Instead of burning money making big budget bloated films that nowadays seem to fall on their ass, its time for companies to get with the times and realize animation is more popular than ever.
>>150412160Its a shame Frank Miller Daredevil never got an animated series.
>>150412185Its a shame -insert character(s)- never got an animated series.TRVTH
>>150412160After watching a few episodes of Armored Adventures, i gotta say, Iron Man should have gotten more animated series
>>150412160Jeph Loeb already ruined animation as an option for Marvel
>>150412228But I can save it.
BETTER STOP THAT VEHICLE
>>150412160>ANIMATION IS MORE POPULAR THAN EVER!>*checks viewership numbers*>It's less than 10% of what it was 10 years agoUhhh sure anon. It's a clear safe bet. Give them the 150M for a movie. Maybe you'll make 15M.
At some point, Hollywood will make the inevitable pivot to smaller budget, more experimental, and higher quantity movies (like what happened with Westerns) to try and find the next big thing. Cape movies are unlikely to survive that pendulum swing, leaving animation as the prime medium for superheroes to shine.
>>150412674God I hope so
>>150412228Isn't he not in charge anymore?
>>150412160American studios think that only 3D computer animation is viable.
>>150412634He is talking about Demon Slayer
>>150412634>Give them the 150M for a movieWhat? The last Looney tunes movie cost 15M and this >>150413598 like 20M. 2D animation is cheap these days.
>>150412160Unfortunately, even animated series have fallen into the "one 10-episode season every 2 years" formula in the streaming era.Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will not have the same cultural impact that the 90s show or event the 2010s show had for this reason. Also it doesn't have merch for some reason.

>>150414088>Unfortunately, even animated series have fallen into the "one 10-episode season every 2 years" formula in the streaming era.SAD
>>150412160Lets be honest with ourselves OP. The last vestiges of legacy media are completely intent on driving everything they still own into the dirt. There's alot they could do to turn the tide even now, but they wont. They dont care. They resent men, and no matter how much they need our money, they will continue to act accordingly out of sheer spite. All we can do now is wait out the collapse.
>>150414088>Also it doesn't have merch for some reason.Because merch nowadays is Funko pops, Youtooz, and other cheap plastic "Adult collector" garbage. Back in the 90s, toy companies would be tripping over themselves to make up stupid shit to make superhero toylines about. Now we're lucky if a superhero gets a fucking "Goo Jitsu" figure.
>>150412227You should revisit the Saban-Marvel era. It yielded the likes of Spidey Unlimited, Silver Surfer, and that awful Avengers cartoon. There was so much ample opportunity for certain untouched Marvel heroes to get cartoons of their own. Captain America got some test footage, concept art for an unrealized Thor series was made too, but even in spite of Marvel's other heavy hitters being off the table I still look back on that window of time and wonder why the hell they never made a Ghost Rider cartoon. Even with the subject matter being seen as too edgy for saturday mornings, they could have easily toned things down for censors in much the same way they had with Blade and Morbius in Spiderman tas. Refer to demons as aliens, avoid biblical references, rename certain characters, etc or just adapt the story of Ghost Rider 2099.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd7VinvTfiw&pp=ygUVc2FiYW4gY2FwdGFpbiBhbWVyaWNh0gcJCckJAYcqIYzv
>>150414145You know what's crazier? It took 5 years for Moose Toys to consider making a proper Goo Jit Su animated series for streaming as opposed to the youtube kids content mill trash many toy companies churn out without a second thought. That would have been unthinkable in any other time. Man of Action is said to be working on this new show but I honestly feel as though its too late.
Animation has always been popular, Hollywood is just literally retarded
Honestly, surprised Marvel didn't try making some kind of shared animated Marvel universe during the 'we need Disney+ content' era.Yeah, we had some animated projects, but it's all What If related stuff, a weird not-quire MCU Spider-Man and a continueation of an old cartoon.
>>150412244I'm trying..
>>150414135... Bring it on.
>>150414347It seems like all animated Marvel projects, unless aimed at pre-schoolers will be for years hindered by the MCU, either connecting directly to it, or suffering from it's restrictions and embargoes.
>>150414521It's outright insanity, equal parts ego tripping and corporate beligerence/stubborness. They gave up the most critical component in Marvel's success, adaptability, in exchange for hollywood fellation. Even as the ship goes down they wont cop to their grave mistake.
>>150412160It's wild to me that Marvel never tried anything like the DC animated film universe. Only a couple of those were good, but they seem to have made enough money to keep them going.
>>150412160They know. They want to believe the AI fairytale that they can reap more profit for themselves with magical free animation. They decided to shoot themselves in the foot by killing production to starve out their creatives. China is going to win the animation race this decade, and they will never catch up.
>>150414203Iron Man's theme song was such a banger:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y63i2NR9-LE>>150414327It really is. I remember when the comments made by the people that vote in the Oscars for animation got posted. It was all so unbelievably out of touch.
>>150414521The MCU did so much damage to the animated projects. Avengers Assemble was such bland looking shit because it was trying so hard to look like the MCU.
>>150414521But I'm not even talking about synergy stuff. I'd expect a lot of 'just like the movies' stuff.We haven't even gotten something like Avengers Assemble, everything is connected to the MCU (even YFNSM is a retooled MCU project). X-Men 97 is the only original thing here and that's again, just playing on nostalgia.
