Toon Zone Talkback - Arnold Schwarzenegger Developing "Governator" with Stan Lee

I dont know what to say.

I can't help thinking that this series is intended to have some political undertones given that Arnold and Stan Lee tend to share a lot of similar political views. Stan Lee has been very good about keeping his political views out of the public and most importantly out of his works and things he's contributed with.

So I guess the question is: Is Stan Lee going to continue his history of not making a spectical of his political views? Is he going to use this opportunity as one final hoopla to finally speak out with undertones at his old age? Does Arnold have an agenda or is he just ridding the joke wave?

Find out on the next Governator! Same Governor channel, same governor time!

(Sorry, for that last part, I couldn't resist. It sounded so much like a Stan Lee monologue!)
 
Teen sidekicks? Pulp Fiction music?
Oh, just give it up Stan. I'm not interested in seeing you make new characters.

Cripes, why am I just not interested in an Arnie cartoon where he's fighting robots? It would have been fun a few years ago, not so much to me now.
 
This could be really good or really bad. I'm going to give this a shot, if only for Arnold's and Stan Lee's name. After all, I kind of enjoy Stan's newest ideas, like his BOOM! Studios superheroes.
 
I was expecting a Mike Haggar-like fictional depiction of Arnold going around town beating up punks, but an actual superhero with high tech power suits and kiddy sidekicks?

Might just be crazy enough to work. I doubt it'll be as violent as his old movies were. i just hope it makes for good mindless entertainment at least.
 
Woah I actually thought this was a joke. Because when Entertainment Weekly had it as their man article talking about a superhero cartoon starring Arnold Schwarengger, where he steps down as a governor to become a superhero, with a teenage sidekick, multile super suits, and a rouges gallery with the acrnoym of G.I.R.L.I.E Men, and that Stan Lee was helping create it, I was like "okay this is a good April Fools Prank. Yeah they must of cleared it with Stan and Arnold saying that they could make up something about them to print that week and people would be wondering how could soemthing like that exisit" and thought it was a good joke.

And then I saw the trailer.

Yeah no one's spending that kind of money nowadays to actually ANIMATE all of that and get Arnold's actual voice to say all that for a joke. Surprisingly it is real which just... blows my mind. I mean I can understand Stan liking the idea considering he tried turning Pamela Anderson into a Superhero, and then tried his hand at helping create a manga, but for Schwarengger and all these other people to be on board? It's just... baffling. And yet I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in actually watching the cartoon. Whether it's good or bad, you need to at least see the first full episode to confirm if it is truley real. Though I do wonder what network it's going to. Since it seems like a kids action cartoon I'm pretty sure this is going to either Cartoon Network or The Hub. I can't see Disney or Nickelodeon signing up for a Schwarengger series but I can see those other networks gunning for it and having a chance of getting it.
 
This looks like it will be the next Chuck Norris or Mr. T animated series. The Guy With The Glasses rants for this show should be epic.
 
So after rewatching this trailer and finding out we already have a game being produced based on this series I'm stuck wondering:

Who's going to premier this series?

There's only two places I can imagine it going: Toonzai (assuming it still exists in 2012) or DXD.

I do have to say this though: even though the concept feels like all kinds of weird, if you watch the video, the first part of it feels like the speach part is done very well. The fighting and transformation stages; not so much.

I'll have to say that depending how the series develops, it has potential.

It could go the way of Pro Stars or go the way of --- I don't know if there's a good series that compares. The nearest I can think is Captain Power (which only had limited success and obvious not an animation).

Execution will absolutely make or break this series.
