I've read through a few of the Ultimate Spider-Man comics. All the women in the series look like men.

Aces High posted:Soooo, I've never read a lot of the Ultimate series, but does it follow (kind of) the regular Amazing Spider-Man series? I was actually kind of happy that they were keeping up with Peter's original streak with the ladies instead of just chickening out and setting him up with Mary Jane in Spectacular Spider-Man I don't think I've touched a Marvel comic since the 90's, but I do know that the Ultimate universe started Peter Parker off in high school and that he eventually hooked up with MJ because it's a Spider-Man comic and that's how it goes. Spectacular Spider-Man cherry picked from the original Marvel universe, Ultimate universe, and the movie series, respectively.

I think the only significant difference I recall was just that Pete got bitten by a genetically altered spider (...like in the movie I guess) because everyone realised the silliness of a radioactive spider from the 60s (I dunno, genetically altered spider passing on spider-like traits to a human is about as implausible as a radioactive spider so who cares?)

Well, Joe Murray has a new animation website. There is also an interview with Jessica Borutski. She is the animator on The Looney Tunes Show. I always thought the character designs looked familiar.

I really don't have a problem with the new character designs. They haven't been drastically changed and they look nice and vibrant. If anything, my gripe is with the hackneyed, sitcom premise of Bugs and Daffy being roommates in suburbia interspersed with 'Music Videos'. I'm a hard sell on musical stuff. But, if the writing is classic, clever Loony Toons humor, it might not be that bad. thelaughingman posted:Well, Joe Murray has a new animation website. There's a test episode for 'Frog In A Suit' here, as well as Murray explaining the whole situation pretty well despite looking like he just came off of a three-day bender. I'm not really sold on it yet. KaboingTV sounds like something that would have been innovative seven or eight years ago when flash cartoons weren't a dime a dozen and channels like Cartoon Network and Disney didn't offer free episodes of their shows on their websites. I think it's going to be hard for Murray to generate a lot of interest in his pet project. I wish him the best of luck, though. I can appreciate going the independent route, and I do hope something comes of this even though I'm really pessimistic.

Looking at those character designs the only two I dislike are Sylvester (who has too much of a fatass) and Petunia, but then she never really had an agreed upon and iconic look anyway so if you have to change someone...

Is it just me, or has there been a lot of news lately about new Thundercats projects ever since the creator died? It's like everyone knew it was going to happen and decided to hold out until he was murdered for the extra publicity.

TigerMoJo posted:I watched an episode of the most retarded cartoon the other day. I think it was on Disney but I'm not 100% and I can't remember what it was called. It was Asian themed and I think had something to do with humans vs. animals. The characters were mostly strange things that didn't look like either. There was this gigantic helmet machine that looked like a Nazi thing. I know this is the worst description ever but if anyone has a clue please let me know. Hero 120 (or whatever the number is)? God, it's awful. I think everyone willingly involved with that show needs to be locked in an elevator and forced to watch just one episode, while all suffering hangovers, just so they can understand exactly what they've created. If only they'd cancel that show, Johnny Test, and Garfield, I'd be a happy camper--oh, and while they're at it, those two Flash-animated teenager shows, too. (Actually, at this point, I hate pretty much all Flash cartoons--or at least, those which were obviously done in Flash. You know the kind. The only well-animated one I can think of seems to be Kick Buttowski.) Oh, and I adore Phineas and Ferb, but as someone who's never really gotten into the Fairly Odd Parents and Powerpuff Girls largely because of the animation style, I can understand being leery about a show because you're not keen on its aesthetic. thelaughingman posted:So, what's the consensus on Fanboy and Chumchum? That a prescription of Ritalin would do them a lot of good. Oh, and speaking of ugly character designs: Sockser posted:Interesting premise, too, and they kill it with ugly dragons and ebonics. Aces High posted:And yes, Stoked, 6teen, and all Total Drama Whatever are from Fresh TV (which I guess is Canadian) As is Monster Buster Club, which is worse than all of those put together, and then some. Oh, and you guys changed the title of Beast Wars to Beasties, and you got your panties in a twist over the Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles and Michelangelo's nunchuks. I love you, Canada, but sometimes, you make it very, very hard.  Sockser posted:Spectacular Spider-man is absolutely amazing and I thought the third season was in the works. That show actually made me really like Spiderman, after the early 90's cartoon had made me hate him, because there, he was cast as a whiny, neurotic little martyr, like Jesus crossed (ha) with Woody Allen. But, apparently, everything I love has to die.

Rewatched all the Angry Beavers episodes put on Netflix, and wow, that show was too smart for its own good. The wordplay was amazing. The Yak In A Sak episode probably being one of my favorites. That and Norbert and I share a love for terrible black and white sci-fi B-movies. "Your underwear says Wednesday? That's strange. Mine say October." "As? What's as?" "It's A.S., it's an O-mage to Jules Verne."

Speaking of the Angry Beavers, did the final episode ever get released in any way? Supposedly it utterly trashed Nick's strategy of showing tons of re-runs and awkward way of releasing new episodes of shows, and was never aired.

Only thing I can find is wiki articles about a bunch of episodes that aired overseas and not in the us, and this quote from Everything2: Daggett: "Norbie? What happens when you're...over?" Norbert: "Oh, it's not so bad. If the cartoon's good, even if it isn't, it's rerun-incarnated!" Dag: "Ooh...does that hurt?" Norb: "No... Only when you get the later checks. The Cartoon-Being-Over Guys rerun it over and over and they make lots of well deserved money." Dag: "Which they share with the people who made the cartoon, right?" Norb: (laughs uproariously) "Right. So you see it's all for the better." Dag: "Right!" Norb: "Even though we're vanishing we'll be back over and over again at virtually no cost to the Network!"

There's also this audio track featuring voice actors Richard Horvitz (Dag) and Nick Bakay (Norb) recreating the last episode for a podcast. Don't know how legit it is though.

Y-Hat posted:Sorry to bash Johnny Test like a pinata, but goddamn, is the animation for that show awful or what? Too many sharp corners for my liking and it looks trashy as well. It makes the animation for Phineas and Ferb (which also has characters with a lot of sharp corners) look like a masterpiece. To be honest the character designs are the only thing halfway decent about that show (and, I suppose, the bland but not terrible voice acting,) they remind me of Cartoon Network/WB stuff from ten or so years ago.

Shadow The Rat posted:"As? What's as?" The S.S. Ssssssssss! (I only had an S stencil). THE HOWLER LEECHES ARE COMING! SEND MORE MONEY! I'LL SEND MORE STUFF! And a running gag that really amuses me in the Halloween episode- every time their favorite B-movie actor Oxnard Montalvo is mentioned they pull out a picture of him, except it's a different picture every time, so it starts out with something like "Regards, Oxnard Montalvo" and eventually becomes things like "Please stop writing me, Oxnard Montalvo" and finally "Cease and Desist by order of Hollywood P.D." Y-Hat posted:Phineas and Ferb Sell Out? The other potential spin-off- the talk show where they interview celebrities- sounds like it could be interesting, as the idea sounds like it could be a lot like Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Though to really up the comic potential, they'd have to put Doofenshmirtz and/or Monogram in there somehow- as some of the promotional materials and the "top 10 music video" episode show, they're definitely funny apart, but make an even better team (which I guess isn't suprising, as Povenmire and Marsh have known each other for like 15 years now). mobo85 fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Jun 24, 2010 |

While the celebrity interview thing sounds a little sketchy, I approve of Povenmire and Marsh riffing off of each other. I wonder how involved they would actually be in the spin-offs? The interview show features Phineas and Ferb if the New York Times article is to be believed, so Dan and Jeff would probably have a significant hand in it. However, the Fireside Girls show suggests an Executive Producer credit at best for the two. Naturally, this is all conjecture.

Based on the fact that this includes the "rerunincarnated" dialogue bit that writer Micah Wright once had the original recording of on his website, uses being cancelled as a metaphor for death or vice versa (just as was mentioned in a licensed book about the history of Nicktoons), and features a joke in which Daggett takes pleasure in saying "shut up"*, I would imagine the script was the original one- except of course for Rich and Nick calling each other by their real names (and Nick being called "Salem"), which I assume is just the voice actors being goofy during their recreation. *In the later years of the series, "shut up" was a big taboo. There was one episode where a "shut up" had to be overdubbed with "shush up" but Nick Bakay wasn't available in time to do it for the first airing, so it originally aired with the "shut" being bleeped- which made me think he was saying "gently caress off" since the "up" sounded a little like "off."

Just caught a clip of the new Scooby Doo thats premiering next week on CN. Everything about it seems generally better than the crap that was What's New Scooby Doo. Animation, voices, writing all seemed at the very least decent. Best part is that Fred's dad who I believe is the sheriff might become a recurring character which is awesome because he's voiced by Patrick Warburton

He's with MJ fairly early on, but it's not all lovey-dovey all the time. They fight and break up a couple times. The major story points are there, but characters are often totally rewritten from their mainstream counterpart (Harry Osborn is the Hobgoblin as a result of being exposed to his dad's experiments, also the Goblins actually transform into this huge demonic things instead of just putting on tights). It's the best version of Spider-Man in a long long time.

Having just watched the first Scooby-Doo: Mystery Inc., I'm still a bit on the fence. It reminds me of that Simpsons line where Roger Meyers is asking kids what they want to see on Itchy and Scratchy: "You want a realistic, down-to-earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots?" You still have Scooby-Doo running around, being a goofball, and dressing in drag while solving mysteries with the kids, but at the same time the kids are looked down upon by their parents because of this nonsense they go through- mainly because the town's tourism is based around all of these fake monsters. It's an interesting idea, but it just doesn't seem to "gel" with the whole goofy, carefree image of Scooby-Doo and the gang. And for some reason there's also a black radio DJ with an afro and a guy named Mr E. who's warning them that there's a deeper mystery behind the mystery or something. And he's voiced by Lewis Black. And Shaggy's dad is voiced by Casey Kasem, which I thought was clever. And Velma and Shaggy like each other but they don't want Fred and Daphne to know.
