I just watched the first ep of this show back when I was a kid but you don't needed to have watched this to hate the movie if you read the comics you knew how bad they got everything in the movie.
Been working my way through the comics and am currently on issue 51. It seems the animated series is more grim dark and gruesome. Even the language is more intense and openly vulgar than in the comics. Spawn seems more irritable and brooding in the animated series as well which I prefer. They also went into more detail with Spawn's interactions with Billy Kincaid and meeting Cyan. I think in the comic it implies that Cyan was going to be Kincaid's next victim and then we see him strung up dead by Spawn in Chief Banks' office. That's as far as it goes. Animated series takes liberties with it and adds some needed interactions. I don't believe the "Sad Man." bit was in the comics or Spawn sadly telling Cyan to go to her mommy. I'm enjoying the comics, but the animated series really refined and took the source material to the next level. Shame it only covers a very small bit of the comic series.
I wish but it'd just return as woke, it'd start talking about how white people need to pay for george floyd and other reparations and muh black lives madder
Seriously, it is impossible to not like Carob. He's just a big, gentle, great-uncle type who always tries to help Al in any way he can. I love that guy.
You guys can be like him too if you really want to. But his infinite generosity comes at a price. Those people who see hell on earth, that are cast away by society. But in their shithole of dumbster life, some try to cooperate and help eachother. It's nothing our comfortable iPhone and VR owners would understand.
It's not even the great acting or music score that makes it good, the whole context and ironic twist behind the scene is what really sells it for me. There aren't many scenes in media that can sum-up "bittersweet" like this one.
It would be bad-ass if they made a video game for Spawn and make it like the Arkham series but have it very dark and gory. Have the city set out like the Batman games and have the setting constantly at night time. It would be amazing!
problem is he was already used in video games during the ps1, ps2 times. and all panned bad, and the live action film didn't help it as well, so Todd is extremely cautious on who he wants to licence his character 2. honestly if anything video game wise he has the best chance at a guest DLC for Mortal Kombat 11
Man, that shot of Spawn slithering down from the trees and back up is creepy as hell. The silence, the chains following behind him, the way his cape looks like dripping blood as he does, it does such an amazing way in short time showing just how deadly and terrifying he is.
My favorite part was when Spawn saved the girl, and sent her back to his wife, Wanda. It was a happy moment that symbolized the end of a horrifying nightmare for the girl. But also a sad moment for Spawn, symbolizing how he may never have a child of his own with the love of his life.
Anti-Heros are the most compelling, relatable characters ever. Even though they've done some tragic things the past like Spawn, they still have some parts of their humanity that still give them a purpose to fight back against the monsters they face head on and it can save them one day, just like Al saving Cyan from that perverted child-killer.
Man, 20 years later and the show is as dark as ever. It remains grim and its treatment of political and criminal issues feels way too real. That's what makes it so spooky.
I never had HBO. So this is what I was missing?! Adult animation, written for adults, excellent in every respect! Best cartoon I've seen in many years. Most definitely worth watching, if you're a grown up! Thanks for sharing.
It's literally the same as saying "books", "shows", "music" or "Cinema". They're a medium or a way of art. Both have no age. (Not Even "My oppinion", simply just a Law in Art)
As Todd Mcfarlane, had mentioned in one of his interviews on the Spawn animated series he said that Keith David, was the perfect choice because of his voice bringing out the Spawn character to life.
Twitch: *Breathes* Fat Cop: Shut up and order me Two sunny side up eggs on top of a cow cooked in a chicken baked in a stew medium rare with a donut with chocolate sprinkles and coat it all with sugar *iM ON a DiEt*
Todd McFarlane's Spawn was an animated television series which aired on HBO from 1997 through 1999. It was based on the Spawn comic series from Image Comics, and was nominated for and won an Emmy in 1999 for Outstanding Animation Program (longer than one hour). An unrelated series titled Spawn: The Animation is in production since 2009, with Keith David reprising his role as the titular character. Like the comic book, the series features graphic violence, sexual scenes, and extensive use of profanity. Todd McFarlane's Spawn was ranked 5th on IGN's list of The Greatest Comic Book Cartoons Of All Time. Game of Thrones has 67 episodes so far over 7 seasons with an 8th on the way yet HBO'S Spawn ONLY GOT seasons 3 with 18 episodes.. Whoever greenlighted the cancellation way back in 1999 should burn and burn HE OR SHE They will BURN
Do you know more about future projects about Spawn? I watched the 1997 live action movie a decade ago and with Spawn's release in MK 11 now I wanna see more of this character
Spawn's interaction with the cop at 28 minutes in...fuckin sublime. "Who made you God, little man?" doesn't even hurt him much. treats him like killing him would be beneath them. uses him as a living warning for the others. just perfect, everything I love about a true antihero
@@shadowofdread7018 Its not bait, your gay comment caught me off guard. If you're not some naive kid then you're an idiot who should shut up and watch the show. I fOuNd tHiS gEm fRoM DaH mOrTaL KoMbAt.
azzlhe marohomaru so like she got pregnant and he forced her an abortion. He also almost never spent time with her and left her alone. And also in the comics he camouflages as her new husband and has sex with her.
Nothing paradoxical about it, you can say the same about any average joe holding a gun or joystick for the military - the only difference is that an assassin acknowledges he is getting paid to murder people, and usually far more specifically than anything the military takes part in. The sort of self righteous fools that think they are doing good for their country by going and shooting up and bombing someone elses country are the real whack jobs of the world in my opinion.
"Warriors can feel forces massing against them. The agonizing wait for battle becomes a way of life. Turning and twisting their dark souls, feeding the tense rage that boils deep in every hell spawn; A rage.. at the unfairness of their plight....and a feeling still deeper.....that they earned it" best quote ever
This shows how powerful the human mind and soul is. Even in a body straight out of hell he chooses to fight for good. I will never lose hope in humanity!
Watching 'Spawn' attacking the pervert, while the 'DEMON' clown is watching and 'Roling on the Floor Laughing' shows that He is REALLY enjoying this! Is there more concerning this than were aware of?
Hbo was awesome on weekends in the 90's not only airing this but also The Chris Rock Show, Tales from the Crypt, Def Comedy Jam, Oz, Arliss, The Larry Saunders Show ,the Sopranos and boxing matches. I miss the old Hbo.
You'd think by now we'd get a Spawn movie during the comic book movie era but it's taking too long, hopefully our patience will be rewarded because Spawn deserves do much respect
Yep not to mention the mentally ill are 4-10 × more likely to be attacked. At the same time they are 4-10 less likely to attack someone but all the media says is how they are violent, dangerous and ruin everything for the more fortunate.
@Roy Batty ok got it. On the flip side though do you want to be locked up in Arkham if I hit you in the head and a crooked doc calls you mentally ill? Counterpoints to all points really. I think the answer takes a lot more work then one would first imagine.
World wide human reality never changes. Perhaps society might reduce each year more unwishable social violent events rates but will never disappear 🫥 it.....the fact .....this is not paradise
@@misfit7714Dude are u foreal? Nah are u serious? Can't believe you asked me that. Nah, I thought we was talking about Ed Edd N Eddy Man!😂 like is that trick question? Or what? Cuz if I didn't know what Hey Arnold was, then I wouldn't be a real American! Couldn't even consider it, I mean as Hey Arnold been around on Nickelodeon Man & then this is a back in the day Cartoon I mean come on, ya know? I mean it's like u should've at least seen it by now but I have, just saying. End of story, I didn't see any reference to Hey Arnold in this episode of Spawn is all I was saying. That's what I meant & I still don't get it.😑😐😕
Honestly this series was made on hbo so HBOMAX or Syfy is the only place in my opinion were it should be not to mention the same people who made this series should be the only ones doing this exclusively not to mention spawns own comic book writers should be the only ones handling it in my opinion
They need a good studio, a big budget and some TLC. Stay true to the source. These people need to stop trying to feed us their version of an already established character. The Comic book staff knew what they were doing when they produced the product. Don't veer too much. Do that movie companies and you'll have a HIT!!! You have the tech to do these films well. Do it. I'd stick to McFarlands vision!
Batman: I'm the World's Greatest Detective. Spawn: I'm Hell's Greatest Soldier. Batman: I know Kung Fu. Spawn: I'm good with Chains and Bullets. Batman: I have every single Bat vehicle you could name. Spawn. My suit is alive and takes me anywhere. Batman: I'm rich. Spawn: I'm dead. Batman: You win.
This is by far the greatest adult animated show I've ever seen. Nothing will ever top this. I wish they had continued it. Spawn isn't just a compelling character, his story with its characters is rich across time itself. Definitely my all-time favorite fictional character outside of Marvel and DC.
I'm being 100 percent serious here. When I was like eight or nine, ten at the very oldest, long before I had even heard of the Spawn animated series, which ironically given the fact that I was born in 1990, was airing on TV at right around that time, my father who my mother was separated from, sent me as a gift in the mail about three or four Spawn comics which I became obsessed with and read over and over again. I can't even remember what happened to them or what issues they were, but at the time I was horrified and fascinated at all the uncensored nudity, violence, and swearing which was the complete opposite of the stuff I usually saw on Nickelodeon at the time. For years after growing up I completely forgot I ever owned any Spawn comics but then more recently when I learned about the Spawn animated series from wikipedia, mostly because Keith David, who voiced Goliath from Gargoyles also voiced Spawn, it all came flooding back to me, as though a barrier in my mind had been shattered instantaneously.
@@TF80s dude same with me i was born in 97 saw the movie thought it was so epic and just found this series Friday but only just now being able to watch it...if the made a movie that was rated r it would've been a master piece
9:10 detective arrives on scene Officer: Detective, what happened here? Detective: it appears that this man fell from a tree, broke his hand, and shot himself. Officer: all at the same time!? Detective: No, There are 2 bullets missing in his gun, so he likely missed the first time, was startled and fell. Officer: but why would he try to kill himself. Detective: (sees broken camera) he's a photographer. Case closed.
Well good thing Al, stopped the photographer before he could get to Jason Wynn or the senator with those photographs he took of Wanda with the evidence. SPAWN💀
The fact that despite only meeting Spawn twice and seeing some of his supernatural abilities, the only thing Cyan can say about him is that he's sad drives the scene home for me
Ive said it before but who else thought it was cool when Violator broke the 4th wall and referenced the comic books? “...that wasn’t in the goddamn script!...” Referencing Spawn killing Billy in the comic!
@@wander300 Spawn didn't just kill him, he shredded him into pieces and put his limbs and head on Sam and Twitch desk with a note ending in ".... I made him scream". The comic book took no prisoners.
I just quit my job at amazon. I’ve finally had enough of their bull crap. I Worked there for a year. Everyone i knew is gone, quit and or fired. Now i gotta rest and look for a new job elsewhere. Thanks for uploading this. Spawn was a good movie, didn’t know there was cartoons. I held on as long as i could, but now i am free… Everyone i once knew is gone, i had no more reason to keep fighting. A job shouldn’t feel like a battle to the death everyday. That’s what working at amazon was like, a prison.
I'm not like most people who have been a fan of Spawn forever. I've only gotten into him and I have to say. I absolutely love everything about him. This cartoon is probably the best I have ever seen. The scenery, the people and the fact there isn't much music is all too good.
I've always loved the interplay between light and shadow depending on who is on screen. And Keith David is amazingly delightful in his voice acting roles. Spawn and Goliath from Gargoyles are top notch.
Same here. I started crying when Spawn said to her "You...you go to your Mommy now. She'll take care of you. You're gonna be alright now." And then Cyan with the silent "Thank you." Damn. I'm crying again just typing this. Beautiful scene. Just beautiful. 😥😢😭😭🥺🥺
I remember seeing the Spawn movie when I was about 8 years old and remembering how fkn cool it was. My Parents had HBO, and remember watching the animated series for the first time and just being blown away by it.
-CASTRADOMIS- all he got was tossed into a wall and shot in the head?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!! After everything that he did, in a series as dark as this, you’d EXPECT him to get a terrible, slow, painful, dramatic death! Not some quick little cop out like that!
Spawn would’ve let Violator win if he massacred Billy, the whole point of Billy kidnapping Cyan was because Violator wanted to see Spawn absolutely lose it.
I didn't even realize that her earrings, Angela's earrings are basically the New HellSpawn's mask. The love for Al Simmons/Keith David. That's cool, I really didn't even catch that.😊😊😊
@@michaelsoria807 I wanted to see more of her myself, maybe a few other minor characters like Charles the Pimp? I think maybe he could've lasted longer.😏
Back in the early 2000s I had to import this series all the way to germany on vhs, because it wasn’t available over here. I showed it my friends and they absolutely loved it. We had Spider-man cartoons but nothing like this! I just finished it here on RUclips! Almost 20 years later!
I remember my mom buying me this series at a garage sale when I was like 5 years old. I was a big Spawn fan back then and we both thought it was going to be a light hearted cartoon series. When I got home I started watching it with my brother and we both were in awe after seeing all the violence and nudity in the first episode. I’m pretty sure my dad threw the VHS away after that episode.I don’t know what triggered me to RUclips this but I’m glad I did. This series kicks ass.
OMG the ending made me cry so much! Up till now the series has been so gritty and tough, but when Al gives Cyan the ring and she's reunited with her parents, it was so emotional, sweet, and sad. 😢❤ This series is so good!
Its even more depressing when you realize hes not only saying goodbye to the child he and his wife could never have but always wanted AND saying goodbye to the only reason he came back to earth and became a Hellspawn in the first place
This series had me in my feels man, Spawn was AWESOME. One of those shows I can watch repeatedly, Spawns story is heartbreaking, exciting - scary at the same time. All the voice actors were tight, David Keith as Spawn was top notch.
Everything about this series was awesome, the script, the voice acting, the violence, the clown/violator.. dark af. I rediscovered this series 10 years ago and been waiting ever since for more, but it’s never gonna happen :/ This is what the actual movie should’ve been like, but Hollywood ruined it.
I always used to pick up spawn comics from the super market when I was mad young. My mother had NO clue how violent and mature the content in those comics were. If she had known it would have def been banned from my house growing up lol. I remember the comics clued me in to this HBO series and I would stay up SUPER late and always hope I could catch the animated episodes at random. I was waaay too young to be reading and watching Spawn, but I loved how gritty and raw it was. I had NEVER seen an Anti Hero before and I was really sucked into the Idea of spawn when I was just a kid. A Renegade Hell spawn General who turns his back on Satan and his armies and struggles against his dark nature and tries to do good with his Hell powers to make amends for his past. All I knew back then was Superman, Batman and spider man. The Spawn series and comics blew my 10 year old mind!
@@oatsthedog Hm... Funny how a comment can be a bit of a time capsule. However, I would argue that companies now don't want quantity or quality. Given what I have seen, they want to send a message. The fever dream of utopia that they want to make a reality.
@@oatsthedog Which is why I call it a fever dream. A lot of ideas that make up the thing is based on false ideas and lies about human nature. One that greatly angers me is the idea that men hate their women, as a lot of damage has been done thanks to that lie.
Aside from the fact that this HBO series of Spawn is a very intense Kick-Ass series, I can't help but to be drawn into all the the characters so easily. Twitch of course with his genius, the homeless alley people that I feel sorry for and so on.
Been a fan of Spawn since '92. I never had HBO and sadly missed this show. I saw the first few episodes at a friends house a while back, thanks for this Truckin Dad! I am hoping that Spawn makes a come back the next few years with the reboot film!
Are you a comic fan because if you are you should have known about this comic character n your days even as a kid Wasn’t even born In that era and I know about this character
Yea these comics used to be at tenth planet and i remember there would be more spawn comics than anything at that comic store did i watchbit religiously no but i watched and read enough to know
Who remembers hbo back in the late 90s and early 2000s? I was a kid but caught as much as I could and even then I could tell it was good television. Spawn is a great example. Keith David's voice brought some real weight to the titular character. Some real emotion and dark story here.
"It's NOT. EVEN. HIS. KID!!!" That hurt as such a fan of Al/Spawn, but dammit that was so hysterical & the Clown rolling & laughing after makes it even funnier 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I never saw this show when it first aired (I was 5 at the time it debuted and didn't watch a lot of adult animation back then), in fact, I didn't know it actually existed until I discovered it years later. Finally watched the series in 2009 when I bought it on DVD (making it the first HBO series I bought on DVD, followed by The Sopranos) and watched the entire series. It was excellent, and it quickly became one of my favorite animated series of all-time and it was quickly enlisted into my Top 5 animated series of all-time. To me, Spawn truly defines adult animation in North America.
Try to remember that the sickness isnt all there is to the world. Theres also beauty and love and nobility. And each of us can bring into the world whichever we choose- sickness or goodness.
Many animals show compassion gorillas dolphins whales dogs ect. I'd rather feel good and try to be good myself and you know be conscious of how you act and treat others rather than be an asshole while in the end it really doesn't matter right?
This animated series reminds me with its atmosphere of the first The Darkness game on PS3/Xbox 360. It was also based on the comic book, but it was thoroughly reworked and a more grounded plot was brought to the forefront.
One of My favorite aspects of this Show is the way they Portray just how Gritty/Dirty this City is. In a lot of these scenes, It's like I can almost smell & feel the Moisture and the Filth of the Alleys. No other Show has done that for Me like Spawn has & I absolutely Love it for that. My Mom and Dad started watching Spawn when She was pregnant with Me. Now here I am, 23 Years Old watching it Myself. I can see now why Her and My Dad Loved it so Much. It's an amazing Series!!
I remember catching this on HBO at midnight on a Friday back in like 1998 and 1999,i was like 13 or 14 and always high as a kite lol brings back so much memories, love this cartoon

The director's version was better then the theatrical version.

Like the comic book, the series features graphic violence, sexual scenes, and extensive use of profanity. Todd McFarlane's Spawn was ranked 5th on IGN's list of The Greatest Comic Book Cartoons Of All Time.
Game of Thrones has 67 episodes so far over 7 seasons with an 8th on the way yet HBO'S Spawn ONLY GOT seasons 3
with 18 episodes..
Whoever greenlighted the cancellation way back in 1999 should burn and burn HE OR SHE They will BURN
Do you know more about future projects about Spawn? I watched the 1997 live action movie a decade ago and with Spawn's release in MK 11 now I wanna see more of this character
Spawn's interaction with the cop at 28 minutes in...fuckin sublime. "Who made you God, little man?" doesn't even hurt him much. treats him like killing him would be beneath them. uses him as a living warning for the others. just perfect, everything I love about a true antihero

It's interesting how he was an Assassin but also a loving husband. The complexity and paradox of human nature
@@TannerLindberg That turned out to be less true in Resurrection.
sex and violence go pretty well together
@@TannerLindberg i havent read it yet, but why hes a terrible and awful person? Can you spoil me a little bit sir? Please
azzlhe marohomaru so like she got pregnant and he forced her an abortion. He also almost never spent time with her and left her alone. And also in the comics he camouflages as her new husband and has sex with her.
Nothing paradoxical about it, you can say the same about any average joe holding a gun or joystick for the military - the only difference is that an assassin acknowledges he is getting paid to murder people, and usually far more specifically than anything the military takes part in.
The sort of self righteous fools that think they are doing good for their country by going and shooting up and bombing someone elses country are the real whack jobs of the world in my opinion.
I loved this and how respectful it was and how closely it followed the comics and how respectful it was to the source material
"Warriors can feel forces massing against them. The agonizing wait for battle becomes a way of life. Turning and twisting their dark souls, feeding the tense rage that boils deep in every hell spawn; A rage.. at the unfairness of their plight....and a feeling still deeper.....that they earned it"
best quote ever
I love it......
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR ETERNITY AND INFINITY FOR THIS MASTERPIECE OF A COMMENT.

Has its moments.
Only two I truly admire is Keith, and the one who voices violator

This shows how powerful the human mind and soul is. Even in a body straight out of hell he chooses to fight for good. I will never lose hope in humanity!

I hope Keith David is apart of the new Spawn movie to come out eventually. It would really do the character justice I feel.
Nope it's Jamie Foxx that's playing spawn unfortunately
I remember being like 6 or 7 years old watching this at 12am on HBO from stolen cable. This is by far the greatest cartoon to ever exist.
Same for me in France at 16 years old recorded on chanel "Paris première"
the 90s had the best super hero comics, the maxx another image comic character like spawn had a great cartoon on mtv in the 90s
T minus 25 til 12am for me
Same ❤
Watching 'Spawn' attacking the pervert, while the 'DEMON' clown is watching and 'Roling on the Floor Laughing' shows that He is REALLY enjoying this! Is there more concerning this than were aware of?
Hbo was awesome on weekends in the 90's not only airing this but also The Chris Rock Show, Tales from the Crypt, Def Comedy Jam, Oz, Arliss, The Larry Saunders Show ,the Sopranos and boxing matches. I miss the old Hbo.
“The sad man”
Hit me in the feels

Wonder if Spawn will ever get a proper reboot now that we live in an age of superhero movies being made like crazy.
Honestly this series was made on hbo so HBOMAX or Syfy is the only place in my opinion were it should be not to mention the same people who made this series should be the only ones doing this exclusively not to mention spawns own comic book writers should be the only ones handling it in my opinion
They need a good studio, a big budget and some TLC. Stay true to the source. These people need to stop trying to feed us their version of an already established character. The Comic book staff knew what they were doing when they produced the product. Don't veer too much. Do that movie companies and you'll have a HIT!!! You have the tech to do these films well. Do it. I'd stick to McFarlands vision!

You are right, Terry is great. So is Tony Twist. I saw the hbo series way way back, and it still kind of stands by itself.

Theres a scene in the 1997 movie of a woman with the same earrings.

This is by far the greatest adult animated show I've ever seen. Nothing will ever top this. I wish they had continued it. Spawn isn't just a compelling character, his story with its characters is rich across time itself. Definitely my all-time favorite fictional character outside of Marvel and DC.

@@Johnlindsey289 Right on, friend.
Invincible

I'm being 100 percent serious here. When I was like eight or nine, ten at the very oldest, long before I had even heard of the Spawn animated series, which ironically given the fact that I was born in 1990, was airing on TV at right around that time, my father who my mother was separated from, sent me as a gift in the mail about three or four Spawn comics which I became obsessed with and read over and over again. I can't even remember what happened to them or what issues they were, but at the time I was horrified and fascinated at all the uncensored nudity, violence, and swearing which was the complete opposite of the stuff I usually saw on Nickelodeon at the time. For years after growing up I completely forgot I ever owned any Spawn comics but then more recently when I learned about the Spawn animated series from wikipedia, mostly because Keith David, who voiced Goliath from Gargoyles also voiced Spawn, it all came flooding back to me, as though a barrier in my mind had been shattered instantaneously.
I was born 1993 and I never seen Spawn animated series only the movie played by Michael Jai White.😁
@@tenmeikujou3916 I literally just came across this series yesterday on yt by accident..how did I never hear of this series?
@@TF80s dude same with me i was born in 97 saw the movie thought it was so epic and just found this series Friday but only just now being able to watch it...if the made a movie that was rated r it would've been a master piece

Good times right?!
The ending made me cry a little. It was so beautiful. The homeless man and Cyan saw spawn as someone sad. Not ugly or scary.
9:10 detective arrives on scene
Officer: Detective, what happened here?
Detective: it appears that this man fell from a tree, broke his hand, and shot himself.
Officer: all at the same time!?
Detective: No, There are 2 bullets missing in his gun, so he likely missed the first time, was startled and fell.
Officer: but why would he try to kill himself.
Detective: (sees broken camera) he's a photographer. Case closed.
boondock saints moment
Well good thing Al, stopped the photographer before he could get to Jason Wynn or the senator with those photographs he took of Wanda with the evidence.
SPAWN💀
The fact that despite only meeting Spawn twice and seeing some of his supernatural abilities, the only thing Cyan can say about him is that he's sad drives the scene home for me
Oh, dude. I teared up
She's innocent and sees humanity in him that at heart despite appearances, he isn't a monster
He actually was a bad person which is why he was spawn in the first place. He was turned into a hell spawn as a punishment. @SamuelBlack84
Love this series so much, the replay value is immense (i've been watching Spawn HBO & Spawn comics for so long) it's addictive 😅😌
I love how the series is getting love again since Spawn’s release.
Wish comics and such more like this would get a chance

Ive said it before but who else thought it was cool when Violator broke the 4th wall and referenced the comic books?
“...that wasn’t in the goddamn script!...”
Referencing Spawn killing Billy in the comic!
Did not know that, thought he meant it just wasn't part of his plan to let him go. It's a great fun fact
@@wander300 Spawn didn't just kill him, he shredded him into pieces and put his limbs and head on Sam and Twitch desk with a note ending in ".... I made him scream". The comic book took no prisoners.
@@anonymousrex395 he didn't shred him to pieces lol. He just hung him with chains and stabbed him with an ice cream scooper. His body was fully intact
I just quit my job at amazon. I’ve finally had enough of their bull crap. I Worked there for a year. Everyone i knew is gone, quit and or fired. Now i gotta rest and look for a new job elsewhere. Thanks for uploading this. Spawn was a good movie, didn’t know there was cartoons. I held on as long as i could, but now i am free… Everyone i once knew is gone, i had no more reason to keep fighting. A job shouldn’t feel like a battle to the death everyday. That’s what working at amazon was like, a prison.
What do you do now?
Hope everything is going better for you now
I Am proud of whoever did this series... It's right on the money.. Thank you.
Angela Mclean love this series too
I loved it watching in the 90’s.
Todd McFarlane the creator of spawn himself
I'm not like most people who have been a fan of Spawn forever. I've only gotten into him and I have to say. I absolutely love everything about him. This cartoon is probably the best I have ever seen. The scenery, the people and the fact there isn't much music is all too good.
I've always loved the interplay between light and shadow depending on who is on screen. And Keith David is amazingly delightful in his voice acting roles. Spawn and Goliath from Gargoyles are top notch.
“Cyan, where did you get this?”
“He did mommy, he did.”
“Who did?”
“The sad man.”
That got me in the heart for reals.
Yeah. Rewatching that scene again made me feel depressed. An amazing show.
Same here. I started crying when Spawn said to her "You...you go to your Mommy now. She'll take care of you. You're gonna be alright now." And then Cyan with the silent "Thank you."
Damn. I'm crying again just typing this. Beautiful scene. Just beautiful. 😥😢😭😭🥺🥺
Im not crying 😢 … YOURE CRYING 😭
@@datdankdj8264 we are crying
Yeah, that part hit hard.
I remember seeing the Spawn movie when I was about 8 years old and remembering how fkn cool it was. My Parents had HBO, and remember watching the animated series for the first time and just being blown away by it.
They need to bring Spawn back no reboot
they are bro there is a sequel animated series and a movie coming this year
maybe.
Some reboots are good
No.
A spawn reboot would only be worse now considering the movie industry is owned by hollywoke and disney... They would completely ruin it.
Billy Kincaid's gruesome death in the comics was one of the most memorable and I wish they worked it into the show.
-CASTRADOMIS- all he got was tossed into a wall and shot in the head?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!! After everything that he did, in a series as dark as this, you’d EXPECT him to get a terrible, slow, painful, dramatic death! Not some quick little cop out like that!
Darth Knightwing Phoenix The Violator actually says “that’s not part of the script!” In effort for a fourth wall break.
At least we can take solace in the fact that Hell is very real in this comic universe and kincaid is certainly agonizing there forever.
Bloodletter8 True
Spawn would’ve let Violator win if he massacred Billy, the whole point of Billy kidnapping Cyan was because Violator wanted to see Spawn absolutely lose it.
"He made boys scream, he made girls scream. So I made him scream and scream..."
I like how the comics handled Billy Kincaid.
I was in middle school when this series ran late at night on HBO. Used to watch it with all the lights off. Good times.
Oh yes. The midd 90’s
I didn't even realize that her earrings, Angela's earrings are basically the New HellSpawn's mask. The love for Al Simmons/Keith David. That's cool, I really didn't even catch that.😊😊😊
They're the basic hell spawn emblem. Lol.
@Red Knight She's a Top Dog then! It's too bad she won't be capturing Al Simmons.😊😏
And it was a damn shame.
Angela storyline was one of my favourites... Damned legal issues!
@@michaelsoria807 I wanted to see more of her myself, maybe a few other minor characters like Charles the Pimp? I think maybe he could've lasted longer.😏
@Red Knight I agree.
Back in the early 2000s I had to import this series all the way to germany on vhs, because it wasn’t available over here. I showed it my friends and they absolutely loved it. We had Spider-man cartoons but nothing like this! I just finished it here on RUclips! Almost 20 years later!
I remember my mom buying me this series at a garage sale when I was like 5 years old. I was a big Spawn fan back then and we both thought it was going to be a light hearted cartoon series. When I got home I started watching it with my brother and we both were in awe after seeing all the violence and nudity in the first episode. I’m pretty sure my dad threw the VHS away after that episode.I don’t know what triggered me to RUclips this but I’m glad I did. This series kicks ass.
U were a fan but u thought it would be light hearted? U phrase that wrong or u just full of shit?
Sigue la panocha y los chayotes yvmolinos
For someone to talk their shit means they want trouble problems disgusting hoes
OMG the ending made me cry so much! Up till now the series has been so gritty and tough, but when Al gives Cyan the ring and she's reunited with her parents, it was so emotional, sweet, and sad. 😢❤ This series is so good!
1:05:06
This sequence is just heartbreaking and bittersweet.
Damn straight
At least, Spawn is kind with kids
The way Todd McFarlane created this cartoon series beats every single kind of comic book cartoon series to date, this is absolute genius.
@Pascal siakam yh, i like batman, but he is overrated
Batman TAS, Superman TAS, this and more are the best comic series ever
@Pascal siakam Defo dude, love it a lot, i grew up on those cartoons
I think is amazing I wonder how an animated series of The Crown would be compared with this one
well deserved emmy
That scene in the end where Spawn says goodbye to his little girl is just emotional especially when he leaves the ring in her hands.
That's not his daughter. She's his best friend's kid.
Only you and 36 dumb fucks that aren't familiar with the story are probably the same people saying you were day 1 fans
Its even more depressing when you realize hes not only saying goodbye to the child he and his wife could never have but always wanted AND saying goodbye to the only reason he came back to earth and became a Hellspawn in the first place
ThePizzadude93 Oh LOL. Shit. I watched this late at night. Must’ve misheard.

This series had me in my feels man, Spawn was AWESOME. One of those shows I can watch repeatedly, Spawns story is heartbreaking, exciting - scary at the same time. All the voice actors were tight, David Keith as Spawn was top notch.
You mean Keith David?
Everything about this series was awesome, the script, the voice acting, the violence, the clown/violator.. dark af. I rediscovered this series 10 years ago and been waiting ever since for more, but it’s never gonna happen :/
This is what the actual movie should’ve been like, but Hollywood ruined it.
I always used to pick up spawn comics from the super market when I was mad young. My mother had NO clue how violent and mature the content in those comics were. If she had known it would have def been banned from my house growing up lol. I remember the comics clued me in to this HBO series and I would stay up SUPER late and always hope I could catch the animated episodes at random. I was waaay too young to be reading and watching Spawn, but I loved how gritty and raw it was. I had NEVER seen an Anti Hero before and I was really sucked into the Idea of spawn when I was just a kid. A Renegade Hell spawn General who turns his back on Satan and his armies and struggles against his dark nature and tries to do good with his Hell powers to make amends for his past. All I knew back then was Superman, Batman and spider man. The Spawn series and comics blew my 10 year old mind!
Spawn voice actor is Goliath from Gargoyles. Perfection.
Still a fan in 2019! Had all comics and cards when I was a kid.

@@huntergman8338 If that's the case. I smell alot of bullshit from them.
@@oatsthedog Which is why I call it a fever dream. A lot of ideas that make up the thing is based on false ideas and lies about human nature. One that greatly angers me is the idea that men hate their women, as a lot of damage has been done thanks to that lie.
Aside from the fact that this HBO series of Spawn is a very intense Kick-Ass series, I can't help but to be drawn into all the the characters so easily. Twitch of course with his genius, the homeless alley people that I feel sorry for and so on.
Never knew Molina and molinos where like that
Been a fan of Spawn since '92. I never had HBO and sadly missed this show. I saw the first few episodes at a friends house a while back, thanks for this Truckin Dad! I am hoping that Spawn makes a come back the next few years with the reboot film!
Ur sign to rewatch
I love that old homeless man. No matter what happens hes so nice to spawn worrying if hes Eating snd staying safe
Dude the end bro nearly made me cry I feel so bad for Al Simmons he still loved Wanda..this is just a straight masterpiece we need more of this

Are you a comic fan because if you are you should have known about this comic character n your days even as a kid Wasn’t even born In that era and I know about this character
Yea these comics used to be at tenth planet and i remember there would be more spawn comics than anything at that comic store did i watchbit religiously no but i watched and read enough to know
And that was when yo yos and fireballs were cool to have pogs and shit
What is so great about this cartoon is, it doesn't feel like a cartoon like it can be taken as is and turned into a live action movie
Dammit, seeing Spawn sad makes me tear up...manly tears. Still, it's amazing how this show can evoke these emotions.
Who remembers hbo back in the late 90s and early 2000s? I was a kid but caught as much as I could and even then I could tell it was good television. Spawn is a great example. Keith David's voice brought some real weight to the titular character. Some real emotion and dark story here.
"It's NOT. EVEN. HIS. KID!!!"
That hurt as such a fan of Al/Spawn, but dammit that was so hysterical & the Clown rolling & laughing after
makes it even funnier 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I never saw this show when it first aired (I was 5 at the time it debuted and didn't watch a lot of adult animation back then), in fact, I didn't know it actually existed until I discovered it years later. Finally watched the series in 2009 when I bought it on DVD (making it the first HBO series I bought on DVD, followed by The Sopranos) and watched the entire series. It was excellent, and it quickly became one of my favorite animated series of all-time and it was quickly enlisted into my Top 5 animated series of all-time. To me, Spawn truly defines adult animation in North America.
“Maybe you should quit all this figuring and just do something”
Damn
Too good Man. Every role is so important to the overall story. And some of best voice acting I've ever heard in an Animation.
this is very good but reminds me how sick the real world is.
its a reality cartoon - shrugs -
Think of it as a form of education on how cruel this reality can get, & learn how to survive it
Try to remember that the sickness isnt all there is to the world. Theres also beauty and love and nobility. And each of us can bring into the world whichever we choose- sickness or goodness.
Many animals show compassion gorillas dolphins whales dogs ect. I'd rather feel good and try to be good myself and you know be conscious of how you act and treat others rather than be an asshole while in the end it really doesn't matter right?
@joaquin umpierrez then GTFO
This animated series reminds me with its atmosphere of the first The Darkness game on PS3/Xbox 360. It was also based on the comic book, but it was thoroughly reworked and a more grounded plot was brought to the forefront.
R rated Spawn remake coming....can't wait for the real version.
Ohhhh my Godddd the end of this is unbeatable, what a series!!!!!!!
This and Spicy City are some truly animated treasures. They need more attention nowadays.
Spicy City! 😗👌
@@Qiovetspmk You remember that too?!! XD I still go back and watch from time to time.
Spawn really needs a new animated series
Like He is literally perfect for animation just like Batman,Spidey and Superman
One of My favorite aspects of this Show is the way they Portray just how Gritty/Dirty this City is. In a lot of these scenes, It's like I can almost smell & feel the Moisture and the Filth of the Alleys. No other Show has done that for Me like Spawn has & I absolutely Love it for that. My Mom and Dad started watching Spawn when She was pregnant with Me. Now here I am, 23 Years Old watching it Myself. I can see now why Her and My Dad Loved it so Much. It's an amazing Series!!
