Worst cartoon ever

I have always been a big comic book fan, obviously.

As a child I had all the toys and watched all the cartoons. Recently the "Super Friends: The Lost Episodes" was released on DVD. Meaning episodes that never aired on television.

I rented it through Netflix and was eager to watch it. I actually ripped open the envelope as quickly as possible.

The first episode I saw "The Rollercoaster" I clicked on to watch.

And boy, did my soul die a little.

The plot involves two not-so-tough looking gang members (they look like a nerdy Fonzie) bringing a very nerdy, overweight guy with glasses to an shut down amusement park as part of a gang initiation. First problem, a guy like that would never be accepted by any gang. Sorry.

So they sneak onto the rollercoaster and open the electrical box to start the ride. The key for the box falls out (remember that.) They get on the ride and of course it goes out of control and the coaster starts to fall apart.

Luckily, the Wonder Twins and their monkey Gleek are coming out of a movie RIGHT across the street. They run over there to help.

Jayna turns into a giant eagle. And before Zan can transform I guess "Bucket of water?" And he then turns into a bucket of water.

They fly up and try to save the gang members, but can't. They go down to try to shut the ride down, but the electrical box is locked! Even though the key just fell out five minutes earlier. If she just looked down...

So they send Gleek to get The Atom at the Justice League HQ.

In the meantime Jayna turns into a walrus and Zan into an ice car. Yes, an ice car. They save two of the gang bangers, but can't save the nerdy one.

At Justice League HQ Gleek is screaming at the Atom in monkey talk. Now a little background, Ray Palmer who is the Atom is supposed to be one of the smartest men alive in the DC Universe. But, in the cartoon? Not so much. Here is his response to Gleek.

"What's wrong Gleek? I can't understand you?"

Maybe because he's a freaking monkey!!!

So Atom follows Gleek back and shrinks down to fit through the keyhole and saves the day.

The gang members get a lecture on true friendship and whatever.

I promptly put the DVD back in the envelope and sent it back.
