What does /co/ think of the Mask animated series?

I loved it as a kid, one of my favorites, but didn't really dig it when I tried a rewatch. I still love the movie, though.

>>149219853
Loved it as a kid I even memorized theall the deep lore in the cartoon who was WAY WAY WAY more advanced then the shit in the movie or the comics.

Now it really shows its age however I say it is still fun.

As kid I loved the absolute dark nature (more spoken by the music) of this cartoon. It was far more dark then anything on TV, including body horror.

As a grown up the darkness feels far less extreme then it did to my kid self! However the show has dark moments and motives.

Edge city literally feels like a insane place to live in insane in that dark 90s style.

The first version of the Latin American Spanish dub of the opening theme is legendary:

Fun to watch as a kid in the 90s. Right now is
barely watchable.

The show if watched uncensored (!!!) is really something a product of the dark 90s. Something impossible to recreate after the 90s.

The internet whould lose their shit if this was made today:

Edge city really feels like a insane dark comic book superhero city.
It is full of unhinged and crazy people.
Literally suicide bombing strippers (Pictured)
insane painters who want to blow up dynamite factories!

And these are the background villains !!!!
The main cast is practically all original characters (Yes Walter is from the comics calm our tits).

I think kablamus is the most peak insane comic book character of all times.
Have a look:

I can still hear him saying "Mr. Ip-KISS" God I love Tim Curry.

>>149221502
Pretorius and Walter where the most bland of the villains in the show.
Generic evil science man.

The clay monster is the real deal!

I used to watch it religiously a a kid but it's entire premise really shouldn't be geared toward children. A guy puts on a mask and completely loses all sense of self as he essentially introduces widespread ruin. Like, you'd think it'd be a perfect combination of random hijinks and meaningless slapstick like Beetlejuice but there was something a little darker about The Mask that on review I don't like that I gave so much attention to. Also I don't like the idea of a character sensationalizing smoking to children. I grew up and picked up a smoking habit and partly I have The Mask to attribute credit to that.

>>149221410
>Kablamus
OK, hearing Winnie the Pooh voice a villain is weird. That bomb chick is sexy though.

It's alright, seems like it had a smaller budget than most of it's contemporaries.

>>149221644
>little darker about The Mask
Yes it is dark. Daily reminder that the clay monster (whatever is his name) literally is body horror because every time the mask fights him he gets fucked up and his body gets fucked up.

He was like
>liquefied = no powers only trapped in a clay body
>thrown into the ocean and got fucked up
>Got cut in half and screamed because he is not that kind of a monster who can put himself together.
>Mixed with concrete and = no powers only trapped in a clay body

And the intro episode his friend is body horror because instead of getting cool powers he literally becomes a fish with no powers, he can not even swim, stays like this for the rest of the show.

>Winnie the Pooh
HUH?
>Kablamus
Name any other super hero or villain who has his powers I wait.

>Kablamus
The way he monologues is peak super hero comic behavior.
Also DARK because the first time he inflates and has no control over it you think he will die.

Then we have Peter Pan as interpreted by biblically accurate Tim Burton.

>Smokin
I never smoked in my life and watched the show. Agree on removing smoking from kids shows.

>>149221686
>It's alright, seems like it had a smaller budget than most of it's contemporaries.
HUH?

>>149221795
It's animation was noticably stiff and the whole show had this hard to place air of cheapness that I didn't notice in other cartoons of the time

>>149221849
I never did see it this way.
Like literally never.

I really liked how detailed and realistic the faces of everyone are etc.

>>149221920
Fair enough, could just be my personal autism causing me to see something that isn't there.

>>149222165
There is one episode where they ... ??? ... recycle a fight scene (???) only the entire thing is fucked up like transformers fucked up.

So there is that.

>>149219771 (OP)
I watched an episode of it on those Spooktober cytube streams last year, and it was pretty funny. The Mask was fighting some weird shadow kid and went into shadow kid's dimension to fight him and kept getting beat up. The Mask put on a superhero costume and lifted some weights, then immediately got beat up again. I laughed so hard. Only ever seen that episode though.

>>149219771 (OP)
>that time he got stuck in a time loop

>>149219771 (OP)
Why are they fighting the aliens from Independence Day?

>>149219771 (OP)
All I remember is Evelyn being my type, minus the possessiveness

>>149219771 (OP)
I don't think of it very often..

>>149221783
>Daily reminder that the clay monster (whatever is his name) literally is body horror because every time the mask fights him he gets fucked up and his body gets fucked up.
You mean Putty Thing?

>>149219771 (OP)
It was entertaining. The animation could get really sloppy in the later seasons, as was common for cartoons after 1995, but it remained fun for its run.

>>149221594
I figure that Walter is a victim of translation to a more children-oriented series. Comic Walter is kind of an asshole who knows he's intimidating and he finds entertainment in flaunting it.
But you can't really have THIS guy in a cartoon, so your easiest choice is to oversimplify it to "big dumb brute"

>>149221410
Why the fuck do you write like that?

>>149221644
>Also I don't like the idea of a character sensationalizing smoking to children. I grew up and picked up a smoking habit and partly I have The Mask to attribute credit to that.
If you follow this line of reasoning to its logical conclusion, the only thing left for children to watch will be Teletubbies. I loved The Mask and I always thought smoking looked cool (still do), and yet I never smoked. Whenever you show anything negative on screen, some kid is gonna be retarded enough to pick it up, but you can't protect the whole world from itself.

You can see all of them here:

I recommend you watch this one next:

>some weird shadow kid
That is Skillit complete with the song of demented children around him. He is basically Peter Pan as interpreted by 1989s Tim Burton.

Fun fact you can only see in HD he has a clock that has 13 on it. Unbelievable they put this much detail into the animation knowing that it will never be seen by anyone.

PS: Turns out that my memory made him look far more dark then the last time I watched I remember the 13h clock looking far more evil and demented like hyper realistically detailed digits and the handles where like big fat and crooked.

>Spooktober cytube streams
The who or what?

>>149226949
>You mean Putty Thing?
Yes. Cool character with a stupid name same for his team name.
The terrible due?
The duo of doom?
NO! The terrible twosome!

i think that is part of the joke since the kids are terrible at naming themselves.

>>149227546
I thought it was just the terrible two in this case. Yeah, I did like Putty Thing, he had cool powers.

>>149219771 (OP)
It was one of the best shows of the mid 90s.

Fun fact, Putty Thing and Fish Guy were parodies of Bill & Ted. Except they were even stupider, and they tried to get spider-man powers by getting themselves irradiated. One of them turned into putty (I forgot exactly how), the other fell into a fish tank in a pet store.

Me and all my friends watched
- Mask
- Ace Ventura
- Earthworm Jim
- Freakazoid

>>149228154
Not The Tick???

>>149228164
- The Tick

>>149228170
Yeah!! SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

>>149220629
just as annoying as the english version
kudos to the voice director for finding someone that sounds like latin american Rob Paulsen though

Thread cold be cool without this autistic fag screaming about the show being dark

>>149219771 (OP)
putting that woman in a time loop of dropping a gtandfather clock on her head was really fucked up. i knew instantly as a kid. then she comes back and explains that yeah it was fucked up and from her perspective it lasted 1,000 years.

When we do our Spooktober generals in October, there's some guys who do streams of /co/-related Halloween movies and specials, and a lot of non-/co/ related stuff too. They're hosted on a website called cytube. If you're around this October, give them a shot.

Davida Steelmine was a co Zatanna expy and they gave her leeeeegs.
Also Cree Summer hot voice
