/co/ - Comics and Cartoons

How is it that the show from the 90s is less corny and less cringe-inducing than the show produced in the early 2000s?

I was set to rewatch both and only finished the 90s Xmen series. Aside from the dated by 90s production standards and the final season being delayed and gutted for budget, it was a surprisingly joyful series. In a way I think the dated animation style worked because the characters were on model for 99% of the time. But with Evolution, I had to stop at the start of the second season. I wanted to stop even before the end of the first.

The 90s show had typical corny jokes and banter which is a writing hallmark of an 80s/90s show, its roots going back even further. Today that trope is seen as corny and kiddy. Honestly I got used to it so much so that it must have worked in its favor. It came off less like jokes to steal the attention and pad time and more like pure banter. Even if you still consider that cringeworthy, it was nowhere near the "lingo" of Evolution.

Evolution played out so self-aware and concerned with being hip that it embodies the bundle of nerves and identity issues that it focused its writing on - young teenagers. Every step of the way it felt awkward and the focus on teenager issues and immaturity felt completely phony. I guess I expected Xmen but teenagers and not "teenage behavior" with an Xmen overlay the show. The only good thing that Evolution has is that its art holds up. Everything else was awkward.

How could this happen?

I'm here to make this board tepid rather than cold! What's up?

The /co/ you want to go to for instantaneous, fast as hell /co/ discussion is https://8ch.net/co/. I have no issues with them beyond their stupid low page count. I post there sometimes, too.

But wouldn't it be nice to have a slower alternative? Well, let's make that happen! Introducing Hipster /co/! You've probably never heard of it.

Until now!

Discuss in depth, at length, show off your /co/ntent from YouTube, Vine, and what have you! (You can bet your ass I will be.)

In about a half hour I'll have a new discussion topic up. I hope you'll join me for it. It will probably be slow. But maybe it'll get the ball rolling.

I just want to talk about comics on a site not blighted by next

ive never been much of a comic guy, but i decided to read injustice because it was recommended to me and it was an interesting thought, and wow-ee. it was doing okay (the writers failing to explain batmans philosophical principles for not wanting the arkham patients killed irked me, but as i said before, im not a comic book guy, and i can understand why they wouldnt want to have a wall of text covering up the comic. but they dont mind cramming in a wall of contemporary 4th wall political bullshit, so they can no longer stand on this argument)  to  until i got to this scene. what happened to his face? gotta love the political shoehorning, too. how long has it been this bad?

semi related to this, which comic is the one where batman snaps the jokers neck in the batmobile, and is it worth reading?
