Last week at All the Rage, I read that there was a rumor going around that Pat Lee wasn't even drawing Cyberforce and being credited as artist. Alex Milne was credited (sometimes) as breakdown artist or background artist, or sometimes not at all. This is one of the pages someone uploaded on an artist blog. This page is what Axel sends to Pat Lee. So what exactly does Pat Lee fucking draw?
I have come to the conclusion that the final ingredient for a kick-ass cartoon is a phenomenal, Ass-kicking, and inspirational opening. I believe that is what's wrong with cartoons these days. Don't get me wrong the Danny Elfman Batman theme was fantastic, but nothing lately has that one song that just sticks in my head for days. So if I can find the band that did the Defenders of the Earth opening Theme! I'm going to hire them to play in my wedding! Can you imagine that? That adrenaline filled song, everyone would want to kick some ass! Yes Defenders of the Earth, in my opinion, has the best fucking opening out of any cartoon. MASK, Gummi Bears, Silverhawks, and Thundercats come close. Where are these guys now? These guys were fucking geniuses! If you want to experience the opening scene and see what I'm talking about just click here Someone please find these guys and hire them to write some kick-ass music for the new Legion and Fantastic Four cartoons! I’d get these guys to play at my funeral, there wouldn’t be a teary eye in the room!
It's another round-table discussion! This week's topic is the depiction of minorities in comic books, which you know we're going to have fun with.
