So apologies in advance if this has been asked already.

With Young Justice not being renewed in the last four years, how come Greg Weisman hasn't pitched the continuation in the form of a comic to DC? I know it's not exactly best solution to continue the story, but it's a solution nontheless. Batman: TAS got a comic continuation and Young Justice was one of DC's best and most popular shows. It just makes sense.

Is there anything preventing him from doing that? Genuine question, because I have no idea how these things work. I'd appreciate an explanation.

So this is definitely a hot take, and I know that there's gonna be a lot of people that disagree with me. But I still stand by it. I much prefer when DC and Marvel movies, TV shows and games make their adaptations different rather than copying the comic beat for beat.

Now that doesn't mean that I think faithful adaptations are bad at all. Not even close to that. But the appeal of Marvel and DC, for me at least, is how ingrained the Multiverse is within their respective lores and it offers amazing twists and alternate takes on the characters and their mythos.

Not only that, but if you have multiple adaptations of the same characters then it does a good job of keeping each universe distinct from one another. Using Batman as an example, you can have the dark noir style of the DCAU, the gritty realistic trilogy of Christtopher Nolan or the silly, campy and quirky Adam West show.

I do understand why other fans do prefer it if adaptations were more in line with the comics, I totally get it. But I'm more open and even encourage experimentation of the source material, though not every change is going to please everyone. There are some adaptations, even great ones, that made changes from the source material that I didn't like (The Hand from Daredevil season 2, for example.) But I'd rather each adaptation be a unique take rather than just copying the comics outright. I think it's more fun.

Aside from My Hero Academia, have there been any anime that owe their influence to Marvel Comics? I do know about actual Marvel Anime like Disk Wars, Future Avengers, Punisher and Black Widow, etc, but what about any others?

And does that extend to non-superhero anime too?

Socially awkward teens in secondary school isn't exactly a unique concept here and I can see it working in any kind of sitcom in any kind of setting; India, Japan, France, Spain, Australia, etc. Yet American Inbetweeners just fell flat. How come?

When you look at other remakes, like US Shameless and US Office, they did very well. Regardless of whether you like them compared to the original, you can't deny that they weren't successful.

So what went wrong? And how could an American Inbetweeners have worked?
