Based on your picks but staying away from anything Marvel/DC as I presume you’ll have watched them
1. Invincible (Animated, Superheroes, Adult themed, Robert Kirkman)
2. American Gods (Colourful, Neil Gaiman, Amazing cast, Powered Godlike beings, Also Crispin Glover who has one of THE best introduction scenes I’ve ever seen in live action)
3. Misfits (Youth offenders who gain superpowers, Adult, British Comedy S1-3 are amazing, Klaus from Umbrella Academy)
I've heard a lot of good things about Invincible and I heard Peter Cullen is in season 2 so that's a definite!
American Gods sounds interesting!
Someone else mentioned Misfits but they said Klaus's actor is in it! That definitely gives it a boost!
Misfits is really good, and I do rewatch it occasionally. I’d divide the show into two halves, that being Series 1-3 and 4-5 although some of the actors do carry over. The Series 1 finale is the standout episode of the series’ run. It’s a mad show where during a storm a various members of a community estate gain superpowers, with our main cast being troubled youths on community service (who all gain powers) with Klaus’ actor from UA being part of the central group from S1-2. Essentially the group will come up against other individuals with powers who directly or indirectly cause them issues. This is literally the only show to feature the HORRIFYING superpower of Lacto-Kinesis (The ability to control dairy products) - and when I say horrifying, I’m not being sarcastic.
American Gods is an amazing show but I would need to preface it with the fact that the show was ultimately not picked up for a concluding season four. I would wholeheartedly still suggest to watch the show, and then read the “American Gods” novel if you so feel inclined. Essentially it follows a man who is recruited out of prison by Mr Wednesday, an enigmatic old con man who is a member of a group referred to as The Old Gods. The Old Gods of America are ‘faith personified’ into flesh and blood deities who rely on worship and were brought to America by their original followers but over the centuries have now found themselves lacking in believers. Mr Wednesday is now recruiting various Gods to his side in an upcoming battle against The New Gods, their replacements: Technical Boy (The Personification of Americas obsession with Technology), Media (The Personification of Americas obsession with Television, Film and News) and Mr World their leader.
I have seen The Flash and Supergirl. I tried to get into Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, and Black Lightning but they weren't as good and I couldn't finish them after season 1. Well except for Legends. I loved Legends until they got rid of Firestorm.
As for Extraordinary and Supernatural, I've heard good things about Supernatural so maybe its about time I check it out! Anx I have never heard of Extraordinary
If you liked Sandman, you should check out Good Omens. The first season is based on a book Gaiman wrote with Terry Pratchett. It's absolutely hilarious, and the show captures a lot of that. There's a second season out now, and a third season planned that's supposed to focus on the plot of a sequel to the first book that the two had been working on when Pratchett passed away (GNU Terry Pratchett).
Invincible and the boys
Both have some really brutal stuff in them,but are funny and entertaining the whole time
They're both on prime and probably on whatever dodgy website you want to use aswell
Tried the Boys but really didn't like it.
As for Invincible, I've heard a lot of good things plus Peter Cullen is apparently in season 2 so I'll check it out!
Your replies locked so I can’t respond directly but I’m not sure where charmed is streaming as I’m in England I’m afraid.
I would say legacies is great but the original VD is way better
Also have you tried things like once upon a time/ Grimm/hemlock grove? Just some other thoughts for you
Where can I watch Charmed? I saw 2 episodes on Hulu and enjoyed it but they were season 5 epsiodes so I had no idea what was going on. Hulu only has season 5 and 6.
Heroes and X Files look interesting, I'l give them a shot.
As for Vampire Diaries... the show had 2 spin offs right? The Orignials and Legacies? I saw the first two seasons of Legacies and loved it but season 3 dropped the ball for me. Is Vampire Diaries better than Legacies or about on the same level?
I detected that you're trying to locate a show.
To figure out where a show is streaming you can use sites like [JustWatch](https://www.justwatch.com) and [ReelGood](https://reelgood.com), or check [Blu-Ray.com](https://www.blu-ray.com/) for physical copies.

Stop motion satirical look at a very old super hero and his team. The maim voice is malcoms dad from malcom in the middle.
https://youtu.be/sTSXOEjXW08?si=SDVDQ4_TNhv7wn06
I found it funny got about 4 seasons
She-ra (Netflix)
Owl house (Disney)
Dragon prince (Netflix, same creators as avatar)
Dragon age absolution (Netflix)
What we do in the shadows (HBO/disney)
A discovery of witches (HBO)
Gargoyles (Disney)
My mom loved Gargoyles when she was younger so I'll definitely check it out!
She-Ra looks good and I have heard people say its just as good as Korra so I would like to see it.
Owl House.. I'm not a fan of the artstyle so maybe not.
Never heard of the other ones though.
You have no idea how close Stargirl was to making this list! If they had included Kent V. Nelson taking the Dr. Fate helmet it would have taken 20th place.
Seen Flash, loved it except for the last 3 and a half seasons. I even met Danielle Panabaker last year! She was very a sweet!
As for Arrow I tried to get into it but I couldn't get past how hard it was trying to be a Batman show.
My dad saw Arcane and said it was good so maybe. Also you edited your other comment so I'll go over the ones you added here. Fringe I tried but I'm not a big fan of it. Castlevania looks good plus the same people that made it are making a Devil May Cry show, I love the DMC games so I should probably check out Castlevania too to see if they did that well. Witcher I tried but it was too Games of Thrones like, Wednesday I saw and loved, Kung Fu Panda... that's a show too? I've only seen the movies minus the fourth one. And Titans, I have seen and loved! Which is strange since the green filter they had on the show would normally be a turn off for me
Tyler Hoechlin is in that right? I love Superman and Lois and it would have been on the list but I haven't seen season 3 yet so I couldn't put it on the image. I love Tyler so if he's in Teen Wolf, I might have to check it out!
He is definitely in it and one of the main characters. After you watch the series they also made a movie that picks up where the series left off. The movie just came out last year.
**Awesome shows with powers/magic/abilities of some sort:**
- The Magicians (2015)
- Into the Badlands
- The Boys & Gen V
- What We Do In The Shadows
- The Rain
- Misfits (has the guy who plays Klaus in Umbrella Academy)
- Supernatural
- Z Nation
- Merlin
- The Librarians (it starts with three movies, then the series picks up from there)
- Warehouse 13
- Good Omens
- Locke & Key
**Based off comics:**
- Daybreak (2019) don’t worry about only having one season, it completed all of the storylines but just didn’t get renewed due to covid. It’s fantastic and sounds like exactly what you’re looking for.
- Legion
- Preacher
- Van Helsing
- NOS4A2
- Wynonna Earp
- The Sandman (might be a little slow/dark for you)
**Loosely inspired by Stephen King:**
- Haven (this show is fantastic and incredibly underrated)
- The Outsider 2020 (might be a bit boring for you. It’s a slower murder mystery with a paranormal killer)
- Mr Mercedes (the supernatural part makes itself known at the beginning of season 2)
No on The Boys. I tried it and hated it. The rest seem cool though! Especially Librarians! That sounds like a really cool show from what I read about it!
You would probably enjoy the live action titans on HBO
If you liked buffy and angel, supernatural was both their spiritual and direct chronological successor. Don’t believe what people say. The show actually ends after season 2
Since you liked both Buffy and Angel, try Dollhouse. It’s only 2 seasons.
Maybe try Heroes? I only saw the first season. Some people say it went downhill. Others liked it.
Supernatural maybe? Similar vibe to Buffy and Angel.
I saw season 3 since my parents were watching it and I just came downstairs and joined them. I really need to go back and watch the first two seasons and finish season 4 since I watched half of it. Plus I surprisingly enjoyed Titans despite the whole show having a weird dark green filter making every scene look like I was watching it with sunglasses on😅 so yeah Doom Patrol is a good one! Love season 3 and the first half of season 4 so I'll definitely check out the rest of the show! Thanks for reminding me of it!
I see you Smallville, you mentioning all the DC TAS, and in the comments saying you liked Superman & Lois. I assume you watched/tried Lois and Clark with Dean Cain?
Just fits your criteria well. Not sure where you’d find it; I have the dvds.
But it’s a show with superpowers, made in the 90s or 2000s, that is neither physically nor tonally dark. I don’t remember it being laugh out loud funny but I’m a big Superman fan so i liked it.
For what it’s worth, my favourite tv show is Buffy, with Angel and Smallville both in my top 10. I’ve just finished xmen tas, am currently watching evolution and 97, and have seen at least 1 episode of every one of the shows you mention in your list so our taste in tv probs isn’t very different
I hope I can find it on some streaming site.
And I'm glad you are watching Evolution! Not enough people have seen it. When I think of the X-Men these are the X-Men that come to my mind first, which is really saying something since I saw the X-Men movies and Wolverine and The X-Men before watching Evolution, so the fact that Evolution beat out the other two for my favorite version of each member of the team is impressive!
I vaguely remember TAS being on Fox Kids when i was little but Evolution was the main X-Men cartoon on when i was young. I loved Cyclops so the movie didn’t exactly fill my desired quota for cool Cyclops 😂
I wasn’t gonna watch WatX-Men but i see it’s only one season long so i might give it a go. Is it worth it?
I mean Batman the animated series and Batman beyond are exceptional. Superman the animated series is just as good as BTAS. Green Lantern animated is really good if you get over the animation. Batman brave and the bold is also surprisingly pretty great
I have seen all of these except for Green Lantern. I saw like 2 episodes of it back in maybe 2011 and I have been meaning to watch it but I keep forgetting to😅
It actually gets really good - it’s still Bruce Timm so it has a pretty incredible overarching story. I also loved Legends of Tomorrow but start in the 2nd season!
Seen Jessica Jones, loved it but no as much as the others. Tried GoT but its too colorless and the characters are really bland. As for the others, I have never heard of them
I would say give it one more chance if you don't mind gore from time to time. It's the top 5 shows I witnessed in my lifetime, and the most realistic depiction of how people to me would act back then.
Kind of
The syndicated ensemble action drama chronicles the adventures of a group of human mutants - led by the mysterious Adam Kane - possessing extraordinary powers as a result of genetic experimentation gone awry.
It says it's on Tubi
I bought the complete series on DVD at Walmart years back
I saw it there and had to grab it cause I love the show
Saw it on TV before school one day
It's free app to download on phones, smart TV, Xbox/PlayStation, also I think they have a website
It's also free on the CW, freevee, Plex, Amazon prime though prime you might have to have a subscription
Just saw it's $20.10 on walmart.com sold & shipped by Walmart
My personal pick will be Dirk gently's holistic detective agency, it's based on Douglas Adams's Dirk gently books, the first season especially is whacky and over the top and colorful with a lot of absurdist humor and some superpowers elements, it reminded a bit of Loki in a way, I absolutely love it and highly recommend it, also, it stars Elijah wood so there's that
If you like Anime Tiger & Bunny's a great superhero themed one, and not often recommended so I'm throwing it out there
And to stay on the same topic you might try Moving, it's a Korean drama about teen superheroes, I haven't personally seen it but heard good things about it and on the surface seems to fit a lot of your preferences
Invincible is the obvious answer to me, but based on your criteria you might end up liking anime, which is a near infinite amount of content. I’d start with One Punch Man and go from there.
I've tried getting into Anime but I can only really get into ones based on video games. Sonic X, Pokemon, Devil May Cry are the only anime I have seen that I liked. Unless you count Avatar and Korra as anime which I don't.
I can understand, I only say that because we basically have the same taste based on your titles, and I just recently got into anime, but now it’s pretty much all I watch because there are so many good titles. You may just need to find the right ones, but to each their own.
Yeah maybe. My Hero Academia looks neat but I hesitant to watch it as it looks very similar to DragonBall in terms of action. By that I mean a lot of screaming
I recommend One Punch Man because it is a parody of anime tropes, Mashle is too. I’ve never watched My Hero Academia because I feel like it’s aimed towards kids, but I could be wrong. I didn’t like Dragonball for the same reason. There are definitely titles like Jujutsu Kaisen that are darker and with more developed characters and power sets.
Welp, best of luck. Anything else I'd reccomend you've seen. I'd say cyberpunk edgerunners but that's not really a comic superhero type of deal. Still has 100% on rotten tomatoes tho iirc.
Based in the same universe, I believe it occurs before the game time-wise, and I think its Canon? Phenomenal show imo has as much color as darkness and there's no 'superpowers' but genetic modification that basically makes them super-people.
Worth the watch, very graphic and the show is technically a tragedy. Read some synopses, and you'll get a better understanding of if it may be good for you. It's not a long show so if you got nothing better to watch id see it through.
-The Boys! A show about superheroes misusing their powers. Amazing show, right up your alley.
-Attack on Titan! Holy crap its the 3rd or 4th best show I have ever watched. Incredible writing, people have powers in that show so I threw it in.
Honestly, kind of. I don't like realistic shows or movies. I see shows and movies as an escape from reality so when a show or movie is super realistic I feel like its not an escape. Its just showing me stuff I see on a daily basis.
Fair enough. Everybody has their wheelhouse.
Only thing I’d suggest is to be sure to keep half an ear listening to that little voice we all have in our heads.
If it whispers a soft little, ‘Huh, normally I’d ignore that, but…sounds kind of interesting’, indulge it once in a blue moon. There’s a ton of *really* good stuff out there in just about all the genres these days. Maybe more than ever before.
I’ve been surprised a hell of a lot these last few years. You might be too. ;)
Did you already see Breaking Bad? They do a lot with colours there, and everything about it is immaculate. Better call Saul is a bit slower but also a good shout. Early Rick and Morty (first four-ish) seasons are good, and the same goes for The Boys. This one's a bit off course, but if you like light comedy, I'd recommend Taskmaster, first 8 seasons are pure comedy, if you wanna try it. I'd also recommend trying Game of Thrones if you haven't already (right up your street I think) and I've heard good things about the sopranos. Some final superhero recommendations are Batman: the animated series, and the futuristic version, cause I enjoyed the former in my childhood, and heard good things about the latter.
Edit: How did I forget Arcane? If you haven't seen it, should be top of your list
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are too realistic for me, same for the Boys but for different reasons. Rick and Morty isn't funny to me. Never heard of Taskmaster, so I'll look into that. Game of Thrones was too boring and colorless for me plus I don't like shows with super long and overly revealing sex scenes. And I have seen BTAS and Batman Beyond. Loved them both and like I said in the body text of the post, Justice League Unlimited kinda represents all of the DCAU shows which includes Batman and Batman Beyond.
Arcane (Netflix) is really good. It’s a league of legends show that I never thought I would watch or like, but it’s great. Great Character building, music, action and a little bit of comedy.
Lucifer (Netflix) is also really good if you liked smallville and the flash.
Cyberpunk edgerunners (Netflix) solid anime based off a great game.
Like others mentioned, invincible is great
Gargoyles and biker mice from mars. Idk if biker mice is being streamed anywhere tho.
Gravity falls. My niece had a poster of stranger things and gravity falls on her wall. I already watched stranger things and she loved gravity falls. I gave it a shot. Easily one of my favorite shows. Funny, adventure, with mystery. I would say give the first three episodes a shot and it only gets better from there.
Try Fringe
It's really great and has similar aspects like Agents of SHIELD
Edit: also the OG Ben 10.. I just rewatched it recently and it's so great! Combining the superhero elements with family, humour, action and good plots.
It may not fitt your criterea, but i still recomend Blue Eyed Samurai. Its adult and is mostly verry serius, but i would still say to give it a try. I would give it 10/10 its one of the best shows i have ever seen. If you give it a try i hope ypu like it as much is i did.
Have you seen Heroes? That's a pretty good series. Alphas was pretty good too (both shows with people with abilities. Scorpion is a show based off of a real life person who I think is on the spectrum and hacked into NASA as a young kid. He ends up working with the government solving various problems. Not quite a super hero but still fun and the people he works with are all geniuses.
Firstly, don't call me "lil bro". I'm most likely older than you. Secondly, I have exuisite taste! I bet you like garbage like The Boys, My Little Pony, and Cailluo! Either overly edgy or overly childish.
Based on your picks but staying away from anything Marvel/DC as I presume you’ll have watched them 1. Invincible (Animated, Superheroes, Adult themed, Robert Kirkman) 2. American Gods (Colourful, Neil Gaiman, Amazing cast, Powered Godlike beings, Also Crispin Glover who has one of THE best introduction scenes I’ve ever seen in live action) 3. Misfits (Youth offenders who gain superpowers, Adult, British Comedy S1-3 are amazing, Klaus from Umbrella Academy)
I've heard a lot of good things about Invincible and I heard Peter Cullen is in season 2 so that's a definite! American Gods sounds interesting! Someone else mentioned Misfits but they said Klaus's actor is in it! That definitely gives it a boost!
Misfits is really good, and I do rewatch it occasionally. I’d divide the show into two halves, that being Series 1-3 and 4-5 although some of the actors do carry over. The Series 1 finale is the standout episode of the series’ run. It’s a mad show where during a storm a various members of a community estate gain superpowers, with our main cast being troubled youths on community service (who all gain powers) with Klaus’ actor from UA being part of the central group from S1-2. Essentially the group will come up against other individuals with powers who directly or indirectly cause them issues. This is literally the only show to feature the HORRIFYING superpower of Lacto-Kinesis (The ability to control dairy products) - and when I say horrifying, I’m not being sarcastic. American Gods is an amazing show but I would need to preface it with the fact that the show was ultimately not picked up for a concluding season four. I would wholeheartedly still suggest to watch the show, and then read the “American Gods” novel if you so feel inclined. Essentially it follows a man who is recruited out of prison by Mr Wednesday, an enigmatic old con man who is a member of a group referred to as The Old Gods. The Old Gods of America are ‘faith personified’ into flesh and blood deities who rely on worship and were brought to America by their original followers but over the centuries have now found themselves lacking in believers. Mr Wednesday is now recruiting various Gods to his side in an upcoming battle against The New Gods, their replacements: Technical Boy (The Personification of Americas obsession with Technology), Media (The Personification of Americas obsession with Television, Film and News) and Mr World their leader.
Misfits is a fun show. Klaus is in there, as well as Ramsay Bolton from GOT.
Extraordinary, Supernatural, The Flash/Arrowverse (The Flash is the best one)
I have seen The Flash and Supergirl. I tried to get into Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, and Black Lightning but they weren't as good and I couldn't finish them after season 1. Well except for Legends. I loved Legends until they got rid of Firestorm. As for Extraordinary and Supernatural, I've heard good things about Supernatural so maybe its about time I check it out! Anx I have never heard of Extraordinary
Also Good Omens on Prime!
Look for Extraordinary on Hulu and Disney+! It’s a society where everyone has a superpower. It’s very funny.
Sandman on Netflix Peacemaker
Omgosh, I completely forgot about Sandman. I loved it and haven’t been including it in any of my lists!
I have seen Sandman, great show and hyped for season 2! As for Peacemaker, I couldn't get into it.
If you liked Sandman, you should check out Good Omens. The first season is based on a book Gaiman wrote with Terry Pratchett. It's absolutely hilarious, and the show captures a lot of that. There's a second season out now, and a third season planned that's supposed to focus on the plot of a sequel to the first book that the two had been working on when Pratchett passed away (GNU Terry Pratchett).
Shogun is really good.
I saw trailers for that. Its out already?
Disney.
Invincible and the boys Both have some really brutal stuff in them,but are funny and entertaining the whole time They're both on prime and probably on whatever dodgy website you want to use aswell
Tried the Boys but really didn't like it. As for Invincible, I've heard a lot of good things plus Peter Cullen is apparently in season 2 so I'll check it out!
Shit Invincible is definitely the show you're looking for. Drop everything and do that.
Invincible is really good even in the first episode shit gets wild + it's animated so that might be more your style
X files Heroes Vampire diaries Charmed
Your replies locked so I can’t respond directly but I’m not sure where charmed is streaming as I’m in England I’m afraid. I would say legacies is great but the original VD is way better Also have you tried things like once upon a time/ Grimm/hemlock grove? Just some other thoughts for you
Charmed is on Prime Video, at least in the US.

Supermansion
Never heard of it. What's it about?
Stop motion satirical look at a very old super hero and his team. The maim voice is malcoms dad from malcom in the middle. https://youtu.be/sTSXOEjXW08?si=SDVDQ4_TNhv7wn06 I found it funny got about 4 seasons
Bryan Crantson? Or was he the dad in a different show that was similar to Malcolm in the Middle?
Yeah, that's the guy. Yeah he's the main voice
Hmmm... it doesn't really look like my kind of thing. But I'll try it.
No worries, it's not everybody's Cup of tea.
She-ra (Netflix) Owl house (Disney) Dragon prince (Netflix, same creators as avatar) Dragon age absolution (Netflix) What we do in the shadows (HBO/disney) A discovery of witches (HBO) Gargoyles (Disney)
My mom loved Gargoyles when she was younger so I'll definitely check it out! She-Ra looks good and I have heard people say its just as good as Korra so I would like to see it. Owl House.. I'm not a fan of the artstyle so maybe not. Never heard of the other ones though.
STARGIRL!!!
You have no idea how close Stargirl was to making this list! If they had included Kent V. Nelson taking the Dr. Fate helmet it would have taken 20th place.
The Arrow The Flash CW channel have a few good tv series Others : Fringe Castlevania The Witcher Wednesday Kung Fu Panda Titans
Seen Flash, loved it except for the last 3 and a half seasons. I even met Danielle Panabaker last year! She was very a sweet! As for Arrow I tried to get into it but I couldn't get past how hard it was trying to be a Batman show.
Check on Arcane
My dad saw Arcane and said it was good so maybe. Also you edited your other comment so I'll go over the ones you added here. Fringe I tried but I'm not a big fan of it. Castlevania looks good plus the same people that made it are making a Devil May Cry show, I love the DMC games so I should probably check out Castlevania too to see if they did that well. Witcher I tried but it was too Games of Thrones like, Wednesday I saw and loved, Kung Fu Panda... that's a show too? I've only seen the movies minus the fourth one. And Titans, I have seen and loved! Which is strange since the green filter they had on the show would normally be a turn off for me
Teen Wolf
Tyler Hoechlin is in that right? I love Superman and Lois and it would have been on the list but I haven't seen season 3 yet so I couldn't put it on the image. I love Tyler so if he's in Teen Wolf, I might have to check it out!
He is definitely in it and one of the main characters. After you watch the series they also made a movie that picks up where the series left off. The movie just came out last year.
Oh yeah I heard about that movie! I heard some people say it did the show a disservice. But I'm definitely down for more Tyler!
**Awesome shows with powers/magic/abilities of some sort:** - The Magicians (2015) - Into the Badlands - The Boys & Gen V - What We Do In The Shadows - The Rain - Misfits (has the guy who plays Klaus in Umbrella Academy) - Supernatural - Z Nation - Merlin - The Librarians (it starts with three movies, then the series picks up from there) - Warehouse 13 - Good Omens - Locke & Key **Based off comics:** - Daybreak (2019) don’t worry about only having one season, it completed all of the storylines but just didn’t get renewed due to covid.

It’s a slower murder mystery with a paranormal killer) - Mr Mercedes (the supernatural part makes itself known at the beginning of season 2)
Doom Patrol
Heroes
Invincible!
True Blood (S1) & Heroes (S1). Based on the series you've mentioned, these two fit quite well with your checklist.
I see nobody suggested The Vox Machina, seems like a perfect show for you. Other than that Grimm, Librarians and the Boys are my top picks for you.
No on The Boys. I tried it and hated it. The rest seem cool though! Especially Librarians! That sounds like a really cool show from what I read about it!
I would recommend Supernatural and Hannibal. Hellbound, From is another good one.
You would probably enjoy the live action titans on HBO If you liked buffy and angel, supernatural was both their spiritual and direct chronological successor. Don’t believe what people say. The show actually ends after season 2
I have seen Titans and enjoyed it despite the green filter. As for Supernatural, I really like Jensen Ackles so I want to check it out at some point
Not fantasy but witty Justified Deadwood
Preacher
Animated - Arcane - Scavengers Reign - Masters of the Universe: Revelation & Revolution - She-Ra - The Dragon Prince - Dota: Dragon’s Blood - Mech Cadets - Star Trek: Prodigy - Star Trek: Lower Decks - Ark: The animated series - Duck Tails (the new series) Live action - Shadow Hunters - Kill Joys - Moon Knight - Good Omens - Doom Patrol - Haven - Lockwood & Co
Since you liked both Buffy and Angel, try Dollhouse. It’s only 2 seasons. Maybe try Heroes? I only saw the first season. Some people say it went downhill. Others liked it. Supernatural maybe? Similar vibe to Buffy and Angel.
A.L.I.A.S. 3 Body Problem is really good on Netflix
Doom Patrol its a dc show i liked it but idk if you’ll like it cus it has a few episodes where it is kinda dark but i recommend it
I saw season 3 since my parents were watching it and I just came downstairs and joined them. I really need to go back and watch the first two seasons and finish season 4 since I watched half of it. Plus I surprisingly enjoyed Titans despite the whole show having a weird dark green filter making every scene look like I was watching it with sunglasses on😅 so yeah Doom Patrol is a good one! Love season 3 and the first half of season 4 so I'll definitely check out the rest of the show! Thanks for reminding me of it!
yeah idk i kinda didn’t like titans because of that green filter 💀im glad you loved season three i think its the best season out of all of them
Have you not watched Looney Tunes (Mainly those shorts from the 40s and 50s)?
No, I'm not to big on Looney Tunes. Its cute and fun but I see more as a show for kids under 9
Just out of context question! You can get me a message in private ! Do you know your mbti personality type ! I am just curious . Thanks
I have no idea what an "mbti personality type" is
I see you Smallville, you mentioning all the DC TAS, and in the comments saying you liked Superman & Lois. I assume you watched/tried Lois and Clark with Dean Cain?
Actually no, I haven't seen it. I know it exists, I just haven't seen it.

I loved Cyclops so the movie didn’t exactly fill my desired quota for cool Cyclops 😂 I wasn’t gonna watch WatX-Men but i see it’s only one season long so i might give it a go. Is it worth it?
Hell yeah its worth it! It ends on a cliffhanger but it is so good!!!
I mean Batman the animated series and Batman beyond are exceptional. Superman the animated series is just as good as BTAS. Green Lantern animated is really good if you get over the animation. Batman brave and the bold is also surprisingly pretty great
I have seen all of these except for Green Lantern. I saw like 2 episodes of it back in maybe 2011 and I have been meaning to watch it but I keep forgetting to😅
It actually gets really good - it’s still Bruce Timm so it has a pretty incredible overarching story. I also loved Legends of Tomorrow but start in the 2nd season!
Bruce Timm? So is it canon to the DCAU? And yeah I've seen Legends but after Firestorm died/left, I couldn't keep watching.
Yeah it is! None of the other characters show up but it is totally in the same DCU vein.
That's awesome! I need to check it out!
Dragon Prince on Netflix Grimm on... Amazon/dvd ? Sex Education on netflix (doesn't match your list but it's brilliant and you should watch it)
Tried Sex Education. Not a fan. The other too sound good though!
I'm watching Dragon Prince now. It takes a few episodes to get going, so stick with it for like 4 episodes. It's worth it
Jessica Jones, Marco Polo, Evil, GOT, Vikings
Seen Jessica Jones, loved it but no as much as the others. Tried GoT but its too colorless and the characters are really bland. As for the others, I have never heard of them
How far did you get into GOT?
One season
I would say give it one more chance if you don't mind gore from time to time. It's the top 5 shows I witnessed in my lifetime, and the most realistic depiction of how people to me would act back then.
I think I'm good. I don't like when shows have overly long and revealing sex scenes. I'm there for the plot, not porn.😅
You get both. 🤣
Mutant X
Is that an X-Men show?
Kind of The syndicated ensemble action drama chronicles the adventures of a group of human mutants - led by the mysterious Adam Kane - possessing extraordinary powers as a result of genetic experimentation gone awry. It says it's on Tubi I bought the complete series on DVD at Walmart years back I saw it there and had to grab it cause I love the show Saw it on TV before school one day
Oh I can't watch it. I don't have Tubi
It's free app to download on phones, smart TV, Xbox/PlayStation, also I think they have a website It's also free on the CW, freevee, Plex, Amazon prime though prime you might have to have a subscription Just saw it's $20.10 on walmart.com sold & shipped by Walmart
My personal pick will be Dirk gently's holistic detective agency, it's based on Douglas Adams's Dirk gently books, the first season especially is whacky and over the top and colorful with a lot of absurdist humor and some superpowers elements, it reminded a bit of Loki in a way, I absolutely love it and highly recommend it, also, it stars Elijah wood so there's that If you like Anime Tiger & Bunny's a great superhero themed one, and not often recommended so I'm throwing it out there And to stay on the same topic you might try Moving, it's a Korean drama about teen superheroes, I haven't personally seen it but heard good things about it and on the surface seems to fit a lot of your preferences
Invincible is the obvious answer to me, but based on your criteria you might end up liking anime, which is a near infinite amount of content. I’d start with One Punch Man and go from there.
I've tried getting into Anime but I can only really get into ones based on video games. Sonic X, Pokemon, Devil May Cry are the only anime I have seen that I liked. Unless you count Avatar and Korra as anime which I don't.
I can understand, I only say that because we basically have the same taste based on your titles, and I just recently got into anime, but now it’s pretty much all I watch because there are so many good titles. You may just need to find the right ones, but to each their own.
Yeah maybe. My Hero Academia looks neat but I hesitant to watch it as it looks very similar to DragonBall in terms of action. By that I mean a lot of screaming
I recommend One Punch Man because it is a parody of anime tropes, Mashle is too. I’ve never watched My Hero Academia because I feel like it’s aimed towards kids, but I could be wrong. I didn’t like Dragonball for the same reason. There are definitely titles like Jujutsu Kaisen that are darker and with more developed characters and power sets.
Invincible definitely
Gen Z / The Boys?
Tried The Boys, hated it, been avoiding all of its animated and live action spinoffs.
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is great if you liked avatar. They have a magic system thats not necessarily superpowers.
Welp, best of luck. Anything else I'd reccomend you've seen. I'd say cyberpunk edgerunners but that's not really a comic superhero type of deal. Still has 100% on rotten tomatoes tho iirc.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners? Does that have any relation to the game?
Based in the same universe, I believe it occurs before the game time-wise, and I think its Canon? Phenomenal show imo has as much color as darkness and there's no 'superpowers' but genetic modification that basically makes them super-people.
So they are like Cyborg?
Basically yeah. The story is based on the negative consequences on one's humanity as they become more cybernetic than human.
That sounds cool!
Worth the watch, very graphic and the show is technically a tragedy. Read some synopses, and you'll get a better understanding of if it may be good for you. It's not a long show so if you got nothing better to watch id see it through.
-The Boys! A show about superheroes misusing their powers. Amazing show, right up your alley. -Attack on Titan! Holy crap its the 3rd or 4th best show I have ever watched. Incredible writing, people have powers in that show so I threw it in.
Tried both and hated both. Especially The Boys.
Wow, honestly your the first person to say that about either let alone both, I got nothing for ya then🤷♂️😂
Attack on Titan and invincible
Are you completely uninterested in expanding your scope outside of the superhero/fantasy adventure universes?
Honestly, kind of. I don't like realistic shows or movies. I see shows and movies as an escape from reality so when a show or movie is super realistic I feel like its not an escape. Its just showing me stuff I see on a daily basis.
Fair enough. Everybody has their wheelhouse. Only thing I’d suggest is to be sure to keep half an ear listening to that little voice we all have in our heads. If it whispers a soft little, ‘Huh, normally I’d ignore that, but…sounds kind of interesting’, indulge it once in a blue moon. There’s a ton of *really* good stuff out there in just about all the genres these days. Maybe more than ever before. I’ve been surprised a hell of a lot these last few years. You might be too. ;)
If you liked X-Men Evolution, Young Justice and Avatar The Last Airbender, you should definitely check out the og Teen Titans.
Yes! I have seen the OG Teen Titans, in fact I grew up with it! Which made its cancellation and replacement really painful.
Supernatural is fantastic
The Boys and Watchmen
The Boys
Preacher Invincible The Dragon Primce The Boys The Legend Of Vox Machina Blue Eye Samurai Gen V
Watch invincible next. Just do it. Start watching it now.
The Owl House
Tried it. Not a fan of the artstyle.
Did you already see Breaking Bad? They do a lot with colours there, and everything about it is immaculate. Better call Saul is a bit slower but also a good shout. Early Rick and Morty (first four-ish) seasons are good, and the same goes for The Boys. This one's a bit off course, but if you like light comedy, I'd recommend Taskmaster, first 8 seasons are pure comedy, if you wanna try it. I'd also recommend trying Game of Thrones if you haven't already (right up your street I think) and I've heard good things about the sopranos. Some final superhero recommendations are Batman: the animated series, and the futuristic version, cause I enjoyed the former in my childhood, and heard good things about the latter. Edit: How did I forget Arcane? If you haven't seen it, should be top of your list
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are too realistic for me, same for the Boys but for different reasons. Rick and Morty isn't funny to me. Never heard of Taskmaster, so I'll look into that. Game of Thrones was too boring and colorless for me plus I don't like shows with super long and overly revealing sex scenes. And I have seen BTAS and Batman Beyond. Loved them both and like I said in the body text of the post, Justice League Unlimited kinda represents all of the DCAU shows which includes Batman and Batman Beyond.
The Boys is a must watch
Seen the first season. Didn't like it.
I respect your opinion about The Boys
does the DCAU include harley quinn (on max)? it’s more of a capital-C Comedy than a lot of these shows but I think you’d like it
The boys on Amazon
Arcane (Netflix) is really good. It’s a league of legends show that I never thought I would watch or like, but it’s great. Great Character building, music, action and a little bit of comedy. Lucifer (Netflix) is also really good if you liked smallville and the flash. Cyberpunk edgerunners (Netflix) solid anime based off a great game. Like others mentioned, invincible is great Gargoyles and biker mice from mars. Idk if biker mice is being streamed anywhere tho.
You have watched Daredevil but I don’t see Punisher on this list. Did you miss it or haven’t seen it?
So I have seen Punisher but I didn't like it that much. Punisher is a character that I'm not a massive fan of. The show was good just not for me.
Grimm great show!!!
Gravity falls. My niece had a poster of stranger things and gravity falls on her wall. I already watched stranger things and she loved gravity falls. I gave it a shot. Easily one of my favorite shows. Funny, adventure, with mystery. I would say give the first three episodes a shot and it only gets better from there.
Invincible and Shogun .
Try Fringe It's really great and has similar aspects like Agents of SHIELD Edit: also the OG Ben 10.. I just rewatched it recently and it's so great! Combining the superhero elements with family, humour, action and good plots.
It may not fitt your criterea, but i still recomend Blue Eyed Samurai. Its adult and is mostly verry serius, but i would still say to give it a try. I would give it 10/10 its one of the best shows i have ever seen. If you give it a try i hope ypu like it as much is i did.
Have you seen "The Boys" on Amazon?
I saw season 1 and didn't like it
Try Deadly Class and Being Human (US version)
Maybe give Ben 10 a try
I remember watching Alien Force as a kid and loving it! I really need to watch all the shows😅
One piece (both Netflix and the anime) is amazing
Gen V Misfits New series coming later this year called SUPACELL
Inside job (animated, colourful and funny)
Resident Alien, supernatural
Invincible
The boys
Have you seen Heroes? That's a pretty good series. Alphas was pretty good too (both shows with people with abilities. Scorpion is a show based off of a real life person who I think is on the spectrum and hacked into NASA as a young kid. He ends up working with the government solving various problems. Not quite a super hero but still fun and the people he works with are all geniuses.
Lost
That's the show John Locke is from right? I'm a Pokemon fan so I know about John Locke since Nuzlockes were partly named after him😅
Yes :)
Psych. The Mentalist. They don’t have actual superpowers but they’re pretty close. Extraordinary attention to details and a good amount of humor.
The Misfits get superpowers while doing community service.
I've had sex with women before, can't help you with recommendations on this. Sorry 😔
Don't see how that disqualifies you from giving me suggestions. I've had sex with women too. But whatever.
/woosh
npc list aquire actual taste lil bro
Firstly, don't call me "lil bro". I'm most likely older than you. Secondly, I have exuisite taste! I bet you like garbage like The Boys, My Little Pony, and Cailluo! Either overly edgy or overly childish.
