I've been watching AVGN from the point it was called "Angry Nintendo Nerd." The spawn avgn episode was my favorite episode to date. I loved the costumes and the acting from Justin as the clown(he knocked it out of the park). I hope yal do more collaborative episodes.

lol so funny

Shit Pickle shirts

James, the audio in this video is a bit fucky. It bounces from left to right.

@@Ascendedninja6 That design is derived from 70s sci-fi, not 90s. Wrong era.

I feel like Spawn works better in animation than live action. Sure we've got the effects to do it justice now but look at X-Men. All the money in the world and Dark Phoenix is still better as a cartoon. Besides that, Keith David is Spawn. Nobody else could match his performance in the role imo.

Me too. ✌️

Still hurts my heart. Loved the series.

Thank you for not saying "would of finished it." I really appreciate it.

@@zeroattentiongaming820 When I heard Keith David, I was like "Wow, he did The Arbiter from the Halo games AND Spawn??". Keith David is legendary.

You sound poor. Like a.church-mouse who just got made redundant.

agree

It explains a lot that the special effects people were ex industrial light & magic folks basically looking to make a sizzle feel to get more jobs. Unfortunately they made some very poor decisions.

@@Retrorevelations disagree. Pixar had it nailed.

@@SD-tj5dh Pixar did not have to contrast anything. CGI Buzz Lightyear would look really bizarre in a real child's hand. Those movies have the luxury of being 3D animation with no real people or backgrounds. Crossing the two has only gotten remotely convincing as of recently.

CGI is done way better in Terminator 2 & Jurassic Park which both of these were a few years before Spawn came. BUUUUUUT they both had a larger budget too...

Godisempty _ same, it's interesting to revisit them, some stuff is still cool and badass while other aspects haven't aged that well...

Godisempty _ Blade still holds up imo but spawn is pretty bad other than the clown

How about The Crow too??

agreed

Cgi was great and award winning at the time and some still look good like violator melting at the end

I read a few issues as a kid in the 90's. Would you reckon it's a good read to pick it up? How did the story progress? Did it get worse/better by time? I kind of only remember him fighting this one guy with a gun, and they were strapped up on crosses.

I think a Spawn movie is secretly coming out next year.

@@SilkyLew idk about next year but a new Spawn movie is already confirmed. They're going to make it a "horror" and it's confirmed to be rated R.

@@salsaucy2547 Confirmed, but not in production yet. I'm not saying it's NOT gonna happen... but at the same time, I won't be completely convinced until the movie is completed either, because this thing has been talked about for ages, without getting off the ground.

Is Spawn still going? Is it any good?

LOL -- So true.. but I still love his enthusiasm.

As do all impassioned people.

The manga version was actually pretty decent.

Well there isn't that much to choose from

Spawn and The Crow has the best soundtrack.

Both Crow soundtracks are awesome!

Juci Shockwave YES! NiN and Crystal Method - those were good days

Charles Khan lol

I think they could make a good PG-13 Spawn movie if they wanted to. The problem with most of the action and horror movies that get a PG-13 these days is that they didn't start out as PG-13. instead they take scripts that were clearly meant to be r rated movies and dim them down until they can get past the MPAA with PG-13. On the other hand, both infinity war and endgame had some pretty graphic violence(Loki gets choked to death while turning blue and veiny, those devil dog things get their skin burned off going through the barrier, Thanos gets his arm chopped off, etc) but managed to get by with a PG-13 and still be really good. If they started out aiming for PG-13 from the word go with Spawn, they could totally do it justice.

@@erikbrock5444 Just out of curiosity did you know there was an R rated "version" of the Spawn movie?! Well there is and it's pretty bad. Essentially I guess that was during the time that the MPAA thought any movie that had too much time in darkness would automatically get an R rating. (It's kind of confusing there's an interview on the r-rated version where Todd McFarlane talks about it and it's really weird) I mean basically nothing else has changed there's just a lot more scenes in darkness. It's a real wasted opportunity.

Hellboy reboot says 'hi'

@@JohnDoe-wq5eu I had all the toys and recorded the movie off PPV with a VCR. Of course I know about the extended cut. :p I agree, that falls under the umbrella of catering to a rating in the editing room when it should be done in preproduction. Taking a finished PG-13 movie and trying to make it R usually works about as well as taking an r-rated movie and trying to make it PG-13. You have to make the movie you're making, not the movie you wish you were making. Overall, whether we're talking about the extended version or the theatrical version, it's a decent movie for the time and for what it is, but it does deserve a remake, and I hope the one that's supposedly in the works now does the material justice.

@Chelo Ruiz the remake will be rated R but it is going to lean more on horror than action

Yes, one great big kerfuchus

I heard his store is just a total clusterfuch

No Fuchs given

Bob Vance pease take away my pa

Filter's trip like I do is good too

The Prodigy's "One Man Army" is also great and fits the tone of the movie.

I love and still love the whole soundtrack. Had all the tracks mentioned on minidisk while in middle/high school.

@@tehbigshow Still have the CD to this day. Though I can't remember where I put the mini poster that it came with.

Which version Clown or Demon Violator?

I knew the cut version by heart, so when I watched the unrated version, the only thing I noticed was that they show Priest's body with the bullet-hole in her head after the major shootout. No gore, just a small bloody hole.

Martin Sheen kisses his palm and places it on her face as she's carted away on a gurney.

Unrelated but, do unrated cuts VHS/DVDs exist for Cobra or Hard Target?

Only difference between G and PG is one curse word

@@Gruntvc Yes there's one for Hard Target. Picked up the bootleg VHS for it at a MegaCon as a kid.

@Neoand12 I heard its going to focus on one of the detectives played by Jeremy Renner and spawn will be more a side character

An R rated Spawn movie for today's crowds would be amazing.

Ah man anyone basically except Foxx or Will Smith. So great that Smith passed on Matrix Back In The Day phew that would have Been horrible. Foxx imo is to smug and into himself and it makes his performances cringey (tho Ray was really Good). I dunno cast someone new or someone cool like Michael Jai White that man has Been in cool fight movies.

We need a kick butt Spawn video game. I wish I had that Dreamcast or PS2 game...

Neoand12 Jamie Foxx has been confirmed to play Spawn for a while now. Also, I would love a new Spawn game too, but as it’s own thing of course. Doesn’t need to be like the Arkham games to be good.

He can be hit-or-miss in these.

He's played similar already. He grossed me out as Penguin

How about Gilbert Godfried or Joe Pesci?

probably just tired of getting cut off by Tony. Why bother start a statement if he is just gonna finish it for him anyway?

I concur

He's like that a lot

James has become a slave to the Tripods! Its only a matter of time before he is capped!

Probably not his favorite subject to talk about.

He was awesome as the clown!!!!

I loved when he ate the maggoty pizza.

Same with Justin.

I feel like it’s that way anytime Tony picks a movie that the other guys don’t care about. Which seems to be frequently...

Anthony Leonardi 🤣

I'll race you to the store to rent it!

I was there. Still have my ticket stub. Damn I'm old.

Lol I had that tape

Who remembers the Rammstein performance xD

@@RobbieSuede13 Bück Dich!!

He should be in a Best of the Worst

James schedule is full for a year

Their styles, while seemingly similar on the surface, could clash in a weird way. But I'd still be down. A BOTW sit-in, or a re:view, or even a half in the bag guest.

He doesn't really have the same dark, mischievous style of humor that they have. He's also not as cynical.

Those guys suck

Truth be told, it was very much a rip off of the sentient Venom symbiote, with a satanic spin to it, as well as a cape and chains added for good measure.

Yes! Such an underrated flick!

Same here.

Nothing gets past you... It's almost like they said they would at the end of the video

But is it worse than FMV Hell? 😏

3 of my favorites - AVGN, Super Best Friends, and OSW

Check out Edgelords, he's still around

@Marcelo Naveira I kind of like it. He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject (Spawn) and that makes him exited like a puppy about to pee himself.

I personally find tony the most enjoyable one to listen to

I remember my Violator... toy... and ex...

I actually like Tony slightly more than James cuz James never has anything to add. Justin is by far the worst

Tony is a very fun and nice man. His content is hillarious

a buddy of mine has all the mcfarlane figures minus like 10, his father secretly subscribed to McFarlane toys for years and when he passed we found a bedroom in his house with like 60% of a complete collection, his father had all the really rare ones(they send those to subscribers)

@@XeviousvSBlackmanta A lot of one-off independent animations.

@@cthulhupthagn5771 Check the dates. Liquid TV was done in '94. The Maxx premiered in '95.

As the biggest Spawn fan, I will say, Blade was a better movie.

@@erichquinones598 don't be that guy that plays videos out loud?

How fortunate

Well it was a good accident the HBO series was good

Dude, I went to Suncoast video and did the same when I was a kid. Thought it was the movie.

He was the passionate fan here, it was appropriate to let him lead.

Don't know if you notices, but in most episodes they usually have the person most familiar with the subject guide and almost host the review. So most likely it was planned that way from the start. I think it helps give the reviews a bit more substances and makes them more watchable, because I rather watch someone who is super passionate about something talk about it than someone who vaguely remembers it or doesn't really have any experiences or isn't really knowledgeable about it. You also gotta remember, the most important part of these reviews (at least IMO), isn't just to talk about what they thought about the movie but also what they remember about when it came out or any nostalgic experiences they have with it. Lastly, I believe they said in a previous video that they take turns picking out the movies and while they all do watch the movie and add to it, the person who picks it is one who "guides" or directs it (in a loose manner, since most of their conversation is ad-libbed and off the cuff comments). So I'm guessing Tony might have been the one who picked this one out.
