I like Invincible, but the similarities to DC style annoy me. Last animated DC thing I was excited for was the Kamandi short; I apprecited the Jack Kirby look, but it was too corny to be enjoyable. With stuff like Spiderverse, Love Death and Robots, The Liberator and Scavengers Reign leading the way now, they just look old fashioned anymore. Definitely coasting too, they never explore past their flagship characters and it's so limiting.

As a middle aged man with children and a mortgage let me just say that the Batman ones have a way better hit to miss ratio than the others. The dark knight Returns one in particular was fucking great.

And WS the shorts are all fucking great in my opinion. Those maintained the pedigree DC/WB had in the glory years.

Full disclosure, I still need to watch the Harley Quinn animated series, is that any good?

The Liberator just made me want Weird War Tales...

no

Scavengers reign - 8/10

1/2 way through Sexy Beast and I firmly believe Stephen Moyer should play the next Lex Luther. (Maybe also Doctor Doom)

The Woman in the Wall - 8.5/10

Scavenger Reign - Massive love/hate with this. Loved the main character, which is obviously the planet itself. And it's driving me nuts because I'm positive I read a comic book series* (Image Comics?) that had a similar art and feel, but can't remember it. Hated that it had to do the whole 'womens be the best, mens be inferior' bullshit that has made most modern sci-fi rancid the last few years.


* I think I'm thinking of the Prophet series from 2012

Saga? If you're thinking of an Image series. Been wondering why that hasn't been made into a TV show yet actually. To me the scavengers animation looks like a straight 50/50 blend of Moebius and Studio Ghibli, with maybe some AI designs derived from both. I enjoyed the dikey badasses and have never minded female fronted fantasy...Blue Eye Samurai (7.5/10) is also very fem-focused and in the same camp, also pretty good quality show overall.

Yeah, it’s not Saga I thought of. Definitely Prophet:

It reminded me of the Maxx so I bought the DVD for like 15 dollars

i could watch scavenger reign planet all day

I guess I’ll do a video game tie in, but there’s a brand new game out for the Xbox, PlayStation, and PC that has a style and aesthetic reminiscent of Scavengers Reign, called Ultros:



Sure, it’s more psychedelic then the show, but still.

That looks awesome!

The maxx - 9/10. I used to have the vhs and watched it many times but the DVD has one extra episode they cut for time and it was nice to finally see that. Fuckn show rules

Fargo Season 3 - 9
Fargo Season 4 - 9

Jesus! I think about the crazy shit from Scavenger’s Reign like twice a day. I think some asshole called it “Biopunk” which is stupid, but if it becomes a sub genre I’m down.

Sexy Beast Season 1 - 7/10

i dicked around with this a little bit when it came out. also has an extremely moebius heavy inspiration to it

Made in Chelsea S26 - 7/10

That Sam Prince is just despicable.

Totally agree, I love Cold War stuff but this shit the bed at the end of the last episode - especially dean winters character was awful.

Shogun is so good.

Ah, was wondering about that show.

I read the book about 20 years ago, but wasn't about to watch the 1980 series. I used to never make time for TV but now that I have some back pain I guess I can find the time.

sable looks like those joel haver videos
