Will Swamp thing be pulling people's limbs off?
It's been a minute sinceI read Moore's Swamp Thing, but yeah, there were some pretty gruesome parts to it. Remember, it caused DC to put a "Mature Readers" label on a comic for the first time.
Nah, he'll make a small fleck of pollen in your nose turn into a tree and burst your skull.
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing blew me away. Scary stuff.
Invunche.
Creepy. I had to Google that since I haven't reread those comics for 20 years.
They made a bunch of kids' cartoons in the '80s and '90s out of movies inappropriate for children, including Rambo, RoboCop, Highlander, and Police Academy. I think there were even tentative plans for an Aliens cartoon, but someone came to their senses that time.
I think there was only 5 episodes of that Swamp Thing cartoon produced. It there were action figures from Kenner and other tie ins so it seemed to have a larger presence than it did.
I am not sure if it has been mentioned yet. But any Swamp Thing productions from the 80s and 90s are one of the few DC adaptations that are unlikely to appear on this DC streaming channel. Neither the two films, the live action series or the cartoon was produced or ever released by Warner Bros. Same used to be true of the Supergirl movie and the Superboy tv series. But Warner Bros acquired all rights to those from Ilya Salkind before Superman Returns was released.

Wow, they're way off-base about Godzilla: The Series, which in my experience is much more highly regarded by Godzilla fans (myself included) than the Tri-Star movie it's a sequel to. They're also slightly off-base about the second season of Bill & Ted -- the live-action TV series that the voice cast came from was filmed before the animated season 2, but not aired until a year after it.
The Beetlejuice animated series was my introduction to the characters. By the time I finally saw the movie, I was surprised that Betelgeuse was actually the villain, that his relationship to Lydia was that of a sexual predator rather than the crude but caring best friend of the cartoon's preteen Lydia. Still, the show was a great deal of fun. I never liked the grossout humor, but its nonstop punning was right up my alley.
So, apparently, the service has launched, and CBR has a review of it at its present state,[URL="http:// generally favorable, but there's apparently not a lot of content, yet. That, though, we knew before-hand, and is sure to change in the next few days and weeks"] generally favorable, but there's apparently not a lot of content, yet.

The comics situation is as I expected. I'll wait, see if it gets better.
