Cartoon Network Embraces Live Action In 2010

GARRR... If only they got Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, then I would be happier as it goes to be passed to CN Philippines.

At least these live action shows don't sound as stupid as their previous attempt.

What was their previous attempt?

 

[Skyknight]

It's gonna suck.

Yes, because heaven forbid people take chances and watch things with any intelllgible objectivity

 

[Punk]

It's gonna suck. It's teenage wish fulfillment. It said so right in the article. For those of you who don't know

Teenage Wish Fulfillment- Whiny entitlement fantasy with shitty CGI

Star Wars isn't sucking, even if it isn't Live Action. A couple of those shows are actually action shows.

When they say the words "wish fulfillment", my idiot radar goes off because it tells me they're going to be insulting kids' intelligence yet again.

In development are "Crypto Tapes," "Hoops," "Advanced Placement," "Privateer," . Another project, "Necessary Evil," is based on the comic book series.

Other projects in development include "Prep," Dini's tale of teenagers at a mysterious school; an untitled project from Werb described as an urban adventure; the Eric Kaplan-penned "Rebels," about teenagers battling an alien invasion; "Jackers," written by Carleton Eastlake, about body-switching crime fighters; "Racer," from writer Sandy Isaac, about racing with a teen spin; "Wired," by Kira Snyder, about technology-enhanced teen agents; and Ethlie Ann Vare's "Redline," about a teenager with a high-tech vehicle. Also in the pipeline are "Marked Man" from Hans Beimler and "Countdown" from Edgar Lyall.

"They all fall under a sort of teenage-boy wish-fulfillment scenario," Sorcher said. "They're action dramas for the most part."

*drums fingers* do any of these premises actually sound like something people would watch and not shut off before their friends found out they were watching it

First thing they failed on was they have to many damn shows. Five is a decent number to test out with.

What was their previous attempt?

A canadian show called Zixx. Some of the worst CGI I've ever seen for a tv show. It was made with a damn game engine! I'm completely serious.

Then there's that crappy Out Of Jimmy's Head.

 

[DigDoug]

I've never even heard of the first one, probably a good thing, but I can recall Out of Jimmy's Head. I tried watching once because I needed to kill time before Transformers: Animated. I actually want that time I needed to kill back :shakefist

 

[Tanuki]

You know, I had almost completely managed to repress Zixx. **** you for bringing that back
