rohitian Review of JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time

JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time (2014 Video)

It's pronounced "chee", not "key"

[4/10 · 17 April 2023]

The voice actors were talented -- especially veterans like Dante Basco (Rufio/Zuko) and Diedrich Bader (Drew Carey Show). However, the animation was grainy and uneven. The direction was lazy here. The starkest example being the mispronunciation of the word, qi. Maybe don't direct others to pronounce a word, if you don't know what the word means. All you had to do was consult the writers (or a dictionary), before going into the sound studio. My one criticism of the writing might be that the script did not really commit to a tone. It was sarcastic with Robin, and childish with the future heroes, and dark with the Time Trapper. As a result, the dialogue often felt forced. Always fun to watch these characters, even in orchestrated productions -- it would have been nice if the makers knew their stuff better.
