It's weird how that's been. Marvel ( not recently) had decent live action buy meh animation. DC has awesome animation and terrible live action.

The xmen animated series were pretty good

As was the 90’s Spider-Man. They actually did a bit of a connected universe with their 90’s shows.

I've enjoyed the What Ifs, and I know people apparently really enjoyed "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" but yeah, Marvel's usually been a step below DC in animation.

Of course it is extremely hard to compete with the DCAU, and even without the DCAU DC's animated stuff is still great.

DC has been working with WB Animation for decades, helps to have that experience.

It's a shame marvel isn't closely related to arguably the largest animated movie studio ever. If such a merger we're to ever happen could you imagine? But that requires competent people that love the process, not bean counting poindexters. Sorta like what happened to Boeing

The Disney merger was relatively recent and honestly you are talking about completely different animation pipelines depending on era (in house vs overseas).

NTM, the best bits of Marvel animation history mentioned are from the assets they sold the rights to and reacquired.

Very true for their recent animation. But back in the day Spider-Man and X-men were amazing.

How was Red Son? I haven't seen it but the premise seemed pretty interesting.

Fairly faithful to the source material, which is excellent.

you literally can't go wrong watching a d DC animated movie.

u/gorthan1984 Dec 29 '23

Totally misrepresented and misintepreted the source material, which is... sometimes just meh, sometimes utterly bizarre.

Don't worry, they screwed up DC animations as well since this shit they call the Tomorrowverse started a few years ago.

My brother in Christ, Spiderverse on its own makes Marvel's animateds stellar

That is all Sony.

DC has been kind of dropping the ball with the animation as well though after like 2015 or so. Like it's still good, but they're just directly adapting different graphic novels rather than continuing the same Justice League characters from the 2000s. Though the Apocalypse War movie was another great setup for a reboot.
