Apparently this summer, MTV is bringing them back

Opened the thread thinking it was going to be about a sequel to this:

Carry on.

Carry on.

The lack of a proper sequel to this movie is mankind's greatest crime.

I think they're back ended on the best note it could. A sequel would just have sullied it's good name.

I love Beavis and Butt-Head, and I have to say I am quite worried.

MTV seems to have the wrong idea about Beavis and Butt-Head. I feel like they're going to turn it into the two of them just sitting around and dissing on pop culture, based on the fact that they have stated that B and B will be watching more than just music videos.

Jimor · « **Reply #6 on:** 26 Feb 2011, 02:41 »

Well what else could they do? Using the original B&B format would mean that MTV would have to actually SHOW MUSIC VIDEOS.

bicostp · « **Reply #7 on:** 26 Feb 2011, 09:31 »

They'll just cut the music video segments to fit more commercials in.

Something tells me this revival will be much rockier than when they brought Futurama back.

Kugai · « **Reply #8 on:** 26 Feb 2011, 14:14 »

Now all we need back is Daria

Maybe in Anime Format.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #11 on:** 26 Feb 2011, 20:56 »

No, guys, what I am saying is that they will probably have Beavis and Butt-Head JUST doing music videos and stuff. From reading about it, it says stuff like that they'll be watching contemporary music videos (Justin Bieber, etc.) as well as tv shows like Jersey Shore and stuff. I hope this isn't the case, but I am pretty terrified that it will be.

Because literally nothing about Daria screams "ANIME!" Seriously though, why would that be a good idea aside from the fact that you would probably masturbate to it?

ALoveSupreme · « **Reply #15 on:** 27 Feb 2011, 07:15 »

A couple years into my time at college they started re-airing Daria on the N. It had been a few years since it stopped airing on MTV and I was a huge fan at the time. Once I started watching the repeats, though, I felt like it was really poorly paced. Or something. It didn't hold up at all, unfortunately.

Wasn't most of their bad video reviews, like, weird out there stuff most people hadn't heard of? I always thought that was the idea, at least, too...like, as they made fun of it, the viewer was just supposed to be like, "what the hell is this?"

Probably wouldn't work with a Bieber video or anything like it or just come off really contrived.

Ahhh, but there is nothing that says that it couldn't be updated to an Anime - Perhaps a follow on series from the original or a 'Reboot'. After all, it they can bring back two morons with barely a braincell between 'em, why not the better series.

I think Clone High's time has passed. While I agree that they SHOULD have made more than one season, I feel that it is too late now.

I read that in a bookshop once (I was bored and it annoyed the hell out of ben) and they didn't even condense it. At the end of the volume nothing really happened (surprise surprise), and they were just going to the meadow for the big sparkly reveal.

What's worse is that there is a graphic novel biography of SMeyer. I think it was one of those wacky animated-y ones. Pure disgusting shit.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #36 on:** 07 Mar 2011, 22:14 »

I never watched Beavis and Butthead (before my time). I'm not sure how a new version of it (or Daria) would work. As I understand it, B+B was very much a product of its time. Daria definitely was. I enjoyed Daria, because I was old enough to remember the pop culture of that time, even if it was 10 years ago. But I don't see how it would work to make a new series.

Kugai, why would you think it's a good idea for it to be an anime? All you've said is "why not?" Give us a why.

Kugai · « **Reply #37 on:** 07 Mar 2011, 22:56 »

Basically, Daria was one of the few Animated Series of that era that I really had an interest in. I got bored with The Simpsons after about the third season. After all, in the end The Simpsons was a 'One Trick Pony' of a cartoon, and after you've heard Homer go "Doh!" for the umpteenth time, it gets real old real fast.

I guess I have a soft spot for Daria because of it. I never really was a fan of Bevis and Butthead, but Daria was a different kettle of fish.

Daria is, I think a workable option moved to an Anime Format and perhaps, if it came to it, updated to today. Very few Animated Series from that era could be brought into our present era, and the two morons are, in my opinion, unworkable in todays era. After all, haven't we got enough cartoon/animated/LIVING morons on TV at the moment??

This is just my personal opinion, I know there will be some out there who won't and don't share it, but as far as I'm concerned, of the two I'd rather see the cynic and her friends back than those two morons.

Why Anime Format? Why not??! Admittedly it's not everyones cup of tea, but if you are going to bring it back in style, why not go the whole hog and update it to Anime Style? Hell, if you're going to update the PPG or Kim Possible into that style, why not bring back another of the best in that style.

That's not a valid reason for making it into an anime. What could changing the format into anime-style bring to the show to improve it, compared to just restarting it in the original style or changing it to make it a live action show?

Didn't the Brits try a Live Action Daria ?

I think we should update Princess Mononoke into a western animation style like king of the hill.

Tom · « **Reply #41 on:** 07 Mar 2011, 23:16 »

Shows, movies whatever can have a visual style that is pretty much a strong part of its identity. Imagine if Pushing Daises looked like Bones, that's what "updating" Daria to an anime would be like. Daria was a show about 90's American alternative culture, the series visual style reflected this and has aged well (if at all). In order to make the show work as an anime you'd have to overhaul it from the ground up. Daria is what it is, you can't change it that way and still have the same or a similar show.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #42 on:** 08 Mar 2011, 07:54 »

It seems that Kugai has honestly come to believe that anime is the highest form of entertainment, for some reason or another. I don't believe there is any actual logic toward this bias other than an intensely troublesome obsession with anime.

No, I knowdamn well that some cartoons etc would be damned cringeworthy as Anime. It's just that I personally believe that Daria would work as an Anime/Anime Style cartoon if it were to be updated.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #47 on:** 08 Mar 2011, 21:23 »

Fantastic. Now explain to the rest of us your reasoning for thinking so without using the words "Why not" because that's not a reason at all

Ikrik · « **Reply #48 on:** 08 Mar 2011, 23:34 »

Yeah, seriously, how exactly would it work?

You're taking something that has it's own unique and interesting flavor and then changing half of it. The style it was drawn in originally had a lot of personality and charm and if they decided to bring it back they could it improve it by giving it a face-lift or exaggerating the style.

Changing the art-style would also change the feel of the show. Change can be really good but you really think anime is what's best? Why do you think anime is a better fit than cartoon? Do you believe that anime is "better" than the cartoon style?
