>>120944828What do you mean by back in the day? Gennady stuff is literally as good as it got. So that's what? Clone wars and samurai jack?
Most of the late 70s and 80s action stuff disnt actually have good battles. A lot of it is slight of hand. A little shooting then jumping to a reaction then someone does the one weird trick to end the battle. People think 80s stuff has good action because they remember transformers the movie or the ninja turtles movie and arcade games, while the shows had a lot more adventure and mystery solving than action.
Same for disney afternoon, most saturday morning cartoons, even into the 90s. Even something like btas. How many actual fights were there vs batman solving a mystery or tricking the badguy?
Go back and watch some of it. I think you'll be surprised how much of it is implied.
Another good example is people losing their shit over Vader at the end rogue one. It took 40 years to actually show Vader kicking ass. It had all mostly been implied before then.
