I miss the 90's thread

[crows]

You're lucky. I wanted to be Godzilla and I got a costume similar to this but it was a generic dinosaur one.

did you get the full body costume?

maybe the one you got is the one I wanted LOL hahaha

It was made out of that same vinyl material with a picture of a dinosaur on the front and had a mask that went with it with a string on the back. I remember the dinosaur mask had some bloody craters on the face. I would have liked to have been a true Godzilla.

Anyone else remember this obscure-o show?

[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PMTqQQbR_k[/ame]

Had characters from Wizards and Warriors, Bigfoot, NARC, and some others. A poor man's Captain N.

Lots of video game-related shows back in that time period, like Arcade.

I remember the Tomato guy, but that's where my memory of it begins and ends.

I watched Nick Arcade a lot.

Good effort there.

Captain Planet was the worst show. I hated it then, and I hate it now. Don't give me messages when watching my cartoons.

How did you feel about GI JOE or He Man then? Didn't like them either?

My top five 90's tv shows I never missed, or tried not to anyway. The first two originated in the 80's, but bled over into the next decade.


Yes, I watched this well into the 90's and saw every episode multiple times, lol. Gonna have to view it through YouTube I'm afraid. Embedding is disabled and this is like the only American opening sequence I've been able to find.

This was one of the coolest shows of all time, when I was younger. It just barely makes it though, if at all, as technically speaking I believe the last original airing of the show may have landed sometime in late '89. However, reruns or not, the show aired well into the 90's.

[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2fKJe37jYg[/ame]


Again, one of the coolest shows I had ever seen. The Japanese opening is better though.

Thanks to this show, I discovered what "Anime" was, even though Ronin Warriors and Thundercats were of Japanese origin.

No explanation needed, lol. Green Ranger ftw!

Ghostbusters and X-men get honorable mentions, although GB also bled into the 90's like TMNT.

Captain Planet was the worst show. I hated it then, and I hate it now. Don't give me messages when watching my cartoons.

And it's a malicious, anti-human message to boot.

Nothing more noble than taking advantage of young, fragile minds.

 

[karamazov80]

Never liked Captain Planet. Just boring stories and bad animation. I don't mind a cartoon trying to sell kids some broad, unoffensive message like "don't pollute the planet," but if it isn't done well then the message is irrelevant.

Some more '90s crap I'm remembering, thinking back on it:

I know lots of boardies here are nostalgic about that X-Men cartoon. But frankly, it is bad, and I knew it was bad when I was 12 years old or whatever and couldn't stand it then even (was just glad Batman: the Animated Series existed around the same time, as that one was great and has stood the test of time and movement away from childhood). The animation sucks, the voice acting in general is TERRIBLE. Stories weren't too bad from what I could tell as loose interpretations of comic stories, but the show just felt cheap with that lame animation. This is how it should have been done from an animation POV:

Plus, no crappy Jim Lee designs!

 

[devilof76]

I think Jim Lee's Jean Grey is one of the worst designs for any superhero ever.

However, the 90's cartoon had a badass opening theme.

And it's a malicious, anti-human message to boot.

It was a pro environmental quality show, and since the quality of human life is directly determined by the quality of the environment, like the freshness of the air we all need to breathe, it wasn't anti human.

Unless of course you believe that human beings can live without air or clean water.
There are ways to make money without destroying the environment in the process. To Destroy the QUALITY of the environment only cuts your own throat.
To not think of ways to make money without reducing the quality of the environment indicates intellectual ineptitude on the part of those who would seek to make money without care for it's environmental impact. Protecting the environment is about protecting people, like in Erin Brockovich or A Civil Action.

I haven't tried to watch X-men since it was originally aired, but I remember it being a fun show. Not nearly as good as Batman: The Animated series. That show is in a league of it's own. But I remember it being at least as good as the Spider-man cartoon.

Why are you talking to me?

Just posting a perspective on a message board, discussing an issue that you chimed in on stated by someone else. It's just posting a view, nothing more. You seem to think it's personal, and take it personally when it isn't. It's just calmly discussing a topic, which is what I do. I don't take anything personally on an internet message board, and I don't see why anyone else should, either. I talk about a topic far more than I talk to a person. It is not my intention to establish a personal dialogue for the most part.

I am merely interested in discussing ideas in an objective and detached manner. I don't know if you have noticed that I don't address anyone personally or make personal statements of any kind for the most part. I don't make personal attacks. I do make statements on occasion directly aimed at people only when they are positive.
If I disagree with a point of view, I disagree with the view, not the person. I might attack the view, but not the person. Despite what you have believed in the past, I don't "follow" you or anyone else here. I merely like to post on topics that interest me on posts that interest me, period.

I think that's a good comparison, as those shows are pretty similar in lots of ways in my mind. Spidey's animation was a bit smoother, but the voice acting was also pretty bad oftentimes and the storylines were mostly loose interpretations of the comic. They had a Secret Wars storyline there that made me geek out a bit.

Was unusual to have such a massive crossover back then, with Spidey, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men all together.
