I'll admit, this seems to be something that I "DO NOT WANT", but I'll still give it the benefit of the doubt until I've actually seen it. I am afraid though, that this one's going to be another case of fail by Marathon - TS is really, if you look at it logically, the only hit they've had in the animation field. Is Marathon going to eventually be featured on some VH1 program like "One Hit Wonders:Where Are They Now?" 0.o
Well, Code Lyoko was also some what popular and probably still has a fanbase (not a fan though). I also think Martin Mystery was also a decent show, although slightly derivative of TS in some aspects. Later shows have definitely been full of fail. This one looks to be pretty failurific as well.

Ok, I'll give you (with some reservations) that Martin Mystery does have two or three fans, but Code Lyoko was not produced by Marathon - in fact it was produced by three different companies. This from Wiki:
Quote:
 
Code Lyoko is a French animated television series featuring both conventional animation and CGI. It premiered on September 3, 2003 on the France 3 network, and was produced by Antefilms during the first season, MoonScoop Group during the second and third season, and by Taffy Entertainment during the fourth season, all in association with the France 3 television network and Canal J. The series has been translated into various languages and is currently airing in over 80% of the world's countries. The show is licensed and distributed worldwide by Moonscoop in the past, today Taffy Entertainment.

Which means that Marathon still has a pretty crappy batting average so far...I guess what I'm really saying is that if they're any kind of smart, they'll get cracking on a sixth season of TS post haste!

Yeah, 'tis true. I don't think their pre-TS stuff has come close to the level of success that the series has had. And as awesome as Martin is, it didn't really take off like hotcakes. (but hey, that's part of its appeal with me :D) I'll gladly be one of those 3 fans if it means I get Diana to myself, lolz. XD

After knocking it out of the park with TS, how can they not derive from it? :p

Didn't they ruin all hope of a sixth season with "Totally Dunzo"? I mean, didn't it end with them resigning as spies or something?

Ok, my bad. I thought I remembered seeing the Marathon logo before or after that show. Must've been my imagination. :sweat:

ASAIK, there has never been a TS comic that is completely original. I know there's been comic adaptations of the show (I have a "The OP" one tjiki sent me). Martin however, IS based on a comic.

The comics have exremely cute art, at least. Laura's banner features it quite nicely. Still I think they should do an original comic book at some point. I would be in fanboy heaven for sure. lol

True that. B) But then Marathon will be like, "But we have AMAZIN SPIEZ LOLOLOLOL that's comic-book style! Even BETTER!!1!" ...and we get that instead of a TS comic that could be epic and good. <_<
They made a comic series (or rather, several) of Sonic that's been going since I was 7. They can make one for TS.

However, I think the comics that we know of publish in some sort of TS based mag over in Europe. (or they did) I'm seeing something that looks like that on Amazon.fr that I might 'port to see what it is, and if anything good, look into the other ones.
When I go back into that Amazon page, I'll linkee here.

I would so watch a VH1 or E! countdown special that included works by Marathon or even a theme based on cartoons/anime :wacko: .

Which reminds me, I was channel surfing, and when I passed E!, they were doing one of those countdown specials, and I thought they stole a single BGM from Lupin the 3rd. It could've been my imagination in that it was actually public domain stock music, but I could have sworn that it must have been heavily influenced by Yuji Ohno :blink: . (BTW, it was "Top 25 Hollywood Cougar Tales." Of course, Spin New Yasha with such a weird attraction to that kind of thing would remember that XD .)

Went back and found one of such books here. I think it's in the same niche as the Totally Gags book that's up at WOOHP. There are a few others there that I'm considering ringing in...for the fact that it's TS merch and to see just what the hell it is.

And if it has any decent shots of them in swim wear like the cover promises, make sure to do scans for us. :lmao:

Lol, you didn't have to tell me. :wink: Thing is though, scanning it requires figuring out how to get my home scanner to play nice with my computer.

Getting this shouldn't be a problem, I just have to wait until next Friday to order though, as my funds are a little low and I've already bought enough shit for this paycheck. :sweat: But if I order next week, I can go down to dad's for a bit and by the time I come back they theoretically should be here.
