DC is going all in on animation with an Absolute Batman series, a Joker anime called Laugh Riot, a Krypto show from the SpongeBob team, and Tom King's Mister Miracle on the way. Supergirl works as a fun entry in the new DCU, but condensing Tom King's comic stripped out the character depth and swapped one of the best endings in modern comics for a simpler kill. Lobo is a blast on screen with real Beetlejuice energy, but he was not necessary to the plot and deserves his own standalone project, which Jason Momoa says he will only do rated R. Avatar Season 2 succeeds where Supergirl stumbles, condensing the story without cutting anything essential to the characters. Toph and Uncle Iroh stand out, and Ba Sing Se delivers. Final scores: Supergirl gets a 7 from Frank and a 10 from Jonathan, while Avatar Season 2 earns an 8 from Frank and a 9 from Jonathan. Quotes "If you find a way to watch movies, I think you're preserving history. You're not stealing." Frank "Animation is probably the truest form of adaptation nowadays." - Frank "You're not going to be the hero in every story." - Jonathan "Don't think that the loud voices are the voices, because they're not." - Jonathan "Toph feels like Toph now." - Frank Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?
