I laughed a bunch at the first episode of birdgirl, tho. Is not bad.

Is the humor similar to Harvey Birdman, or have they gone off in a new direction?

[Dunamisdeos]

Mmmmmm it's got that deadpan delivery on occasion, but it is different.

There were no hanna-barbara characters, which was weird. Not sure if I'll stick with it, but I did not hate it, and I laughed. Also, it was not comprised of woke memes. 7/10.

Pilot is on youtube.

Second episode was a move in the right direction imo...still a long way from Birdman:AAL, but maybe Birdgirl just needs some time to warm up.

[King Zultan]

The no Hanna Barbara characters is gonna be a weird thing to see, but at least it isn't a woke filled mess like some crap they put on air now days.

I really should watch the pilot soon.

Invincible Season 1 has concluded, and it was excellent.

From the comments of those who have read the comics, it sounds like it's going to get even better. Season 2 and 3 were announced just before the finale, so it may be awhile before they arrive. I'm very much looking forward to that time.

Pilot Episode
Episode 1: Murder Family
Episode 2: Loo Loo Land
Episode 3: Spring Broken
Episode 4: C.H.E.R.U.B
Episode 5: The Harvest Moon Festival

Rude, crude and funny, with plenty of black humor. But the opening song of Episode 2 got me good, it just went full Bowie and gave me all the feels. If you study the Ars Goetia from the Lesser Key of Solomon grimoire of demonology, Stolas is depicted in the ancient text as a long-legged owl whose domains are astronomy, herbs, plants, and precious stones. The easter eggs for his character in the animation version are littered through the series, and I just adore finding them hidden within the background. The creators gave him a lot of love.

Plus the animatronic murder-clown in Episode 2 is actually voice-acted by a broadway veteran, Alex Brightman, of Beetlejuice fame. It's God-tier animation, voice acting, and story and I'm quite certain this series is eventually gonna be snatched up and paywalled before long. Until then, I'm enjoying the episodes as they come out on the animator's channel.

Ep.5 has Norman Reedus in it.

I loved it, great show I think. No HB characters? That is unfortunate. I will miss Peter Potamus, Reducto and Mentok. I hope they hired the smiling bear back at least. *wrnnn* <- bear noise

I'd watch the rest but Comcast took away my cartoons, the villains.

Ha Ha! Monopolies.

EDIT: Finding a picture of Phil Ken Sebben to insert image here was surprisingly difficult. Maybe the various fanwikis have disabled hotlinking images to forums or whatever it's called? I didn't spend much time looking. I found one with him neck deep in a pool of money surrounded by bikini babes, and when that didn't work I quit looking, spirit broken.

This one?

Birdgirl season 1 concluded after an odd 6 episodes.
This show did improve a little towards the middle of the season, but came crashing back down towards the end.

Birdgirl is either too clever for me to understand, or it's a series of utterly nonsensical plot devices strung together with semi-comedic rhythm and lots of nostalgia. If it's the former, then I apologize, I guess I'm just not qualified to evaluate this show. If it's the latter, then this embarrassment of a spin-off needs to be denied renewal so it can go to wherever all the other failed spin-offs went to die.

Cartoon Network's Adult Swim has announced 3 new movies in the works, for Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Metalocalypse, and Venture Brothers!

I'm a bit 'meh' about ATHF. I found it to be a mildly amusing series early on, but far too cringe towards the end. And I honestly cannot imagine what value a movie could add to this entirely episodic series.

Metalocalypse and Venture Brother each had interesting stories which got cut short when the series were cancelled, and I'm very eager to see what they do with this opportunity to provide fans some closure!

Release date details expected soon!

[King Zultan]

I'm hyped for all of those, hopefully Venture Brothers and Metalocalypse will get an ending.



Also ATHF has already had a movie.

[Duuvian]

Aww darn, they cancelled the Venture Brothers? That was one of my favorites. Metalocololypse was too but that's been done for a while.

It's cool they are getting movies though to wrap them up, I'll watch them probably

I finished watching the first season of M.O.D.O.K.

It's made by the same team that did Supermansion, and has much the same feel. For reasons I don't quite understand, some people just don't appreciate this style of humor and storytelling. Personally I found both to be quite entertaining.

With two distinct antagonists, the season had lots of twists and turns, got really intense towards the end, and finished with a cliffhanger that left me eager for more. A second season has not yet been renewed, but with fairly positive reviews I am optimistic that we will someday learn where Modok goes next.

New Rick and Morty dropped. I didn't enjoy the new one as much as I had hoped, but they finally did something with Jessica!
