What if the Youngblood animated series on Fox Kids was made?

An animated adaptation of Youngblood was greenlit, and demos of it exist. It actually looks like it would've been a huge improvement over the Liefeld comic, with an animation style that's neat, fluid and almost anime like, has a good mix of action and humor, shows off the celebrity superhero aspect that was rarely shown in the original, and the characters all look much cooler. And yes, they have feet. Granted, this is based off the little we see in the animation demo.

The main reason it got canned? Marvel secured an exclusive deal to be the only comic book adaptations to be aired there, which drove everyone else, including Youngblood off and thus the show never materialized. I think this might've saved Youngblood in the long run to have a good animated series based on it. For those curious about it:

I'll say this much. If Linkara had grown up with THAT on Fox Kids, he would definitely have a better opinion on Youngblood in at least one area.
