Elliot from Earth continues to be good. Up to episode 9 now and it’s fallen into a very Hitchhiker’s Guide sort of feel, which I don’t hate.

Yeah, as a choice of atmosphere, it's mostly harmless.

The World: OK, here's this successful show, just don't make an arse of yourself, all you need to do is release it!

Disney: [Destroys half of the room, screaming like an imbecile, and releases the show in such a way as to make farce of the work done.]

Just watch, its not even that given Matt's deleted post mentioned that the reason for the pull was "insane".

If they pulled on that, given real world circumstances, that would actually be quite sane imho.

It was OK but it suffers from Gregg Wiesman's habbit of planing for six seasons when he keeps getting the two.

This habbit of dumping the first to eps of a show and then running off, arms flailing like The Joker, is a frustrating show of power for Toei and as such its very them.

There's littearly nothing stopping them from putting the show out in its entirity or giving it to another, non locked, streaming service.

They have a few shows done but they're all (afik) third tier stuff from the 80's and none of its subbed to completion (besides the KR movies they have out because those only have the one thing to put out).

Also Tubi is region locked outside of the use so (fart noises).

I noted in the She-Ra thread they actually had the little guy acting badass in this trailer, which is rather unexpected characterization. So maybe you're closer to the truth than you know!

It might be even worse than the bitching about SPoP for that matter.

The stupid thing is the advertising was selling an absolutely diffrent show so that's a foothold that had no reason to exist that the cow-havers will absolutely milk dry.

At least with PoP they were pretty clear it was a new take from the off.

This just feels disingenuous.

It's less its (a different take on) He-man, as much as I enjoyed the 2k3 version as 'thing I watched before school / uni', and more the whole "The adverts were full of poo poo" thing for me.

Like I said, all that does is annoy people and give the cow havers enough ammo to never have to shut up about it.

I'm begining to wonder if having the (somewhat obvious) reversal of the state of things be left in the wilderness for six months in sevrvice of Netflix's trough viewing model is doing the show a diservice (moreso than it does normally, I mean) and letting the chuds have a foodhold where they really shouldn't.

He-Man is "in it". The whole point of the show is the weight of his absence and the impact of serious consequences and grief onto a setting where the stakes had always been low. It's sort of comparable to Pleasantville.

It's Death (and Return, and Death, and Return presumably) of He-Man

Thankfully without the Metropolis Kid. Oh boy, could you imagine?

I saw some of the leaked concept art for this, and said "oh, it would be cool if that gets made; I hope it does."

I was not expecting it to get made and be filled with actual Cartoon Network and Hanna-Barbera characters with none of the serial numbers filed off.

If this does go series, and the response has been pretty good from what I see, they're going to have to be very careful about who gets 'norted cuz the horror of, say, T.O.M. eating poo poo will have dulled if we see whole worlds worth of named characters having done so previously.

There's also a Starship Troopers CGI cartoon listed that they worked on, and I have no clue where or whether that ever aired. It got cancelled pretty fast.

You mean Roughnecks? I think that went to Sci-Fi as it's a BKN Joint.

Yeah the Toy Galaxy video covers it, I assume this is just the result of their Kickstarter getting attention and them scraping up enough cash outside of Kickstarter to begin production

Still, you know what 1993-1994 toy commercial with a rockin' theme song should get a revival? That's riiiiiiiight

Also in regards to Ladybug, why did the originally planned 2D series fall through out of curiosity? It looked really good based on the promos I’ve seen at least

They got told to eat poo poo by the money men with some crap about 2D being for very young audiances if I recall corectly.

Then the showrunner, Thomas Astruc, went quite, quite mad and took the show down the tubes with him.
