I however, was not marketed into liking this

marketing should be outlawed

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

Bubba Ho-Tep

Bubba Ho-Tep and fanfiction of Tanis from Ghoul School

sorry, not enough cute animals in this thread

Odradek · 2016-10-22 00:05:55

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

Skeleton Warriors looks like your hated X-Men

one time I went to the supermarket and I bought a frozen pizza because I saw an advertisement for it one time

Odradek · 2016-10-22 00:16:18

They both look like 90s garbage

Anonus · 2016-10-22 00:17:29

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

Also, re: Mummies Alive!:

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

X-Men was a wannabe toyetic show

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

Imipolex G · 2016-11-23 03:09:44

what if kids are still watching it post-2055? pfft, ha ha ha

Odradek · 2016-11-23 03:11:10

I think most of the kids who were marketed into liking it will be dead by then

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

Imipolex G · 2016-11-23 03:13:13

true

Odradek · 2016-11-23 03:14:16

Well X-Men is innately toyetic, so

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-11-23 03:15:51

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.

Imipolex G · 2016-11-23 03:16:57

all hail future piracy!

well hopefully they'll be able to watch them in a really good quality

ripped from official DVDs or something

Anonus · 2016-11-23 03:17:39

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

Imipolex G · 2016-11-23 03:19:38

or by then Disney has gone bankrupt.

Well, we can dream.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-11-23 03:21:04

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.

Imipolex G · 2016-11-23 03:25:54

also good.

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

Hexartes · 2016-11-23 05:33:58

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

You were marketed into liking this
