Xelkelvos posted:There's definitely a ton of hooks for a potential season 3, I just hope it gets enough viewers to justify it and the budget to back it up and it doesn't spin its wheels too much in dealing with it. I hope we get a run at least as long as the cartoon's. For a character who's been around as long as the Tick has, I've never really felt there was enough. Ben Edlund spent ten years on Supernatural he can spend five on the big blue boi

Holy poo poo, final episode spoiler when the tentacles come out, they shout THRAKKAZOG In conclusion, this incarnation of the Tick is perfect and I wish we could get a 24 episode season. Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Apr 14, 2019 |

I hope this guy is wrong but it makes sense, I feel like this season was barely advertised: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9PRcL_ljyc (basically arguing that executive lineup changes at Amazon may explain lack of promotion for The Tick / possible upcoming cancellation) Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Apr 14, 2019 |

Found some neat stuff in Ben Edlund's twitter feed: https://twitter.com/tickarthur/status/1114292327629983744 https://twitter.com/GriffLightning/status/1114014932788342784 https://twitter.com/lizlet/status/1114192799723687940 quote:When it comes to a third season, Edlund is hopeful. “It’s a big show, so we need to prove ourselves in this season, in its response,” he said. “I think we got something going that people would like to see more of. So, I am cautiously optimistic that a response will be tendered that gives us a shot, you know?” So what I'm hearing is, make sure you're reviewing and rating the show on Amazon itself.

From Reddit:quote:I’m reaching out to all our fans to ask you to help us get a Season 3. Stream the show. Restream the show. Have you friends, family and pets stream the show. Tweet about it to Amazon Prime Video. Write reviews on Amazon and Rotten Tomatoes. The first three weeks are crucial for us and we need all hands on deck. Trust me I know what could happen in Season 3 and you definitely want to see it. Thanks, chums! And SPOOOON!! https://www.reddit.com/r/thetick/comments/beeexy/hi_im_a_writer_coep_on_the_tick/

The only goddam problem with this show is, there isn't anywhere near enough of it.

OK, I have a new personal headcanon for this show: This show and the Tick cartoon series take place in the same universe. However, the Amazon series is filtered through Arthur's viewpoint, while the cartoon is filtered through Tick's viewpoint. For example, Aegis and the Comet Club? Same thing.

tarlibone posted:I like that they've turned Dot from a character whose sole purpose is to be the 100% normal, straight-laced sibling to the co-lead protagonist, a guy who wants to be in the superhero game and suddenly can be thanks to a super-suit and a nigh-invulnerable superhero who has inexplicably imprinted on him. Instead of just being a contrast point, like the little heart some women put on their bodies to gauge how deep their tan is, she's a well-rounded character and full-on badass. Well, a badass in training, but that's badder of an rear end than I was expecting when this all began. I thought she'd be a caretaker-type who is constantly pulling Arthur back toward normalcy, but she's not. I listened to a Ben Edlund interview where he talked about this. He said that Dot's "tragic flaw" was that she was born a third tier supporting character, having to be a caregiver for Arthur, and never got a chance to deal with her own trauma; now that Arthur's standing on his own feet, she's finally able to have a look at herself.

This seemed worth sharing: https://twitter.com/thecosplaydog/status/1128902562994950144 EDIT: DAMMIT >_< https://twitter.com/ben_edlund/status/1129086411833921536 Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 19:28 on May 16, 2019 |

The crazy thing is, I think it's literally their highest-rated show right now by the numbers. Percentagewise it has 95% positive on Amazon; their other "hit" shows like Ms. Maisel and Bosch peak out at 80%. edit: https://twitter.com/Josh_Schubart/status/1129120848844120064 Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 21:26 on May 16, 2019 |

One really weird thing about this show is that everyone who watches it loves it but it still seems to be a niche show with a small audience. I think Amazon really turbo-hosed the marketing on the show, partly by just not advertising it intelligently (there were some billboards?) and partly by the weird rear end release schedule that killed momentum. Should've gone with just a normal episode a week release like What We Do in the Shadows.

What really sets Tick apart from other comedy is that it's very heart-forward, loving, positive comedy. It never demeans or mocks, it always uplifts. That's *really* hard to do. Ben Edlund is one of the best writers on television and the reason Supernatural got fifteen seasons. I still think that the "little wooden boy and the belly of love" is one of the top ten half hour television comedies ever written, right up there with the Tiny Town episode of Arrested Development but a decade prior.

Pick posted:It is. That episode is crazy tight in terms of laughs-a-minute and overall cleverness. What I especially love about it is that it pulls off that almost magical sleight-of-hand trick you only see in the absolute best comedies, where a bunch of apparently random elements just crystallize out of suspension in the last moments of the show.

I'd even take a comic book. I just want to know the rest of the five year story.
