what do you think of the 90's spidey cartoon vs Batman the Animated Series?
out about the same time
They are high quality for that era.
Yet regressive as far as animation model and execution.
to the standard of cartoon in the wheel house for my actual era.
As the era in which they debuted.
For the time
Not to mention,...
Both amalgamated stories from the comic. When they should be adaptations that retell the comic. So they also defeat the purpose and counteract.
The gateway crowd from being cultivated to the comic aisle and in the long term prove counter productive. As it ruins the gateway consumer in general by being to confusing.
It is not a fault of the cartoon.
Yet more the fault and disconnect of the studios.
Now granted spidey in that era in print was a very mature grassroots grown audience title. Yet i felt it did a better point of getting across the idea of creating readership to the comic. With batman,...the animated suffered from the same thing as the movie. It created no latch on point for the gateway audience to become part of the readership. When dc had no superstars in their ranks penciling. The other issue with the batman animated and the a animated adaptation comic is. It had higher quality and most importantly quality control. Than anything dc probably will make unassociated with bruce tim.
So it creates disconnect by no fault of its own.
to an entire generation of movie blockbuster audiences and it never resulted in making batman higher in readership or quality markers for the books.
NOt associated with the cartoon adaptation. To give dc any legs from batman 89 past the movies. To where we had subsequent relaunches of movies.
to the entire actual dc line of comics numerous times as well.
So in regards to both.
I look at them as high quality. Yet the variables of the filmhouses and publishers that made them. Are where i feel the quality issues and integral draw based discussion lie.
When having conversations about both.
Both properties carry in their wheelhouse.
of where they create questions and variables. That account for why we are where we are now too.
Your question is a damn good thread actually.
As enough time has passed.
That we can get great commentary from casuals to hardcore.
Great question.
Make a thread.
Would like to see how much disconnect. Has been created because of the variables of the film and printhouses way they went about things. Concerning two gateway properties.
Especially because both exist in that weird nether zone. That lead to the communications act and other acts that predated it. That also changed and imo ruined american society and the well being of children as well.
So it is an interesting dialogue to be had.
