spawn cartoon is coming back

this news came from toonzone

*Dane E5R* · 01-08-2005, 06:06 PM

How long have they been sayin' this show was comin' back?

*Anarky* · 01-08-2005, 06:54 PM

There was a spawn cartoon? Why the hell do I miss things like that... must be because of damn, retarded, still-in-the-18th-century-Switzerland.

*ZariusTwo* · 01-08-2005, 08:13 PM

The cartoon consisted of six episodes for each season, three in total.

As for this news...I'll beelvie it when I see it, Mcfarlane said Spawn 2 was once shceduled for flipping 2000...

*DrSpengler* · 01-08-2005, 09:32 PM

One of my favorite animated shows, without a doubt. This qualifies as "old news", so I have my doubts that it'll ever happen. Last article was in May of 04.

Would I like to see it? Absolutely. It's the best version of Spawn ever made (far superior to even the comic, which I and 8 other people still read). Season 3 left with a big cliffhanger, I really want to see that resolved.

Last I heard McFarlane wouldn't be going back to Madhouse Studios in Japan, which is a real shame, as their animation was beautiful.

But as long as they get back all the voice actors (Kieth David is the MAN!) I'll ba happy.

Assuming this actually happens, of course.

i didn't know the show was made in japan.

The animation was.

Just to let you know, nearly no American cartoon is animated in America anymore. Most animation is done by Korean studios, and depending on the budget, Japanese studios.

Back in the 80's, when Japanese studios were cheaper I suppose, nearly ALL cartoons were animated over there.

McFarlane was recently screwed over in court about the use of former NHL player Tony Twist's name. He's pretty much bankrupt now. So a Spawn 2 or a new Spawn cartoon is pretty darn far off from being made.

Friggin' hockey...

Or he might have them made to try and get back a little cash. The Spawn comics are still going, so he'll get his royalties from those. And Image is hardly going bankrupt any time soon.

Year old news but still music to my ears. I cant wait to see season 4

Yeah, whatever. Nevermind the fact that both men, McFarlane and Twist, were Canadian born and are both hardcore hockey fans. Thanks for the useless post.

Old news. ANd now that McFarlane has declared bankruptcy, It'll probably be put on hold.

That post was directed towards you my friend.

Its just a name though. I mean I could have made that name up and not even known it was someone elses thats so stupid that he got sued for that. That would be like some guy named John River sueing a guy for naming someone that in a movie. Utterly stupid

The world is full of stupid people.

It is ridiculous, but McFarlane based his character Antonio "Tony Twist" Twistelli on Twist's actual name because he's a hockey fan. The whole situation is even more ridiculous since the case seemed to be more based on McFarlane's use of the name rather than using the name itself. Twist didn't like the fact that his name was being used for a mafia boss responsible for murders, money launderings, and rapings. Then the fact of McFarlane using Twist's name without consent.

The whole thing is stupid. I'd like to have my name mentioned as a major character in a McFarlane book, hero or villain. Todd's done that with alot of people he knows. Even Peter David, a well-known comic book writer, and Jim Byrne, a well-known artist in the industry, who could have raised a stink but didn't. Tony Twist is the only person who complained. The main reason why is most likely because of McFarlane's money.

*Anarky* · 01-10-2005, 11:33 AM

JameO, KROW, please drop that silly argument. Some love hockey, some liek football and some like to be in the Swiss association of homosexual witchdoctors (that association really exists... seriously).

*KROW* · 01-10-2005, 11:55 AM

The reason why I said, "Friggin' hockey..." was not directed at hockey fans in general. The reason I said it was strictly on-topic. Here's how:

McFarlane's affinity for the sport of hockey has landed him in deep water twice. The first instant is of course the situation with McFarlane and former NHL player, Tony Twist. The second is concerning the Spawn movie. Anyone who has seen it will know that actor D.B. Sweeny is in the role of Terry Fitzgerald, Spawn's best friend and now married to his widowed wife. Now, anyone who reads the comic or watches the cartoon knows that Terry is black. D.B. Sweeny is white. Now, that aside, Sweeny is a good actor. However, he didn't fit the role of Terry well. One of the main reasons why he was casted in the first place was because Sweeny is also a big hockey fan and spent many a night conversing with McFarlane about the sport. The character of Terry Fitzgerald didn't sit too well with Spawn fans. Most of them wanted Terry to be black like in the book. But, Todd's fascination with hockey led to Sweeny's part in the film.

*Anarky* · 01-10-2005, 12:10 PM

I said drop it. I assumed that you had reasons for posting what you did. But if that explanation had come just after the "friggin' hockey"-part, then you might have been able to avoid pissing off JameO.

And now, please drop it!
