Movieline just posted a three-minute video clip of Arnold Schwartzenegger’s Stan-Lee-produced cartoon, The Governator. It’s like the Mr.T cartoon mixed with M.A.S.K. Only suckier:
Who is this for? It’s clearly not for kids (young cartoon-watchers never like adorable kid sidekicks), it’s not for adults, and I’m not sure they even show these kinds of cartoons on TV anymore. This whole project seems poised to dominate 1986’s pop culture landscape*. Is The Governator some sort of a huge tax write-off? What am I missing?
* The new Thundercats trailer makes slightly more sense; at least it appeals to nostalgic fans of the original Thundercats cartoon. (Although they’d better get Panthro in there somehow; his absence from the trailer upsets me way more than it probably should. He was always my favorite.)
They took away Cheetara’s awesome 80s hair 🙁
That can’t…
I don’t…
My brain…
I…
Milk…
I will watch this.
Logic problem: If you could create robots that sophisticated, why would you go afer armoure cars? I mean, how much does making a robot like that cost? WAAAAY more than an armored car carries…seems like a ne loss to me.
And Stan Lee got paid more money than God to give his “new characters” to Disney. I guess this is one of them?
How could Panthro not be anyone’s favorite? He had nunchucks with claws!
He was pulling the clutch but a throttle sound occurred.
