21 years ago today, ‘Megas XLR’ premiered on Cartoon Network.Say something nice about it.
>>150495830It remains one of the greatest cartoons of the 21st century. Top ten atleast. I hope Pyronoski can wrest the rights back before Warner sells to Paramount. I heard various rumors about crypto guys buying the show but nothing really came from that.
>>150495830I do miss it everydayIt was a super fun show Do wish though that they didn't make Jamie such an ass though
>>150495830Genuinely too intelligent and self-aware for the Y7 market, but never would've worked as a TV14 show. The limiters its rating forced it to have just made it better.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYLxrNjLNFg
>Shrek 2 is 21 years old>the first Spider Man movie is 23 years old>Ben 10 is 20 years old>Frozen is 11 years oldWhere does the time go?
>>150495830We will never get a show this good ever again and that fact depresses me to no end. Also, it sucks that nobody's yet made any merchandise for it beyond the CN store statuette.
>>150495889What does any of that have to do with Megas XLR?
I have literally just started watching this show for the first time. only just got through the first 2 episodes with the Bruce Campbell Modok. I like it so far.
Having Toonami VA vets play characters against type was such a smart thing to do.
>>150495830Being caught up in tax limbo means modern writers can't ruin it. Silver lining baby.
>>150495830YOU!DIG!GIANT ROBOTS!
This show was too good for this world, it didn't deserve it.
>>150495830I watched Downtown a few weeks back, I can see the shared DNA.
>>150498076Buddhism master
>>150495830Love it. Still watch it occasionally. The first meeting with the S-Force guys still cracks me up.>"You said Zorp!">"LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO THE S-FORCE, INSULT TO INJURY!>"That's just MEAN.">"I may not be the best guy, but I SURE ain't no bad guy."Also when Coop puts the Gorilla Zorp on Megas' leg, my fuckin' sides.
Megas XLR reboot was greenlit and then canceled
>>150495830Department of Megas Violations. Those twelve seconds of Coop dreaming of crushing the DMV speaks for all of us.
>>150498138How Coop ruined the S-Force in its entirety is what made me laugh the most. Being a fat slob works when you're living in New Jersey and nobody gives a fuck what happens to Trenton-Princeton. It doesn't work when there's a galaxy counting on you.

>>150498138Also in that episode, the matter-antimatter rift opening right above Museum of Irreplaceable Art after the initial Omnicron 13 beam was fired. Also>Conveniently Placed Oil Refinery
>Missiles!>More Missiles!!>ALL THE MISSILES!!!
>>150498320>>150498365This is probably my favorite gag in the entire series.
>>150498368
>>150498368Yeah, Megas XLR had a lot of fun and makes jokes like this work. Any time an MTV logo appears, it gets destroyed>signboard>satellite>TV that happens to be on the channel>>150496127The BattleBots segment in the beginning was hilarious.>Brutal display of power?>They laugh as Megas pummels another robot
>>150498213He really let his future evil self shine for a little bit in that scene
>>150498663Nothing evil about it. It's what we all want to do to the DMV.
>>150498717desu the last few times I've been there have been fine.
>>150495830In retrospect is kind of cringe.
>>150495830It was ok. I wish they didn't make Kiva a feminist cunt.
I, for one, dig giant robots.
>>150499667It's super robots meets slacker comedyTake away the latter and you take away Megas' identity It's like Sym Bionic Titan is super robots meets John Hughes
>>150498169>it only took us 20 years to get out of debt>lets try this again>wtf the ceo of the company 40 billion in debt wont let us gamble millions of dollars on a reboot of a show that disastrously failed once alreadyCreative types need a boot on their throat at all times to keep them from doing stupid shit
>>150495830Main character was a fat fuck and ugly, so I hate it
>>150495909Megas being as old as it is just made me reflect on how old everything else has become>>150496156Jaime's the best example of that. I cant believe what a good job Blum did with this material.
>>150498169I'm going to be honest. I'm glad they canned the reboot. There's no way in hell they wouldnt have fucked it. Samurai Jack couldnt even make a proper comeback, what chances did Megas have?
>that lineupno wonder Megas won.

>>150500819Absolutely zero. What sci-fi or mecha anime could Megas parody in 2016? 2020? Today?
>>150499760Stfu
>>150500845Perfect crystalization of a minor annoyance.
>>150500350Stop looking at the screen.
>>150495830Why can't this show legally air again?
>>150500997Government owns the broadcast rights as part of a tax write offI think streaming is fine though
>>150500860Netflix Voltron
>>150501028>Megas XLR commits hate crime against brown and trans communities
Kino
>>150501035that'd be godtier
Reminder it's very likely there would have been a Jersey Shore parody had this series went on
