As we are coming into a New Year, I always try to think of something fun to do, so here is a double dose of superhero cartoon music. Being of the Saturday Morning cartoon generation, I love cartoon intros. Their animation was usually better than the animation of the show, and if the music was good, I could, and still can, watch ‘em over and over again. So here is my list of the best ones. As I mention in one of the videos, it’s interesting to note that DC has like, nearly no theme songs! Occasionally they have voice over (faster than a speeding bullet, and all that) but no singing. So, DC dominates the theme list and Marvel dominates the song list. Also, I try to make it clear that songs are different than themes. It’s a pet peeve of mine to see other people’s lists and see them include songs on a theme list. They are both fairly different artforms, so I feel it’s not fair to compare, say John Willaim’s Superman theme with the Beatles’ Yesterday. So that’s why there are two lists.
I’m also doing this because I feel like the cartoon (and live action show’s) intros are going away. While Disney is the biggest offender, they just slap the show logo on the screen, Warner Bros isn’t too far behind. Beware the Batman and even Justice League Action, are just barely 20 seconds long. That’s just no fun for nerds like me. Heck I remember years back a guy at a Chicago comicbook convention got on stage and started to recite the lyrics to the 1960’s Spider-Man cartoon- in a Shakespearean voice. The crowd loved it. So this is mine little way to celebrate the superhero cartoon intro theme/song. While sure bad ones are quite forgettable, good ones stay with ya forever! Enjoy
Hey Party People,
I hope I'm not spoiling anything here, I waited as long as I thought I should. Because now I'm going to dig into Avengers Endgame and talk about.... what the hell was that!? Now this isn't a so-called “thing bad” video. Because for the most part, I really liked the film. ...
Hey party people. I'll be honesty with ya. Sometimes it takes a loooong time to finish one of these video ones. So I thought I'd do myself a favor by making some shorter ones. So ta-da, under six minutes! Next month's video will be too, as I tackle some fun comicbook trivia. This month I talk ...
Hey Party People,
Seems you all enjoy the Superfriends as much as I do, so I thought I'd make another video of them! At the same time, I came up with a new concept for videos: Why it's Great! Where I will list a few reasons why something is great. Preferably something not...
Hey party people, welcome to my latest video! For this one I dive deep into Wonder Woman (stop it). As DC Comics has proven over the past 70 years that they have no idea what to do with her. I mean, when she came out, she was selling like three comics (Sensation,...
Hey animation fans, got a another Animator on Animation for ya. This time I talk about the one of the craziest shows Disney TV ever made: Gargoyles! Seriously, whoever thought Disney would ever make such a show! It's just so hardcore action- basically Disney's answer to Warner Bros. Batman: The Animated Series....
Hey party people, in a mad dash to get this video up before the Halloween. So I don't have too much to say about it other than, I love classic monster movies- ever since my youth of watching the Son of Svengoolie in Chicago. Funny to think that Chicago gave the USA, Oprah...
Hey party people, confession time, I'm more of a DC fan than a Marvel fan. So putting this list together was kinda tough. I hit up a lot of Marvel fans for notes- but they were all over the place! Marvel was such a powerhouse in the 1980's, basically all their books...
Hey Party People,
Here's my latest video, and can you believe it's not a Superhero Pow!? Yes, it's a new series called Animator on Animation. Where I, you're host animator, will look at some animation clips, and talk about what's good about them and what's bad about them. Along the way I'll tell...
Hey party people, here is my latest video, The Most- as in which superhero is the most- pick a category. I'm sure you know how much us superhero fans enjoy arguing about superheroes. Who's the strongest, who's the fastest, etc. Well this (possible) series will help answer those questions (inspire heated debate,...
Wowie, wow, wow, wow! Creating videos is hard work! This one took longer than I hoped, and it was aided by the fact that I started to do a little bit more writing for Anititcool.com. You can swing by there and read some of my, “This Week in Comics” articles. That,...
Hey party people, welcome to what really was suppose to be the April video! You can read my last blog to see what went wrong. Corvid-19 being one of them. So the good news is, I'm almost back on schedule. I don't think I can get May's video up in the...
So this just a fun short one talking about Wonder Woman wardrobe. To steal a joke from Svengoolie: “You'd like to see more of Wonder Woman on TV? So would I, but that's as small as the censor's will allow her costume to be.” But seriously, this was something I found /...
