  Do people actually remember Mummies Alive!? I've seen it come up some but always assumed it wasn't very good because of its, um, pedigree

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  My dreams exceed my real life

  I just assume all of these shows are crap.

  
  

  I think Mummies Alive! has a slight edge over Skeleton Warriors because the protagonists are mummies, unlike Skeleton Warriors where the protagonists just fight skeletons and one of them has a skull face.

  
  

  Skeleton Warriors has the better theme though

  I'm always going to be depressed that Joe Ruby and Ken Spears are remembered more for pumping out mediocre cartoons than being Hanna-Barbera foley artists

  apparently Skeleton Warriors ran on CBS for one season in the early '90s, which explains why I had never heard of it

  i thought the complex, subtle plots thread was for X-Men, and this was for wannabe toyetic shows

  It just worked, because kids are dumb enough that they have to be told that 2055 is the future

  Well, what is your definition of "wannabe toyetic"?

  
  

  Because that X-Men show was based on an existing property, the shows in the OP weren't

  You joke, but it's likelier than Disney letting kids post-2055 see 101 or Pepper Ann

  By then piracy will likely be advanced to the point that The Mouse will be helpless to stop said kids from binge-watching those shows for free on Evil Socialist Wifi.

  or in 2054, Disney finally breaks down and licenses those shows to Netflix/a spiritual successor to it, and people download those copies

  Or copyright law starts to go under and suddenly Donald Duck is in the public domain and all those Tijuana Bibles are fair game for profitable hardback reprints.

  by then, Ike Perlmutter, Eric Ellenbogen, George Lucas, Jeffrey Katzenberg, or their respective descendants sit and count their money, thankful they flipped their valuable copyrights back when they were still in force

  My one input to this thread: Jim Sterling uses the theme to Skeleton Warriors as a cutaway when he's about to use the c word
