Cartoon/Western Animation General

Actually, I’m glad Smith isn’t touching that. That one was cool.

@Cyborg_pony  
I find it weird how the upcoming show is being hyped up as a continuation of the original,while that’s what literally all the previous shows have been.  
The original MotU didn’t have a conclusion,but there was She-ra that featured the MotU cast returning. The live action movie could easily fit in the timeline anywhere after the cartoon. The New Adventures directly follows the original,though with several aesthetic changes. The 2002 series actually goes into the origins of alot of elements,but mainly is set after Adam is He-man. There are little changes, but nothing too far out.  
The Netflix She-ra is the only true reboot from the ground up so it’s easy enough to ignore.  
I wonder if Revelation will become the new black sheep,supplanting New Adventures.

@Dex Stewart  
They keep waffling on what it is. It’s a sequel, a continuation, a spiritual successor - and given how much they’re changing for zero reasons and it’s just a stand-alone 10 episodes I heard. It’ll probably leave a sour taste in people’s mouths for a while since they couldn’t be upfront about anything because of Kevin’s ego and Hollywood ass-kissing.

@Cyborg_pony  
No matter how it turns out I’m very curious how Jason Mewes will do Stinkor’s voice.

@northern haste  
Turns out that’s not why they become realistic.

Okay, here’s my question though. The first Space Jam, it was NBA and Looney Tunes. That’s it. This one, they’ve got a whole Kingdom Hearts, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Marvel Infinity War thing going on. So, like, why the Looney Tunes? You got Liu Kang, Neo, and friggin’ Darkseid to choose from, I’m thinking you don’t need to bet everything on Foghorn Leghorn’s mid-range jumper.
 
Is Space Jam 1 canon and they’re the only WB characters who know how to ball?

@Background Human
 
Except that several Mortal Kombat characters (Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Reptile) are all pro-level basketball players thanks to being part of NBA Jam: Tournament Edition.
 
And I’m certain noone can successfully guard against the Iron Giant.

I’m in the theater about to see Space Jam.

@Dex Stewart  
Have fun!

Space Jam A New Legacy was better than I expected.  
 
Ralph got race swapped. Just kidding. I think.  
the setup is really long. I don’t like that Lola Bunny was recast. I loved the Michael B.Jordan cameo. The goin squad don’t have much personality.  
It’s leagues better than Ready Player One.

@Background Human
 
The Tunes weren’t Lebron’s first choice for recruitment. He wanted to get Iron Giant, Trinity, Superman, King Kong (I believe?), and etc for the Game against AL G. But Bugs pointed out, they wouldn’t be able to get them all.
 
Case in point, trying to get Superman from DC World was a disaster.

@Salamenace  
Why don’t these movies seem to understand that the Iron Giant was not a fighting machine?

@TheHappySpaceman  
A general lack of respect?

@TheHappySpaceman  
Iron Giant didn’t even do any fighting in this movie though.
 
He didn’t even do any basketball.
 
All he really done was share a fistbump with Godzilla and watch the match and that was it lol

@TheHappySpaceman  

 
What makes you think LeBron wanted the Giant to destroy the court? He just wanted someone op on his team.
 
@ichiban iceychan 1517  
Exactly! He doesn’t even destroy anything

I mean the Iron Giant would be down for a game of b-ball.

@Salamenace
 
@Dustcan  
Yeah there is a big difference between wanting the giant to destroy/kill people and using him to help shoot some hoops

Still not sure if Ready Player One’s use of Iron Giant is fitting though. The directors do respect the source material, and I can see him fighting For Great Justice ^TM, but eh. I’m just not sure if Iron Giant’s message of “violence is bad” has enough wiggle room for “justified force” or such.

@Dustcan  
Aren’t they just like player avatars in Player One though?
 
So it’s not the “Real” Giant, just someone pretending to be them?
 
 
Been a while since I saw the movie do I might have gotten things wrong

@ichiban iceychan 1517
 
Yes. I forget if the system has NPCs, but most of them are player characters.
 
But still.

@Dustcan  
I mean is it really that different from someone modding a game about giant robots to replace the model of one of them with the Iron Giant?

@ichiban iceychan 1517
 
There’s a few billions of dollar and 10s of millions in zeitgeist-crafting audience in difference, yes.

@Dustcan  
ok

@Dustcan  
Aparently they used the iron giant because nobody at the knew who owned ultra man at the time
