The movies however...I can't help but wonder if the Wonder Woman film being set in WWI is because Battlefield 1 made people give a shit about WWI again.

I saw Under the Red Hood, and I liked it (though we were a bit taken aback by the language at the time, my dad was/is still in the Animation Age Ghetto). Best part about that was probably the "glass of water" scene. You know the one KNN XD.

I always get the feeling you'll just come back (as people often do, people rarely make such a permanant descision unless they have to). Under the Red Hood is one of the best animated DC films that doesn't have Kevin Conroy doing the bat. But it is legit. Some of the New 52 inspire animated movies work well too. But I think some of that was to help promote the New 52. Likely now that Rebirth happened they'll try to promote that. That's one thing anime is always gonna be better at, anime doesn't retcon their series nearly as much as the US does. US comics will retcon and throw out stories mid-series. Where as anime and manga will complete the story most of the time, the reboot/retcon years later. And in most cases it's only because they jumped the gun putting the series out the first time and the reboot is often following the source material to the later. It's pisses me off when people tell me I suck for liking FMA Brotherhood and the manga over the original FMA. The original FMA was good but Brotherhood and the manga is the story devoid of filler. Just like DBZ Kai.

Yeah the glass of water scene with Joker, was legit. But I also loved the last battle with RH and the time they teamed up on the high tech-ninja and Batman did that sweet car trick. Too ill!

My goal is to make my own stories and get them publics at least as novels. But if I sit down and religious watch shows that don't appeal to my tastes or insult my intelligence its like saying it's okay to put out BS shows for profit. It's like my roommate says "Say it with your wallet". He tells me if people buy games with cliches and and weak story and/or are knock offs of other existing stuff the developers will take that as a cue to not need to try so hard to make a profit. No need to raise the bar if people gonna put up with or enjoy shit.
