I thought they were kinda cool. And they got away with shit you couldn't do with U.S. cartoons at the time (Brits had more balls). And while they inspired Team America World Police and some obscure MTV parody show back in the '90s, in Japan they inspired Gundam, Star Fox, and Evangelion.
>>154142070Seeing thunderbird 2, in Nadie secret of blue water was such a trip, which ironically is exactly what it was in the story too.I haven't watch much of it, but what I've seen is pretty fun. A little slow paced but in a good way.
And the gals aren't too bad eitherI would do things to Lady Penelope....
>>154142070>Soldier in the space >Goodbye >Never forget my love
Marina is not too bad either.
I wonder why Terrahawks isn't on MeTVToons. Production/licensing rights maybe?Also we need more /34/ of the ladies from any of these shows. Thunderbolt Fantasy has more r-18
>>154142070I love them, the shitty remakes were CGI instead of using modern robotics to make ultramarionation. Completely soulless.
>>154142157https://rule34.paheal.net/post/list/Thunderbirds/1https://rule34.paheal.net/post/list/captain_scarlet_and_the_mysterons/1https://rule34.paheal.net/post/list/Stingray_%28TV_Series%29/1Painfully niche
>>154142070I still can't figure out why Thunderbirds never got picked up by American networks despite being deliberately built to appeal to them.
The music from that episode with the nuke in the car still haunts me to this dayHell most of the music does, those end credit sequences were morbidIt's certainly one way to teach kids that bad things do happen offscreen
I really liked Stingray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45NtEXv7DZsThe whole series is up on youtube https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLhOnau-tupS8r8aVq7Mn488u6_HAsHyx&si=GQfGh6vCdSzo_N2E
>>154142299It's too bad it never got a proper conclusion. Most of these never did.
>>154142070Uncanny and creepy.
>>154142786I don't mind that much, the show is very episodic so I don't mind it not getting a resolution in that sense. Would have loved to get the toys as a kid, those submarines look so cool. Play with it in the bathtub!
>>154142898At least make a comic with the blessing with Anderson estate where the Stingray find a way to break that stupid curse affecting Marina and her people.
>>154142158They still used some miniatures in the cgi remake of Thunderbirds. The first season was actually very good.
Krazy Krow's old webcomic Krakow had one of his characters have a wet dream about rescuing Lady Penelope.
Bump
If Thunderbird 2 wasn't your favorite Thunderbird we cannot be friends.
Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bump
>>154145356I'd bum them alright.
>>154142070Team America is what the 2004 Thunderbirds movie should’ve been.
>>154146123All they had to do was not be FUCKING SPY KIDS
>>154142070Captain Scarlet is cool as hell.
>>154142070Thunderbolt Fantasy proves that we never should have abandoned the medium and kept pushing it forward for the last few decades.
>>154146577>special ability, dying.…wut?
>>154146181Unfortunately that was.the trend at the time.
>>154147775The guy dies in the first episode and more or less gets either to become unkillable, he can die for a brief time, but he always come back to life within minutes.
SG1 I want you to check out this Mysteron threat and if possible destroy it, dismissed
>>154148142well strictly speaking the original captain scarlet dies for good in the first episode and the rest of the series is his alien clone
>>154148330Yes, but I could swear they said they tranfered his conscious to the Mysteron version, but that would make it more of a philosophical question wherever it's him or not
>>154142070Don't the Chinese or Taiwanese also do super puppet shows that were inspired by the thunderbirds? Or am i hallucinating?
>>154145356Fuck the sixties really were the sexiest decade
>>154148678Whats this from?>>154148707>Not the 70s
>>154145356Modern /co/ would despise The Angels.
>>154148399It's that the Mysteron copies are perfect. They perfectly copied the original Captain Scarlet and their control over the copy ended when he revived after being shot and falling off the tower.
>>154148707Sexiest>>154148800Most pornographic
>>154148912>>154145356Surprised no one made fanart of the Mysterons using the Angels as breeding stock similar to this :https://rule34.paheal.net/post/list/captain_scarlet_and_the_mysterons/1Cloning can only go so far and diminishing returns are real.
The Joe90 theme bops
>>154143822Mine was The Mole_____
The reason why Gerry Anderson fizzled out during the late 80s though he brief comeback with Space Precinct (look for a young Idris Elba!): Mary Fecking Whitehouse
>>154148678Yeah, Pili from Taiwan.
>>154142070the shows are awesomeI like the Thunderbirds are Go roboot and wish the other shows could something like that
>>154151886Need true dedicated fans for remake or spiritual successor to happen
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvi7bEw4BtM&t=235s&pp=2AHrAZACAQ%3D%3D
>>154151886There's a CGI Captain Scarlet reboot made in 2004 that is pretty alright in terms of writing and choreography, though the more realistic art style does not hold up with the model quality of the time. Anderson was directly involved in production and probably pushed for the CGI use in the first place because he always aimed to be at the forefront of technology. He only used puppets because it was cheaper to make props at 1/10 scale than to deal with full-size sets for human actors.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veJD6jityiM
THIS IS THE POST OF THE MYSTERONSWE KNOW YOU CAN READ THIS EARTH MEN
>super mario nationNINTENDO! SUE THIS MAN!
>>154145356Makes me wonder why anyone hasn't tried to make a cutesy marionette show with simplistic cartoony/anime faces. I'm sure people would love that. Pic related is the closest I could find, but I'm sure someone could make em cuter.
>>154149361Because it is too old and has no fan artist scene. You probably can find fanfiction about that.
>>154157574Even Betty Boop gets an occasional 34 now and then and she's far older
>>154142070False advertising, Super Mario isn't in it at all.
>>154158218Because she is alway mentioned in popculture. Drawn Together and all those burlesque and retro-cosplayer keep mentioning her.The Angels are not mentioned anymore, even not by british popculture people.
>>154156876Too expensive. Thats why you have less puppet shows in general.
I watched Captain Scarlet for the first time via Tubi and Jesus fucking christ is a it dark!It's impressive how well Gerry and his crew were able to do what they did with such limited tech back in the day. And the model ships and such still look great Personally my favorite show of his is Space Precinct 2040, purely due to how utterly bonkers it is
>page 10https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KiHLZEwUqE
>>154158719From Paris, Iowa, London, Atlanta and Tokyo. Why do they have two from the US?
When I was in kindergarten there was a local tv station that played reruns of Rocket Ship XL5 after school on tv and I remember being totally in too it. And it was in black and white too and I didn’t like to watch black and white movies.
>>154158719>Too expensiveMAybe if you wanna make things explode like in Thunderbirds, otherwise no
>>154161440If things aren't exploding why even bother?
>>154158274..........
>>154161082Yoooou may have escaped archiving eaaaarthmen, but weee wiiiill retuuuuurn

How has no toy company made Thunderbird Megazord yet? You'd think some japanese company would have tried for the novelty of it.
>>154161082The first version of Captain Scarlet ending theme with minimal lyrics is amazing.
>>154142106That looks rad
>>154142070The only one of his shows I ever really watched was Scarlet and I still watch it to this day. It's also cool seeing his influence acknowledged by groups like Pili and OG toku creators
>>154161440The biggest costs come with the props and backgrounds. When you just use three to 5 different locations for a whole 8 episode season, ok, it isnt expensive anymore.
>>154156876
>>154165770
>>154142070I love this parody.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oMi_Hv3Sws>This is terrible!
>>154164133Indeed
>>154164133desu I really like the lyrics version as well>THEY CRASH HIM, AND HIS BODY MAY BUUUUURN>THEY SMASH HIM, BUT THEY KNOW HE'LL RETURN…TO LIVE AGAIN
>>154165011Its honestly not very good. The pacing is so so so slow.
>>154167259I mean so was Thunderbirds
>>154157574You lack initiative
>>154142090Japan fucking loved Thunderbirds and all his other shows so much it can't be overstated enough.
Japanese are absolutely obsessed with Gerry Anderson slop. It's insane in how much Japanese stuff it shows up in or influenced.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45NtEXv7DZsSTAND BY FOR ACTION
>>154168665An entire Sentai series, Go-Go-5, was built to be their answer to Thunderbirds. Five siblings under the command of their father pilot specialist high-tech vehicles on rescue operations, taking full advantage of high-quality miniature effects.Oh and also they fight actual demons along the way, because it's a Sentai series and they gotta punch something.This series would be adapted in the west as Power Ranges: Lightspeed Rescue, which I honestly think is one of their higher-effort affairs.
https://youtu.be/5cZfKD8A1d4?is=AdvjiHDVstoQOru8Barry Gray dun gud
>>154142210It was, but you won't like the results.
>>154167270Nah the pacing is even worse then thunderbirds. It feels salvageable too but the editing really sucks. Scenes go on for too long and nothing happens for whole episodes. Its just really bad.
How come Captain Scarlet isn't as known/rememberd as Thunderbirds?
>>154171435Probably because Captain Scarlet wasn't as focused on cool machinery like Thunderbirds was; the Thunderbirds vehicles are inherently toyetic and broadly appealing, whereas human action figures by themselves are a harder sell for a smaller audience. It's ultimately the merch that dictates staying power for longer.
>>154169338I really should have this as my phone's alarm but I feel I'd need a bed that lifts up and sends me down a chute.>>154168761>slopYou take that back.
Super Mario Nation
We need more fanart of Gerry's shows. The Gundam and Eva stuff you all take for granted wouldn't exist without them
>>154173092>Gundam wouldn't exist without Gerrys showsDoubt.jpg
>>154171435>>154171560Thats a good question. Toys are both on the same level.
>>154173948
>>154173965>>154173948Honestly as a Captain Scarlet fan, I'd say Thunderbirds had much better toys, or rather vehicle designs. Like Thunderbird 2 might just be the most perfect thing ever, and it's just a jet with a box in the middle that comes out.
>>154173144No, he's 100% right, the Super Robot and toku traditions which eventually led to the vague idea of a "real robot" have a direct and traceable lineage to Anderson's work. As others have also said ITT Japanese loved (and arguably still love) Anderson's stuff and you can see its touch literally everywhere in relevant toku or mecha media.>t. Gundamfag
I have to say, it must be really annoying when the kaiju alarm goes off and you've gone to the shops for milk.
>>154174014some zoomer weebs like to pretend Japanese creators have never been influenced by their love of overseas works and series despite their own statements to the contrary
>>154174066Why?
>>154173948>>154173965>>154174009It's giving kids a choice of:>a). Captain Scarlet's SPV (personnel carrier) with missile you're definitely gonna lose under the sofa or between the floorboards, or>b). Thunderbird 2 (cool jet) with swappable hangar modules containing Thunderbird 4, The Mole and Firefly mini toys.I know which one I'd rather have had as a kid, even though I thought Captain Scarlet was a way cooler premise.
>>154174199Praise for what they feel is absolute original idea, seated in a hate towards their place of origin. Tl;dr, they and some boomers and millennials too think Japan really is this paradise that anime mirrors somehow.It would be nice if we could go back to these aesthetics, but they were a product of their time. Still, fuck the modern used future, over greebel look.
This dopey looking fish is actually an eldritch dark god His name alone gives off warning signs
>>154174863Stingray going after Cthulhu would be something I'd like to see cool art of...
>>154175089A remake would have Teufel drop the fish act and go full Lovecraft with Marina and Atlanta as sacrificial offerings
>>154177078I'm telling my kids this is Speed Racer.
>>154177097That isnt that far away. Is Speed Racer made after 62?
>>154177140nta but Speed Racer is apparently '67
>>154177211I know that Japan loved Thunderbirds, maybe this inspired Speed Racer. The kid and his pet ape really makes it look like it got inspired.
>>154177297Ironically has one of the lowest r18/r34 materials
>>154177770Do i see a pattern here?
>>154178502Male centric shows have less porn?
>>154178502It's kind of a problem for most Showa anime from the 60s to early-mid 80s
