Super Friends (1973–1985)
7/10
Much better than the original series.
8 August 2017
This series was actually pretty good. I haven't seen all the old series yet, just the original, and this is much better than that one. The stories are much more entertaining and they actually have real villains. Sadly, they just use the same three over and over(Darkeseid, Lex Luthor and Mxyzptlk). While they seem to often repeat the theme of the Super Friends easily getting captured, it's never boring. I noticed that Darkseid sounded like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget and upon doing a little research, it turns out to be the same voice actor. Surprisingly, the same guy did the voice of Marvin in the original Super Friends series. This time the episodes are only a half hour and that helps a lot. They have proved(n) they can't write a good hour long Super Friends many times. One disappointment is that they couldn't make Firestorm's hair look like fire. It just looks like a stupid hat. This series is definitely worth watching.
