First footage from The Tick

>>85583669
Noice

don't like the costume. but the footage was…fine

Looks really good, but that suit is still god awful, and almost worse in action.

>>85583669
The suit is really bad.

Like, really bad.

>>85583669
Did they ever sort out that Diefledermaus and American Maid thing?

They should have re-used Warburton's costume. Or at least get rid of the mask. Doesn't work well in live-action.

>>85583669
that was pretty funny

>>85583669
why did they get an old man with no chin to play the tick? this is the worst thing ever

>>85584248
Because the creator of The Tick said so

>>85583993
Batmanuel for life

Patrick Warburton was better.

Why can't they use Putty?

Costume looks like total shit. Why does everyone insist on these crapy over designed costumes these days?

>>85583993
Nope. Still Owned by Disney who are generally not willing to let other people play with their toys.
The new show's produced by Sony so characters from the Warburton show could show up.


>>85584383
Warburton's still involved with the show. He'll probably show up if the show goes to series (If they do a version of "The Tick vs The Tick" He'd be a fun choice to play Barry).

They chose to cast someone else (and a damn inspired casting choice too) because they wanted it to be a total reboot.

>>85584418
The Tick does it because everyone does it (you know it's a parody and all)
Everyone does it because smooth surface look terrible in CGI.

Wait what

What's going on with American maid

>>85584624
There's a bit of a clusterfuck regarding character rights.

All characters created for the comics (e.g The Terror, The Tick, Arthur) belong to Ben Edlund.
All characters created for the 90's cartoon (e.g Die Fledermaus, American Maid) belong to Disney.
All characters created for the 2001 show (e.g Batmanuel, Captain Liberty) belong to Sony.

The new show, being created by Edlund for Sony, but without Disney, can't use cartoon characters.

>>85584785

Wait the cartoon was on fox

When did Disney work on it

Snyder directed Edgy Reimagining of the first 4 issues of Tick when he fought ninjas when?

>>85584248
Yeah.
He's got the voice and the charisma, but the look is all wrong.

>>85584824
Disney didn't work on it, but they bought Fox Family, including Fox Kids in 2001.

> Go it on the mountain!
Ok, that was perfect.

Uuf, that suit. I mean, does it look that bad on purpose? It has to, or else they should fire the costume designer (if they even have one). Yikes!

>>85583669
Why the new actors and new costumes? What's wrong with the old ones? It's not like this is an action series, who cares if they're a little old?

>>85585442
I think they felt like doing something new with the concept, I guess.

Oh wow. I was wondering how he'd sound. I think it's spot on. He sounds like a cheesy silver age hero or narrator.

I think he sounds as good as Warburton or the toon. Dunno why people act like Warburton is the be all and end all for The Tick. I even helped petition the show by mailing spoons to Fox back in the day, but I am open to a new actor.

Don't see why people have such an issue with the costume. I could have like a simpler one better, but this does look kinda modern and it does look more like an actual bug exoskeleton. Kinda neat.

>>85585240
They got the same costume designer from the Warburton series

>>85585442
Because its not a continuation and they wanted to do something different with new interpretations of the character

>>85584540
>If they do a version of "The Tick vs The Tick" He'd be a fun choice to play Barry

oh god I want this

>>85583669
The actors are really good. Even if the costume design is not up to par, it just looks like a really fun show to watch regardless if you like The Tick or not.

Just finished the pilot. The Ticks voice is amazing.

Just got done watching it, It was damn good, be interesting to see where they take it as a full series, and Haley as The Terror is great. I hope amazon picks up it and John Claude Van Johnson, because it's damn fun too.

>>85588008

I never thought anyone could match Coleman's tick voice but this is damn near perfect. Holy shit I was sold in seconds.

>>85585240
>>85585442

It looks ugly and overdesigned, just like a lot of modern superhero costumes. Its clever. The 2000 show's costume was shiny, more saturated, and full of fake musculature, just like the 90's Batman movies.

>>85587415

The Tick may not even be fucking real? Arthur literally gets a tic in his eye whenever they meet. Is this going to be some kind of Fight Club shit? I am thoroughly on Ben Edlund's wild fucking ride tho. Tick's suit is goofy but the dude fucking nails it.

Just finished.
Thought it was pretty good.

The original live action show was a sitcom, and it did it pretty well. But this has used the lessons learned from cape-tv since then to really hone shit down.

But fuck yeah, Arthur and Tick

64 gigs of RAM, but alas, Internets is still made of of snails and sellotape.

I love the whole pisstake of the "grim and gritty" superhero shows they're doing.

Peter is pretty damn good as The Tick too.

>>85589901
Yeah, me too.
It has that whole "serialized cape series" look but it's just taking it for a ride.
In effect making Tick look and feel even more ridiculous. It's awesome.

I didn't like it. And I didn't really get what they where doing was a piss take. Not when half the episode is spent about Arthru's dead father and mental issues.

Maybe I am just being a NOT MUH but the show doesn't really work long form plot and should really focus on being a silly super hero parody.

Also the Tick totally killed a bunch of dudes

>>85583669
That costume still makes we want to vomit. They couldn't just do a simple blue muscle suit? What's with that fucking texture?

To make it look like a carapice.
Neat idea, but unneccesary.

that was pretty good.
Not amazing, but more like abc comedy that finds it's niche after a season. not modern family, but like fresh off the boat.

>>85590086
But the Tick isn't actually supposed to look like a tick, that's the point.

>>85590127
Yeah, it's unnecessary as fuck.
I mean, only way I see it is if the above theory is correct then it makes sense.

>>85590000
It isn't meant to be a piss take. Edlund outright said he was going in a weird direction for this series. My body is ready for it. You don't have to like it. That's okay.

I didn't think it was that great. I like the idea of making fun of grimdark cape tv, but that's not what this felt like to me. It felt like actual grimdark cape tv with occasional comedic scenes.

It was in the comics, then cartoon, then FOX sitcom.

It's one of the founding jokes of the franchise. No matter how many times Tick's story gets re-told, those jokes will always be included when he first steps foot into Arthur's "base".

>>85585948
Go me!

>>85590740
Wow. Original comic Arthur was fat!

>>85586660
I know it's going to be a Prime-exclusive series soon. I wish there was a way for me to support the series without having to pay for a subscription. I want the show to do well, I have zero reason to use Amazon outside of this. I order maybe two things from the site a year and don't watch any of their other shows.

Does anyone know if I'll be able to just buy the episodes one at a time when they come out?

for some reason i was under the impression this would be a feature film. what the fuck is wally pfister doing on this?

>>85590849
I think you can buy season packs outside of a subscription

>>85584801

Warburton is literally like 60 now. He's not ever going to play that role. Don't be stupid.

Watched the Pilot and liked it for the most part despite a few misgivings

Pros:
>The Tick's voice is great
>Arthur is cast pretty well
>The Soundtrack fits the tone well
>Not audibly laughing funny but amusing enough
>The Terror was pretty entertaining for the little amount of time he was in the pilot
>I'm interested to see where the plot goes, especially with the possible mindfucks

Cons
>The costumes are fucking awful
>Really fucking awful
>Literally all the costumes for every character has been terrible so far, they just looks so incredibly cheap
>The Tick's actor isn't all the physically imposing

Why are people acting like Warburton was the de facto Tick when there was a voice actor who played him well before the live-action show?

>>85584560
Nah, he's just a pretender.

>>85591122
Arthur's is just so bad.
The goggles and the wings just look...horrible

>>85591122
>The Tick's actor isn't all the physically imposing
Yeah, I would put that up to the costume design as well. I think everything in the show is great, even the actor, but The Tick himself looks so small. He's taller than Arthur, sure, but a padded chest and shoulders as part of the costume would really help a ton. I wouldn't even mind that his face doesn't really look like the character's if he were just bigger overall.

>>85591354
I mean fuck, why couldn't they have just gone with the original TV show's outfits? They looked goofy, sure, but they fit the tone of the series. These costumes looks like they're trying to play it straight and realistically but it falls flat on its face since they're so cheap looking.

>>85591403
FOX probably owns the rights to the suit itself and I heard the suit was really expensive to make in the first place. Maybe this one is more cost effective, or maybe Ben wanted to do satire on modern day designs for characters like Superman. I mean, Arthur's costume looks WAY more expensive than the FOX version, so.

>>85591459
I'm not saying they need to use the suit exactly, just something that looks enough like it. I think the over the eyes cowl is an improvement for instance. And I'm sure there's been at least some advances in costume advances since then to the point they could make a suit like the first TV for a lot less money.

>>85590676
That's more or less how the comic was; the Tick himself was funny, and there was always some kind of absurd shit going on around him but he lived in a grimngritty late 80s/early 90s comicbook world where weird, oddly 'dark' shit would go on around him. Hell in the very first arc you also had this odd thing where the Tick would start having blackout issues if he let the 'realness' of the world actually get to him. So far this just feels like a straight media/time period update of the comic, just focusing a little more on Arthur, as he had almost zero actual development in the comic.

>>85583669
>>85583669
Gotta say, I know nothing about The Tick, but this preview is uninspiring.

>The Tick does it because everyone does it (you know it's a parody and all)

I would rather see the Tick cognitively subvert this retarded ass convention, than see this "parody" costume for even one episode. I mean this costume is not only stupidly over designed, but it seems like something that was sculpted by a first year art student. I mean, every seem on this shit is painfully rough, and they didn't even try to build up this nigga's weak ass chin.

>>85595518
"This video isn't available due to geographical licensing restrictions. "

>>85583669

I also hated the actor up until he started talking ...

I liked it more than I thought I would. Probably an 8/10 for me Warburton was in the credits as a producer so I really hope he shows up at least for a cameo or something.

>>85595793
I thought his Tick voice was even better than Warburton's.

>>85595663
Same. Someone torrent that shit.

>>85595518
Amazon's user interface is garbage.

>>85596404
As an Amazon Prime subscriber, I totally agree. I mean, their video player is pretty neat, because they have one click options to rewind/fast-forward 10 seconds instantly if you missed something. They also have full IMDB shit about whateveryou are watching; a lot of times they time code this shit, shot for shot.

But their overall prime video menu is pretty shit, and almost always half advertising, despite the fact that the people seeing that shit are already subscribers.

>>85596610
