Not sure I like that Red Tornado design, but it might just be because he's running and not, ya know, flying, hip-deep in a red gust of wind.

[dcauyojimbo]

I hear ya, when I picture Red Tornado, he's sort of got the red tornado from the waist down flying towards you.

[90scartoonman]

That's one of the only two problems I had with the last shot of JLU, they had Reddy flying but without the tornado.

[dcauyojimbo]

Good catch. What was the other problem you had with the last shot?

[90scartoonman]

That being Aquaman's exclusion thanks to the Aqua Embargo. I know I keep complaining about it, but Aquaman's been in more incarnations of the League than anyone except J'onn, and he's become pretty iconic thanks to Super Friends. I can deal with no Blue Beetle or Firestorm since they weren't in the DCAU at all, but leaving Aquaman out of the coolest animated shots of the Justice Leauge ever? That sucks.

I put that Embargo out of my head, it led to some many travesties in the last season besides excluding Aquaman to a mere line of dialogue: had to change Black Manta's name, no Aquaman-Black Manta smack down and Black Manta became Wonder Woman's villain!

[90scartoonman]

::sigh:: Yeah, that's pretty messed up. Although I think Black Manta being a Wonder Woman villain isn't nearly as bad as Weather Wizard being a Superman villain.

Good point. I was ok with Weather Wizard on STAS since it was a Flash team up episode but when he joined the 'revenge squad' on "Hereafter," I thought it was a little lame. Where was Parasite, too busy watching cable tv? Idk, I just loved Devil Ray, in any case, he was a total badass.
