It's pretty fricking good. Best episode is the one where aliens are Hollywood actors wearing human suits and Not-Xenomorph is framed for the murder of Not-Predator by Not-Care Bears.
Wait, WHAT
Been ages since I've seen this show. That sounds fricking wild.
It does everything the two sequel movies should have done. It even did the time travel to meet a younger version of yourself thing the third movie did.

Godzilla had a great intro too
Conan's intro was testosterone
Samurai Pizza Cats has a great one because the guy was drunk singing it
Batman had a great into too.
Shadow Raiders
Big guy and Rusty
Biker Mice from Mars
The 90s had a lot of good intros.
I always get a chuckle out of watching Samurai Pizza Cats opening. He's not even trying to hide that he's absolutely blasted. And it's even still a catchy, fun, likeable song at that.
And that's why it's worth to make good intros,something modern cartoon creators seem to have forgotten.
They still have them but they're mostly skipped. The sweet spot is usually something short enough that people don't feel like it's wasting their time like the stranger things title float.
Like MIB would probably just be cut down to just the first 30 seconds
That would have been fricking sick. Especially if they kept the slow weighty robots from the first movie.

whats crazy is that no one has used that old animation style from the 90s that was stilted because it was a lot of work to smooth it out.
that woukd actually lend well to the slow Jaeger style movement you want
Cartoons as a block on regular channels stopped being a thing which meant cartoons based on movies to advertise merch for that movie stopped being a thing
I loved the episode where Edgar the bugs brother is hunting her down to avenge his family, and they actually got Vincent Dnofrio himself to do the voice of the bug.
The sequel failed because it upended the character dynamic that made the 1st one a hit. Agent J was no longer the rookie everyman audience stand-in and K was braindead for most of the film
They retained for the cartoon, while slowly expanding the universe and giving the agency a cast of supporting characters
>Did it fail?
It made less than the original but wasn't a flop. I think it's shit and I have no idea why it was so much worse than the first one. Maybe because they got new writers. MIB 3 was way better. Josh Brolin fricking killed it as K.
Not that guy, but I think for a lot of people the problem was that K's restoration felt undeserved, since it was happening in the first sequel. Then there was J's romance with the main girl, which to many didn't feel all that fleshed out. They flirt a bit, and J isn't even reprimanded all that much for his poor conduct as an agent.
I also remember some people feeling that the humor was a bit too low brow compared to the original movie. The alien with literal balls for a chin feeling more like a Family Guy tier joke compared to the more elaborately mysterious aliens seen in the original.
Still, at least it wasn't International, which I recall hearing just felt like a parody unto itself of the franchise than a reboot that could have revived the series without Smith or Jones

MIB International felt like it was trying to be a bland MCU movie so badly that it didn't have anything that made the first movie good.
Also Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson had no chemistry in it which is ironic considering they were in Thor Ragnarok together.
This always felt really out of place on Kids WB. Like it has this fricking sick intro, the characters are realistic-looking adults, a lot of the plots are pretty fricking crazy for a kids show, the whole atmosphere felt more like it fit a nighttime block than a Saturday morning block, etc. I feel like it would have done a lot better if it aired in the evenings on Cartoon Network as some kind of transition between it and Adult Swim, might have given them a reason to tighten up the writing more too. The series was fun but I swear it felt like they were writing the dialogue with a hand tied behind their backs.
Show had four seasons it was plenty successful but what killed it was the last season aired on Fridays during that period where KidsWB was trying to make its Friday afternoon block a hub for new episodes. A lot of shows failed during that time.
Oh yeah I'm not saying it wasn't successful per se, just that it always felt like it could have been a bigger hit if it was handled a little differently right out the gate.
>That episode where literally everyone except J was in on a plan to trick Alpha >They used J as bait >J ended up saving the day when it turned out Alpha wasn't tricked
I think it's fairly good. Shame that K's voice changed in the later seasons. I think western animation is missing shows like this and Godzilla the Series. Good movie tie-ins with creepy designs that take the premise places the movie didn't have time to.
Just started watching it after only watching the sweet intro for years (and maybe catching an episode or two as a kid). It's better than I expected, might watch it all. Quickly got used to J's non-Will Smith voice.
It's one of those shows that you can watch every episode for and not remember a fricking thing about later. All I can recall is that L was hot, the worms made coffee jokes, X was annoying, and every episode had the word "Syndrome" in the title.
Oh also the bug queen was disguised as a little girl and the scenes of her men feeding her were weirdly sexual.
>It's one of those shows that you can watch every episode for and not remember a fricking thing about later.
This. For as fun as it was it's also kind of forgettable. I tried going through it last year (I think I got up to the episode with the alien bounty hunter) but I lost interest and decided to watch Ben 10 instead. I guess that's why people don't bring it up anymore. It's not even bad which makes it even weirder.
I remember the episode where they do an underwater mission, but only the one scene where Jay says he's like a Barracuda, but Kay says he's more like a trout. That one scene is all I remember of this entire show. Also the sick intro.
Looking it up, if someone has an alliterative name, then they would be called "Agent Double P" or something like that. There was an agent T who got renamed to "High T"
Guessing that would mean if someone had a full name and each began with D, then they might be called "agent 3D/D3"
Doesn't even actually eat that last one, just slams it into her fricking face hard enough that it explodes. Girl somehow got an F in lunch break at school.
The plots and art style were more mature than most kids shows, felt a little gritty and austere, cool x-files mystery atmosphere, didn't dumb itself down too much without losing appropriate tone. wish we had more like this. the other adelaide productions weren't quite like it in this way
The intro is cold
Frick this shit went so hard
Wait, WHAT
Been ages since I've seen this show. That sounds fricking wild.

>When you see who wrote it
Is that Clancy Brown?
Thanks anon, that was fun. E was cute
Hmm, I thought I'd watched the whole thing when I was a kid, but it looks like I missed episodes. Time to torrent this.
Of course it was Weisman. Who else would write something like that?
What is this genre called and what are some similar-sounding tracks?
East Coast Hip Hop Boom Bap
God damn. WB before Pokemon stomped it had some of the best openings for cartoons.
God tier opening
I miss the 90's/early 2000's. It had this 'dark and bizarre' aesthetic that you just don't see too much of in modern cartoons.
It's pretty fricking good. Best episode is the one where aliens are Hollywood actors wearing human suits and Not-Xenomorph is framed for the murder of Not-Predator by Not-Care Bears.
There's a whole category of shows where the only thing people ever talk about are their intros and nothing else
>90s Iron Man
>Men In Black
What else?
X-Men
i like the credits theme
the only thing i remember from the show is one episode where iirc they get superpowers (I think K becomes a The Thing wannabe).
it's a great tune
I prefer the ukulele cover
Personal experience, Batman '04
Godzilla had a great intro too
Conan's intro was testosterone
Samurai Pizza Cats has a great one because the guy was drunk singing it
Batman had a great into too.
Shadow Raiders
Big guy and Rusty
Biker Mice from Mars

Ned's newt
And that's why it's worth to make good intros,something modern cartoon creators seem to have forgotten.
They haven't forgotten how to, it's considered superfluous in the streaming age
They still have them but they're mostly skipped. The sweet spot is usually something short enough that people don't feel like it's wasting their time like the stranger things title float.
Like MIB would probably just be cut down to just the first 30 seconds
godzilla the animated serie
Every power rangers season
It had a rape scene
What, where?
Adelaide Productions made a lot of kino in this era
>makes four shows, all great
>vanishes into thin air
What the hell happened to them?
They made more than four anon.
Extreme Ghostbusters, Men in Black, Godzilla, Rusty and the Big Guy and...
Jackie Chan Adventures and Jumanji.
I always thought the Jumanji cartoon was made by Klasky-Csupo.
I can see why you would think that. Everett Peck (duckman and rugrats) was a character designer.
The Boondocks
Imagine a Pacific Rim series done by them.
That would have been fricking sick. Especially if they kept the slow weighty robots from the first movie.
>actual time to flesh out all the Jaeger pilots, including Cherno Alpha chad couple

that woukd actually lend well to the slow Jaeger style movement you want
FRICKING DRAGON TALES?
GEEKR?
The Boondocks?
They were too good for us
Cartoons as a block on regular channels stopped being a thing which meant cartoons based on movies to advertise merch for that movie stopped being a thing
I cant believe same studio did Dragon tales. But I guess DT writing was also very good
As someone who had a massive crush on Scully I appreciated that Agent L was in this one
Better than it had any reason to be.
Did Peter Chung work on this show?
miguelanxo prado's designs
I never watched it. I was filtered by it being a Movie-based thing. Those always suck.
For whatever reason, the era where this series came out was a golden age of movie tie-in shows.
Kino
Ultimate late-night cartoon. The dirty and depressing reality of NYC in that era was translated perfectly.
I remember it. Not my favorite cartoon when I was a kid but I remember it.
I love Agent L and her voice. Also, it’s a pretty damn good cartoon
L was cute.
SOVL
soulless
I loved the episode where Edgar the bugs brother is hunting her down to avenge his family, and they actually got Vincent Dnofrio himself to do the voice of the bug.
it was good
the top and bottom half look like 2 different women
Kino
Better than the movies.
I loved this show. I rewatched it when The Hub was airing and it was still really good. I think it was better than the second movie.
I take this movie as Canon over the 2nd movie, since they didn't got linda fiorentino as L
I like how they pulled a Real Ghostbusters and said the movie was an in-universe fictional adaptation of real events.
Actress probably didn't want to come back
she wanted more money, but they said no.
The first Men in Black was a self-contained work anyway, it didn't need a sequel, at least with those characters.
The sequel failed because it upended the character dynamic that made the 1st one a hit. Agent J was no longer the rookie everyman audience stand-in and K was braindead for most of the film
They retained for the cartoon, while slowly expanding the universe and giving the agency a cast of supporting characters
It's why MiB3 feels a lot better. Buts J back in the sidecar. Also Boris the Animal is a pretty solid villain.
Honestly, they retained it for the first season of the cartoon and then K just became Cornfed Straightman for the rest of the show
Did it fail? I like every MIB movie.
>Did it fail?
It made less than the original but wasn't a flop. I think it's shit and I have no idea why it was so much worse than the first one. Maybe because they got new writers. MIB 3 was way better. Josh Brolin fricking killed it as K.

What killed it was the downgraded STAS animation they did in the later episodes with the new agents.
Kids WB was the highest-rated saturday morning block at the time and of all time. I don't think anything on a Saturday evening was doing their numbers

How do we get cartoons for men to come back bros
This was a cartoon for kids anon
Boys*
>That episode where literally everyone except J was in on a plan to trick Alpha
>They used J as bait
>J ended up saving the day when it turned out Alpha wasn't tricked
It's the perfect art style if they ever made an Animorphs cartoon.
The early 2000s had a bunch of great cartoons adapted from films.
I think it's fairly good. Shame that K's voice changed in the later seasons. I think western animation is missing shows like this and Godzilla the Series. Good movie tie-ins with creepy designs that take the premise places the movie didn't have time to.
Gregg Berger did a pretty good job, since he had already done a similar voice way before as Cornfed from Duckman
Ya did good slick
I was deeply attracted to Agent L and I hate how it ended with them neuralyzing everyone again. Felt lazy.
Just started watching it after only watching the sweet intro for years (and maybe catching an episode or two as a kid). It's better than I expected, might watch it all. Quickly got used to J's non-Will Smith voice.
>Hold still Agent A
was agent L even human or is she wearing a human skin.
She's human. She's an iteration of the Coroner from the first film.
Hips for days
So where can I watch an upscaled version of the show?
>upscaled
I wanna get to watching this show sometime. The only scene I know is
>Hey, remember those twin towers?
>I don’t think they’re gonna be so tall anymore
It's one of those shows that you can watch every episode for and not remember a fricking thing about later. All I can recall is that L was hot, the worms made coffee jokes, X was annoying, and every episode had the word "Syndrome" in the title.
Oh also the bug queen was disguised as a little girl and the scenes of her men feeding her were weirdly sexual.

I guess that's why people don't bring it up anymore. It's not even bad which makes it even weirder.
Fun fact, Agent X was referenced originally in the shitty RE clone that was MIB the game, and he was a alien there too.
Funnily enough, someone ripped the backdrops from that game to make an RE fangame
Talk about coming full circle
I remember the episode where they do an underwater mission, but only the one scene where Jay says he's like a Barracuda, but Kay says he's more like a trout. That one scene is all I remember of this entire show. Also the sick intro.
3rd season was pretty bad.
how?
Different animation studio, so it looked worse, and slightly different characterization due to status quo snapback.
Bad is possibly the wrong word. Worse.
So how does the naming work? Do they specifically look for people whose name starts with a letter? Are there only 26 agents at all time?
Looking it up, if someone has an alliterative name, then they would be called "Agent Double P" or something like that. There was an agent T who got renamed to "High T"
Guessing that would mean if someone had a full name and each began with D, then they might be called "agent 3D/D3"
Doesn't even actually eat that last one, just slams it into her fricking face hard enough that it explodes. Girl somehow got an F in lunch break at school.
She got excited I guess
Well it was all sugar
I don't really remember it much anymore but it had one of the best intros of a television show.
The plots and art style were more mature than most kids shows, felt a little gritty and austere, cool x-files mystery atmosphere, didn't dumb itself down too much without losing appropriate tone. wish we had more like this. the other adelaide productions weren't quite like it in this way
I liked it,but even as a kid I liked the movie way better
More accurate to the comics than the films
Had one of the best girl
