Shows I'd like to see Chuck review

[Rodan56]

-Batman and Harley Quinn: It's the first piece of new DCAU media in almost two decades, it would be interesting to see his thoughts on it-And how he would try to fit it into the larger DCAU timeline.

People keep saying this, but I feel like there is a misunderstanding. It borrows the aesthetic and art style of the series, but it isn't in the same universe as the DCAU. It's more accurate to say it is a homage to the original Bruce Timm style more than anything, a stand alone piece. Because in terms of timeline it doesn't fit anywhere within the DCAU. They've even said multiple times it pays homage to BTAS but it is not in the same universe.

------------------------------

Onto the subject at hand. I'm still waiting on a review I requested ages ago, but there are some things I've kinda hoped Chuck would get around to. Some more Godzilla movies, specifically from the Showa era which we're getting, Last Starfighter because that's a feelgood movie for me. Something I put on to feel happy, just happy. Nothing complicated, nothing super deep about it, just I like how it makes me happy is all.

Part of me would love to see him review the Spectacular Spider-Man series or Transformers Prime, I'd really love to see him look at the 2012 Ninja Turtles series which I feel is one of the best TMNT cartoons made. While the IDW comics may be the definitive version of the turtles, I consider the 2012 cartoon my favorite series out of the franchise so far.

More modern films, District 9 for one, that's something I'll probably request once I'm able to do so. I'm waiting until my last one is covered before I ask for the next one. Dredd, Jurassic World, Upgrade of course, I feel that one is right up his alley in terms of sci-fi.

Star Wars Rebels, I'd really like to see that covered from him in due time. Honestly, I'm glad with how it ended, but I still kinda miss it I guess. I'll probably rewatch the whole series eventually.

And, just for the hell of it, Netflix series like Dragon Prince, maybe the Voltron series, those could be fun.

I've had a lot of time to think about these choices I suppose. Been a long time since I last made a request. I'm hoping he's close to doing the movie I requested. We'll see. He's clearly got more on his plate than I thought.

Bruce Timm has stated in interviews that it is a return to the DCAU saying "it was just an excuse to kind of go back to the BTAS world",[18] "I personally kind of think of it as a continuation of Batman: The Animated Series, and the DC Animated Universe",[19] and in an interview with ComicBook.com that it was always his intent for the film to be in continuity but went on to state that he's "not actually in control of what’s in continuity and what isn’t" [20] implying that it was up to the corporate entities of Warner brothers and DC Comics.

Clearing up the confusion, Warner Brothers has billed the movie stating "Bruce Timm returns to his Batman: The Animated Series roots."[21] DC has listed the film as a Batman: the Animated Series movie on their website[22] and on the back of the trade collection of the movies tie-in comics stated "Head back to the universe of Batman: The Animated Series in Batman and Harley Quinn" [23]

I still feel that, given everything that has been stated and everything we know about the movie and the series, it's not REALLY in canon with it. It might be an intention, but it feels more like a flimsy "we aren't saying it is but also not saying it isn't" coy little runaround to get themselves out anything concrete. Like the art style, they're just using the implications of it being BTAS to draw people into the film itself. Which honestly does more to hurt the movie than help it as so many people seem to hate it for being in continuity with BTAS rather than its own thing.

For me, this isn't really concrete evidence of a confirmation, it's a marketing strategy based off of what DC thinks will convince people to buy or seek it out. But this is off topic, so whatever.

So you're saying that the characters don't really act the same way in the movie as they do in the show? Well this video might help explain things a bit:

I have a feeling that Elfen Lied would be the new Kannazuki No Miko for him. And I say that as someone who at least initially liked Elfen Lied.

Would it be like the first part of KnM where he was mocking and deriding it and giving out breast points at the end? Or would it be more like the second part which wasn't any fun to watch and had Chuck bitching about how one of the so called heroes was a rapist?

[Admiral X]

The second part.

I kind of want to see him review the Monty Python's Flying Circus episode You're No Fun Anymore, or rather the final 2/3rds of it that are the Science Fiction sketch (actually an interlocking set of scenes), where people all over England are being turned into Scotsman by some mysterious force... I realize Chuck shies away from good (or even bad comedy) because there is a limited amount to say but I think he could find some useful take on it to talk for a few minutes, about Monty Python's influence on comedy etc.

Also Frankenstein, probably the classic Boris Karloff version but really any version would do, nice to hear him go on a bit about what he takes as the essence and influence of such a foundational story in science fiction is...

I never saw his KnM reviews. What did he say?

[SabreMau]

At this point, my feelings on this series are abundantly clear. It was, at the best of times, laughably bad, and at the worst of times, shockingly offensively bad. The show reached a point where even trying to make fun of it felt like I was guilty by association. Internet critics are famous for the hyperbole, so let me just say that I am being serious when I say, if you gave me a choice between watching this entire series again or breaking my leg, I would have to think about it first.

Kannazuki no Miko feels like it was made by taking slashfic written by a virgin and then having it revised into a script by a robot. It knows of the things it speaks, but has no competent demonstration of what they actually mean. This series has an understanding of love you don't normally see outside of a stalker, and masturbates with the frequency of a lonely monkey trapped in a Viagra warehouse. This show is on my Avoid list. It might start in a let's-make-fun-of-it place, but eventually, you're just going to feel oily watching it.

WOW. Wonder what his thoughts of Elfen Lied would be, with its blatant imagery of a hellish experiment facility caging naked bloodied teenage and prepubescent girls not even trying to hide their bodies? Plus there's Lucy's naked escape scene, and all the fanservice stuff with Nyuu... yeah.
