VILLAINOUSNew updates on the show's status: Alan posted a sneak peek of Heed's book, and more importantly, it looks like we really might be getting the second half of season one soon.
>>153028762Just recently, in a Cartoon Network Latin America post about the return of Regular Show, Alan commented something like, "And when is 'Villainous' coming back?"To which the CN account replied, "Please ask nicely and we'll pass your request on to the boss."Days later, they gave us this video:https://x.com/AlanIturiel/status/2038788683201913334?s=20
>>153028823and If you pause during the static images, you can see numbers that form a date.
>>153028762>>153028823>>153028856it really needs global release.
>>153028762Where's my Heed figurine?
>>153029196Damn, I completely forgot about that.
>>153028823Didn't he go indie though? How would them releasing the eps work now?
>>153029256I have a theory that Alan managed to get Cartoon Network to release the remaining episodes of the first season, and that since these episodes belonged to Cartoon Network and featured his characters, they had to be distributed by the network.The question that remains is whether Alan will continue to maintain a relationship with Warner Bros. after this, or if they will go their separate ways completely once they are no longer involved.
>>153029298Do you think they edited out the Cartoon Network characters?
>>153028762Finally. I can't believe how god damn long everything takes these days. It's been what, ten years since the pilot? I still had hair back then, and my back worked.
Villainous bros we're so back!
>>153029390I don't think it's necessary since, in theory, these episodes will be distributed by the same network. If they then make more episodes on their own, I think they'll use parodies and references.
>>153028762Sexooooooo.
Huh neat
>>153029460Still, would it be possible to remake the show without them?
>>153029767>Still, would it be possible to remake the show without them?I doubt it's necessary; I mean, they would just need to continue the story from where they already were, just without them.
>>153029801I say they should edit them out, just in case.
>>153029824Maybe it's enough to pixelate the characters of the warder as long as they don't interfere directly in a scene
>>153030022How about cropping?
Wonder how this will end up working with the indie bit and having to revamp previous books because of the warner mess
how important is this Heed person to the story? when i first learnt about Villainous i mainly saw the black hat guy, the paper bag guy, and Demencia, but now I see Heed a lot more
>>153031622Black Hat is more like an eldritch god is in a lovecraft story as of right now where he is more in the background and a "dont fuck with this thing" entity.Heed is the big character for the current arc of the story and is majorly tied to Flug as well as other major factions
>>153031645thnx
>>153032407>Don't upload my art to other sites.>Anon still uploads it.Those are the kind of bad boys you risk running into on 4chan.
>>153032462You can't create such great art and just expect it to disappear into nothingness; art must be shared.
>>153028762>the second half of season one soon.huh?Spotted this from the catalog.I haven't been keeping up with the threads since the original shorts. I've been waiting for episodes to be released, built up and translated. Is there seriously not even a completed first season yet?
>>153032510You can blame Warner and David Zaslav
I have a confession to make, fellow villanos. I got into this a few years back thanks to the shorts, but I sorta stopped caring as production seemed to move too slow. Now, there's merchandise, waifu wars, and a fucking franchise? I'm confused. Where do I start if I wanna get back into this?
>>153028856This show has had the most bizarre production schedule in historyKudos to Alan for fighting for it so hard.
>>153032407>>153032462I don't think people who post that on their art understand how the internet works
>>153032761Well, if you've already seen the first episodes released on HBO Max, the only thing you need to catch up is to read the Risky Heist comic, which is where the plot advances the most since the last time. There's also the Reduced Rescue comic, which tells the story of Sunblast's journey to rescue Penumbra from Miss Heed, but it's more of an optional story that you can check out if you're interested in the characters.
>>153029298>>153029376The show is already cancelled, he probably convinced CN to release the remaining episodes so he can follow up the series with the indie Youtube show, if that's the case I'm fine with it even if he can't use the CN characters anymore Remember he has full ownership of the original characters created for Villanos and that's why all the newer merch only has "copyright Alan" without Cartoon Network or CN anywhere on it, so he can basically do wathever he wants as long as he doesn't use CN characters and has money, kinda like how the creator of Ed,Edd 'n Eddy has full ownership of the characters and that's why we never got a reboot or revival and Fortnite had to beg him to use his characters and in the end he only allowed Ed to be used
>>153028762>it looks like we really might be getting the second half of season one soon.Im not going to care about it until the ep is playing on my screen.
>>153032761>>153033007For some reason, the site keeps marking my links as spam, so here's a text document with the English translations of "Risky Heist" and "Reduced Rescue."https://files.catbox.moe/c3uewq.txtIf anyone knows of a storytime that compiles the entire Mawrie and Ellie comic, please share it. It was incredibly tedious searching for the chapter translations one by one.https://files.catbox.moe/c3uewq.txt
>>153028762>It looks like we really might be getting the second half of season one soonNice. Wonder if it means we'll get the Illuminarrow series soon too
>>153028762Based
>>153033096Illuminarrow sexo
>>153028762I wonder what toon so long for the Heed book. I know they needed to take out CN stuff but there’s no where it was only some visual adjustments that needed to be made. Maybe they had to rewrite to line up better with the new spin-off show?
>>153033096>>153034252For me it's G-Lo
>>153034284Probably to align with the spin-off and now whatever is going on with the second half of the CN season if that does indeed end up being released.
>>153028762>>153033096I think Cartoon Network just wants to drop the season they have been sitting on for over 4 years now and be done with it so Alan can stop talking shit about them on his streams and sending them messages so he can move on with his indie projects Cartoon Network Latam went down the shitter more than a decade ago, now they have the same 4 shows on loop all day every single day, they heavily censor everything they ever air to a ridiculous degree (in fact the new Gumball season is censored in both Cartoon Network LatAm and HBO Max), the only animation channel owned by Turner in Latam that has no censorship whatsoever is Adult Swim which is also performing better in ratings than Cartoon Network itself according to the CEO during his Chilemonos interview (Adult Swim latam keeps getting new shows and bumpers every month while CN Latam gets nothing)I always thought Villanos was a better fit for Adult Swim than Cartoon Network so I dunno why they aired the second season there instead of hoarding it
>>153032863This is what happens when a studio realizes they accidentally let the creator keep merchandising rights on something interesting.
>>153034322Based >>153034407Thanks to Adult Swim Latam I have the DanDanDan opening stuck on my head, too bad the manga sucks now >>153034421Only other CN show where the creator got to keep the full rights to the characters that I can think of is Ed,Edd 'n Eddy it is more common in Japan where most mangakas get to keep the rights to their characters unless the project is anime original
>>153034322I get that reference, based
>>153034322Hope she gets more screentime
>>153033096That artist is based
any malu is hotter
Amy Heed requests? Just her
>>153035545Heed forced to wear her own paper bag ala Flug
>>153035545nice to see you, Bill.Request Miss Heed surprised to realize she has an nip slip
>>153034322Same.
>>153035650
>>153028762>>153028856Finally.>>153029092The existing episodes are still in HBO Max in the US, I'd assume they would do the same for the second half (and hopefully it'll be simultaneous this time around since they've had fucking years to figure it out).
>>153035863
>>153035863Hot
>>153028856inb4 it's a nothingburger
>>153033096>>153034407Will we ever get a recut of the first season without the CN characters?
>>153033096>>153034702>>153035142
>>153038637i dont think so
>>153032761If you dig into the archives there were some storytimes of the BHO book, the CYOA book, and that Flug book
>>153038743I think they should.
>>153028762Jesus, this show's had more starts and stops than an LA traffic jam
>>153041278Why? I mean, what's the point? The events of the series will remain canon after they end their relationship with Cartoon Network. The presence of character cameos doesn't affect or benefit us in any way.
>>153042452Aside from the anime reference, I have a headcanon that she has a kind for roleplaying as a schoolgirl.
>>153041438It has affected the show.
>>153043223Interesting.
>>153042452Cute
I'll believe it when I see it
