Cartoons!
Time
I used to be completely obsessed with Looney Toons, but I'm mostly over that now.

The new turtles cartoon is better as an action cartoon, but it doesn't have the cool factor of the old one. It's too modern, and the dialogue is really horrible because the words "kill" and "die" are allways substitued for words that people never say in that context. Like all of cartoon networks shows anymore.

Just look at Justice League and Teen Titans. Nobody ever dies, and the bad guys insist on "finishing" or "destroying" the heroes. Makes it loose some of the impact it should have IMHO.

Which reminds me: does anybody else remember the Canadian dub of Dragon Ball Z by Pioneerwhere nobody ever died? It was so stupid. They were allways "blasted into another dimension." Or once, When Vegeta and Nappa first crash on earth, they plow through a bunch of buildings. Vegeta actually says "It's too bad it's Sunday, or those buildings would have been full."

Funny stuff.

It isnt so bad...

Isn't so bad, maybe... but someone at fox or Lucasfilm should have detected the screw-ups and done soemthing about them. There's no reason for the saber to have been green in the Falcon Training scece. Some one should have noticed that and had it corrected.

Plus ANH is way too dark, so much that some scenes all you can see are bright objects. Maybe I exaggerate a little, but the problem is there. ESB looks fine, as far as I could tell, and I've still yet to watch all of RotJ.

Yeah, anime is fine too, and no, ric, I wasn't reffering to all anime.

I just meant the really messed up stuff that they don't dub here. I like Dragon Ball Z and the Original DB a lot, and I enjoyed Gundam WIng and YuYu Hakusho. But I just find most Anime way too steeped in Japansese sensibilities to really get into it.

Like Wolf Rain. What the kriff is with that show? And of course there's all the awful acting. I swear it seems like some anime imort companies find the worst actors imaginable for their shows.
