Think the recent Wonder Twin comics were well-liked. Though I've always assumed Chief in the Wonder Woman movie was a nod to Apache Chief.

Hey I know you

They were pretty good in Young Justice! Wish more of them had stuck around tho

They weren’t intended as stereotypes. They were actually a ham-fisted 1970s attempt to be inclusive. But they never got beyond the surface because it was the superfriends, a not very good show, and these guys just divided focus rather than, y’no, seeming important. It didn’t help any that they were created for the show and had no existence in print outside of it as far as I can remember

Hell, the real funny thing was they were still progressive for the time as well. It's like fighting games. You take stereotypes but make them fun characters. I bring up fighting games specifically because of the design ethos around those characters requires you to immediately identify what they are about or make you interested in playing them because they used to be takes 30 seconds or less to choose a character in the select screen for an arcade and each character had to visually look unique or seem fun to play so lot of fighting games used stereotypes in the old days with striking colors to get people to want to play em and used interesting mechanics for each character. Take the difference between say Shaun and Balrog. Ones a stereotypical B-baller Black kid into hiphop and such and the other was just Mike Tyson till they made him more angry Black guy dirty boxer. But both characters get a lot of love and are liked by people. Shaun was made the student of Ken whose extremely popular and his version of Ken's Shotokon/Ansatsu gives him big protagonist energy throwing his all behind attacks in his animation and he's just fun loving. Balrog meanwhile his in fighter style boxing has always been popular with people who want to just keep rushing down the opponent and not give an inch and he's even evolved as a character where he ends up picking up Ed who he trains and is basically an adopted son to him and their dynamic is rather interesting that someone as hard ass and angry as him can raise such a good kid who cares a lot about Balrog having a mix of boxing and his own powers. Then you have characters like Dee Jay. Jamaican capoiera dude who just loves to party. People liked how well he was to spam and play but love him even more now cause of a design update yet he's still the same character whose fun loving and literally teaches your custom character to fight like him by getting you to dance at a party he's throwing. This even informs the series as a whole. Street Fighter was the most Street with 3rd Strike. The most popular and well received in terms of visuals and staying power. With SF6 they returned back to that feel and gave you even more diverse roster and customization for your characters. Like, say what you will about stereotypes but the funny thing is the player base for fighting games are some of the most diverse in gaming. Got people around the world from Pakistan, Isreal, Japan, Korea, France, Mexico, US, Canada, Nigeria and the like all going to compete at big events along with just talking with people and trying to find new ways to communicate ideas to each other and this is literally games that were built on stereotypes yet at the time they were actually pretty new and groundbreaking. Chun Li was one of the fist female fighters you can play. Zangief has been gay since 2, people when they were young thought Dhalsim was evil cause of his looks but he's one of the chillest dudes, E. Honda was every kids go to if the couldn't play characters cause of his Hundred Hands Slaps and my aunt loved using him, Poison's been trans since Final Fight days, Luke is probably the best character they could have made for new generation of players with a voice actor that has really taken to the role and embodies the character online on Twitter doing memes voice work, playing the game and helping out with art stuff which fits the actual character. Even the custom character for story mode pretty much made everyone really have fun making their own OC's and play along with a fact someone pointed out that unlike a lot of games, the default create a character in SF6 is a Black kid people been using for fanart comics to represent players. Really shows that you can find value in a lot of things especially when you see those stereotyped characters were actually earnest attempts to make fun and interesting characters.

Yeah. I always noticed that, he never appeared anywhere else. Though I guess that wonder of joining the league on principle was all he ever wanted. The fact that they counted him among him is fantastic.

Yeaa. Makes me sad. Its like a MakeAWish situation. “Sure, buddy. We’ll make you an honorary member of the League.” 🥺😭

If I remember correctly, Dwayne Mcduffie confirmed on his old site shortly after the episode originally aired that that is exactly what happened. The final scene is meant to be a metaphor of Longshadow entering heaven/Valhalla/whathaveyou.

He was basically one of those make a wish kids because he knew he wasn't going to live long

I recall watching this episode and not understanding the more nuanced aspects of it but did find the Cadmus plans tô be utterly insano. Cadmus posits itself as being a defense line againste all threats including the Justice League should they ever decide to turn on maniind or be forced to, however every project they ever made was immediately used in attempting to kill the JL. If anything not only does it give reason for the JL to attack Cadmus, thereby causing the scenario they wanted to avoid, but also weakens Earth overall. If they fail Earth loses Cadmus, if they succeed Earth loses JL without the latter's provocation. Best bet for Cadmus would be to use their resources against the super criminals and bolster an planetary defense. It helps the Jl protect Earth while working out any issue with said plans. Worst case Cadmus can aid JL, best case Cadmus replaces JL as the defacto protector and maybe even defeat JL should they turn

It's also a representation of the writers and artists of comics who get replaced all the time

This has always been one of the shows greatest strengths, they aren’t just gonna dismiss or mock lesser known heroes because their not big names or look as cool as others, they will pay them all great respect and show off why they’re cool (great example is patriot act and the seven soldiers of victory)

Destroyer. Because it ends the series. :(

And that's the correct answer to that question

​@MBOmnis I don't know. Better to go out on top than to keep popping out crap long after you've ran out of stores to tell.

I don't love the one where they all turn into kids

​@@aguywithalotofopinions412Same! It was annoying

I think the ultimen were at the end of their lifespan.

That would have been cool like his last stand telling Cadmus I’m not your puppet anymore and he takes out a lot of “stronger” ultimen single handily to prove he’s better than the copy paste but ends with him dying with a smile on his face

Poor Tim

Too bad this version of Aquaman sucked, though

Such a good point! I really need to watch this episode again

and they were also recurring villains in the superfriends animated show

No, they weren't a parody of offensive characters because people weren't clinically offended over nothing like they are today. Things were better back then.

​@@PlaguedByEarthyes they are..?

Watches video:but I liked marvels ultimatum😢

@Javon Tetreault What did you like about it? This isn't a debate trojin horse I sincerely want to know.

RIP: Mr Romita Sr. My condolences to Romita Jr and his family,friends.

AGREED. Well said.

The king of corny

bruh they competing over me like DC and Marvel

They really do NOT….😂

To be fair, there are some other comics that did "The Boys before the boys", but not many cartoons though.

This is really nothing like the boys 😂

There have been many “kid shows” in recent years that deal with similar topics. A lot of people just don’t give them a chance, either because they don’t watch those shows, being an adult, or they do, but judge too harshly due to their biases + only look at the shows on a surface level.

@@zetjet9901 Well dude, a lot of these kids shows that tackled Adult Themes like Adventure Time have a sense of dialogue that WAS charming at first. . .Then every millennial writer tried to copy it and it got annoying. Also, I wanna say? I don't really watch these shows anymore. I don't have time between coding and martial arts and having a social life. I do have 30 minutes a day to have KZfaqrs recant them, however.

Thats part of the channels charm

Perhaps they were children with super powers. Stress of awakening them killed them so the government took the dna and tried to make new copies .

@@henrymcbark7337 that seems like as valid an explanation as any.
