[adult swim]

I know it's not specifically Adult Swim related, but it was a kid-friendly off-shoot of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, so it's tangentially related.

If you haven't heard of it, it was a block in 1997 when Cartoon Network was just starting out that wasl as I said before, a kid-friendly version of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Instead of having special guests to interview, you'd mostly just have Space Ghost, Brak, and Zorak standing around talking to each other. Sometimes you would have clips of cartoons or some live action footage they filmed of a guy in a Space Ghost costume to sort of interrupt things and keep things flowing.

It was mostly a flimsy excuse to try to pretend Cartoon Network had original content (At the time it was mostly Hanna Barbara reruns), and extremely low budget (Something they make fun of themselves for)

All the episodes are archived one YouTube

I just wanted to bring this to the attention of those who hadn't heard of it, and invite those who have seen it, whether as a kid or through youtube uploads, to discuss there opinion of it.

In the intro, there's a big shot of who I presume are all the villains of this new show.

The new artstyle has made some characters difficult to predict, but here's my guesses for now.

If you wanna zoom in a bit: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/6ba8b00e-8694-4b61-80fd-178c025245c3.png

Episodes 1-4 have confirmed the name of some of these characters. There's still the question of the emo-cut white-haired man who fought with Livewire in the 1st episode, but given the orange-and-black + dual-swords guy in the intro, some have speculated that he might be Deathstroke (aka: Slade Wilson).

So here's my guesses at the new villains.

• Amanda Waller (Confirmed Episode 2)

• Deathstroke (Evidence in Episode 2, but not 100% confirmed yet)

• Livewire (Confirmed Episode 2)

• Intergang (Confirmed Episode 3)

• Dr. Ivo + Parasite 1.0 suit (Confirmed Episode 4)

• Darkseid, Cheshire, and Jinx kinda-sorta look like the other characters in the opening. But without episodes yet, its premature to have any certainty.

• EDIT: I noticed I missed the power-suit guy in the center-left, and the tiny purple-glowing figure in the middle. The purple-figure looks vaguely Kryptonian to me, gonna guess Eradicator (Kryptonian android left on Clark's space-ship). Center-left guy is a power-suit and flight of some kind.

• EDIT2: Oh right, the hair girl is Silver Banshee, she just uses the new tech to do things. And she counts as "Intergang". Intergang this time is composed of Myst, Rough House and Silver Banshee, which is very unusual.

Dr. Ivo + Parasite is a very unusual combination. Dr. Ivo is more commonly known for the Amazo android. Given that this new show is willing to do things so dramatically differently, these other villains could also be combination-villains (inspired by 2 or more characters, rather than singular characters).

Of all the people to form a union, the animation industry is the one that needs it the most. Best of luck to them.
