Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

wasn't their reasoning for Titan being canned was that CN couldn't merchandise it or something? I know they had some lame excuse but I forget specifically what it was.
all I know is being unable to merchandise a monster of the week show with giant robots should be nigh-impossible
Not merchandise it?
Are they blind to the toy possibilities of this show?
Of course, CN is a very one track mind network. And that mind is usually on their biggest hit. A few years ago everything was about Chowder and Flapjack, now everythings about Adventure time (plus there were those sad attempts at live action shows awhile ago, are they even still on?). Show like this just get run over by the big dogs.
They had some lame excuse because it was an attempt to be nice. Titan as a show simply wasn't profitable for how much it cost, especially when you realise it got beaten regularly in whatever ratings we got by things way cheaper to produce. It changing timeslots around three times didn't help either.
...Space Jam?

The 24th of Nevertember, sadly enough.
Sure, we say that Gennedy could do some fantastic stuff if he just left Cartoon Network and did stuff on his own, but the first time he did that we got the Astroboy movie. By most accounts that flick was pretty damn meh.
Isnt it over? Wasnt 'a hero returns' the final episode? pretty sure that was number 20.
*sigh*. well they didnt wrap up the gallaluna story but at least they didnt end with a cliffhanger an octus in an unknown state.
Can't be done. Every respectable active basketball player has at least 3 crazy tatoos on their arms.
True story: for years, WB execs kicked around the idea of doing Space Jam again, only with a different sport.
That sport? NASCAR.
I think there was also a pro wrestling-based Loony Tunes idea for a while.
Now they can do a crossover with Disney's Cars.
Space Slam.
Space Slam obviously.
e: DAMMIT
...except Genndy didn't make that movie? as far as I can tell, he worked on it for a little while, but left to work on the Dark Crystal sequel (which also hasn't happened yet)
What about a soccer version? It would probably bomb in the states but make gobs of money internationally.
Hm, a quick scan of IMDB shows you're right. That explains why the movie was pretty eh.
Actually, unless IMDB has some holes in it, Gennedy apparently couldn't get ANY project off the ground between Korgoth of Barbaria in 2006 and Titan in 2011. Now that's depressing.
Actually any mention of Korgoth and its horribly short life is pretty fucking depressing.
Who what when where why how?
Also: CN is showing Ben 10, the original. The one with the Kevin's first appearance.
Lord going back to this after AF/UA is like some weird retcon feeling. Kevin's design is rather... awkward. Like they worked backwards to make "Kid Kevin" from "Teenage Kevin" or something.

Siiiiigh.

Yes, and most assuredly so.
It is one of the few shows I look forward to every week, This season is shaping up so nicely and I really like the direction it is going. It is also refreshing to see characters actually IN a relationship and not having it be an odd thing.
Delphin Twitch Stream:
Yes but they're also doing a movie
Grovy's back, I'm happy but somewhat having conflicting feelings about it.
Two 26 episodes seasons (one done, the other ongoing), a movie in 2014, and a few specials here and there (the Nox special for season 1, and next one has three hour long specials, including the Ogrest special coming this easter). And that's with all the Mini-Wakfu shorts and the assortment of comics set in the universe.
