TV: Twisted Metal - Renewed for Season 2

[The Crypto Guy]

The teaser Trailer just got released...I guess they are making it an action/comedy? Not sure what to think, loved the video games way back in the day though. But I think it's going to be a massive failure.

I had no idea this was going to be a thing. It doesn't look like it's going to be good.

So they are just going to make movies/ tv shows of all my favorite video games from my youth?

I'm going to give it a full watch, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are attached to the development and they are great at blending action and comedy (except for Ghosted). It has potential to give the games characters (which there are a lot of them) to give them their own screen time within the plot and I think it has potential.

Spyro the Dragon tv show confirmed?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

um...ok.

 

[Satans Hockey]

um...ok.

He's not doing the voice, Will Arnett is but that's professional wrestler Samoa Joe as sweet tooth lol

 

[The Crypto Guy]

So apparently, this show is doing very well. 93% on the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Might have to give it a shot at some point.

The trailers look so junk, too try hard type of comedy

Trailers do look like ass but everyone is saying the show is actually well done.

I can't lie, it'd be pretty damn cool to have a badass Twisted Metal show to watch. I loved that game as a kid.

Watched the first two episodes last night, its not half bad, if I didn't have to work this morning I might have watched the whole season, the 30 minute episodes fly by

The way it’s been recieved so far, it’s all but likely. Watched the first 2 eps yesterday, i liked it.

One of the hosts of a podcast I listen to, Doughboys, is featured in this. I’ve been meaning to get around to it. Glad to hear largely positive.

 

[Senscore]

It's a dumb, fun, and occasionally funny show that is fully aware it is dumb and fun and in that respect gives people what they want, which is true to its video game source.

I would call that a success.

A lot of respect for Samoa Joe as the physical manifestation of Sweet Tooth. Will Arnett does a fine job as his voice, but Joe really brings a lot of screen presence to him.

I'm on episode 4, and I'm really enjoying it. I've alway loved Twisted Metal, though. I played it a ton when i was a kid. I'm glad they didn't screw it up (at least thus far).

 

[DynastyCentralSports]

I loved it! it was not too serious but also great fun, corny jokes, so many easter eggs, it was great. I cannot wait for Season 2

I never played the game back in the day, I was under the impression it was basically just a car combat / demolition derby style thing, was there actually a storyline in the game similar to the show with the courier and having to drive and deliver stuff?

No there wasn't that kind of storyline in the games. The story revolved around a kingpin named Calypso who hosted the vehicle combat tournament and would grant the winner one wish. This wish, of course, would always be fulfilled in some type of twisted way that turned out for the worse for the winner.

Each character had their own backstory and reason for wanting to participate in the games.

Just finished it…very good!!! There better be a second season!

This season was the origin story next season should be about the tournament and maybe more characters back stories hopefully.
