There was also that Fantastic Four cartoon, the Justice League cartoon and the new Batman cartoons. Though I think its unfair to compare anime and american cartoons, as anime is targeted at all ages, mostly older, whereas cartoons are mostly for kids, so they'll be dumbed down.
Also, Ms Marvel gets a big Thumbs-up. 👆
Maybe I shouldn't make broad exclamations before thinking. Oh well...lesson learned. But you have to admit, some of these new comic based cartoons kind of suck. The animation in the fantasitc four is great but it's still pretty lame. 90's cartoons in general were classic so I wasn't really trying to include them. But what's done is done I guess.

only one to my knowledge that was dumbed down was the Spider-Man 90's they did'nt want no violence at all.
You mean it DIDN'T want violence, right?
And, that spiderman did have violence. Spiderman got the crap beat out of him, several times. Same with other characters. It got pretty dark when the symbiote took over. Spiderman was about to smash Rhino into a pile of mush with a huge metal slab (door) and Rhino was genuinely frightened for his life. That's pushing it for a kids cartoon, IMO.

Correct. They were in highschool, and for some retarded reason, Wolverine was like a leader figure for the others.
They basically took the names, SLIGHT appearance, and abilities...and wrote things however they wanted to.
I couldn't get into the show. It was too shallow and stupid.
Cuz Japanese movies suck, they dive mostly into animation which is why it so much better than American action cartoon. American cartoon are mostly for kids or comedy so I don't think it's right to compare. I mean, when Americans do make serious action cartoons they either model it after anime or or simply get anime studios do it for them. Now if we are gonna compare American comedy to Japanese, I'm sure we all can agree that American comedy is funnier.

That seems to be as of recent not in the past.

I should feel real bad seeing as how Batman TAS used to be my favorite back in the day and still is.
How so?
That Batman series was more for adults.
