It's pretty funny that there is no further resolution to that, she just grabs her money and exits the movie like she's Benicio Del Toro in a Star Wars movie. I guess the producers of the cartoon had kids like me in mind, I rooted for her to get together with Ipkiss.

I recall it's briefly mentioned as a trust issue between them and she's basically "Don't Tell me you're still sore about that, jeez." also there was a crossover episode where Ace Ventura got the mask stuck to his butt

Man, now I want the Onion AV Club to go into exhaustive detail on every Jim Carrey cartoon show. Or maybe there's already a wiki page with way too detailed episode summaries that would out of context seem crazy, like the mask getting stuck to Ace Ventura's butt.

There's also the Beetlejuice Cartoon where Lydia is now his BFF instead of say in the movie where he tries to force her into being his child bride.

I've been reading Teppuu, which is about women's MMA. (Right to left)  And Swamp Thing, which is the first...traditional? comic book I've read. A friend found out I like Pogo and sent me this arc.

After reading the mask comic I went to a fan wiki and it was so poorly written,l and organized that for half a second I considered rewriting it. I opened the edit page and tried to make sense of the 10000 non paragraphed tldr block of text and noped out.

I know it's unlikely to happen because the role is associated with Carrey, but I'd love to see another adaption. Mainly because I want to see Walter, nominally non-supernatural but defacto Juggernaut-level unstoppable adversary of the Mask.

a super r rated Netflix mask show would honestly probably be a trip to watch also i would love to see reactions from people who only know the mask from nostalgia memories of the Jim Carrey movie, esp since Stanley is a huge piece of poo poo who dies lol

This thread reminded me that I never read The Mask, so I went ahead and ordered the first omnibus. Also, I really did not like the movie. It felt like it was one third of a film with very little action in it and not much in the way of escalation; basically two scenes of antics and the rest was non-masked Jim Carry puttering around. It has been decades since I watched it, but I doubt my impression of it is going to improve.

Had me confused as hell as a kid since I was watching the cartoons for a while before actually seeing the movie. On a similar note, how about Rambo: The Force of Freedom as yet another cartoon adaptation of something definitely not for kids?

It sucks that I'm pretty sure it ended and they never resolved the overall plot, but IIRC Conan's magical talking phoenix went out in a literal blaze of glory, and the wolf companions managed to get elevated into reverse were wolves, so yay?

Conan got me in a deep dive on 90s cartoon intros, and this banger popped up. I give you King Arthur and the Knights of Justice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjbWDjzTM0A Always thought that Arthur summoning the dragon from the shield was so badass.

I forget if this was in the script itself or the novelizations, but in-universe, OCP heavily marketed RoboCop to kids, complete with action figures and such, and it was very definitely an internal commentary on how hosed up that was. RoboCop really was a perfect movie the first time around.
