I have had an insatiable love of movies my whole life and collected comics for over 20 years. The end result is I have Rain Man-like knowledge of both. As a dad of twins, I spend my time being a dad, traveling, and getting my boys caught up on all things pop culture.My favorite comic characters? Green Lantern (Hal) and Captain America (Steve).
Transformers
When Transformers first aired in 1984, anyone who was watching surely had their interests piqued once that theme song said, “more than meets the eye…robots in disguise”. When the show proved to be as fun as the song, though, viewers became hooked.
DetailsGI Joe
GI Joe was one of the biggest action hits of the 80s cartoons and a colossal success in the toy industry. Counting its beginnings as 30-second cartoon commercials, it was truly the first of the big 80s hit action cartoons. It’s gone on to have multiple remake series as well as two live-action movies.
DetailsSpies in Disguise
Spies in Disguise is a bit cheesy, but it still manages to be fun. With a spy who accidentally gets transformed into a pigeon as the premise of the movie, you would expect a level of goofiness with this movie.
DetailsThundercats
This is flat out an exciting show. If “Thundercats, ho!” means nothing to you, do yourself a favor and watch the original Thundercats series. You will not be disappointed.
DetailsSilverhawks
Those that haven’t heard of it and haven’t seen it should take the time to get to know Silverhawks. It’s exciting and fun. For its day, it was kind of an animated sci-fi masterpiece.
DetailsKnives Out
Rian Johnson took the concept of the Victorian mansion murder mystery and updated it for modern audiences, making it interesting again. It played out like the Clue board game but with additional great wit, suspense, and sardonic humor.
DetailsLet’s face it, there have been some weird cartoons over the years, and none more so than those of the 80’s. Many of these odd cartoons are now long forgotten but make for interesting peculiarities when they do pop up!
DetailsM.A.S.K.
M.A.S.K. is a gem of a cartoon that it seems the world has forgotten. However, it is such a cool concept and would be extremely ripe for turning it into a big budget blast of a movie.
DetailsHe-Man and the Masters of the Universe
The people of Eternia have a popularity that just won’t die. Since 1983 got the whole thing started, there have been multiple cartoons, spinoffs, and a movie. There’s even another movie supposedly coming out next year. So, of the cartoons, which has been your favorite?
DetailsAvengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes
Regardless the incarnation, the Avenger cartoons have all focused on the team of superheroes that, thanks to the MCU, we’re all familiar with. With Avengers Assemble possibly over, which has been your favorite Avengers cartoon?
DetailsBatman: The Animated Series
When Batman: The Animated Series came to television in 1992, it changed the field of cartoons forever.
DetailsTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
With multiple shows, toylines, and six big budget movies in their canon in addition to the comic book series, TMNT has captured the imagination of decades of children (and adults) who love their action to come with a side of fun and humor. Do you have a favorite version of the heroes in a half shell?
