So I saw this show with a bit of a different title but completely the superfriends animation with cyborg and firestorm and im like what is this? Went on a bit of a rabbit hole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Friends but it seems like they were slowly inter speeding so many reruns and not putting in much new content when I was watching it and then it was gone for awhile but apparently it came back but they had relegated it to early sat timeslots. Kinda funny because I was getting into comics about then and I had never seen firestorm or cyborg at the time unitl I saw them in comics but apperently they were on some early time on saturdays.
The question is did the writing get any better to make good use of them? I was kinda into Firestorm as a kid. I guess I subconsciously wished I had a kind & knowledgeable mentor around to help me through life because my family split up, and suddenly those I looked to for guidance were gone.
no. the writing did not. I mean maybe. it had twists sorta.
Well, it was the early 80s still. Good to know, I may try to watch it at some point out of curiosity.
I thought I remembered this from my youth, but it turns out what I watched was the Spider-friends: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_and_His_Amazing_Friends
Spidey, Iceman, and Fire-Star (since the Human Torch wasn’t an option thanks to licensing.)
oh I never knew that. as much as I liked fire-star it would have been so iconic to have spiderman, iceman, and the torch working together. would be kind of neat to have cameos from ff4 and xmen. kinda wish they would redo that with some sorta plausible reason why they are friends and hang out.
