YES. The Phantom had pacing issues, but it was a decent tribute to its source material and was watchable.

I watched it on Hulu a few years ago, fortunately before upgrading to a commercial-free version. I'm honestly not sure I could have survived it without those blissful breaks of capitalistic nonsense. I have little doubt this would be my pick, had I actually sat through it on the big screen.
If so, it was a misdirect (and a pretty major one). We see Arthur develop a tic through his interaction with the Terror. We know that Arthur has reason to doubt The Tick isn't a hallucination (i.e.: he's seen and heard things like him before). It really seems like the implication is that they're the same tic/Tick.
It doesn't quite work for The Tick to be exist solely in Arthur's mind - on top of the devastation, the goons described The Tick accurately when reporting to Ms. Lint. However, the flashback with the blue nightlight implies The Tick might be a physical manifestation of Arthur's trauma. He's Arthur's tic come to life,…
I don't know. I think a case could be made that choosing Beavis and Butthead over the single most influential animated action series of the past 25 years was objectively wrong.
I understand that the format was constraining, but you ended up with a list of the top 26 animated series which only included one from the incredibly influential DC Animated Universe… and the one that made the cut was somehow The Zeta Project?!!!
