| Topic | What was the best Filmation cartoon? |
| Zeus 07/18/20 3:11:45 AM #20: | Metalsonic66 posted... Rewatched the 2003 (2002?) version with my brother a year or two ago. The voice acting and animation hold up. The character names and designs though... Mekaneck, Man-E-Faces, Clawful... lol Never really got around to watching the 2000s one, but it was a professional production by that point. By contrast, Filmation (and vintage Hannah-Barbera as well) went super-sloppy at times. Plus a lot of VA-work at the time was just done by family members of staffers so, when it sounded like they hadn't ever acted before, in some cases they hadn't >_> The thing about the 2000s version afaik is that it went with a more serious presentation, so the names and designs -- which they could have got away with in a campier show -- were always going to clash, considering that half of them related to toy gimmicks. I'm still surprised that we never got a self-aware, comedic reboot of the series around the same time as the new She-Ra. dainkinkaide posted... Yeah, those were all holdouts from the original series, which also included such luminaries as Sy-Klone, Stinkor, Roboto, Evil-Lyn, Two Bad, Snout Spout, Scare Glow, and Fisto. roflmao, frigging Two-Bad. They went absolutely nuts with a lot of the characters. Some of them they could get away with, though. For example, Sy-Klone really just a funky spelling. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
