TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Devin Johnson Next to justice League and Young Justice, this is one of few great DC animated shows that have been made in the last 15 years. I won't go into detail about how well the writing in this show is whether I'm talking about the theme of an episode, or the actual dialogue, but man oh man this is awesome. I remember watching this show when I was younger (only 16 now) but this was a cartoon that I only got to "sometimes" watch. The feeling I got when it aired was something I haven't felt from a show in a while. This show basically covers all things such as racism, finding yourself, and even simpler things as accomplishing a goal. Only of shows were made like this now a days... sadly there are no DC animated shows anymore and it breaks my heart. PROPS TO STATIC SHOCK.
honkles Plot Outline: Based on the popular comic book, this animated series portrays the first teenage African-American superhero. Many of you might be thinking: first African-American superhero? I thought that was Green Lantern. However, the description says teenage african-american superhero.
Nanaspottedeagle This show is very good. I have never seen any cartoon that feature African Americans as the main character. It is about time cartoons started being "real". As far as trying to be too black, I think that most teenagers act that way. Name two no one show similar to this, HA you can't. I like this show, it is real nice, now it only they had a girl version. Very good I hope they keep it on for a while.
gears_chatroom_god "Static Shock" is not a BAD show... it's just got a few wrinkles that could be ironed out. Probably it's biggest problem it's this whole "blaxploitation" thing it's got going on. Okay, he's African-American, that's just peachy-keen, but it doesn't really make him any different from any other superhero, so there's no need to focus on it as such an important point of who and what he is. It's a problem that tends to plague African-American comic book characters, as writers always seem to think that they should be made down-home, hip-with-the-people style characters. Well, it's all just rather "blah." And I just find it rather quirky that almost all of the "Bang Babies" (the mutants created in an explosion during the series premiere) are African-American too, don't you? Although when the show STOPS being blaxploitation, it's highly watchable - the second season premiere comes to mind, which involves a crossover with Batman (and features the character designs and voice actors from Batman's own series).The animation is quite decent, but the first season would have benefited GREATLY from the animators learning the meaning of the word "SHADOW." Everything was a very bland, single flood-filled colour. The second season has improved this, with real light and shading beind used (same goes for "The Zeta Project").Anyhoo... it ain't bad. But it ain't great either.
