I’m sure that’s part of it, but really TMNT and UY are the last survivors of the black-and-white funny animal comics boom of the 1980s. And the two most successful, albeit in very different ways — TMNT became a huge international media property with toys and cartoons and movies and the creators didn’t even have time…

I was all set to correct you and say that Usagi Yojimbo is the title of the comic and Miyamoto Usagi is the name of the character, but come to think of it I’m pretty sure his name *was* “Usagi Yojimbo” on the original TMNT cartoon series.

What’s with the scare quotes?

That’s not true at all.  Carter issued a blanket pardon for all Vietnam draft dodgers.  George HW Bush pardoned the Iran-Contra conspirators, including Caspar Weinberger, who hadn’t gone to trial yet.

It’s not RICO. It’s never RICO.

Maybe CW good use another TV show based on a DC comic. They’ve only got six.

...I’m...pretty sure “show gets cancelled; somebody else picks up source material shortly after and adapts it as a completely different TV show” is not generally the way things work.

Left unspoken amidst all the curses and blasphemy is the degree to which the Disney-Fox merger is affecting all of these cancelations.

Or he’d be happy his family is getting paid? I never met the guy; I don’t know what he’d think.

Well, I guess he’s “lucky” insofar as he’s successful enough to dictate the terms of how the work that he created and owns can be adapted, and he found a studio and network that agreed to those terms rather than choose not to adapt the book at all.

Bryan Hitch was the artist on The Ultimates. Mark Millar was the writer.

“noting that Gaiman—who was heavily involved in the show’s development—would be taking on a more traditional showrunner role.”

Let’s not cheer this editor on as some great teller of truth. He was doing his job, and his job was to figure out how to present nazism in a way that would be palatable and convincing to the buying audience.

PeteIRL has not been keeping up on gorilla research.

That’s not what people said when they edited the Twin Towers out of Spider-Man.

Nothing has been erased. All the extant copies of the show containing Louis CK’s performance are still there. In the Internet age, nothing ever really disappears; if you want to find a copy of the old version, it won’t take much searching.

Yes. His name was Cringer.

The same reason Democrats in Texas and Republicans in New York and California vote now, I guess.

Hordak was cool. The rest of the Horde not as much. Mantenna at least had a cool toy.
