Wha? Someone say Orion Slave Girls?

Did someone just invoke Rule 34?

B E C K · « **Reply #32 on:** Dec 12, 2010, 04:43:48 AM »

I thought all of us did that here. I know I do that all the time even for things I hate.

Miss Martian is AWESOME. They made her all demur and gave her freckles... UNNNNNNH!

Anyway, I dug Young Justice. I dug it hard. I especially like how they kind of set it up as a spiritual successor to JLU. Sorry if anyone already pointed that out, I only skimmed.

Prime looked promising from the five minutes I caught. I dunno, will I change my mind once I've seen the rest?

Joe Renegades is heinous. The faces. God, the faces. The face is the most important part of any cartoon character! That's where the fucking life is! But not here, no -- they look like a bunch of generic clone scrunchy-faced people. What the fuck and a half, man.

And just as I was about to post this I remembered what those faces remind me of! That fucking cheap show CN used to air about the kids who were cartoons in the real world and CG "warriors" when they went inside that computer. What the hell was that called? Wasn't the show named after the villain? And you never actually saw the villain, it was just this omnipresent force. Argh, what was it?

What, Code Lyoko?

joe · « **Reply #35 on:** Jan 17, 2011, 11:45:07 PM »

Ugh. Yes! What the fuck, man. Why do they look like that? It's like that weird Korean animation, where they don't give them any guidelines and say, "Just animate it!" and they do but they make everyone look Korean.

I have nothing against Koreans, but Duke is not a fucking Korean.

LOL, that's hilarious!

joe · « **Reply #37 on:** Jan 17, 2011, 11:54:21 PM »

I mean, even saying they're Korean is just wrong. The Koreans are a fine-looking Asian people. These Joes just look like... nothing. Nothing that lives, thank God.

joe · « **Reply #38 on:** Jan 17, 2011, 11:55:38 PM »

Ugh... the more I look at it. Those slit eyes and lips, those dumb noses. What the Christ, man.

B E C K · « **Reply #39 on:** Jan 17, 2011, 11:56:25 PM »

Even the black guys have managed to become Asian.

joe · « **Reply #40 on:** Jan 18, 2011, 12:08:42 AM »

Yeah, and why does he have mutton chops? The baldness I get, you can never go wrong with a bald black man. But mutton chops? No, you never see that outside of the '70s.

I've heard it's actually inspired somewhat by the A-Team, and he's supposed to be their Mr. T -- and of course they couldn't just make him look like Mr. T -- but I don't care. Shit's dumb as hell.

B E C K · « **Reply #41 on:** Jan 18, 2011, 12:09:56 AM »

I'm still laughing at Asian Scarlett.

joe · « **Reply #42 on:** Jan 18, 2011, 12:13:36 AM »

Yeah, right. Exactly. Scarlett is meant to be hot. Red hot. That's the whole point of her. What have they done?

B E C K · « **Reply #43 on:** Jan 18, 2011, 12:16:21 AM »

At least she's not with what's-his-name Ripcord. Is she? She belongs to Snake Eyes dammit! He OWNS her!

joe · « **Reply #44 on:** Jan 18, 2011, 12:21:37 AM »

I'm pretty sure Ripcord's in it. I think they wanted to be quasi-movie relevant. I could be wrong though. Or maybe he's in it but they're not together. I dunno.

You should see the Conan O'Brien clip with his character, the Flaming C, replacing Superman at the end of the Young Justice premiere (link).

B E C K · « **Reply #46 on:** Jan 21, 2011, 12:05:50 AM »

That was awesome! lol

That was fantastical.

B E C K · « **Reply #48 on:** Jan 21, 2011, 11:49:14 PM »

Oh, gotta add though... that commercial from Lopez Tonight almost made me punch my computer screen. My God, I can't stand that beaner.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #49 on:** Jan 22, 2011, 11:23:39 PM »

Even with the INTERNET famous Antoine (WE GON' FIN' YOU!) Dobson doing his announcing?

B E C K · « **Reply #50 on:** Jan 23, 2011, 01:31:06 AM »

No matter what, George Lopez makes me rage. The only thing that would make me rage more were if he were combined with Carlos Mencia into a two-headed beast and both heads were talking at the same goddamn time.

joe · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 23, 2011, 02:22:20 AM »

Not to be an ignorant, hate-filled racist, but I thought they were the same guy, and after checking Google images for both of them, I'm now convinced they're the same guy.

B E C K · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 01:41:17 AM »

You are correct, sir.

Has anyone been following YJ? I don't know if it's my cynical old age (heh) but I'm finding it kinda stale right now. Red Speedy Arrow-guy seems like the only character with a brain. I wish this show took a different approach to this concept, like having adventures with the Mentor/sidekick pairs that eventually brings each junior in contact with another junior from a different pair. So they meet up bit by bit. Like Robin meets KF and KF meets Miss Martian. Then Miss Martian encounters Aqualad and he later meets Robin. Then the three guys break out Superboy so one or two of them end up getting permanently stuck with Superboy and then just form the team like that with them having sparse adventures w/ one of the older heroes. It's like everyone was thrown together for the brilliant scheme to do nothing, but, oooh, conspiracy's afoot! It's not terrible but at times I'd almost bored enough to want to watch Teen Titans and that show seriously got on my nerves.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #54 on:** Feb 19, 2011, 07:12:11 PM »

It's a bit on the slow side, but it's also just getting started. Now that the whole team (as originally advertised) is together now, I expect it to take off soon.

That reminds me, I need to go download that episode. I keep forgetting to watch it.

Fiero · « **Reply #55 on:** Feb 19, 2011, 09:06:00 PM »

Someone told me that they didn't have the okay to use Wonder Womany charachters at the beginning, but now they do. We might get an obnoxious Cassie or a slightly less obnoxious Donna. Have any of you heard for sure what they said about this?

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #56 on:** Feb 19, 2011, 10:32:45 PM »

Maybe for the second season. They've already got the snotty and goody-goody chicks sewn up...for now.

And, hey, Doctor Fate. Love it when they use the oldest of the old guys. Justice Society was one of my favorite books until it split a couple years ago. This was a good episode. I mean, not only our favorite Lord of Order, but one of the Flash's Rogues, Abra Kadabra, and Klarion the Witch-boy, too? Klarion was actually the main villain in at least one Young Justice story arc back when that book (where the show got its name) was around.

I like YJ but they might have been better off doing a new Justice League show instead. Moving on, looks like CN is trying to kill Symbiotic Titan. I guess if it doesn't have toyline it's not worthy of a spot on fridays. Meanwhile, G.I. Joe Renegades is boring and ugly as sin. And i really don't think kids even like G.I Joe anymore. The Wal-marts in my town don't even carry the toys. Then there's TF Prime,um good shit. It reminds me a lot of Beast Wars but that just maybe because of the animation.

B E C K · « **Reply #58 on:** Feb 22, 2011, 12:28:19 AM »

I think it's too much on the slow side. Except for Kid Flash, the other characters (as in the YJ heroes and heroines) could've been interchanged w/ anyone else it wouldn't have mattered one damn bit. Aqualad, Artemis, and Superboy are all dull as hell. The Martain babe ain't much better. Even Supes and Bats come off like generic knock-offs of themselves.

And so far, no idea what kind of Wondergirl we'll get yet. We'll probably get a Donna that acts like Cassie.

B E C K · « **Reply #59 on:** Feb 22, 2011, 12:32:17 AM »

Speaking of Supes, Henry Cavill as Superman. How the hell did I let that one pass me by?
