Thoughts: Green Lantern and Young Justice series Finales

By -
In a move that once again caused a good series to be cut short, Cartoon Network has failed to renew both Green Lantern The Animated Series and Young Justice. The move repeats what happened to both Justice League Unlimited and the Thundercats reboot. Unlike Thundercats, both series were able to complete their current story arcs.

In a move that many series rarely ever get, fans won't be left wondering if Hal Jordan, Kilowog, and Razer managed to prevent Aya from destroying all life or if The Reach were really just going leave Earth quietly. And before you ask or wonder, I will not spoil them here.

This brings me to my point....Yes, I am an adult that enjoys watching cartoons. I also enjoy shows that require some some thought. With the massive amount of shows that require zero thought on Cartoon Network it was always airing, a handful of shows have managed to get me to comeback. I'm sorry, but shows like Adventure Time, Total Drama anything, Annoying Orange, the ENTIRE live action lineup, and most of Adult Swim drive me insane.

Over the past 2 decades I have seen Cartoon Network go from something great to something that no longer grabs my interest. I understand the network is primarily aimed at children, but at the same time there is also a large adult fan base. With that fan base, Adult Swim just doesn't cut it.

With that said, what is one to do? must I just bite the bullet and go with online streaming services? That would help get my Anime fix, but what of US based animated series?

What do you think?

Greeting Geeks, In case you haven't checked it out yet, Nickelodeon has released their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. As a general disclaimer: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL BAY'S TURTLES PROJECT . To put it simply, it's Teen Titans meets Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). To put it more complexly...well...you'll have to hit the jump for that.

Updated: Question: Should A Cosplayer Be Kicked Out Of PAX East For Doing Her Job?

By -

Day 1 Left, Day 2 Right Just to be clear, Jessica Nigri was asked to leave and change, she was allowed back in... But on day 1 of PAX east, she went dressed as Lollipop Chainsaw's star, Juliet Starling, without issue. Day 2 she went dressed as the same character in one of the multiple alt costumes and asked to leave to change. She returned in the cheerleader uniform from day 1 she was asked to change again, cover up, or leave entirely! Did I mention she was at the WB Games booth and is the official character model for the game? So what's the point of this post? Most of the Grotto staff come from a place in the US where people can go grocery shopping wearing A LOT less than what Nigri had on! Now if she were dressed in one of the alternate costumes from Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball, then I can understand the issue. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+ and after the break, see Nigri's Day 3 costume! Updated 4/9/2012: Added
