Merzbow Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Do you think the 2011 reboot of Thundercats would have done much better if it was released today instead? I adored it at the time, thought they did a stellar job and improved on the original by quite a bit. I just feel like there's more of an audience for it ten years later ona streaming service.

BrodyGraham Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 It used to be on Amazon Prime, way back when. But yeah, it was excellent as was the early 00's He-Man cartoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I've been looking forward to Revelations since it was announced as I'm a huge MOTU fan, particularly the original series and the trailer looks fantastic. We should see some form of first look at Dreamwork's own version of MOTU soon enough as well as the action figure images for that are already online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a lot of the old school violent anime tropes, like lots of Ninja Scroll and makes a pretty decent show out of them. Thanks for the heads up. Ninja Scroll is a favourite of mine so I've just given the first 3 eps of Yasuke a watch. Love it so far. The first episode took me a while to warm up to it but I'm thoroughly hooked on it now. I've not given any of the Netflix animes a go other than Castlevania is there anything else that would appeal to an old school Manga Entertainment fan?

Dreamworks owns the licences for everything now except Toys (Mattel) and Film (Sony). Despite Mattel creating Masters of the Universe, they sold the IP and through acquisitions is now owned by Universal (after they purchased Dreamworks). Mattel get first dibs on making toys until 2023 when those rights also go to Universal, so, now there are 3 He-Man toylines coming out this year and 2 shows, it seems Mattel are trying to make the most of it while they still can. It is odd how both Netflix and Dreamworks are making 2 separate shows and both will be for Netflix as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression it was from Mattel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's possible it is Mattel as they have created a toyline (similar to the original deal with Filmnation), but Dreamworks holds far more rights then Mattel overall. It also explains why last time I went to Universal, there was a meet and greet with She-Ra. Likewise, it could be, as Netflix have bought both shows, they asked for them to Universal and they passed this on to Powerhouse via Mattel. Basically, the whole ownership of He-Man is currently mad (until 2023). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parasyte if it's still on there, a modern anime but based on a great 80's/90's manga. Very much in that old school violent style. Oh and Devilman: Crybaby. It's the perfect modern follow up/retelling to the classic bloody OVA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely checkout Devilman: Crybaby the original OVA's are ace. Parasyte is still on there so that's on the watch list now too. I've just finished Yasuke in one sitting. Couldn't help myself. It's an easy watch. If I had a minor issue it would be I'd have liked more detailed shading in the character designs but it's still well animated, directed and paced. He's a cracking character. Any idea if they are doing a second season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I'd be very surprised if a second season isn't greenlit, it's had great critical acclaim and did really well in their ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 11, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2021 Watching a Toy Galaxy about Cadillacs & Dinosaurs (one of Capcom's best beat em ups, but that's for another thread) and I happened across this Youtube channel. Some interesting stuff on there, including the live action show with Mr T as a detective which somehow ran for 5 seasons. Presumably they didn't want to incur his wrath by cancelling it, because they're not crazy fools.

That Toy Galaxy episode was great. I had no idea about the original comic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BigJag Posted June 15, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2021 The soundtrack from the recent Netflix tease. Over footage from the Dolf Lundgdren MOTU film. Not sure it quite works. I remember watching this at the Cinema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I know the original didn't have the greatest animation ever but rebooting it with this decades old looking CGI is a bit shit. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
