Title: How did you feel about Supergirl staying with Brainiac? Post by: Megatron on June 16, 2006, 03:44:10 PM Not sure if this should be in the Animated Adventures forum but for those of you who've seen "Far From Home" (Justice League Unlimited) what did you think about Supergirl staying in the future with Brainiac 5?
I'm quite upset over it actually, does this mean she won't be in any more upcoming cartoons? Title: Re: How did you feel about Supergirl staying with Brainiac? Post by: MatterEaterLad on June 16, 2006, 03:57:35 PM Isn't this the last year and last few episodes for Justice League?

If it is, i'll understand about her part of the story ending there.Title: Re: How did you feel about Supergirl staying with Brainiac? Post by: Super Monkey on June 16, 2006, 04:27:52 PM Does it matter? The series is over, there will be no new shows.
The new Legion TV Show may use a different universe/timeline Title: Re: How did you feel about Supergirl staying with Brainiac? Post by: MatterEaterLad on June 16, 2006, 04:30:24 PM It seems that the last two part episode of the series aired in the first two weeks of May...

Yes, sadly Cartoon Network soured on the show for some reason during the last season and delay shows, and never ever showed any replays. So if you missed it, then you better hope that they get around to it on DVD years from now... Title: Re: How did you feel about Supergirl staying with Brainiac? Post by: TELLE on June 16, 2006, 07:02:05 PM Yeah, it' over. It was a fun show --at least the half dozen episodes I saw in their entirety. Some crappy modern continuity but lots of homages to classic comics and the video debuts of tons of obscure DC heroes and villains.
Kara moving to the future was a fitting end to her story arc, promising the character happiness and a boyfriend --and tidies up the DC universe for the powers-that-be. Title: Re: How did you feel about Supergirl staying with Brainiac? Post by: MatterEaterLad on June 16, 2006, 07:27:49 PM There were always enough homages to the old comics to keep me interested in the Timm's cartoons, enough that the "hybrid" stories with modern elements didn't bother me...and you would never catch one character beating someone else to a bloody death either... :D

Seriously, I didn't mean to come off as a know it all, just letting you know, that it doesn't matter since the show is over, so you can relax.

It's a TV Show, not a comic.. However the TAs continuity is so superior to the modern comic continuity it isn't even funny in my opinion. Frankly TAS to me is the only decent post crisis Superman/ DCU fix that is availible. If the comics were done like the show I would be buying more comics, lots more comics Title: Re: How did you feel about Supergirl staying with Brainiac? Post by: Permanus on June 18, 2006, 03:01:52 AM I've only seen Superman and Batman TAS, and not many of them, but I thought they were surprisingly good. Are they all supposed to be set within the same continuity? I didn't realise that.

The ending made sense for that rendition of Kara, who's not -quite- from Krypton and didn't have -quite- the same cousin tie to Superman. The big problem I had with that episode was that it was rushed, so the romance was super-forced. With a cast the size of the Legion, it should've been a two-parter, like the other time travel episodes showing new bunches of characters were. If the Fatal Five wasn't "bad" enough, have Mordru be behind the scenes. I think part of the point was establishing parity between the Justice League and the Legion Of Doom (by any other name), so they get rid of some big guns from the JL side (Supergirl, Martian Manhunter), while still keeping them available if need be. |
