Yeah, of Thanos, I think they were all awkward wide shots where he's framed against a celestial backdrop. I thought the lighting choice was weird. Like he was too well lit for what felt more like a work in progress design. If I had been them, I would've gone with a lot of darkened shots and "Doctor Claw" style tight…

Psych - Such a delightful, cheesy, fluffy bit of fun with a touch of wit and heart.

The Justice League / Justice League Unlimited...basically all of the Bruce Timm DC cartoons.

Justice League Animated Series

Cardcaptor Sakura. If there is anything that is the complete opposite of grimdark, CCS would be it.

Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Pushing Daisies

Great article!
