• New York Magazine published a list of the "Best Superhero Cartoons of All Time," which was met with widespread criticism and ridicule from readers. The list was perceived as poorly researched and lacking in understanding of the superhero cartoon genre, with many popular and acclaimed shows being omitted or ranked too low.
• The article highlights several glaring issues with the list, such as the exclusion of iconic series like "Batman: The Animated Series," "X-Men: The Animated Series," and "Spider-Man: The Animated Series," all of which are widely regarded as some of the greatest superhero cartoons ever made. The author argues that the list seems to be more focused on obscure or lesser-known titles rather than the truly influential and beloved superhero cartoon classics.
• The article also points out the questionable rankings of the shows that were included, with the list placing lesser-known and often criticized series like "The Venture Bros." and "The Tick" higher than widely acclaimed and influential shows. The author suggests that the list was likely compiled by someone with a limited understanding of the superhero cartoon genre, leading to a flawed and biased selection of titles.
