sophie" (who is now Lily) have a more fleshed out relationship.

Oh and Dimitri has a darker backstory: his father was an anarchist who died in an imperial prison camp

Well Chaykin is a penciller, not an artist so how would he know.

>>82775489
He writes and draws

>>82775529
So penciller and writer, but not an artist.

Superman was being really paranoid and Billy was trying to stop him.
What was worse is when Superman gagged him and took him into the room that he thought had a bomb that could wipe out a city.

>Superman was being really paranoid
Superman was being straight up retarded.
I liked this episode and all, but the writers made Superman into a complete idiot for the sake of it.
Billy tried to reason with Supes and he just punched him in the face.

cartoons have been doing 'robot parts that make no fucking sense and are pretty much just 2d paper cutout art but fuck you it's dumb shit for kids' forever. like i can't even think of the oldest one. pinky and the brain had a robotic bill gates that just sprouted armor and became 9 feet tall
that's not really the same thing as the bayformers carefully working out every possible part of a machine and making them shift around in a way that looks fucking plausible and still makes something cool out of the same parts.

>>82774823
You robofags are so stupid, Christ. No, a million other things have done it.

Jenny is not for sexual.

Because clearly Captain America is a liar and would make up a fictitious story to avoid being incarcerated.

just turn your brain off

Because the whole point of signing the accords was that they'd get UN oversight and direction. They weren't allowed to take independent action. At best they'd have to bring in Steve and his buddies and then ask Ross if they could follow his lead.

Remember the big stink was about the Avengers acting unilaterally in other countries. Before they'd be allowed to go check out anything in Russia they'd at the very least likely have to wait for Ross to present the situation to the UN diplomat from Russia who would feel it up the chain of command and see if the Russian government would allow them to operate on Russian soil.

If Tony and the others just said "OK Steve, we'll see if what you say has any merit first" and went off chasing Zemo they'd all be in violation of the accords.

without any research at all, sure why not?

animation is expensive, plus the supporting team

aren't the Big Bang theory actors making a million each per episode?

>>82773581
>TRUE OR BS?

According to people I know in the biz, most of a show's budget goes to the salaries of the writers, producers, and voice actors.

Everyone else gets the peanuts.

It's usually about a fourth of that for regular animated shows, but Family Guy has so many special guests, licensed music, and other factors, that it wouldn't surprise me.

I feel like he is the most sinister Joker yet. The kind that would wait till 5 minutes before curfew before heading back home.

He looks alright, and he sounds alright.

Whaddaya suppose his story would be in a remake?

You're welcome OP

I think it will be the movie that will launch a thousand nerd arguments on not only what is the best Capt movie but also the best Avengers movie.

Spiderman is OP

Guy was a bullied kid a few mouths ago and then he's shown overpowering Captain America, Winter Solider, and the Falcon all of whom were militarily trained veterans.

Too soon to rank it for me.

>>82772724
This. It really was a backdoor Avengers. Kinda shows Whedon's flaws that CW was a better avengers movie that AoU.

>>82771984
Yes.

>>82771984
He learned to stay true to himself, by watching himself die

>>82771984
Apparently not because he still solves all his problems like a fucking pussy and consistently wins with his pacifist strategy of let's be friends. Only time characters can actually use violence in this series is if he's asleep.
