My Adventures With Superman Season One Spoiler-Filled Review [Part 2]

Continued from part 1

The voice cast is talented. Jack Quaid lent his voice to Peter Parker / Lizard in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and more prominently as Ensign Bradward "Brad" Boimler in Star Trek: Lower Decks. This series marks one of Alice Lee's first voice roles, apart from voicing a character in Mickey Mouse Funhouse. She has played characters in TV series since 2009. Ishmel Sahid has been working on similar series since around the same time. In an exclusive interview with Lee and Sahid, both said they were excited to see fanart, but also said it was challenging to maintain the high energy of Lois and Jimmy. Both noted the writers and producers helped them. They described how they had to adjust their speaking voices to the characters and explained the flair they gave each character through the voices.

One member of the voice cast, Kari Wahlgren, is well-known. She voiced Martha Kent, and young Clark Kent, in this series. She has done dubbing of anime characters since 2002, and has voiced iconic characters in Western animation. This includes Electronique in Kim Possible, Suzy Johnson in Phineas and Ferb, Tigress/Sheena in Carmen Sandiego, Callie in the somewhat underrated Cleopatra in Space, and Zatanna in DC Super Hero Girls. She also lent her voice to characters in Sym-Bionic Titan, Young Justice, Infinity Train, Dota: Dragon's Blood, The Ghost and Molly McGee, The Owl House, Velma, and OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes.

Wahlgren is voice actor powerhouse in her own right. There are few voice actors, in the cast, who have voiced as many characters as Wahlgren. One exception is Zehra Fazal. She is recognized for voicing Nadia Rizavi in Voltron: Legendary Defender and Halo/Violet in Young Justice. She also voiced Faraday and Shannon in Craig of the Creek, Mara in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Zahra and Sabrina in Glitch Techs, General Yunan in Amphibia, and Tassia in Dragon Age: Absolution.

Reprinted from Pop Culture Maniacs and Wayback Machine. This was the forty-ninth article I wrote for Pop Culture Maniacs. This post was originally published on September 21, 2023.

Others have voiced just as many characters. Chris Parnell voiced characters in Gravity Falls, BoJack Horseman, Elena of Avalor (Migs), Samurai Jack, and Dogs in Space (Ed). Debra Wilson previously voiced characters in Cannon Busters (Lady Day), Final Space (Quinn's mother), The Casagrandes, The Owl House, Star Trek: Prodigy, Black Dynamite, and The Proud Family. Catherine Taber voiced her share of animated characters including Padmé Amidala in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Lori Loud in The Loud House. Lucas Grabeel voiced characters such as Jiku in Elena of Avalor and the haughty scammer Julian in Spirit Riding Free.

The voice cast includes other prominent voice actors. Vincent Tong voiced characters in 16 Hudson, Ninjago, LoliRock (Mephisto), My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Polly Pocket, and The Dragon Prince (Prince Kasef). André Sogliuzzo voiced King Bumi in Avatar: The Last Airbender and King Verago in Elena of Avalor. He also voiced characters in Samurai Jack, Star Wars Rebels, and The Owl House. Darrell Brown previously lent his voice to characters in Gabby's Dollhouse and Madagascar: A Little Wild. Azuri Hardy-Jones voiced Jade in Deer Squad. Kenna Ramsey voiced various characters in video games.

Apt viewers may recognize Jake Green, Laila Berzins, Jesse Inocalla, David Errigo Jr., Max Mittleman, and Andromeda Dunker. Errigo Jr. is known for voicing Ferb in the 2020 film, Candace Against the Universe. The film is the most recent iteration of the Phineas and Ferb franchise. Inocalla voiced Soren in The Dragon Prince. Berzins voiced characters in indie animations such as Satina, Wild Card: Shuffled, and Monkey Wrench.

Other well-known individuals voice bit characters in the seventh episode: Kimberly Brooks as Jalana Olsen, Osric Chau as Lewis Lane, and Lauren Tom as Leader Lois. Brooks is best-known as Princess Allura in Voltron: Legendary Defender and the rough-and-tough Jasper in Steven Universe. Some may remember Chau as the one who voiced the villainous computer hacker known as The Troll in Carmen Sandiego. Tom voiced Mop Girl in recently ended a mature animation, Disenchantment, and Amy Wong in currently airing Futurama, another mature animation. This differs with actors such as Reid Scott, Joel De La Fuente, Melanie Minichino, and Michael Emerson (as Brainac). All four do wonderful voice work on this show, but have almost exclusively, or exclusively, previously done live-action TV series.

Warner Bros. Animation is a subsidiary of the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate. This subsidiary produced Velma, Harley Quinn, DC Super Hero Girls, Young Justice, Justice League Unlimited, Teen Titans, Justice League, Static Shock, Superman: The Animated Series, and Batman: The Animated Series. Rooster Teeth, another subsidiary, is recognized for RWBY, its flagship series. The CRWBY is doing all they can to ensure RWBY gets a tenth season. The RWBY superhero crossover film (part 2) is coming out this fall. It may include a version of Superman, like part one.

A largely-circulated spreadsheet in which people anonymously described their conditions in animation studios mentions Warner Bros. Animation. In one entry, Warner Bros. Animation is said to have too much work and treat workers badly. However, it acknowledges that each production is different. People on Glassdoor praised Studio Mir for high-quality projects and talented colleagues. Others were more critical.

Whatever the second season of My Adventures with Superman brings, the number of fans will continue to grow (including the 10,000+ fans across two subreddits), regardless of the corporate decision to air it on Adult Swim rather than Cartoon Network, possibly because of "dark moments" in the series. Hopefully the next season goes above and beyond what the first season delivered. Even so, I can't rate this series high enough, as it is just as strong as Harley Quinn and superior in many ways to the sometimes-convoluted Young Justice and mediocre Velma.

My Adventures with Superman can be streamed on Max or Spectrum. It can also be purchased on Prime Video, either as an entire season or individual episodes, iTunes, Vudu, Google Play, or Microsoft Store.

#TRUMP JR TWITTER TV#

As innumerable Twitter bios trumpet, "retweets do not equal endorsements."īut by engaging with the troll accounts, these public figures unwittingly amplified the magnitude, velocity and reach of this Kremlin-linked propaganda. These bold-faced names, along with lesser known but influential Twitter accounts, didn't necessarily make the content go viral - and we can only guess as to why a certain person retweeted or engaged with a post: perhaps to support or criticize a message, or just as part of what they thought was regular Twitter conversation. 30, 2017, according to social media analysis by Meltwater, a San Francisco-based media intelligence company, which shared its findings with NBC News. Reporters and editors for global news outlets also embedded the Russian propaganda tweets from Jan. Clair, Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs journalist Micah Lee upstart online radio host of YourVoice America Bill Mitchell popular right wing video blogger Paul Ramsey conspiracy theorist and InfoWars host Alex Jones popular "alt-right" video blogger Stefan Molyneux and whose Twitter bio says, "Daily adventures with the White House Press Corps in their own words".Īnd pop culture icons singer Nicki Minaj comedian Sarah Silverman Daily Show host Trevor Noah James Woods and even the CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey have also been flagged.

The Hero We Didn't Know We Needed

By Kenshiro

Tonight we said goodbye to Oliver Queen. Technically, we’ve done that already in Crisis on Inifite Earths but it’s for real this time. Oliver’s tale has finally come to an end with the final episode of Arrow that aired on the CW. For 8 years we’ve seen the growth of a character from D-list hero in the DC Universe pantheon, to a character that came to be the central figure in the greatest superhero tv universe created.

Were it not for Stephen Amell, it would never have happened.

From Jouneyman to Icon

Amell was a journeyman actor, who had yet to last anywhere outside of some guest appearances. He appeared on hit shows like Hung on HBO and Fox’s New Girl; had recurring roles on The Vampire Diaries and Private Practice. Amell also won a Gemini Award, Canada’s equivalent of an Emmy. His career turning point was being cast as Oliver Queen, and he killed it. Its now near impossible to think of anyone else playing him.

Amell on the salmon ladder was a staple throughout early seasons of Arrow

Amell was effective because he embraced the role so much. His social media account posted videos of him doing the legendary salmon ladder. It sold fans on his dedication to the role, showcasing his physicality. The guy was legit! Up till 2012, the though of playing a superhero on TV was viewed as a novelty or a joke. Amell changed all of that through his earnest portrayal of the vengeful Oliver Queen in Season one.

Growing a Universe and connecting with fans

A lot of credit goes to Marc Guggenheim, Beth Schwartz and Greg Berlanti. They cast Amell as Oliver and then surrounded him with a cast of unknowns who became gems in the eyes of legions of fans. David Ramsey (Diggle), Katie Cassidy (Laurel), Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity) coalesced around Amell and sparked the birth of the Arrowverse. Something that had never been done on TV before, a fully realized superhero universe rivaled only by it’s Marvel cinematic counterpart.

Stephen endeared himself to the fans at Comic-cons across the nation. He even parlayed his badass role as a arrow-slinging vigilante into a couple appearances on Monday Night Raw. It was this type of whole-hearted acceptance of geek culture that fueled the Arrowverse. His fellow Arrowverse co-stars never followed suit to the same degree, and that only helped set Amell apart.

The original team that started it all.

He turned himself into the champion of superhero TV shows, even when Marvel started to try and compete. It was Amell’s early performances that kept the Arrowverse going strong. The chemistry he shared with everyone made things flow easy. It continued when The Flash showed up in Season two and Oliver morphed into the go-to guy for everything despite not having powers.

Sure, it stinks that Arrow was essentially a Batman allegory, given WB’s silly policies concerning their heroes. Yet were it not for Stephen Amell, the Arrowverse never works.

He was truly, the hero we didn’t know we needed. We were lucky to have had him. Thank you so much Stephen Amell.

You NEVER failed your fans. Salute.
