Marvel acquired by Disney

More importantly, who wouldn't do Princess Jazmine? Hottest Disney Princess out there. I bet she's a screamer in the sack.

I take back almost everything I ever said about you.

You are a man of taste and refinement.

Exactly my point, a great piece of 3D, but an exercise in technical prowess, not story telling or art. Bit like the difference between Steve Vai and say Seasick Steve.

Which you can find in Beauty and the Beast, speaking about the new ones; sadly the background and supporting characters of the initial scene is technically poor, and everything behind Belle is full of glitches, to say it kindly.

That's what I am saying: the list I provided above has very nice things, though not all of them in a single film, like in the good ol' days. That doesn't make them good, but makes them better than 75% of the ones you placed in the same sac, and on which I agree, e.g. Mulan, Hercules, and the like.

30 years means that you are including as utter trash...

- The Fox and the Hound
- The Great Mouse Detective
- The Rescuers Down Under
- Beauty and the Beast
- Aladdin
- Tarzan

I agree that the rest not listed above is utter trash (Emperor, Mulan, Hercules, etc.). However, the ones listed above have very strong contributions in terms of art and st ...[text shortened]... they have bits of the old Disney magic which cannot be found, unfortunately, in the non listed.

What about the Lion King?

Matter of taste, dude.

But yes, it's another one with bits and pieces which can be rescued from the sea of junk Disney has produced for the last decades.

I think it has a nice story and a very nice rhythm to it.

One thing I absolutely loved in Disney in the last years was "The Gargoyles". I don't think that an animated series can get much better than that. (Of course one has to forget the last season)

So what did you think when they decided to whack Captain America?

And what did you think of the Watchmen?

the nazi boyscout was way overdo getting snuffed. too bad he didn't stay dead... I'd wish they'd mix things up more, kill characters, change them over time, have some god damn depth to them. no more boyscouts, no more one-dimensional baddies.

obviously I was a huge fan of watchmen since I first read it in the 80s. alan moore might be crazy, but the guy knows his writing.

I thought I wonder how long before they bring him back. (Answer: 1 year)

Watchmen was fantastic and one of the few DC books from the 80s worth reading. Anything written by Alan Moore is typically better than average.

Cap was incredible in the Civil War crossover. I hear you on the boy scout thing but Cap really is one of the few boy scouts in Marvel, besides Cyclops. A decent writer can bring a lot of a character like this regardless of how cheesy he is. Grant Morrison's latest work on Superman is a good example of this.

One word: Animaniacs.

No, of course I know it's not the same genre, or even the same ballpark. But I loved them both.

Also, it's Warner Brothers, not Disney.

One-dimensional baddies, to me, is what made DC that much more inferior to Marvel.

Marvel's array of interesting and complex villains, who became as important and recognizable as the heroes, is second-to-none, especially in the X-books and the Cosmic universe.

Dude, that's what got Marvel in top: character depth and evolution.

Exactly.

Not to mention the morally reproachable heroes.

And Magneto is in a league of his own.
