Toonzone's "Battle of the Brackets" Sweet Sixteen Voting Thread (Spidey conference)

[Anthonynotes]

I vote for Spider-Man:TAS... liked it more than 2003-TMNT.

 

[r0derix]

Loved Spider-Man: TAS as a kid, but outside of a few episodes I don't really enjoy it much any more. TMNT 2k3 is the definitive version of the turtles and a highly enjoyable show.

Who do you vote to win?!?

[Gold Guy]

Sym-Bionic Titan. Never saw Gargoyles.

 

[Darklordavaitor]

Sym-Boinic Titan was good, but it had nothing on Gargoyles. I have to go with Greg's first and best here.

 

[Neo Yi]

I feel Gargoyles will win in the end, but I'd still vote for Sym-Bionic Titan even if it weren't the case. I love that show so, so, soooo much. I really need to wrap up Gargoyles, but I don't want to sit through the Avalon Arc. I think it drags on and on and onnnnnnnnn.

It does end, and the show gets back to steak sauce all over again, I promise.

 

[M.O.D.O.K.]

Definitely going with Gargoyles here. One of the best of the 90's and overall.

 

[RoyalRubble]

I'll vote for Gargoyles, though I liked Sym-Bionic a lot as well - it was a fun show.

 

[James Harvey]

My votes goes to Gargoyles.

 

[Ed Liu]

Sym-Bionic Titan for me. As I've said earlier, I was never as taken by Gargoyles as others were, which might be because I didn't stick with it long enough but where it never lured me in hard enough to stick with it. Sym-Bionic Titan grabbed me from the get-go, like a lot of Genndy's stuff, and I was hooked pretty much from the first episodes.

 

[r0derix]

Voting for Gargoyles. Sym-Bionic Titan was a great show though.

 

[Light Lucario]

I'm definitely voting for Gargoyles. It was a great show. While I don't remember if the first episode I saw on Disney Channel was the beginning of the series, I do remember getting hooked on it pretty quickly. It has a cool premise, complex characters, especially with its villains, most of the main cast were fleshed out, the worldbuilding really helped to make it more engaging, the action was great and the storylines were pretty interesting for the most part.

Sym-Bionic Titan was good, but like I've said before, I find it a bit overrated. Outside of the animation and some of the fight scenes, I don't think that it had anything stronger than what Gargoyles had. The group chemistry between the three leads was pretty good and I still love the relationship between Otocus and Kimmy. If this series had gotten another season or two so that it could have a conclusion, this might have been a more difficult choice, but I think that I would have still voted for Gargoyles just because of its strengths.

 

[The Talon]

My vote is Sym-Bionic Titan this round. Loved Gargoyles though, Xanatos especially.

 

[GWOtaku]

Aaagghhghhhh. Hard. I don't like voting against anything Tartakovsky. Titan is very well made and decisively wins on action and animation, and I love it. But I also have a lot of respect for the cast of characters Gargoyles built up, & if I were to make a short list of the best cartoons based on story alone I think two TV series I would include without any debate are it and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Things were well thought out, and I'd argue that the "world tour" was cool. I can get not liking being away from Manhattan for so long, but I grok the reasons for the arc and I think they're quite valid. I personally like it for delving into all kinds of mythological lore, & also because I consider it important to character development for main character Goliath. I bet it wouldn't get as much flack if we'd had a full & complete 3rd season back in NYC afterward, but oh well. C'est la vie.

Agghh. If it were this vs Samurai Jack and its level of inventiveness and style, that might be one thing. But Titan isn't quite there. By the slimmest of margins, I think I have to hand it to Gargoyles.

 

[Aquadementia]

Sym-Bionic Titan

Jack may be his best character to work with. His Clone Wars was the best addition to the Star Wars universe since the original trilogy. But in some ways Genndy keeps getting better and better. It really shows in Sym-Bionic Titan.

 

[Dudley]

Sym-Bionic Titan was a great show. But I feel that there were some episodes that felt like needless filler that could've been used to help progress the storyline.
Then again, Gargoyles dragged on for what seems like forever in season two.
On the other hand, Sym-Bionic Titan had great art direction and some real nice characters that grew over time. If only it got that second season...(would be nice if they continued the story in comic form though!)
It's a tough choice, but I'm going to go with SBT.
