I've seen all the superman eps when I was younger. I was bored to hell and
back, and I don't give a care that Superman has excellent animation
compaired to the garbage (Capt planet as example) they're thunking millions
into now. And BTW, I'm part of Generation X, NOT the newer kidzy generation
that my idiot brother falls into whether he likes it or not.

I was saying that when it comes to things animated in Japan that look anime,
or just plain anime, people like it, or hate it. Ted obviously hated it, but
he obviously wanted the best for Capt. Planet, trying to appeal to everyone
at the same time, which really pisses everyone off! (As you can tell, I'm
not in a very nice mood now.)

I've looked. My idiot brother's generation loves violence, but this is the
little I've seen. These punny eight year olds would rather play gore-fest
games and watch more violent shows. Look at how popular Power Rangers is and
it's packed with beating people up!

Yeah. People don't like change. SWAT Kats was entirly different from
evreything else I've seen. And being a cartoon in America, where exagerated
personalliaties are normal, it would only fit that the not normal would get
sacked . The change would be sacked for tradition.

It's just now surfacing? Geez! I thought Ted would have already married
Barney, and given Barney her own network (and yes, I know Barney's a guy,
but I don't care!)
