nightmares. Ghouls, zombies, werewolves, vampires.

You can't be sure what lurks out there in the

darkness of night. We're the dark stalkers! Tyron,

intergalactic collector of planets, wants the

Earth. And he's going to get it, even if it has

to wake the undead. He summons Demetri, Lord

to their knees. But other night warriors are

on the prowl. Monstrous, awesome contenders with

bizarre fighting powers. Immortal creatures locked

in battle to decide the fate of the world. It's

enough to make your blood run cold. Hello and

welcome to the 64th episode of Pixels in the

Animation. I almost called the podcast Darkstalkers.

I don't know what the hell that was. Holy crap.

I think I had some pinky in my brain, folks.

64th episode of Pixels in the Animation. I am

one of your hosts, TFJ and Mike, and join me

in this weird epic journey is TV's Mr. Nail.

Listen to them. The children of the night. What

music they make. Oh my god. I'd rather watch

Dracula dead and loving it on repeat than watch

this shit. Oh god. Hey, Frank Dreven was a better

Dracula than this guy. That's true. And today

we are becoming dark stalkers. This is dark stalkers

part one of two for us We're gonna do the first

seven episodes in this podcast and then do the

final six Since thankfully this show only had

one season It's one season, but it feels like

two Yeah, that's because everywhere online they

break up Anywhere you watch this new where you

find this online whether you find it on YouTube

whether you find it on other websites like Daily

motion or whatever. They break up each episode

into three parts. And I'm like, wait, you mean

I have to watch seven minutes at a time? Well,

I think it's a product of early YouTube, which

only lets you upload less than 10 minutes at

a time. And since then, it's greatly expanded,

but no one's had the courage to re -upload this.

Someone already did it already. Yeah, apparently

not um to give people some background on this

Because everything in the 90s after Batman Was

called the animated series so dark stalkers also

known as dark stalkers the series American quote

-unquote children's animated television series

produced by Graz Entertainment and in syndication

on UPN from September to December of 1995 The

cartoon is loosely, very loosely based on the

Capcom game of the same name, Darkstalkers the

Night Warriors. Oh boy. Which itself is based

largely on universal movie monsters and also

the Hammer Horror films. Unlike Konami, it seems

like they understood that those characters are

kind of copyrighted. They had to kind of put

a spin on it. So it's really not Dracula. It's

really not Frankenstein. But otherwise it is

those characters. It's the wolf man and the...

And the mummy. Yeah, and the creature from the

Black Lagoon. But they kind of queued them up

because they're all anime. But this is like a

weird interpretation of that. So it's like Japanese

designs interpreted by Western artists who've

never seen Japanese art before. Yeah, I mean,

writers on this series, wow. Okay, so first of

all, folks, normally, as you've heard in the

past when we did Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat,

the six and seven, one part, two episodes we've

been doing, we normally have at least one sentence

or one and a half sentences. of a plot synopsis

of each episode. We do not have that here whatsoever

for Darkstalkers. We just have the Wikipedia

link lists just the episode names. It does say

on here that Kristy Marks wrote some of these.

Yeah, I noticed a lot of Sunbow writers on this.

Some of them have to atone for this. I'm sorry.

With Christy, I'll give it a pass. I mean she's

she's done a bunch of other amazing amazing work

obviously Jim what she create, you know, it's

pretty much the creator of the cartoon series.

She did Turtles episode. She did Conan episode.

She did GI Joe. She did Captain Power You know,

I mean And she's done really great in the comic

book world as well as far as writing. So I'll

give her a pass. But when I looked over here

and looking at her name, I'm like, oh my God,

what is she doing on this show? Just one of those

things. I guess so. I recognize none of the other

staff, like producers. Normally you'd see like

a Lou Scheimer production or you know Wally Burr

production or Sunbow or whatever like this wasn't

even this was plus this is on UPN. This was some

fly by night animation studio. The funny thing

is this is essentially a precursor to Beast Wars

voice actors. Yeah. You got Gary Chalk, Ian James

Corlett, Scott McNeil, Lee Tokar, who was ravaging

Beast Wars for those that don't know, and Richard

Newman, who was Rhinox. And as soon as I started

watching the first episode and I heard Python's

voice, I'm like, hey, it's M. Bison, and he's

on fire! Cuz I mean don't get me wrong. I love

Richard Newman as a voice actor I hope to interview

the guy eventually one of these days, but there's

no difference in the Python voice and or pyron

I'm sorry pyron voice and And bison, it's it's

just his voice basically the same character this

series just so far because i've only because

we're only doing this first episode right now

so i've only actually watched the first seven

episodes six out of the seven six out of the

first seven are tolerable that seventh episode

i would rather watch scott and t -bob from mask

over and over again than watch little bigfoot

again i'd rather watch ultra magnus's birthday

thirteen times in a row than to watch this What

should we get him for a present? I don't know

Like what's his birthday? He doesn't have a birthday.

He's from space Yeah, yeah, he doesn't have time

for that I just I don't know Where do you want

to start with this because holy crap? I mean,

I've got notes and stuff but like I mean I keep

I'm really out of place with this series, folks,

because, like I said, normally, there are plot

synopsises provided, so it's one of those things

where we can't even roll our eyes at the really

bad Wikipedia plot synopsises because there are

none. Well, I say 13 zeros. Good night, everybody.

Oh, we can't do that. Well, there is a Darkstalkers

wiki. Yeah, I'm going there now. Yeah, and all

13 episodes do appear to be summarized on here.

Yeah, I'm looking, I'm looking. Why don't you

talk about the games briefly while I'm looking

at this for a second. Well, there's not really

much else to say. It's largely based on the Street

Fighter engine. It's kind of halfway between

Street Fighter II and Street Fighter Alpha. It's

more cartoony than Street Fighter II was. It's

got bigger attacks. You know, instead of like

having tiny fireballs, it's like, you know, you

just have like huge attacks that take up the

whole screen. And like I said, it's largely based

on movie monsters. Some of the ones I didn't

cover, you know, Pyron, he's basically the devil.

Felicia, which is, I don't know. Where does Felicia

actually fall in? She's like a cat girl, which

is like an anime thing. So it's not really a

monster per se, which is probably why she's the

protagonist in here. They're like, well, what

the hell is she? She's the good guy. That's who

she is. Yeah, she's essentially a black cat,

but she's not black cat. Yeah. Because black

cat had a little bit of bad in her, but at least

black cat was a little bit more sexy. And you

have I'm gonna screw up this name Bisham on who's

like the She's like the samurai warrior. He kind

of looks like a bludgeon from late transformers

g1 You know the comics See Oh Bigfoot, but I'm

pretty sure he's called Sasquatch in the in the

games Yeah, yeah, I think that was one of the

okay, so Looking at the Darkstalkers wiki, differences

between the games and the show. Characters have

a more western cartoon look, obviously. Almost

every character has a complete personality change.

For example, Anacaris is a silent and mysterious

in the games, however in the cartoon he's loony,

humorous, and talkative. Felicia is the main

character in the series. She acts like a sassy

adult instead of a childish teenage girl, is

stated to be hundreds of years old, and is covered

up more than a costume of some sort instead of

just having a minimal amount of fur. You already

mentioned the Sasquatch thing. So Lord Raptors

midsection is a tattoo rather than a gaping empty

area, which yeah, I don't think even UPN would

have allowed this series to have a gaping hole

in the guy's stomach. I mean, I know UPN was

desperate for content in the 90s, but I mean,

come on. Lord Raptors got to have some sort of

standards. Lord Raptors seems partially based

on Eddie from the cover of many Iron Maiden albums.

Yeah, and he's got that he's got that Scott McNeil

voice where it's like half protoman half Oh What's

the other one he uses Like his version of dr.

Wiley, I guess I don't know. It's like it's like

dr. Wiley and protoman, but they're rock stars

mix with wheelie. Oh It's just so wrong all right

song references Oh, yeah, I that was one of my

down to Where is it? It's pyramid. No, it's not

pyramid power. It's um It's yep, it was too many

bad jokes and all this Know it's it's somewhere

in my notes. Oh, yeah, it's it's in the in the

ghost hunter episode where I wrote too many musical

puns so to Give us some background here for out

of the dark Pyron returns to earth and summons

the old races also known as the dark stalkers

to help him enslave the humans a dark stalker

by the name of Felicia searches for the legendary

sorcerer Elijah grimoire or grimoire or whatever

the hell, grimoire. I think it's grimoire or

something. Grimoire, yeah, that's what it is.

In hopes that he can help her instead of finding

the ancient sorcerer, she finds his great -great

-great -great -great -grandson, Harry. AKA character,

not actually in the games. Yep. Alls I can think

of this entire time I'm watching this show, you're

a wizard, Harry! No, oh no! the dark stalking

of harry potter if only he had like uh... around

glasses no although that they would be a combination

of harry potter and mccully colkin is the page

master uh... so this first episode it's a good

setup i like the setup uh... Felicia's constant

transformation apparently she has to turn into

a cat so she can rest her. It's kind of like

Mumrah. He has to go back in the pyramid and

sleep, but she just turns into a cat and takes

a cat nap. It's almost the reverse of Catra from

She -Ra. Because Catra for the most part is,

you know... decked out check with with the mask

in the boobs in the ass all that but then when

she wants to you know get down and dirty with

was sheer another other people on that show she

puts her mask and she turns into a female version

of panthorne i'm like wait why uh... catra was

much was much sexier usual yeah human also you

know yeah absolutely but uh... still I'd rather

compare this Felicia to the other Felicia and

the other Felicia is much better Good old Felicia

Hardy. Yes. Oh boy. All right. So the first episode

It's like I said it sets up the characters nicely

but um What the hell is is like the death star

like the the all of the what they call dark helmet

shipments because you guys you know is that what's

all i think it's just called space ball one okay

as they see a space ball one had a better tractor

beam than this she had this tractor beam is the

the the wolfman guy is going to go into a cave

in the tractor beam can't find it wouldn't have

just gone over the cave and pulled the whole

cave up to reveal that oh my god it's the worst

tractor beam in the history of tractor beams

we can send the two guys down with pro pick we

ain't found shit yeah comb the desert The other

when when pyrons says swear to serve me we swear

it's like they I Know they've turned it know

he's turned him in the mindless zombies, but

it's like they have zero disinterest in actually

serving him I Don't know. Did you have anything

for out of the dark? Very little it's just it's

just a very run -of -the -mill Setup episode

it's I don't I don't remember it even having

a plot it was just kind of like like we're gonna

introduce all the characters in one shot except

yeah, actually, I think they got all of them

except for a couple but I Don't remember a story

actually being there It was just like we're going

to name all the bad guys and all of the good

guys and that's the way it's gonna be the end

and this the other thing i want to talk about

with this show because i have i've only ever

heard of this cartoon i i don't i i have no The

reason why, not because it's not warranted, but

the reason why I'm being so hard on it is because

I've never... This wasn't something where I saw

an episode of back in the night, like Mortal

Kombat and Street Fighter when we did those.

I've seen several episodes of those in the past.

I've never seen this. I've never been exposed

to the games. I have no clue. So I'm coming to

this very fresh. That's why I'm being so critical

about it. And it's like... It's basically a villain

episode this first episode is basically like

hey Let's assemble all the villains and then

who the hell are the good get like where the

good guys like the whole the whole main intro

That I played the you know the whole Talk thing

like they they make it sound like the dark stalkers

are Supposed to be the heroes, but they're obviously

not it just yeah they basically just rounded

up all the villains and they said we're the dark

suckers roll credits and it's just kind of i

don't know i kind of lost track of what i was

going to say because i'm just so exasperated

um yeah uh characters would disappear just appear

on the on the screen for like a couple seconds

and say stupid things i'm sure i'm sure uh raptor

said something that was a quote of a song and

Anacara said, all hail the Imperial pudding.

I specifically wrote down, ugh. What else I can

think of? I know this is bad that I even know

this. What else I can think of is one of the

episodes of that Disney show, The Suite Life

on Deck, with Dylan and Cole Sprouse, where Dylan's

character, Zack, says, he salted my pudding cup

you don't solve a man's pudding cup one of the

one of the girls in the show says men don't eat

pudding cups that's all i can think of uh...

all the other thing is i just assume that this

was on us a cartoon express and i guess it wasn't

thank god it was like it was it couldn't it couldn't

match up to the high standards set by street

fighter in mortal combat i mean don't get me

wrong You know in USA's cartoon in USA cartoon

expresses later years they did lower the quality

a lot, but When I remember that that franchise

is at its heyday when they were you know doing

all the huckleberry hound Stuff and the scooby

stuff and all the all the all the fun cartoons

that we still like to watch every now and then

Alright, what would you I hate to even ask but

what would you rate the first out of the dark?

I have to give it a zero. It's not a story It's

just it's just like we're gonna name every character.

Yeah Nothing happened I'm gonna give it a 1 .5

only because I'm gonna give it a one and a half

only because I do like the voice acting. I think

it's really, really well done. And these, you

know, we know most of these guys. Gary Chalk,

Scott McNeil, Ian James Corlett, you know, Richard

Newman. So I'll give it a one and a half. All

right. Donovan's Bane. Harry and Felicia travel

to Great Britain to retrieve a ring that belongs

to his family line after being attacked by a

man who calls himself the Dark Hunter. Morgan

must travel to Britain to find an ancient family

heirloom that will grant her the power she needs

to defeat her new foe. All right, this one basically

reveals that she's a descendant or a daughter

or a granddaughter of Morgan Le Fay. Seriously?

Okay. Really? You're going to try to bring in

Arthurian legend into this show? Really? Why

not? They brought in... Oh, god damn it. What's

the name of that wizard? Merlin. They brought

in Merlin, so why not? Yeah, he gets revealed

at the end, but this was the episode that I made

the comment of, you're a wizard now, Harry. So

we get more set up in this, and we meet the character

of Donovan... Who basically assumes that all

dark stalkers are evil because apparently all

of them are and he basically wants to kill Felicia

no matter what Even when she tries to help him

she sees he still wants to kill her This show

One -dimensional characterization it's like they

don't even have Dimensionally, I kind of like

the bond that Harry and Felicia are like the

friendship bond that they're kind of trying to

Put there the 12 year old boy who walks around

with the sexy cat girl Hey, you know whatever

works, right? I wouldn't have complained back

then I Mean it's just I don't know Yeah, I mean

that so this episode turned none of its main

episode turns into a a search for the ring and

apparently they assume that Morgan or whatever

her name is the the Batley or Whatever she's

supposed to be they assume that she's coming

after his great great great great great great

great great grandfather's ring or whatever else

but apparently she's looking for her own ring

from her own bloodline so apparently by sheer

happenstance of convenience there are two rings

in this museum for each one for each party and

i see your shorts is as big as mine yeah that's

yeah so harry has the up shorts and she has the

down shorts In fact doesn't it end like that

like it turns out that the ring did nothing.

Yeah, I found it in a crackerjack box Yeah, the

ring does nothing and then in a later episode

He starts using he'd like the ring starts becoming

a compass or something. I This the show The only

thing Apparently Anna and Icarus his wife ran

off with a merman seriously really It just Folks

I just don't know what to say about this. I would

love to give you guys more in -depth analysis

for this show for this series, but Like Neil

said it's not to me. It's not even a one -dimensional

thing It's like it's like zero dimensions all

together like they try to do character development

and then they Redact it pretty much What would

you give Donovan's Bane? I'll be nice a little

one Give it a one. I'm gonna give it a one and

a half again for the voice acting still love

the voice acting The pyramid of power so this

is where we we meet to the The the gold Power

Ranger, I'm sorry Yeah, that would have been

almost better So this is where, let's see here.

They don't even have a summary for it on the

Darkstalkers wiki. What the hell? This was the

first episode to feature Victor Von Garraheim

as one of the main characters. This episode also

featured Klaus, a man who's family assisted in

the Garraheims for generations. So basically

this is, okay, this episode, this next episode

is... Wait am I lost here? Yeah, what episode

are you on? Yeah, I'm lost here folks. That's

ridiculous. Have you tried Harry Christian? Yeah,

I Just trying to God I went to the game for some

odd reason I had a triple H moment folks Alright,

so pyramid of power Morgan Demetri and Anna cares

travel back in time to find out what happened

to An ancient gem, Felicia senses that Ryuku,

a merman, is in trouble and... Coincidentally,

Harry's mom has to head to Cairo, Egypt as a

5 ,000 year old pyramid is seen mysteriously

floating over the desert city. Okay. Um... Hmm...

Just... No. The only cool thing is the Pharaoh,

the old Pharaoh, because he's constantly... He

reminds me of Eddie from Mega Man. I love Eddie,

but this guy... What a forgetful guy. All else

I can think of is when I see the war, the Egyptian

-Atlantean war, I'm like, when's Aquaman gonna

show up? Or when's Merman gonna show up? I was

biting my lip. I was gonna make a Merman joke

on the last episode. I mean seriously, we could

sit here and make sea spray jokes all day. That

was the next one. It introduces Ryuko a little

bit. It gives us more with the Pharaoh. It gives

us this whole thing with the gem. It somehow

makes the Pharaoh think that Felicius is dead

wife. Ladies and gentlemen a soap opera has more

story development than this episode Anything

to say on pyramid of power pyramid power or whatever

it's calm Not a whole lot. Was this the episode

where they started the the major plot point that

Ryuko is is Curiously attractive even though

he isn't Mm -hmm. They just keep keep ramming

that into the ground I'm like what am I missing

here you know yeah he tries to they essentially

try to oh what's it yeah not they basically try

to Vega him and they don't really do it a good

job because let's face it Vega knows uh... they

have from street fighter believes he himself

to be so obvious why uses the mass but essentially

this is like any other cartoon character of this

this generation that is the bane all god ryu

you know who ryu ko is he's the merman version

of simon belmont's oh no captain in the game

master uh... at least it first is I assume zeros

for pyramid power? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, the game.

This is the one, this is the next one here on

this journey and I know we're dragging it out

folks and I'm sorry but I just gotta give you

guys content somehow. This is the game. In this

very ring, okay, that's enough. Yeah This is

not a slobberknocker I'll tell you that right

now folks There is no RKO out of nowhere here

What else does he say vintage this is not vintage

at all So, the cool thing with this is you got

Cheetor and James Corlett voicing Victor Von

Gerdung. So that's cool. But this episode is

essentially, the game episode is basically tearing

down the butler. One of the lines is, I couldn't

keep the castle clean without you. Are you kidding

me? Seriously? And then the whole thing turns

into a contest. It's like, hey, let's let's do

some sort of Mortal Kombat conflict Whoever captures

the most is my favorite. I'm like, oh god, no

And there are just too many bad jokes in this

episode like So many and then they're gonna try

to trap him in the freezer what? It just So the

game, what are your thoughts on the game? Well,

I was kind of hoping that it would be kind of

an allusion to the most dangerous game, which

is a movie whose plot has been ripped off time

and time again. And it wouldn't be out of question

for cartoons to rip it off because we've seen

it a ton of times. There was an episode of Transformers

that was like that, but this kind of isn't that.

It's more like the bad guys are just like Like

you said like oh, let's let's have a competition

to see who could capture the most good guys You

know it's And then throughout the episode the

quote -unquote mathematician Butler can sit You

know keeps trying to confuse the Pharaoh dude

with how many which person has and who actually

won it's like seriously Really gonna do that

I assume a double zero for this one? Yeah. Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna take a quick

break because we're gonna give you something

that is much better than the next episode. Ladies

and gentlemen, without any further ado, John

Cougar Melon Can. I hope you enjoyed that musical

interlude of one of the best songs about walls

come tumbling down. While being turned down by

the talent agent Irving, Lord Raptor's guitar

senses something strange. Meanwhile, Pyron's

computer senses the trumpet of Jericho. Oh no.

Do you want to do it or do you want me to do

it? know where to start. Y2Jackass. Jackass.

I know you have not been watching wrestling much

recently. No. You do know that AJ Styles is now

in the WWE, right? I do know that. Which has

me wondering who the hell is in TNA. But that

can be saved for another podcast. Yeah, well

really quickly. The reason why I said the Y2

Jackass thing is because when AJ Styles came

into WWE, they had him go against Chris, and

then they had them team up, so it was Y2 AJ.

And then Chris Jericho decided to basically flip

on him. And he's basically just started chanting

his name, AJ Styles, to get back at him. AJ keeps

interrupting. AJ would keep interrupting his

matches saying, why to Jackass? It's a long form

of happy Gilmore. Jackass. Okay, so and the walls

come tumbling down. The trumpet of Jericho and

sends Anacaris to find it. Strangely, Harry's

ring, the ring of the black dragon, also senses

something. Harry and Fleisha go to investigate

the mystery. Okay, like I said my thinking of

the John Cougar melon camp song is pretty much

the only thing that really saves this for me

Apparently Felicia's in show business That I'll

go with that. I don't remember that ever being

said before this episode and Well, it's his name

Lord Raptor if I can't be the best rock star.

I'll be the loudest Someone please call Simon

Cowell. He needs a job This episode is by far

the worst episode so far I Mean so bad Just so

bad. I mean I could almost appreciate some of

the obscure rock references. He was making I'm

like like oh my god That's a rainbow reference

in a 90s or two like somebody remembered 70s

prog rock, but Other than that, oh my god All

the goddamn Song song lyric puns Mm -hmm. I mean

there's I don't think the wiki even like even

bothered making no they didn't they didn't even

bother noting them all this They're just too

infuriating What to even say I mean I hate Lord

Raptor in this cartoon so much. He's a one -note

joke that was not upon, I swear. I mean, I like

his voice. I mean, I like Scott McNeil doing

the character. Just the character is just so

written. We know, people, that the 90s was filled

with cheesy stuff. We get that but I mean come

on this was just Way too much cheese not enough

macaroni there is a a Bruce Dickinson song called

the wall called the trumpets of Jericho, which

is the the The chorus line is the trumpets of

Jericho, but still the walls remain It's a song

about failure basically and that basically encapsulates

this entire episode So it is a failure Mm -hmm

double zeros again double zeros double zeros

Up next is the second to last episode for us

here in part one of dark stalkers ghost hunter

Demetri and Morrigan notice there are hardly

any remaining Darkstalkers. Morrigan suspects

someone is hunting the Darkstalkers to extinction.

Harry finds a news article about a man who died

mysteriously in Cape Town, Africa, after telling

Felicia they decided to ask Ryuku to investigate.

Meanwhile, Lord Raptor is sent to investigate

a possible Darkstalker that could be recruited

for Pyron. let's see uh... what did i write down

for this one uh... oh so throughout this whole

series at least the first seven six seven episodes

uh... demetri and what's her nuts they have this

whole really weird childish brother sister kind

of fight back -and -forth relationship and he

in part of this episode he says something about

using his mind and she basically retorts what

mind Just This is the episode that were way too

many musical puns. I couldn't even count them

all and This episode also it basically turns

into what we already saw in Street Fighter with

Chun Li and bison This is basically. Oh, you

killed my family. I'm going to get my revenge

on you. It is that isn't it? Oh, yeah, it's Pretty

much that. Anything to say about Ghost Hunter?

Just really quickly about how do you pronounce

this character's name? I think it's like Sayanko.

I'm just going to go with that. She's based on

a type of... I think it's Chinese. It's a type

of movie vampire that... You know we talked about

this on animation fish not as I'm not really

good at like explaining what this is but it's

like it's like this hopping vampire zombie monster

that only appears in like Chinese lore and and

They show up in video games. There's like there's

an enemy like that in Super Mario land and the

fourth in the fourth world and It's in a couple

other video games, but that's basically what

she's supposed to be and they talk about Characters

misinterpreted. This is probably the most misinterpreted

character in the entire show. I mean, she just

looks like this weird monkey woman with these

big claws on her hands for no reason. Yeah, that

is very, very true. All right. I assume double

zeros. Double zeros. Last up today is Little

Bigfoot's last stand. Make it stop. Please make

it stop. Instead of teleporting Felicia, Pyron

has abducted Harry and Sasquatch's curious nephew,

Hairball. Oh no! His plans have changed, but

maybe for the good. Now Felicia has to find her

way onto Pyron's ship. The Bigfoot tribe also

have to figure out how to save a young Hairball.

I take it back. This is the most irritating character

in the show. Yeah Okay, this is your standard

Kidnapping cartoon Unintentional kidnapping cartoon,

I guess you could say We've seen this the time

we've seen it in mask we've seen it in in he

-man we've I'm sure there are a couple of times

that spike was kidnapped as a kid in Transformers

You know and This Nearly bro, just it's because

of the kid it really because he's that kid that

every cartoon whether 80s 90s whatever had Oh,

what's this button do? What's this button do?

One Easter egg, one Easter egg. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

he's the... Oh, God. I want an Easter egg. Can

we just review Easter eggs instead of this? Because,

wow, that's a better cartoon. Oh, my God. So

we end this podcast on Little Bigfoot's blast

stand. You got anything for Little Bigfoot? I

really wish it was his last stand. Same here.

I don't know how this is going to average out

with our grades and whatever else, but I almost

want to give this one a triple zero just by myself.

Oh my God. This cartoon is just this episode.

In this whole series to this point, we're seven

episodes into this thing. It really doesn't have

any real direction other than, oh my god, we

have to save the world from the Darkstalkers,

but Pyron's plots, his schemes are just so...

I mean, Pyron seems like the type of character

who would get hazed by Cobra Commander and Skeletor.

That's how lame he is. Yeah, pretty much and

and Cobra commander built a pyramid built a roller

coaster inside of a pyramid Come on Mean there.

Okay, so I know when we did the Street Fighter

episodes that I complained that they drug out

the The old cami storyline like that that whole

arc of hers where it was like hey, here's here's

part one Four episodes later. Here's part two

seven episodes. Here's here's the final episode.

Here's the final part There aren't even any kind

of like there are no connectors in this series

other than the cast but it's essentially turned

into Plot of the week villain of the week or

what's you know, what what's the bad idea this

week and like I mean I I'm gonna be doing Optimus

Solon are gonna be doing this next year, but

It's been years since I've seen new adventures

of He -Man I would rather watch that Skeletor

than watch any of these characters ever again

I mean that version of Skeletor at least had

the benefit of being somewhat based on on groucho

marks and didn't like it that mark but you know

it was it was amusing in its own little way so

that's uh... that's that's going to do it for

dark stalkers for one i don't remember was the

moral combat episodes of the street fighter episodes

where you were like folks just send us money

now after this yeah i don't often make a big

deal of this thing and yes podcasters supposed

to be free but you people always money after

watching this uh... we're going to take a quick

break come back uh... close the show after this

won't involved. Pyron wants us to work together

on something. And I figured that if I just beamed

you both to Egypt, you'd kill each other. Egypt?

Yes! Relax and enjoy yourself. Kingdoms of upper

and lower Ichi. May the hippopotamus of happiness

belch in your battle. May your royal nose putrefy

and fall into your soup. Most gracious, I'm sure.

What's going on? Byron's computer reminded him

of a gem of power that Anakaris used to possess

before he lost his marbles. Phew! That was long

ago. Do you even remember what it was like before

you lost your marbles, Anakaris? Marbles? Marbles,

girls, your... Hey, sparkly stones. The ancient

crystal -like capstone. Your sublime and celestial

highness, yes, Mirin Ruka? Too bad there was

never a Castlevania cartoon folks because we

would have rather have had that than watch this
