Hey, I liked Swat Kats. If you're Gen X, Swat Kats is post puberty, so every heterosexual male who watched it probably had some furry fantasies over the reporter.

Shit dude, Swat Kats is probably how some members our generation discovered they had furry fantasies in the first place!

That reporter is what we in the biz call a "gate-way furry". Oh, she's just from his favorite kids show! It's all right for little Billy to have a fictional crush. 20 years later he's dressing up as Winnie the Pooh and appearing on an episode of A thousand ways to die. I HOPE YOUR HAPPY CHEETARAH!

I know a couple homosexual males who had the same fantasies over the swat kats themselves. Namely the bigger one.

As for me? I was never really a fan of the show.

Now... Gargoyles, on the other hand...

...dear christ, someone needs to make sure the rights to Gargoyles aren't available to people like Bay.

The Gargs are the wholly owned intellectual property of Disney. So the good news is they're probably safe from Michael Bay. The bad news is they're safe from everyone else too.

Incidentally, Rob Paulsen is coming back for the new cartoon, only as Donatello instead of Raphael. So speaking of Furries and things starring Rob Paulsen:


EDIT: I was just reading up on the IDW series that's running now. It changed the origins quite a bit, in a way that made them much more film friendly. But no. Michael Bay's making them aliens. Grrrrrrr. Comic creators are trying to help you film industry (seriously, at least half of the new 52 over at DC seem to have been written with "but how do we make this a screenplay" in mind)., don't make your jobs harder than they need to be.

not at all, but for some reason nerds love slobbering over them. I think it has something to do with either the sheer amount of cartoons nerds watch, or some sort of "misunderstood, overlooked" thing internet nerds cling to so desperately.

And then there are just fans, obviously. But it's still funny as fuck.

Much like jocks slobber all over Sports players?

Or under-sexed housewives slobber all over Twilight actors?

Or how general public idiots slobber all over people like the K.Kardashian?

Everyone has their vices Juski, don't know why you don't "get it" or "find it funny".

Well there's also that whole "they're actually fairly appreciative of and accessible to their fanbase". That might have something to do with it.

I'm guessing historical confluence. American nerd culture has always been more accepting of adults watching cartoons of any kind than other American sub-cultures, so we respect the people who make them.

If cartoons about football players had become a successful sub-culture, sports fans would probably know who the voice actors were.



Okay, possibly bad example, but you know what I mean.

I find it absolutely fascinating how much nerds love voice actors.

Hey, just because I point something out as absurd or funny doesn't mean that there's something wrong with it. But if you want me to be elitist and condescending about it to give you some proper indignation, by all means, we totally can go that route, too.

That's the same problem I have. Just because I say I don't like something doesn't mean I care if you do. Knock yourself out. Hell, convince me that I should like it. I'd be all for that.

I mean, not really. You just told me that some people like X, other people like Y, which I was aware of. But anyway, the real villain here is Michael Bay, who gets a very special kind of rich people boner, which is the type of boner you get when you have all the money to play with the best toys and you can play with them any way you want. Like make them aliens.

...this is probably the best way to describe Michael Bay. I can no longer see him as an adult now, just some kid with a lot of money. Same with Lucas, who I wish died before he could make the prequels.
