You know how certain media that rely solely on pop culture tend to get stale and outdated relatively quickly? Plus how they get really awkward to look back on in a few years' time?

It's not really "robot hellboy" I mean sure it may have started like that but I don't think hellboy has ever really fought anything that was actually funny and none horrifying. That and there is no end of the world coming in the atomic robo.

Also "every single strip" is all of 15, sure it can be a little repetitive, but it's still a good joke and it doesn't exactly stay forever to get dull.

Metal Gear Solid 6 looking good.

EDIT: I never liked Scooby Doo, but if they're gonna make a comic about it now, it's a reasonable direction to go in. Velma was apparently a nerd by 1960s terms, and in 2016 terms, that's "drones and gadgets" rather than "smart".

I knew one of the animators to this show. He was a a fat, creepy furry of middling artistic talent who used to draw Megaman fanart which he would later turn around and claim were original characters that just so happened to look like Robot Masters.

I was sure this happened in the 90s because why wouldn't it have happened in the 90s. But it seems like the 90s are now.

It actually first ran in 2005. I remember hearing about it early in high school and thought it was hokey and dumb as poo poo even then. It was trying to revive the 90s X-TREME ATTITUDE!!! aspect of the 90s when it felt hilariously out of place in the mid-2000s. All of the characters look like that have bladed boomerangs for arms and legs; they are, quite literally, edgy.

I can only imagine what the animation studio management was like then:

:sludgepal:: "Uh... We need something to appeal to the kids these days. Last I remember, they like 'extreme attitude' and 'in-your-face awesome'. Um, Looney Tunes is always popular with the kids, I guess. Can you guys in animation give me something edgy and hip?"
:downswords:: "Duhhhhhh! Okay, boss!" *draws literally*
:sludgepal:: "Perfect."

Oh well. At least the parodies were funny:

I remember reading somewhere that they ended up "softening up" the Loonatics characters because they were afraid kids wouldn't like all the sharp edges and scary eyes, so they actually ended up looking more ridiculous in the end.

Even when I was six, Scooby Doo was mediocre as poo poo. It'd be a desperation watch if there was literally nothing else going on in the middle of the day on a Sunday. The neighbor's kids, though, were loving obsessed with Scooby-Doo and collected all kinds of Scooby merchandise.

It always seemed to me to be one of those shows that everyone watched and no one liked, like Captain Planet or Widget the World Watcher.
