Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Legion in JLU Cartoon/Legion Series...Official Thread

Yuck! It's pretty much what I feared. Oh, well.

I wish I was as optimistic as you guys but I can see this series getting lost in the rest of the cartoons that all look exactly like this. If I wasn't a comics fan, I'd say "why'd they change all of the Teen Titans looks?"

Like doublechinner says they had a perfect opportunity to come up with something new to animation, but went with the tired, old stereotypical modern day 'toon.

I can't help but smile when I look at that picture. Maybe it's not how I would have everyone & thing, but its the legion on TV! Gleee!

I wonder how the fatal five will look & who the next villain in line will be.

Well I amnotafan of this style and could not watch the awful Titans cartoon, but if the stories are good I can forgive the funny art.

And as APB says, Good god! This is the LEGION on TV. How long have we waited for this.

Wesley Crusher as Cosmic Boy . Wil Wheaton got the recurring role as Rokk.

Hmm, an oft-hated Star Trek character playing an oft-hated Legionnaire. Wonder if I should point out the Cosmic Boy Death League to him?

Actually, it reminds me more of The Clone Wars series....which all told were better than the movies...

Jamie

Hmm... Invisible Kid is actually the Legionnaire whose always reminded me of Wesley Crusher, especially the post-Zero Hour version.

I will have to see how the characters look in motion. As long as the series isn't overly cutesy, I can be a little tolerant of the art

Wil Wheaton as Cosmic Boy. That's just about too perfect really. It's nice for him though. He's sort of emerged from the irritating shadow of Wesley to seeming like a likeable guy that's scraping a living on the margins of the entertainment biz.

Anyway, like Far says, it's the LEGION ON TV! I wouldn't care if it was stop motion animated with Precious Moments figurines really.

I agree -- Legion on TV! As long as it is not TOTAL crap, then woo-hoo!

My son loves the Teen Titans show, and I confess I love it too. While it would be fun for an older crowd to have a show more in tune with the Wolfman/Perez Titans, there really AREN'T shows like that. We are too small an audience. Having said that, I think the TT show hit almost all of the high points of the Titans for the last 25 years, in their own way. And the characters are well-done, and just damn funny. My son LOVES Raven, and I agree that her animated self is much more interesting and fun than the comics version. The anime-cutesy was overdone at first, but by the end they really had a nice balance of that stuff. The show was clearly done with great love for the source material. I think Legion will turn out the same.

FYI, I think Will Wheaton voiced Aqualad on Teen Titans. His work fit in really great with the other voice actors, and I never once thought, "why does Aqualad sound like Wesley Crusher?"

Awe, I think kinda fun! SG's eyebrows could be roated 30 degrees down or so but overall I kinda like the costume designs. Don't tell me you're not gonna buy the lunchbox and trapper keeper! I wonder if they're gonna touch on romance between SG and LL?

Well I'm ticked. Tuesday has always been the day the supermarkets get the following week's TV Guide. Been that way since I was a kid. So I went and made a special stop today only to find them just putting out this week's edition that started May 1. This was at two Albertsons. Smiths was even worse. They didn't even have a copy of this week's edition, let alone next week's. And the four stores I tried had already put out their magazines for the week. They won't get their next shipment until next Tuesday.

this first image of the legion toon almost moved me to tears, i LOVE it.
finally, a legion a could like again...

Dammit, Brainy, what were you told about consuming alien substances? Kick the habit!

Saturn Girl really needs a belt to have the belt buckle. As it is, it looks like she's got a button in the wrong place.

And this is just plain silly. I mean how sensitive are people these days? Why punish an entire community because a few people can't handle reading some spoilers. Get a [SPOILER] tag for gosh sakes!

Just another reason Legion World is superior!!

(Suck up? Moi? Nevah! )

Someone asked why Phantom Girl instead of some other female Legionnaire - it's easy. They're using Winema Wazzo as the UP president, so now they get the mother/authority figure role to play against the daughter/rebel figure role.

I have to say that I rather much like the look of this Legion cartoon. Brainiac 5 is really the only character that I'm not wild about. He looks like Chibi Brainy. But, all the rest of them look great.

Universo.

I can't help but imagine we'll see Universo soon. Anyone with a monocle is made for animation. Plus he's always good fodder for a Saturn-Girl centric story. By the same reasoning we should see Mekt early on too.

Fantastic.
Just as the Titan personalities were tweaked...I can't help but wonder if even-tempered comic book Brainy will become whiny little coward Brainy in animation, given that SD look.

To Saturn Girl:
"Those aren't your eyebrows! Those are snakes, drop 'em!"

As far as Imra's eyebrows, I think it seems likely that they're playing her as a Vulcan-type.
Nobody's mentioned it, and it's very possible that they don't want to overSuper Superboy, but if Cosmic Boy's going to be in it (no mention in the official blurb) what about Ultra Boy?

I also agree that the Legion needs Cham. Vi and Gim would be very nice too, for that matter.

Hmph. I got the TV Guide in the mail. They obviously don't know a major news story when it's staring them in the face. I was expecting at least a double page spread, but the picture's about the size of two postage stamps. Bouncing Boy's still cropped out too. Bah!

Hm...I see why Phantom Girl looks so strung out. Mothers can do that to their teens. (Scroll down to see April Winchell, voicing Winema Wazzo.)

I like the way they all look a little weird with alien eyes, etc....

This whole thing thrills me and I plan on buying each and every bit of merchandise that comes of it!

AR listers, prepare!

I think that with any tv production, they aim at a certain demographic, because they're the majority not us hardcore fans. So I'm just happy we're getting a LSH show! I loved the Teen Titan art, so this works for me, and while the JLU style was awesome, things change.
