I recently checked out the new Scooby-Doo and Krypto Too! animated movie and got a kick out of it. The only thing missing was a meeting between the Dog of Steel and the Dog Made of Steel! I thought that this would be a good place to include that missing chapter.
I would shell out sixty cents for this in a New Yawk minute! Especially if it was a two-parter!! I could just picture the next issue featuring Alex Summers teaming up with the rest of Krypto's canine comrades in...
ReplyDelete"Havok & The Dogs of War!"
God I remember the Krypto cartoon.
ReplyDeleteIt was odd for a 2000's cartoon, much less one obviously made for younger kids, to have the credits announced (who wrote it and directed it) during each episodes' title card.
I don't know if it was the show trying to credit the people behind it (because kids wouldn't remember or care until they grow up and obsess over the creators) or what but I cannot forget it and how stupid it was.
@my namesake: Overly harsh much? It was probably just trying to promote literacy in pre-schoolers.
ReplyDeleteHe's right. Just think of the show as having occurred on a variant of Earth 42.
ReplyDeleteFirst, Ross, you're correct; this is the perfect place for this long-overdue team-up (which would be well within DC's reach to do, in a DC/HB crossover). I also definitely could envision a Dynomutt cartoon with Krypto as a guest star, where the two team up to find a missing Blue Falcon.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I'm in full support of Cary's suggestion re: Havok.
@Cary: Why Earth-42?
And in this case, the Ringmaster is helping them almost against his will, because he's in a bad position. Yes, i love it. (Aside from Lockjaw, what other dogs does Marvel have?)
ReplyDeleteIt's the post-Flashpoint home world of a chibi version of the Justice League. Previously known as "The Li'l League."
ReplyDeleteHow about magnus vs. Hanna-barbera beyond’s the jetsons?
ReplyDeleteYou mean, sort of like: "WHAT IF Rosie the Robot was from the same time period as Earth 3's Owlman Beyond?"
ReplyDeleteI don't believe Anon@7:55 was calling the Krypto cartoon stupid; just the practice of reading the credits aloud at the start of each episode.
ReplyDeleteMagnus, Robot Fighter, vs. an Earth 3 Rosie the Robot? Now, that, I could get behind (re: my willingness to see it as a cover-sim)!
ReplyDeleteP.S. @ Bob Buethe: like I said. It was probably an attempt to promote literacy among pre-schoolers. Sort of like Ezra Miller using "Flash" cards.
ReplyDeleteI would understand if it aired exclusively on a pre-schoolers' TV block, but more often than not it aired on relatively normal hours, and it didn't seem to be geared towards the pre-schooler demographic as the show didn't really have all the tropes associated with those types of shows like stopping the show to have the kids participate and things like that.
DeleteEven then, you also never had pre-schooler shows actually describe who wrote and produced the episodes.
Say it's to promote literacy all you want, I don't think that was the intent.
They HAVE both hung out with Scooby-Doo in the past in both cartoons and comics.
ReplyDelete@Cary: Oh, OK. I was thinking of Marvel's Earth-42, the home of the spider that bit the animated-cinematic Miles Morales.
ReplyDelete@Cary & Bob: I can see why you guys would be confused. In the post-Flashpoint DC multiverse, Earth 42 is where the robotic Li'l League was invented by the Empty Hand...as some kind of warped testing ground. Whereas Earth-42, in the Marvel multiverse, is home to the Miles Morales who became the Prowler (instead of the local counterpart of Hobie Brown-616).
ReplyDeleteThe lack of a hyphen in the DC multiverse is supposed to indicate a parallel Earth unaffected by the Dark Metal Crisis. Which, by that logic, would explain Miles Morales-42 being more amoral than Miles Morales of Earth-1610B. Of course, as if that wasn't confusing enough, Jeff Christiansen's UHOTMU website lists Earth-42 as the home of the Hillman Golden Age superheroes adopted by Eclipse Comics!
legion of super pets and the pet Avengers, one day soon it must happen… ( if you haven’t already done it )
ReplyDeletei love this cover and would happily buy this comic
Re: Earth-42:
ReplyDeleteI can only say that Ross might have an opportunity to bring Miles and the Lil' League in a "Crisis on Earth-42!"
@Simon: see STF #3945 (January 31, 2023).
ReplyDelete@Anon256: so, basically, the Prowler of Earth-42 should be more accurately called "Miles Amorales"?
ReplyDelete;-D
@my namesake: A weird request. But, okay.
ReplyDelete"It's to promote literacy all you want."
;-D
@Anon755: LOL!
ReplyDelete@Carycomic: Thank you. It's always nice to be appreciated by one's peers.
ReplyDelete:-)
Snce both of them appeared in Scooby Doo Team Up, this is less than impossible. :)
ReplyDeleteAmen!
