I dunno...I’m a fan of the original MMPR, but this just feels kinda cringe to me. Like the “New Adventures” of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.

I know Oda himself is attached to this project, but I’m highly skeptical. Pretty sure this is gonna go the way of live-action Bebop.

I honestly agree with you, but I’m a bit nervous. A quick wiki-walk shows that Mercury’s head writer wrote Code Geass. Sure, that show is good, but it involves more high-school stuff than I’d like from a Gundam series.

*Update: Did some research and see that Soldier Boy wasn’t hibernating for 80 years (the Seven on 7 webseries says he was in the in-universe film Red Thunder in 1983). Still, that chamber he emerges from in the trailer does suggest he was (involuntarily) “put to sleep” for a significant amount of time. So, maybe less…

Ok, so Soldier Boy will pull a Captain America and revive after some 80-ish years in deep freeze. Looks like the Boys want to make him their “secret weapon,” since SB will likely be pissed at Vought for putting him on ice.

But can it beat Key & Peele’s dark send-up of Family Matters Behind-The-Scenes?

That latter theory has merit from what I can see. The “Loki variant stealing reset-bombs” angle sounds similar to the events of “The Once and Future Thing” storyline from <i> Justice League Unlimited </i>, particularly the climax.

I think there’s some merit to the latter theory here. The “Loki variant is stealing reset-bombs” angle puts me in mind of “The Once and Future Thing” storyline from Justice League Unlimited, particularly the climax.

Disney...you realize the direction this is going, right?

...So a less exaggerated version of Invader Zim that ups the banality of life while toning down the bleakness?

Re: that last paragraph - maybe it’d be a buddy flick?
