    ....without Robot Chicken, College Humor, and Rick & Morty all doing the same joke of Captain Planet going full eco-terrorist.

    Pic. They totally went with the cartoon/action figure color scheme with all the little costume jewelry bits of the action figure.
    Very Madball-ish design.

    Tch, that's what made it "un-marketable"?
    It doesn't go after healthcare any harder than "Breaking Bad".

    Good point, but that hadn't happened when the chickenshit big studios made the "un-marketable" excuse.

    Holy shit! This is a gory trailer. Funny as fuck, but gory.

    Hmmm. Very graphic violence in the trailer, but I think we're all pretty de-sensitized to it.

    The original--which I haven't seen since it was new(ish)--was very transgressive, truly offensive and sadistic in places. In a good way. :diacanu: I'm not sure a 2025 commercial film can re-capture that.

    But it looks well-made.

    The one directed by Bobcat Goldthwait.
    Always forget that one.

    Just rewatched that one recently.

    The movie theater scene aged well.
