The new one looks like too much work was done on computers, and winds up kind of cartoony. Speaking of cartoons... really looking forward to the X-Men '97 cartoon on Disney+. As a kid and teenager I loved the X-Men, and I consider the period from the mid '80s to the late '90s to be peak X-Men. Things started going downhill around Onslaught, but I stuck it out for awhile (and I did enjoy a few stories like House of M), but X-Men and related books became basically unreadable to me since Messiah Complex.

Except for the cheek bones on Cyke being kinda goofy the original is FAR superior to the new one. I think the animation on the new show looks absolutely terrible too. 15 hours ago, Big s said: For me it was up til early 90’s.

I blame them for the downslide of the X-Men up to and including today. X-Men #1 and on there was zero plan and less and less real substance.

F-ZeroOne Posted Wednesday at 06:19 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:19 PM I realise I'm a touch biased, but it does sometimes feel like the European "G.I. Joe" comics - branded "Action Force" to start with, as the toyline was initially released under that title for some time here before the branding was unified - gets a little overlooked in discussions of the comics (the UK "Transformers" stories seem to be better known). I know they were released as the "European Missions" or something at least once. It'd probably be a complicated rights issue, but don't you want to see the time G.I. Jo... I mean, Action Force had to deal with Richard Branson dredging up Megatron from the Thames again? 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why it never dawned on me that people would change a franchise that was so overly American to fit their own culture. I mean I come from a Macross fandom and changes to fit another part of the world should have been expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-ZeroOne Posted Thursday at 05:56 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:56 PM The company that produced "Action Force", Palitoy, had a long history of doing just that. The 12" "G.I. Joe" figures had a longer life in the UK under the "Action Man" brand (and also partly, I suspect, because World War II history here is kind of like of trying to avoid footbal... excuse me, soccer here; no matter how much you may not like it, its inescapable pretty much all year round). "Action Force" was a spin off into the popular "Star Wars" smaller figure format (which Palitoy also adapted for the UK market, the two most famous examples probably being their version of the X-Wing and the Death Star), and then they started more directly bringing over Hasbro figures though with some changes (it seems to be generally regarded that the "Action Force" APC is a better toy than the "G.I. Joe" original). For further coverage of Palitoy , the "Analog Toys" YouTube channel has plenty of videos covering them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
