Comic Book Question of the Week Results: Save a TV Show

I wasn't aware of this poll when it was open but if I was, I would've voted for Young Justice. But as someone pointed out, that's probably because it's cancellation was so recent, I'm still mourning it. Well that, and that was the one show that I tried to follow the most and it was the only one that featured a wide range of DC characters. However, if these factors weren't so definitive in my decision-making, I'd have a really hard time deciding between YJ, Avengers: EMH, and Wolverine & the X-Men. Spectacular Spider-Man was really good, yet I don't feel it was quite as good as any of the aforementioned three. GL: TAS got quite good near the end, yet paled in comparison to the other four superhero toons on the list. I never really got into SW: TCW, but want to eventually, though I doubt it would hold a candle to the others. And I never watched Transformers Prime and no it does not appeal to me.

However, from what I understand, both Spectacular Spider-Man and Wolverine and the X-Men weren't canned by network executives, but were victims of Disney's acquisition of Marvel, as they had deals with the WB and Nickelodeon respectively, which Disney wanted to terminate in order to keep their newly acquired property on their own network.

Did anybody else notice that YJ's second season was only twenty episodes instead of a standard twenty-six? After noticing that and reading someone's post somewhere about how the season probably only got finished due to it already being in motion, I began to think- What if the writers had originally intended to do a full twenty-six episode season, where the team fought the forces of Apokalips in the final six episodes? Maybe the intended season really never did get completed. Well, it's something to think about. I am however, bummed by the lack of enthusiasm for a comicbook series continuing where the show left off.

I don't get how Spectacular Spider-Man or Wolverine and the X-Men be beat by Young Justice??

@Mucklefluga: yes. you will be killed in your sleep

Not surprising YJ did so well coming in at almost half, especially compared to shows like GL, since it's a lot more adult.

If only it had had proportionate coverage on this site. If only liking something to report on it wasn't a prerequisite.

Still, it lives on in our memories I guess. It will be good to rewatch in a few years, just like rewatching the earlier DCU stuff every now and then.

Where's Annoying Orange on that list?!?!?!? I want it to be saved as well!!!!

Wait, you mean it's not getting cancelled? Whoaa!!!! Thank God! Good thing they saved some lame ass anti-intellectual show at the expense of deep storylines by YJ and GL. Whiieeew! Close call for that really deserving spot Annoying Orange! Yes, you really deserve to be aired Annoying Orange!!! You f*cking deserve to be aired goddamn you!!!

What the hell are you thinking CN!?!?!?!?!?! If you wanted to compete with the stupidity of Spongebob you don't need shows like Annoying Orange! You only need to film your goddamn execs and there you go! A show full of stupidity!

I am surprised to see Wolverine and the x-Men so high, glad to actually since i voted for it.

I never got the chance to watch Spectacular Spider-man but I loved Wolverine and the X-Men, Young Justice, and Avengers. I still loved the 90s X-Men, Batman, and Superman shows as well as Justice League a bit better though. However, (speaking as an artist) I never too much cared for the animation styles of the newer comic cartoons though. I got a chance to watch the failed 80s pilot, Pryde of the X-Men and thought, this is what superhero cartoons should look like. If networks are just going to just cut the great shows they could at least make sure they are animated to perfection...

Young Justice carried the day. Figured it would!

DC has a HUGE fanbase. Not only that, but look at the time it was released. During the age of sites like Tumblr and so on, the more 'romantic' fans are able to fantasize about more ships and so forth due to the large cast and the fact that soooo much drama takes place. It's a good show, though. Season 1 was superior in my opinion. If Green Lantern didn't revolve around Hal, it would have been better haha. Bring back Spec Spider-man...and remember...more characters means more ships means more fans. xD

Of course Young Justice won; you can't end with an apperance from Darkseid and not have another season.

I don't like to see shows end but I didn't enjoy Clone Wars at all.

5 seasons and 108 episodes. Clone Wars got a nice long run. How awesome would it have been if we had gotten that for Spectacular Spider-Man, Young Justice, and GL? Unfortunately we have next to absolutely no shot for SSM due to Marvel's terrible handling of Spider-Man's licensing in tv and movies.

Why is Transformers Prime up there? It's currently in its third season.

Which is confirmed as its last season. So, it's got one foot in the grave.

wow im surprise at how low prime got, i really like that show.

I voted Green Lantern.

I always liked Wolverine and the X men, it was cancelled to soon.

It would be really cool to see a Young Justice version of Flash Point focused around the return of Wally West after he was removed from existence at the end of season 2.

Will i get attacked for saying i have never watched Young Justice?

Fanboys gonna fan.

@CitizenJP: I'm sure we would all like to see what happens next! I was just wondering if I missed something cause more than a few people are calling the ending a cliffhanger while I felt that they pretty much tied up every loose end there was. The only thing I can think of as a loose end is what happened to Wally, but most of us comic readers have a pretty good idea what happened to him so it's not really a loose end.

Didn't vote but if I did I would have voted for Young Justice.

@SuperDoahBoy: I guess I should rephrase that as, "I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!" ;P

I miss Spectacular Spiderman theme song. It's like...the best theme song ever. (EMH had good one too)

I'd save YJ. I really liked the first season alot. The second one was good though not as great as first one but I think it's because they made the cast too big and they weren't able to focus on all the characters properly. Now I'll never see more of Tim and Cassie.

@CitizenJP: What loose ends?

I guess I'm one of the only few people that didn't look at Young Justice's last episode as a total cliffhanger, yeah they could continue the story with the way it ended but it's not like they left a bunch of loose ends to be tied up. And I know I can't be the only person that wasn't surprised to see that Darkseid had some sort of hand in what was going down.

@CitizenJP: maybe they'll make a young justice animated film to conclude everything? I'd be okay with that if they can't bring back the show.

OMG that would be amazing. A good idea too. It could wrap up those loose ends nicely in an epic flick! :O

@Beast_in_the_Shadows: Glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't like CN's treatment of the Thundercats reboot.

@blackcobalt: I also felt the same way when I heard about Clone Wars ending. I got a better shake than most other shows.

@RavenVice01: I'm far from a fan of Batman, but I actually liked The Brave & The Bold when I gave it a shot. It didn't carry itself as serious as some of the other shows but it wasn't that bad.

WHAT!!!!!! WHY WASN"T X MEN EVOLUTION ON THAT LIST!!!!!?????? 

@Mucklefluga: No well I wont I just will put you infront of a tv and make you watch them mind you will be very comfy

I voted Young Justice because one of the ending and two, I think it was getting really interesting. It was a great show with a good cast of characters.

Spectacular Spidey > Young Justice (Overly Melodramatic Teenage Soap Opera)

I'm glad our fellow users know a good TV show we have one. Young Justice had more potential than Green Lantern and would have drawn a lot more attention but now we are stuck with a lame version of Teen Titans and the impending Beware the Batman. Hopefully this Batman series won't be as bad as Batman Brave and the Bold.

Spectacular Spidey > Young Justice (Overly Melodramatic Teenage Soap Opera)

I'm really surprised that Transformers Prime got so little votes.

@Beast_in_the_Shadows: Once a poll is created it cannot be altered. The only option would be to delete it and create a new one.

my favourite part of young justice was when it ended

Oh if only threads like this or Kickstarter were around when Spider-Man: The Animated Series was cancelled. And I actually liked the ending that show had.

@Duo_forbidden:

Clone Wars has had 5 seasons. It's gotten its chance to tell its stories, and it was wonderful. These other shows were cut off as they were approaching their prime.

I didn't vote because i was hoping you guys would add a spot to vote for the Thundercats reboot. Tho out of those shows I would have voted for either Spectacular of Earth's Mightiest. They were both great shows that did a good job of translating the source material to the tv medium.

Tho I am usually a DC supporter, Young Justice just didn't work for me. It's production values were great and it had a good team behind it, But for me it was lacking when it came to story. A lot of the foreshadowing was very blatant and most the characters were rather flat. True with such a big cast, you can't flesh them all out, but still their most developed characters had some pretty glaring flaws for me. Lastly I just didn't like a lot of the liberties they took with the source material, just reminded me about how DC had changed everything I liked about all the characters I liked with the reboot. However, with all the problems I had with it, I still fell it deserved better treatment than CN gave it. It's more or less the same thing they did to Symbionic Titan and Thundercats. I guess in that regard YJ was lucky to even get a second season considering how CN seems to drop their best stuff right away.

YJ deserved it's win. Kinda disappointed to see Transformers Prime to be in last place even though it's amazinfg

@Mucklefluga: by the time I respond to your post you'll be dead.

I can't believe GL:TAS or YJ got cancelled for TTG!. Wow, that was a lot of acronyms

Exec 1:"Hey, let's kill off some fan favorites to bring back a show we had a long time ago! But hm... how do we make it new and fresh?"

Exec 2: "Chibi them? People will go crazy over their chibi cuteness and aw! Think of the dolls we'll sell!"

Exec 1: "GENIUS! KILL YOUNG JUSTICE AND GREEN LANTERN!"

Exec 3: "Right after we show Darkseid? And before Green Lantern reaches its potential?"

Exec 1: "Yes. I want to see them cry"

I missed out on the voting but Avengers and Young Justice were great. Avengers was probably the best show ever that brought comic storylines to the screen without taking it too literally. Young justice was good but the scheduling of the show and awkward breaks during storylines lines did not help!

@Mucklefluga:

no, but you might want to see it.

This could help to save it if everyone did this. It's all about sending in letters to the network

http://youngjustice.wikia.com/wiki/Young_Justice_Wiki:Save_Young_Justice

Feels like people are still flying a little too close to the sun in regards to Young Justice. To me that show is just yet another really good show from the DCAU in a long line of good to great animated series from DC. Spider-Man has had plenty of good cartoons too though I admit that Spectacular is probably the best one I've seen. Avengers have never been given a good series or animated feature film until EMH. We may never get another good Avengers cartoon ever again where as there's a chance we'll still get DC and Spider-Man cartoons that are at least decent if not really great. I don't agree with the results of the vote but I accept that nobody wants their favorite comic characters taken off the air.

Not surprised. I am somewhat surprised how low Clone Wars was ranked.

@consolemaster001: Whoa, watch out guys, we got a badass over here.
