Teen Titans Replacement

Postby **ashfire** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 6:15 pm

The replacement if you have all seen the previews for Feb 4.
Wulin Warriors: marrionnettes doing kung-fu similar to Crouching Tigar, Hidden Dragon. This what I got from a website about the show.
Last time I seen a marrionnett TV show was Stingray, Supercar, Captain Scarlet and a real old one Fireball XL5
What does everyone else think about it.

I saw the commercial for it tonight and it looks absolutely ridiculous and cheesy. I can't imagine that this would possibly get higher ratings than Teen Titans has been.

Really?
I started to laugh my butt off at the idea of it!

Uhhh...puppets? I don't know about that. Who knows, though. I guess we'll all see, right.

Hopefully, it will knock Cartoon Network into their senses when this series bombs.

Bring back Thunderbirds!

Honestly, though, these networks are run by businesspeople, not artists. There's no room for sentimentalism, and if Teen Titans were still doing well ratings-wise, the exec who pulled the plug would be looking for a new job.

I suspect, like all other series, TT has Jumped the Shark and is now on its way into broadcast oblivion...

I forgot the Thunderbirds even thou all those shows were done by the same British company along with a few others that I have never got to see.
Acourse there was a marrionnett show that was done in Japan that was shown at the last Otakon that turned into a marathon showing all weekend.
I can't remember the name of it but it was some sort of space patrol type show.

And I thought they were crzy when Toonami put Hamtaro in their line-up.
THIS IS PATHETIC!
If this is a show with serious drama, I`m going to hurl.
Maybe if they made it look like anime like CN did for IGPX as opposed to puppets that should be on an Adult Swim commercial, the show could score.

I think it wouldn't be a cartoon. Although CN is showing non-Cartoon movies, now, for some strange reason.

Cartoon Network showing non-cartoons is like Comedy Central showing something that isn't funny. Oh, wait a minute...

Good one, Termyt. :lol:

Oh, they're serious about Wulin Warriors. If it was meant to be funny I think it might have a better chance of success. Perhaps they're aiming for the Power Rangers crowd or nostalgia thereof.

Perhaps their aiming at the same crowd that they did when they made the One Pice dub: Little kids that don`t know the plot difference between Star Wars and Spy Kids.

Yeah, Termyt, that was a good one.

I miss teen titans!! WWAAAAAAAAAAH!

ah well, good thing I work on Saturdays! ^_^ I don't have to witness this crazy stuff!

Say whatever happened to Thunderbirds?
When G4 was still Techtv they aired Thunderbirds originally before Anime Unleashed and then it went to Saturdays and now I suppose it has dropped out to that netherworld of where are they tv shows.
If they're replacing TT with a non-cartoon why can't it be the live version of Sailor Moon?Cheesey,probably,but probably a bit better than kung fu fighting marionettes.

I remember hearing that CN wants to focus on original properties rather than DC Comics properties. If this is the best 'original property' they can come up with...

That a little foolish on their part. DC has carried them perrty far

IGPX is good material.
I`m really hoping the series isn`t nearing it`s end already because plotwise it does look like it.

Postby **mitsuki lover** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 2:38 pm

I read where Wulin Warriors is part marionette and part CGI.I think it be ironic if they were going after the Power Rangers crowd(both young and old)since next month the latest incarnation of that franchise also premieres on Toon Disney:
Power Rangers Mystic Force.
