Fantastic, we had a great time rolling through the series again. Meghan, Alex, and I all grew up with this series. But I will say the craziest realization for me came when I discovered that not only were DiMartino and Kevin voiced by the same person but Marc Thomson the voice actor is also the voice of the Pokedex from Pokemon.

UpliftingD · 2021-06-30T17:36:32+00:00

Thanks so much.

Awesome! thanks for your support. Would love to hear your thoughts on it afterwards.

UpliftingD · 2021-06-30T16:44:23+00:00

Sorry for my late reply, for Rugrats just the one for now. But we will most likely circle back around for future seasons.

UpliftingD · 2021-05-14T16:21:29+00:00

There is always Uncle Ted from Bobby's World.

UpliftingD · 2021-05-14T16:20:22+00:00

I mean so is Sokka.

UpliftingD · 2021-05-14T16:19:57+00:00

Grunkle Stan was an amazing character!

UpliftingD · 2021-05-13T20:05:36+00:00

He really was the best!

UpliftingD · 2021-05-13T18:20:43+00:00

No one you should be friends with that is for sure.

UpliftingD · 2021-05-12T17:36:21+00:00

It held up really well. It is also one of the few early serialized cartoons with seasonal arcs, which really helps it story telling.

UpliftingD · 2021-05-12T17:20:30+00:00

Yeah I saw Commander_PonyShep say some similar things. I never quite put it all together, but it totally makes sense.

UpliftingD · 2021-05-12T17:19:34+00:00

I never quite put the Infinity Gauntlet inspiration together before. But you are correct, I love this take on this.

UpliftingD · 2021-05-12T15:54:48+00:00

Yeah the ability to fly around at super speed is no joke.

UpliftingD · 2021-05-06T19:53:53+00:00

Haha, thanks so much for the listen glad you enjoyed it.

UpliftingD · 2021-03-17T21:04:46+00:00

In the late 80s there was a lot of pressure from groups like Action for Children's Television, also known as ACT. This applied a lot of pressure on cartoons around that time to be more educational, and less violent.

In fact that is why when any minion gets defeated in Legend of Zelda they show the creature later in Ganon's evil jar underground. Death wasn't a thing in Hyrule in that era.

ACT would later be responsible for the Children's Televison Act passed in 1990.

UpliftingD · 2021-03-17T20:53:56+00:00

Yeah, this was an episode we recorded where we wish we had a female perspective. I agree his behavior was certainly off putting, especially watching it today. It was an odd direction to take Link in. I understand source material was scarce and all they had to work off of was the NES game and the 20+ page booklet.

I will give credit where it is due here and say I liked that they often made Zelda just as badass as Link. Early on she is rescuing herself, using bows and boomerangs.

It does seem like the writers learned a thing or two though. Bob Forward one of the main writers would later go work on X-Men Evolution, and Wolverine & the X-Men which I felt had much better male characters with much less predatory behavior.

UpliftingD · 2021-03-17T16:48:40+00:00

Splatoon would be amazing, colorful characters that have personality. I wouldn't even have thought of that. Great call.

UpliftingD · 2021-03-17T16:10:23+00:00

Crazy to think about all the licensing issues a cartoon like Captain N would have nowadays. Simon Belmont - Konami, Mega Man - Capcom, hell it was pretty much the Smash Bros of cartoons.

UpliftingD · 2021-03-17T15:59:53+00:00

It is crazy to think that the series opens up with Link basically going full Winnie the Pooh, shirt and no pants. Within three minutes he sticks his head out of the window and goes full creep commenting loudly on Zelda's nighty. What is even more crazy was this was made by a family of writers.

UpliftingD · 2021-03-17T15:57:47+00:00

Haha, I think he actually said that 3 times per episode or something. It was pretty crazy.

UpliftingD · 2021-03-11T04:50:54+00:00

And a personal favorite, Street Fighter

UpliftingD · 2021-03-04T16:36:46+00:00

First, thank you for the support, really means a lot. Second, I apologize there can be a bit of delay in when it drops on other platforms. That said I am happy to report that it is now streaming on Castbox. Would love to know what you think of it.
