I agree, the Grantray cartoons rocked my world when I was saw them 30 years ago, and in some ways, their still the best, most faithful cartoon versions of the old Marvel stuff ever made. (The Sub-Mariner cartoons - Wow! Trippy stuff for my pre-teen brain!)<BR/><BR/>@matt - I agree with you, everything about this Watchman thing just screams GIMMICKY PROMOTION.Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-19792994394373003672008-07-24T12:17:00.000-04:002008-07-24T12:17:00.000-04:00Well one thing about those old cartoons is that it...Well one thing about those old cartoons is that it's Jack Kirby art. I think if the animated portions like Thor's arm hadn't been so horribly done and also if they were using more than the same 5 shots everytime it would have looked better. Combined of course with using stories from the actual issues it could have at least been an interesting visual experiment if not exactly animation. <BR/><BR/>I've never been that impressed by Watchmen and I can't imagine movement and voice-work making it any better. I think DC is just making a very cheap grab for some hits rather than bothering to really research the benefits of using the internet for comic publishing.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352969641094253335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-75419291283286915232008-07-24T00:32:00.000-04:002008-07-24T00:32:00.000-04:00That might be an insult to Grantray.

I don't doubt that some effort went into making the thing, but the creative choices along the way were poor to say the least. The end result is that the trailer makes Watchmen look cool and this makes the comic look goofy.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.com
