Matt Zimmer's Journal

There are two comic book based cartoons that I look back on not just in regret. But in anger that the people put in charge of them actually got something that shoddy on the air. These two cartoons I'm gonna go a little in-depth about are pretty much everything you should NEVER do in a superhero cartoon. What pisses me off the most is that most of the biggest complaints I had about both shows are self-evident. For both of these shows their shark-jumping, show-destroying moments would never have occurred to a halfway competent showrunner.

The worst comic book cartoons (in my opinion) are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 and Marvel's Avengers: Black Panther's Quest.

I'll discuss why they each suck in-depth below the fold. But before I do, I want to point out something annoying. Neither cartoon is as hated as it should be. Indeed TMNT 2012 is actually quite well-regarded by both Turtles and cartoon fans. And while everybody talks shit about the Jeph Loeb Marvel shows (for good reason) the most damning criticisms I've seen of the horrible fifth season of Avengers Assemble are basically Anti-Woke complaints. It's like people complaining about that shit were handed a perfectly horrible show to bash, and they were too dumb to understand that their trolling and review bombing aside, no, the show actually sucked. If racist trolls had a slight measure of intelligence they could be taking down that entire show point by point based solely on its quality. But racists trolls are so dumb they don't even know what they should be complaining about.

Rants ahead.

I don't usually let you know a project totally sucked before my review but Blindspot's last episode was a special level of Hell. If you've never seen the show, count yourself lucky and stay away from it.
