I agree so much with this. I would also add X-Men. The cartoons have been so much better than the movies. The movies (yes all of them) might have a few good scenes, but they toned down the comic bookness of it. They as a whole suck.
The cartoons stay killing. Still has the best Phoenix adaptation. The new X-Men 97 shows it can adapt a lot more storylines without skipping a beat.
I mean X-Men TAS/97, Evolution, and Wolverine and the X-Men. All good in their own way. I prefer my 90s baby, but they are all better than the movies.
The thing is Deadpool proved you can make it work. Let's hope Disney learned this lesson too.
What I didn't like about the X-Men movies is they just kept the same and continues the story. And that's a big gripe I have with Marvel too.
Let comics do their thing, have new stories and new arcs instead of some 20+ hour cinematic universe. Its comics, they don't all have the same continuity. And stop telling origin stories, we know how the superheroes became superheroes, and even if the audience didn't, it doesn't matter to be able to tell a story with that character anyway.
Oh but how will you know that Batman's parents were killed when he was a boy?
