I prefer Marvel generally but DC's "DC Universe Animated Original Movies" are pretty damn awesome in my opinion

Oh they’re very good, I’m not saying they’re not by any means. As I said earlier though, as good as they are I don’t think a few hour long movies make up for the pretty stupid decisions that have been made with their recent string of animated series.

Who are the main couples in the hive? Surely fabulicous and papillon are one of the best but like others who are Anonymous
It’s been a while since I’ve participated in the Hive’s RP skype group, but the last pairings I can remember are:
Fickle Aura/Emeera
Rychen/Partway Mist
Holly Mistletoe/Buzz Buzz (Sort of)
Flying Ace/Papi
Flying Ace/Fickle
Papi/Fickle
Papi/Fabi
etc. -
nova would probably try and go on a roaring rampage of revenge from all the holes in the ceiling and his hat being stolen.
Oh I have no doubt.
-
but I just cant help but picture what would happen... and GOD FORBID it became the size of chitin!
Again, wouldn’t happen, but if it did another Behemoth being in the hive wouldn’t happen. That’s a genetic anomaly that doesn’t happen often.

Lol what if buzz buzz was in love with a crazy changeling just like him? I bet the hive would go crazy Anonymous
I think Buzz Buzz is too simple and innocent to have an understanding of love. It would definitely cause chaos if it were to happen, but it likely wouldn’t happen.
-
oh god I just had the most terrifying thought... what if papi made a nymph... with buzz buzz?
Not likely to happen. Papi knows better than to let more of that into the world.

So do you only read Superhero comics, or have you read the non "cape" stuff like Y: The Last Man, Sweet Tooth, Preacher, Daytripper, etc
I don’t read comics, really. I watch movies and the occasional show, and try to educate myself on the characters’ stories and histories while doing so.

I can't disagree. And their reasoning was because the wrong audience was watching it. Sound familiar?
Yep, and I’m not sure whether that’s on DC/Warner Bros. or on Cartoon Network alone. Either way, that narrowed focus on a single or a few demographics does not speak well to their planning or extent of their endgame.
For those unaware, the shows Green Lantern: The animated series, Beware the Batman, and Young Justice were all pulled from Cartoon Network’s DC block not because they were bad shows, or poorly reviewed, but because they attracted groups outside of the expected.
Unlike Hasbro, who has kind of embraced the greater reach of some of its properties, no matter how you feel about that, DC/WB did the opposite.
The three shows mentioned were well reviewed and well received by viewers, and drew a respectable audience. The only problem is that instead of attracting the 6-10 year old male demographic alone the shows were garnering viewership from older males, and many females because they were good shows. These unpredicted demographics don’t buy merchandise (toys that are rarely if ever advertised and may not be made) though, so the shows were canceled without allowing for other forms of merchandise as competitors have done. -
when it comes to tv shows, both animated and live, i think DC has it, as well as in animated movies, but for live action movies, Marvel killed it with Avengers. as for Agents of Shield, my dad watches it, but i don't, though the writers were kinda stupid with it recently.
As I said, I can’t speak for the live action shows, as I haven’t seen either of them.
Animation though, Marvel has more successful ones at the moment, and more that have been allowed to pan out in the past few years. Though they were short lived, Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and Spectacular Spiderman were fantastic shows, that were cancelled due to transitional troubles, at least for the latter.
DC on the other hand seems to have no faith in its animated series, having cancelled 3 midseason despite excellent reviews and watcher feedback. Their animated movies are pretty good, but personally I don’t think that one respectable hour long movie is worth losing Beware the Batman, Green Lantern, and Young Justice, while Teen Titans GO! remains the only consistent DC animated series they have. That they got rid of such good shows, and left such a mediocre one disappoints me. -
Even still. Their competition is marvel who owns the corner market of movies. I think DC should stick to TV and own that market. Cause they are doing good with arrow.
I’ve not watched Arrow, mostly because it’s on while I’m usually at work, but I have heard very, very good things. DC does have some competition in live action TV with Agents of Shield though, which I also have not seen, but have also heard good things on.
As far as animated, I’d say that Marvel has been making better decisions than DC of late, outside of the occasional decent animated short film.
