I'm Not Messing Around, I'm Doing Important Stuff in The Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread - Part 61

[Lily Adler]

I haven’t watched Ronin Warriors IN SO long. Glad they’re giving Samurai Troopers a sequel.

This reminds me that I really need to start Lazarus.

Looked it up it's on Tubi apparently.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

It was on Toonami wasn't it? Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z as well?

It was on Toonami at some point but I saw it in syndication on a regular station years before.

Ronin Warriors first aired on American television during the summer of 1995 and subsequently appeared through syndication, as well as the USA Network (1995), the Sci-Fi Channel (1996) and later on Cartoon Network (1999).

USA did anime before Monk and Law & Order?

I think that 2023 shows that yes, you can have too many superhero movies.

But, I'm happy. A random cartoon I watched in the 90s is getting a sequel. My first real intro to evil Ranger teams.

Used to love this show. Had a few of the toys as well.

You are SOO YOUNG.



USA Network is how I fell in love with Sailor Moon.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Simple, the demographics have shifted. The MCU is not bringing in the younger audiences like it once did. And there are other factors. I don't think Feige ever really considered the result of having an "ending", and didn't know how to build back interest.

Same thing happened to WWE once the Attitude Era ended.

Steve Austin retires and The Rock becomes a movie star. Both are gone. Tony Stark dies and Steve Rogers retires. Both are gone. In both cases, no new stars are made to replace them.

New stars are attempted. There is also an attempt to take b-players and elevate them to main characther status. In both cases, those attempts don't work.

In both cases, fans become disinchanted with the companies and their way of doing things, and goodwill turns into bad. People lose interest.

WWE brings in Goldberg, Scott Steiner, and the NWO, all from WCW, and revive ECW, all to bring the nostalga. Marvel brings back the FOX X-Men for a couple of movies and the other two Spider-Mans for No Way Home to do big box office, and keep things afloat. In both case, the comon narrative from fans is that Marvel/WWE can't create new stars anymore.

The paralals are striking.

Ronin Warriors was my jam. Everything on Toonami was. Tenchi gave me unhealthy expectations for a love life.

I never watched it, but weren't all those warrior chicks in love with him or something LOL

5000 year old smoking hot demon lady? Yep.

800 year old space princess? Yeppers.

Crazy 10000 year old goddess scientist? Duh.

Ditzy blonde cop? Of course.

And that's just the first two seasons of the original OVA.

Oh and he had a lightsaber!

Ahhh the Toonami memories are flooding back, specifically from those five. I also remember watching a lot of Full Metal Alchemist. Such peak television on Cartoon Network in my high school years.

 

[Lily Adler]

InuYasha felt like the anime that would never end... And now we have One Piece.

Quick question were stoners the main demo for Skittles and Starbursts?

 

[Sithborg]

It was on Toonami wasn't it? Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z as well?

It was syndicated on normal broadcast television, then on Syfy's old anime block, then Toonami.

Look, USA Network before the blue sky shows was really ****ing weird.

I vividly remember *in theaters* thinking damn that extra is doing too much, it’s impossible to miss

Berries and Cream and the Happy Peanut Song from Snickers are GOATed commercial songs.

I don't think I noticed at first but once you see it you can never not look at it again anytime you watch the movie. It's like the stormtrooper hitting his head on the door frame in Star Wars.

That's my son Jason!

 

[Kane52630]

One day she'll be a real actor and not the girl from 50 Shades and Madame Web.

She's hot and she's funny. She doesn't need to know how to act.

Bad Times in the El Royale
A Bigger Splash
Suspiria
The Peanut Butter Falcon
Our Friend
Cha Cha Real Smooth
The Lost Daughter
Am I OK?

I swear, if she doesn't get cast as Wonder Woman I'm gonna launch my phone into the stratosphere.
