The early 80s version can’t be beat.

The title of the video gave away the game. Otherwise, perfection!

Not loving the quality/look of the CG animation. Doubt I’ll bother with this

The same paragraph 3 times in row? Was this written by a hallucinating A.I.?

Points for retaining the color choices pretty directly, I guess. Most of these shots look like they just cut up a copy of the comic and used it as the storyboards.

No points for letting Blender or Maya or whatever do a 60fps rendering of every frame of these 3d models with some lines painted on them though. Timing is part of animation too.

Twice. Once framed as good news (for the book), once framed as bad news (for the creators).

Reading comprehension skills are your friend!
