I totally went off into a rant....

[Wickedly Yours E]

Talking with a person I know who'd been on atrip, updating'em on the current goings ons...and I totally schpieled off.

MattBlackEmerid:  What else...I finally finished collecting one of the bestest TV CGI series EVER CREATED.
 MattBlackEmerid:  War Planets, or as the canadians call it because they don't like having "WAR" in their TV titles, Shadow Raiders.
 Other Person:  oh?
Other Person:  lol
 MattBlackEmerid:  I named a CAT after the lead guy.
 MattBlackEmerid:  That's how much I loved that show.,
 MattBlackEmerid:  Now if only I could freakin' Find REBOOT.
 Other Person:  I LOVE REBOOT
 MattBlackEmerid:  Third Season of that show was friggin' dark and awesome!
 MattBlackEmerid:  Reboot is the grand-daddy of ALL CGI SHOWS EVER.
 MattBlackEmerid:  Enzo gets his eye CLAWED. GOUGED. Right out!
 MattBlackEmerid:  Never saw that coming.
 Other Person:  I KNOW
 MattBlackEmerid:  I was all "HOLY SHIT!" I was AGAPE for FIVE MINUTES.
 MattBlackEmerid:  ANd the Matrix Vs. Megabyte fight. Hardcore that, while still having some Video Game homages.
Other Person:  yeah
 MattBlackEmerid:  He totally shanked Byte. That was awesome. Messed that bastard up.
 MattBlackEmerid:  .....So yes. I love Reboot too.
 Other Person:  lol
 MattBlackEmerid:  They don't make shows like that anymore, Jenny, and that makes me sad.
 MattBlackEmerid:  Back in the days of Reboot, Batman: TAS, War Planets, even Gargoyles....
Other Person:  =(
 MattBlackEmerid:  You must have watched Gargoyles.
Other Person:  yes
 MattBlackEmerid:  I got that on DVD too...
 Other Person:  I love that show so much
 MattBlackEmerid:  I know it's so cool.
 MattBlackEmerid:  Was watching the episode where Maza gets shot...and they SHOW THE POOL OF BLOOD.
 MattBlackEmerid:  "Holy Shit! This would never fly on modern networks!"
 MattBlackEmerid:  And then when they get'er to the hospital..and they whip out the friggin' HUGE NEEDLE the docot can't even fit his HAND around and like SLAM it into her chest?
"Holy crap! This is a disney show?!"
 MattBlackEmerid:  I'm making myself Nostalgic. Stop me, X.
Other Person:  yup
Other Person:  stop?
Other Person:  lol
 MattBlackEmerid:  I dunno. I'm making myself sad.
 MattBlackEmerid:  Cause....They actually had guns. Bullet firing guns. Not crappy "Light show" guns...
 MattBlackEmerid:  I blame soccer moms for the decline in cartoon entertainment. Soccer moms, Japan, and whoever/whatever company that sets the standards for the shows.
Other Person:  lol
 MattBlackEmerid:  CAUSE. Now a days. Japanese gutted Anime's, Low quality 'toy commercials' shows, or.....rip-off's of previous generations.
 MattBlackEmerid:  Batman TAS, and now what do we get? The Batman. It's placable...but barely.
 MattBlackEmerid:  There's no story. No development! No sympathy for Bruce Wayne! No sympathy for any of the characters! The old TAS show...Man you FELT the SORROW for Freeze!
 MattBlackEmerid:  You couldn't BLAME that guy for going postal. There was MOTIVE and DRIVE and CHARACTER dripping off that guy.
 MattBlackEmerid:  And what'd they do to Mr. Freeze in "The Batman"? He's a petty ante Ice Mutant thug with a penchant for Diamonds. Gay. Doubly Gay.
Other Person:  lol
 MattBlackEmerid:  ......I'm sorry for rambling. It's a sensitive subject, the modern day shows.
 MattBlackEmerid:  I was outraged at what they did to Mr. Freeze. I really was.
 MattBlackEmerid:  I cursed loudly and profanely.
 MattBlackEmerid:  And why the hell, in The Batman, does EVERY VILLIAN KNOW SOME SORT OF MARTIAL ARTS?
 MattBlackEmerid:  The Joker was never MEANT to be a hand-to-hand guy!
 MattBlackEmerid:  The Penguin? Not some midget Bruce Lee, dammit.
Other Person:  -.-;
 MattBlackEmerid:  ....I'm boring you, I apologize.
 MattBlackEmerid:  I should write up a rant and post it somewhere.
Other Person:  lol
 MattBlackEmerid:  It's not even the fact they used to show blood and bullet firing guns....It's....there's no STORY.
 MattBlackEmerid:  There's no FEELING for the characters.
 MattBlackEmerid:  When Enzo gets his eye gouged out, You FELT for him! Why? Well you never expected it for one, and you sure as hell know HE didn't!
 Other Person:  yeah
 MattBlackEmerid:  When Matrix Vs. Megabyte, you could FEEL the rage just POURING from Matrix, the anger! You sympathized cause this guy tore away everything Matrix loved and STOMPED it to the ground!
 MattBlackEmerid:  And you HATED the villians! You HATED Megabyte for just pounding the place to crap and tearing off Fong's head...and STICKING it in aJAR!
 MattBlackEmerid:  That was another "Holy shit!" moment for me.
 Other Person signed off at 9:25 PM

And it's all true!

Well, Reboot does rock...

I thank my English teacher, Ms. Yukari, for fostering my superior debatorial acumen.

[Merla]

Emmy, can you give us the cliffnotes version?  

[Wickedly Yours E]

I talk about how awesome Reboot, Batman:TAS, and Gargoyles is freaking awesome and ten hundred times better than any cartoon on today.

[Rama]

Well I agree on Batman:TAS, but I was never big on Reboot or Gargoyles.  

[Chopper Face 69]

Reboot season 3 sucked my ass.

[Wickedly Yours E]

Were those the "Straight to DVD" Daemon ones? I always get my seasons mixed up.

[The D]

tl;dr

Soccer moms, Japan, and whoever/whatever company that sets the standards for the shows.

What's wrong with Japan, at least their shit has guns, blood, and people dying.

[Chopper Face 69]

No. And the "straight to DVD ones" actually aired on TV long before coming out of DVD. Those being the "Daemon Rising" (with the worst French accent in the history of television) and "My Two Bobs".

Season 3 was Enzo getting old and retarded and Bob getting grey hair.

[Max Con]

The only bad episodes of Reboot were before it got dark and serious.


Basically everything before that virus burst through Hexadecimal's mirror.

[Wickedly Yours E]

Fuck you! Enzo getting his eye gouged out was FREAKING AWESOME.

[Wickedly Yours E]

tl;dr

Yeah but when it comes to America they gut it in one way or another. I can count on one hand the anime's I like that can match, to me, the quality of Batman:TAS, Reboot, Etc.

[Rodent of Unusual Size]

Reboot was a great show, although I liked it better before the Enzo = badass parts.  But AndrAIa's hotness really helped.

[Merla]

Okay I finally read that whole thing and the other person didn't have much to say did he now.    

[B E C K]

For some reason, I'm reminded of an episode of Talespin I watched recently.  The bad guys had guns.  Guns.  Considering I haven't seen that show in about ten years more or less, I was thrilled as shit.  Nobody gets guns anymore.  Why laser guns?  It's not like lasers are any better.  In fact, I would say a laser is far more dangerous than a regular gun.  And some stupid kid could get daddy's gun, pretend it's a laser gun, and shoot off his best friend's ass anyway.

Since Yugioh! has been deemed crappy by almost everyone here, you all probably missed the best edit ever.  This duder has a gun and shoots Yugi's grandpa, but instead, it became a sling shot!  And so this sling shot just rises on the screen in a similar fashion to Toonces the driving cat's paw.  And then they add these Looney Tunes sound effects of the rubber band being drawn back and the projectile firing.  It doesn't make a bad guy look very threatening when he's been reduced to Dennis the fucking Menace.

[Wickedly Yours E]

Thus, why I hate modern Cartoons.

[Chopper Face 69]

I feel the exact opposite.

[Max Con]

Have at you!
