Marvel Enterprises' second quarter financial statement provides new updates such as that the Spider-Man 2 DVD will be available in November 2004, that there is a X-Men 3 in the cards and that you can expect an animated Blade series soon on MTV. Here's some interesting pieces from the statement...


Woohoo! I'd love to see a crossover with the Spidey cartoon. Possible with Morbius.....

[Brodie]

God no..... The character is bad enough, let alone have some Puff Daddy-P. Diddy dickwad do the voice.

Just imagine it:

Blade: "I'm a vampirizzle, Gotta bite ya, fo shizzle."

What the **** does that mean?!

[Voltron]

That new spidey "cartoon" should be burned. I saw it once and it was possibly the worst thing I ever saw. I hate cell-shading, and why the hell isn't Peter Parker a nerd? Since when did he become this suave lover boy?
If blade is cel-shaded, then I'm gonna kill people. Though it still sounds nice....

I feel totally the opposite....If anything it will probably be the movie universe, and that is far better then the comics. And they'll try to get Wesley Snipes to do the voice.

This is going to be bad ass. Peter Parker isn't permanently a geek. Sure he's always smart, but he doesn't stay as nerdy as he was in the movie. The Peter in the cartoon is a lot more like the comic version that I'm the most familiar with. And I'm sure they'll cast Blade wisely, they've done an excellent job so far with Spider-Man.

I love the new Spidey toon to death, so I KNOW I'll like this new Blade toon.

BTW, I missed the last ep of Spidey. Does anyone know when they're gonna repeat it?

[Pepzi]

Bonus, Blade in his own cartoon :) :)

[Dr. Doom]

I think that spidey show on MTV is total crap. Basically, it's something you'd expect them to put on MTV. The animation blows, the character designs are retarded, that damned rave music is terrible,and everyone's all hip and cool and carries fancy cell phones and mp3 players..............bah. Like I said, just what you'd expect from MTV. I'm sure Blade will be a million times worse. "This week, Lil Bow Wow guest stars as Blade's sassy but lovable nephew in the episode entitled "Homies 4 life"".

But that sounds so hip and cool.

I love the Blade Movies and the idea of a TV show makes me a bit uneasy. But I've looked through the artical a few times but I haven't seen a mention of how the show will be done. Maybe I missed it, but there didn't seem to be any mention of 3D or Mainframe, so the idea of a Spider-man cross over may be premature

[Raven]

never been a big blade fan, but i do like the spiderman cartoon on mtv, so mabey if its done like spideys show, i might like it, but probably not.

[Karpo_007]

I do love Balde movies, but Balde and MTV? Please no... Except if it's made diffrent people than the new Spider-Man. Why I don't like it? Firstly, the backround music is terrible, begining with the theme. Actors really can't get into the characters, or haven't done voice acting before. All in all, the show is bad for ears.

Animation looks to much like Cubix or Max steele, but the battle scenes are impressive[If you use the mute button]. But the worst thing is the writing. It's way to rushed, dialogue is pretty bad for this high profile cartoon, and it just doesn't feel like Spider-Man. Writing might be one of the reasons why the actors doesn't sound that good.

I have read Spider-Man for over 12 years now, and Liked the movie, but after seeing 3 episodes of this cartoon, I had enough. Blade being on MTV scares me, especially if it's made or written by the same people that do Spider-Man.

[Shellfox]

I really object to evryone saying the animation in spider-man is bad. I'll grant you its mainframes finest works but its still pretty damn good. Look at action man, mainframe has made huge leaps from that to spider-man. Look at beast wars, now Mainframe makes it so the people really do seem to be walking on the ground. Yes in most ways visually its a far cry from the beasts, War planets, and reboot buts its still a very well done show. Yes their humans aren't that good (look at high way 35), but humans are hard compared to creatures. Yes the show has poor points the visuals aren't part of them. They've even thrown in the chacters from the other shows (chetors beast mode is in the background of the second ep).

But the animation is nothing like Max Steele, they over do the chacters and generally have horrible animation (not to mention unlike mainframes skill full intigation of old modes, the Steele company blatently reuses old modes with little change, watch rough neck- star shiptroops are count how many charter desighns are also in Steele)


But I won't dicount blade as a write off yet, MTV has shown many shows I enjoy, mostly Celb. Death match

I totally agree with you. The animation isn't bad, it's different.

[Mars-Chan]

:lol: I LOVE CELEB DEATHMATCH!!! The one with BSB and *Nsync... classic!!!!!!!! :evilgrin:

[cqb101]

I love it too. Is it even still on?

[Mars-Chan]

*shrugs and mutters "I dunno*

[cqb101]

Oh well. Atleast Jackass, and the osbournes are still on.

[That Matt Guy]

Someone actually liked Celebrity Death Match? I thought it was funny the first few times, but man talk about overkill.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Has the CD video game came out yet????

Never said the animation is bad, I said the battles look impressive. Still I have seen many much better looking CGI shows. It isn't the animation what makes the show bad. And I won't be judging Balde before I see few episodes, but if it's made by the same people as Spider-Man, I fear it won't be good.

[cqb101]

Heres some new info:

Lions Gate's CineGroupe animation partner generated library revenues of $0.4 million, while no new episodes were delivered in the quarter. The Company is still on track to deliver 67 half-hours of programming for fiscal 2004 from a variety of sources, including the provocative CG-driven series "Tripping the Rift," to be delivered to the Sci-Fi Channel in December, the Britney Spears live-action series for ABC Family in the fall, additional episodes of "What's with Andy?" and "Pig City," to be delivered to Teletoon, as well as the release of the animated feature film "Pinocchio 3000." In addition, CineGroupe is in development with Marvel Entertainment on the animated series "Blade" for MTV, based on the blockbuster film franchise.

[Brodie]

To me, Blade is just like The Matrix: A bunch of crap-tacular flicks lending more to show off the ****** SFX, than with a story.

"Ok, ok, we really don't need this, but let's make Blade jump off a damn building and kill these two biker thugs."
"Yeah! But....What about the vampire stuff that the stupid comic was babbling about?"
"Pfffffft, **** the comic, this is a movie. We'll give one of them those plastic fangs."
"Great idea!"

[Dr. Doom]

I'm gonna hafta agree on this one, the show is quite crappy in my opinion.

[Karpo_007]

Agreed. If I had to think one thing that is good about it, It's the battle scenes. Otherwise it's just pain to watch.

[Shellfox]

Spider-man might not be so painful to watching if they, you know did a little something like say....... SHOW THEM IN ORDER!!!!!!! How hard is that?! But for the most part you know where I stand on the show it has a few good moments, like last weeks Kingpin, that was al alarounf good ep
