Ah, boy. :roll

at least GI Joe and He-Man had consistent animation and a coherent plot. you can tell that no one at Sunbow took Transformers seriously due to the lax standards when it came to quality.

 

*blinks*

 

 

 

I dare anyone to seriously claim that GI Joe was any better animated than Transformers.

 

 

 

The thing you forget is that it was the early 80's. There were a TON of cartoons on TV at the time, but not like how it is today. They were all cheaply produced afterthoughts; animation in the 80's was a quality wasteland.

He-Man? Coherent plots? BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

*sniff*

 

Okay, had my laugh for the evening...

You can only make lame generalizations like that because there arent enough ghey GiJoeBoys to hand you your ass on a platter.

 

The Joe animation was JUST AS inconsistent as any other series from that time frame.

 

And Heman was far from being some Continuity saint.

 

I think its obvious - that different series cut corners in different ways. Whether it was through stock footage, looped action, or poor miscolorings etc.

and the G1 cartoon was by far the worse offender.

Coherent?

MOTU >>>> Transformers at least cartoon wise

HAHAHAHAHA

 

at least they animated a full episode EVER with Transformers instead of filling it with stock animation

yeah you got me there but the writing was freaking top notched... just ask beast wars :tflaugh

 

 

James Cameron directed both The Terminator and Titanic

James Cameron is a hack. He stole the idea for "The Terminator" from two episodes of the Outer Limits. Unfortunately for him, both episodes in question were written by Harlan Ellison, who sued Cameron's ass off.

 

Which is why he now spends all of his time on the bottom of the ocean masturbating to ship wrecks.

Ah right. :rofl

 

As stupid as G1 was it for the most part made sense. The only episode I remember watching recently and going Okay, now WTF was that? was Carnage in C Minor. That IMO is the worst offender ever. Everythingelse just plays like a cartoon which is fine because a lot of us wen't yet at an age where the first thing we noticed was OMFG how did prime's trailer get so huge or why are two Starscreams in the shot. :roll

 

I am so tempted right now to get a season of GIjoe and watch it for argumentive purposes.

 

Oh and for those of you who see both Flintstones, and Loony Tunes as cheap animation Good God, what are you animation experts. A lot of us wern't even alive in time to grow up watching it when it was fresh, and new. Personally I love said cartoons, and have no problem acknowledging there older cartoons. They never once struck me as cheap. That was the animation style from way back when and in my personal opinion it still looks top notch today for what is, just like I appreciate Superman, Batman or Teen Titans for the animation of today. Okay maybe not so new but I pretty much have stopped watching cartoons as far as newer stuff goes.

Anyone who says that old school Looney Tunes was cheaply animated knows jack shot. Those cartoons are classics in every sense of the word. "Craftsmanship" isn't a word you hear a lot nowadays in cartoon discussion, but it's appropriate when discussing them. They were genuine labors of love. Also keep in mind that this was before the age of television.

 

 

 

On the other hand, the Flintstones aired in the 1960's, on TV, as a weekly show. It was a different era in animation. They didn't show cartoons in movie theaters anymore. To say that Flintstones was cheaply made isn't an insult; it's just a fact. Look at the characters. How many angles do you ever see them from? One, maybe two? And I don't even think that was the point, anyway. The strength of that show was the writing.

 

 

 

Anyway I don't know if there's a point in there, so general FYI and stuff.

Ja, Hannah-Barbeara is behind some of the worst animation ever, I think the only compeditors for that positiona are the Shows Minorateam paradies, 12 Oz. Mouse and Squidbillies.

I always thought it was funny that CN used Hanna-Barbera for Powerpuff Girls since they were intentionally going for a retro look...
