I'll be seeing Looney Tunes: Back in Action, because I love the Looney Tunes!! They're a good excuse to stay up late watching Cartoon Network. And my favorite Looney Tune is Bugs Bunny, by far. He's just so clever, ya gotta love him.
Now, another question to answer along with the Looney Toons question above: What is the worst super-hero themed cartoon you have ever seen?
I have a tape with a Captain America cartoon where the "animation" consists of still drawings that just kind of slide around, without the characters moving at all!! Their mouthes don't even move when they talk! It's quite possibly the cheapest thing I've ever seen. And the stories were horrible, too.
Haha! I know your pain hellboy. I've seen the Captain America cartoon. The Submariner one is bad too. They had a plot in submariner where Dr. Doom threw the X-men's building into space and Supmariner saved them...and Hawkeye was there for some reason...and some Nazis were talking on a truck quickly for one scene and then Captain America showed up...I've never been so confused...
Hmmm, that question is a toughie...ooh, ooh, I know! The new Spider-man, man that show sucks.
Survivor 2 Update!
Good news, all good news! First, we have seventeen players! While thats good, its also bad, we need one more to make the team system sumowrestler and I are ironing out work better, and let this thing run a little more smoothly. So, if any of you know someone who can play, throw them into the mix! Or better yet, there are still several people in this clan who haven't joined! All we need is one more people, we can do this! And, its time for a survivor sneak peek! Last time I gave an update, I was careful to keep everything about this close to my chest, only telling you it'd be space-themed, well, this season will be Thundercat themed! Yes, we'll be reporting from Planet Thunderia, where if you guys kept to Thundercats, you'll know, that mid-season we'll have a twist for ya guys, until later, I'm out.
Hey all, if you want in the second round of Survivor, let Nightcrawler know by tomorrow. Hopefully he can tell you when exactly. Last I knew we have 17 players so far. It is good but we still need at least one more person to make the team idea work. We can have up to three more since there are 20 spots officially. Once we get the players, the game will start early next week.
Hey everyone!! I got some time this weekend to browse a little online to keep a check up on what's happenening!
The new season of Survivor looks like it's gonna be awesome!! And there's 2 Smurfs?!?!?
I can't Smurfing believe it!!! Good luck and I hope it runs smoothly!
As the questions at hand:
I probably will see Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
Whoops. I saw it the first time, when it was called Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and the sequal: Space Jam.
I've got a feeling that this new movie is going to be pretty bad. Not only have the newer animators, plotters, writers, directors and voice actors (for the most part) not been able to capture the true essence of the Warner Bros. style like the older 'toons, but with today's growing worries about being Politically Correct "for the children's sake", classic characters like Porky Pig ("Oh no! They're making fun of obese people and stutterers!") and/or Speedy Gonzales ("Oh no! It's a Mexican mouse! That MUST be a racial sterotype!") can never be what they once were.
This also doesn't even touch on my feelings about how "children's" cartoons, such as LT: BiA, have waaaay too many adult references and jokes in them.
As for my favorite Looney Tunes character, there's so many great ones. Of the mainstream grouping, I'd have to go with Daffy Duck, if for Duck Amok alone. But then again, Taz is the most like myself. So I'll say a tie between those two.
Non-mainstream, I'll have to go with my mother's favorite character: Pete the Puma. That guy was hilarious!!! LOL!!!
On to the other subject! That being the worst Superhero cartoon out there.
This is my forte, so I'll be bringing the nastiness with this!
If we are talking Superheroes en masse, including those that aren't in comic books, I'll have to go with Hammerman.
Here's the premise: MC Hammer lives in his hometown of Oakland, when thugs attack!!! So he does what any baggy pantsed pop rapper would do: Turn into Hammerman, using his dancing and rapping as attacks on evil doers everwhere!!
But if we are talking strictly comic book superheroes, I have to disagree about Captain America being bad. We have to remember the time period that is came out in. Unless I'm mistaken, Captain America's first 'toon (along with the Incredible Hulk) came out in the early to mid 60's, when cartoons where just starting to hit their stride and trying new techniques. Personally, I think the idea of trying to make the cartoon as close to the comic as possible (most cels matched up identically with it's comic panel counter-part!) was a brilliant concept that just didn't catch on.
But it's hard to choose what's the worst of the bunch.
There's the new animated Spider-Man on MTV, which is based on the equally horrid movie. Ruining great comic characters and having them voiced by music's "hottest" artists can't be made better just by making the show 3D (with even more bad results).
And just to make you feel even more queesy: The Season 1 DVD drops January 20th!
Is that the worst? No.
What about Avengers: United They Stand? I would love to have been in THAT meeting!
"All the comic fans have been cheering for an Avengers 'toon. Let's give it to them!"
"Great idea. But let's remove Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. Those guys are just taking up space, y'know."
"I agree. Hmmm....these costumes don't look good enough. Let's put them in the 'near' future so we can update them."
"Awesome. Stamp it and start work!"
*Shudder*
But even that. That HAS to be the worst ever, right???
Nope.
I have to give that nod to Spider-Man Unlimited.
Premesis: John Jameson is an astronaut looking for "Counter-Earth", and finds it, but doesn't come back. Who else, but Spider-Man has to make his way to find him! Watch out Spidey, because the apparently skeletal Venom and Carnage symbiotes are going too!! And they are working together for no coherant reasoning!! But it's all good, you can just get a new, nano-techno suit (that looks and feels a whole heckuva lot like Batman Beyond) that will save you!! But more trouble comes when you find out in Counter-Earth that your ship is stolen and the world is taken over by the High Evolutionary! It looks good when you find John, but then the kicker happens: We has to stay and lead the underground rebel forces!
All this, and a big bucket of suck equal the worst superhero cartoon in history!!!

Rules:
1. For each question asked, PM me with your answer. After all participants PM me their answer all will be posted, and then 1 character will be booted off of Planet Thunderia (by PMing me with your choice)
2. People will be put onto teams for the first half, and you will vie to be the winning team, the losing team will have to vote someone off! Once were down to half the people, we’ll merge the two teams into one, and continue the contest, like the last season.
3. I, Puma-O, brother of the great Lion-O, and Tigera here will alternate between asking the questions, and everyone will have only 48 hrs, exactly 2 Earth days to answer it.
4. The rest should go down like last season, again, any questions PM Sumowrestler or I.
Now, for the sorting of the teams, basically, as you see it, every other person is on one of two teams (i.e. odd #’s are on team 1, and even #’s are on team 2.) the two teams by title are: Thunderian Tiger Clan and Thunderian Lion Clan. So check the list below, and see where you are!
Thunderian Tiger Clan:

The Questions will be posted individually, and everybody will PM their answers, where they will be posted for all to see. From there, one person will randomly be chosen from each team using this dice roller: Random Dice Roller, (We use a 10 sided dice, since there is only 9 people in each clan, a Ten will be treated as a re-roll, the dice-side-number will get progressively smaller till we are down to 8 people, where we will merge into one) they will PM me with a number between 1-10, where we will then again, use The Random Dice Roller to decide which of them was closer, who ever was closer's team will not have to vote someone off. YOU WILL NOT VOTE THEM OFF BECAUSE THEY CHOSE THE WRONG NUMBER!!! But by the PM message they sent. The losing team can only vote someone off from there team! Oh, remember to answer all questions in character!
Here is the first question to christen this new season!

7 people have gotten their replys in, 11 more to go, remember, only 2 days for the rest, I'm willing to be lenient this time around, but don't count on it next time.
Till later here's a topic for ya guys:
In real life, which cartoon character would you compare yourself to? Myself, definitely Jack Skellington from A Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm tall, lanky, skinny, always wear black, I'm a fun lovin dude, but come off dark and evil.
