This show and Berserk 97 are the definitions of, “ending on a frustrating cliffhanger”.
Fr
You Can just read the manga after the berserk anime ending,
But i don’t know How Close to the comics the Spawn Series is.
@@munken7673 I did, I’m just speaking c in the perspective of someone who Just finished watching them
I wouldn’t call Spawn niche . Todd Mcfarlane was doing videos and Album covers for big rock bands like Korn and Pearl Jam at the time
I loved "Spawn" since I was a teenager. Not only did I watch the series, but I also read the first 30 issues and played its video game adaptation, "Spawn: Armageddon." Good times!!! 👏👏👏
Oh wow I didn’t even know there was an animated show, he’s VA is so good, sounds exactly like I imagined he sounded.
😊
Spawn is such a goated character.
Yes 😎
Facts💯Always G.O.A.T.E.D🐐🔥
We really need a new Spawn animated series or movie, he needs the respect he deserves.
He forgot the vastly underrated 1989 movie The Punisher
I am so glad that Keith David reprised his role as Spawn in his guest appearance in Mortal Kombat 11 and to this day, i still occasionally revisit that game just to play as Spawn (who've ive been wanting in Mortal Kombat since MK9 - i was a junior in high school when that game came out).
I'm so happy I got the complete series on DVD. One of my favorites. Gonna love the video.
I looked everywhere to watch this as a kid, but could only find clips on youtube
Although there were home releases, it was definitely hard to find for a long time. Having it steaming on Max now is the easiest access to it we’ve ever had
The intros with Todd Mcarland made it even that more dark.. shit was crazy
R.I.P to all the Tamagotchis in the 90s
Mine always died
@@RealLifeRyan Sorry for your loss brah
Hey, there. Do you know what's even more brutal, gory and awesome than Spawn? Evil Ernie. It's like the combination of Spawn and Evil Dead. Ernie is a 90s horror icon too. At least for those who knew him.
Oh, he is also part of the Lady Death "universe".
I dropped my Spawn video two days ago and Real Life Ryan drops this. I love seeing people have an appreciation for this character.
I've honestly always considered the edited together HBO trilogy to be the canon version not because it was my first introduction to it but because it worked so well as a movie with each season.
I recently rewatched it and it is even better than I remember.
huh I didn't even know there was an animated series.
Now you do 😎
i have never seen anything spawn related, but still commenting for the algorithm
I just finished this series after a LONG hiatus of putting off finishing it. Worth it, but it totally could be expanded on. I heard there was a chance, but McFarlend wanted to expand the animated style.
I wish spawn would come back as a animated series too invincible has been incredible. Plus spawn is underated unless you know the cartoon and mk11
2:16 Why the f*ck would you make a PG-13 Spawn, same with (Alien vs Predator)!? John Leguizamo slaps as the Violator tho!
While I’m not huge on the human designs the Violator monster design is awesome, I just wish he was a bit more colorful and not just grey.
Just to try to sell it to a larger audience. All about money
Spawn is my absolute favorite anti hero in all of comics as well as the strongest.
I've been reading Spawn for the last two years. I'm close to issue 200 and I recommend people to drop the reading after the Armageddon story ends.
LEGENDARY programming. Along with so many others from HBO during that period. Too many of some of the best shows of all time.
To think arguably the GOAT channel’s namesake would essentially be devoured by Cinemax/Discovery channel. 😂
Sucks to hear how it ended. Good shows getting prematurely cancelled by their networks is a universal bane for everyone, old and young.
And yeah, most animated shows for adults nowadays have that Family Guy/Rick&Morty artstyle.
There is no justice in the world. FINISH THE DAMN SERIES TODD. YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO FUND TILL THE APOCALYPSE
Yes!!!!
HBO had another animated show around the same time and it was so good, I really miss old HBO!
It's really a shame that we never got a 4th Season :'(
It's not impossible to continue the show considering Primal and Unicorn Warriors Eternal, but yeah...aside from Tui Sutherland trying to get Wings of Fire adapted through HBO
(It's really quite Violent and Dark for a supposed Kids Series. At least Arc1 and Darkstalker Are!) I see no chance of them reviving the Spawn Cartoon. Witch sucks cause the ending
of Al Simmons declaring he's 'Ready to be Human' is going to haunt me like me being deprived from seeing Spyro finding his Family in Skylanders Academy. Yes I know opposite ends
of the spectrum but both those shows suffered from drops of view ala Season2 onward a niche' thing that was popular than and than faded. Also...Spyro actually sorta becomes
a bit of a tormented protagonist towards the end with his struggle between light and darkness and while I'd want more than that 'SPOILER: that whole Eon's betrayal thing and Spyro
falling to the side of Evil birthing his Wings of Darkness makes that dragon-boy look like a sorta Guts/Griffith crossbred! I'm not even joking I re-watched the show twice playing
Berserk OST through the whole thing and from that point forward I kept hearing Skylanders Opening theme everytime I hear 'Tell me Why'. (It has annoying filler in places but still
good when it gets there.) While Ryan is on the Subject of Dark Disturbing 90's cartoons for Adults he really needs to Check out the Animated film Feildae, for GOD
that film was Epic. I keep seeing people whine about how Edgy it was, but what they fail to see is the actual Genius in the movie. I still think Francis is best Animated film Protagonist.
Spawn is one of the coolest looking characters in comics, probably THE best looking. I only bought Spawn from issue 300 haha.
It's always on my mind ever since, bro
I have no idea what this show is yet because I am 18 and it is out of my time but I am COMMENTING FOR ENGAGEMENT
Gotta add this to the growing list of "Plan to Watch"! I've only tangentially known about Spawn, but always thought he looked awesome. Maybe this is the push I needed!
This is on my list to read
Love your videos man and I always wondered what you would think of Spawn. Have a great day 👍
A Spawn Retrospective would be amazing, id definitely watch that on repeat!!
Didn't John Leguizamo ate maggots in the movie? Talk about dedication, lol
I'll miss animations like this, its so moody and unique, I remember watching S1 back in 2016, no one knows who Spawn is except me lol. With Invincible's popularity, I hope it can open up studios in doing animated adaptations again, and actually try and imitate the artist's art style. Imagine adaptations of Saga or Wytches, that'll be fucking awesome
Ngl, this show sounds badass. Should’ve read it when I was younger.
Every couple of years I go back and watch the series and while it's not without problems( story gets a bit bogged down with too many plot lines and I wish Spawn did more to effect the story rather than just being a mopey sad fuck) it really is a unique gem in western animation and something like it hasn't really been attempted since. You just don't seen many, if any, dark adult animated dramas outside of anime.
And you're right about that cliffhanger. Talk about blue balls and it ended just when it seemed like things we're starting pick up with the whole Heaven and Hell war and that maybe Al was going to be taking a more active role and start becoming something close to a hero, and not to mention the unanswered questions of what was going to happen to Wanda and Terry and that whole thing or what happened to Jason Wynn and the alliance that he and Clown/Violator were starting up.
I didn’t know this existed I gotta check this out
Ryan please review Brzrkr, Girls & these Savage shores comics.
did rewatch of what they have on HBO Max of this a couple years ago
Does anyone remember a cartoon on MTV called the MAX?
Forget a Spawn movie. I want Todd to finish this show!
My wishes in one video😢
Tú contaste y fue exactamente igual para mí en Puerto Rico solo abra un Spawn y fue en los noventa esa época fue única siempre buscando lo más extremo Spawn fue el extremo
This was a great show I really enjoyed it
Hell yeah Spawn! The motherfucking Spawn! 😎 Portrayed by Michael Jai White and voiced by Keith Motherfucking David. I’m not a Spawn fan but he means business.
I like the Todd McFarlene art style and his cameos in various media as well as video games like Mortal Kombat, COD(??), and others. Just wish he could interact with the Doomslayer and that would be awesome.
Would you watch a new Spawn show that followed the comics until the current ones?
Absolutely. Though I only read up through the Armageddon story in the comics and have no clue where it goes after that
@@RealLifeRyan There were 3 new tiltes that came out with the main series. Gunslinger Spawn, King Spawn and a team book: The Sorched
I still own my copy
Hey Ryan, can you do a review of goblin slayer? I think the writers are trying to make a lot of similarities to berserk. Anyway, it’s pretty graphic but I like it.
I saw this back when i was way too young but really the first season was the best. Everything else was so slow and spawn never really fought the violator all that much which was lame. This show could have been so much better. The animation is top notch though.
Twitch is the hardest character in the show
Please give us season 4
Sad shame the series dropped by season 3 as we wanted to see so much more! Also Spawn was but another Image character to get a series; others include the very 1st, The Maxx, on MTV, Savage Dragon on USA Network, and 2 Witchblade series( one live action and 1 anime series!❤ Sexy too!).
To the question do you remember spawn the series? I answer, how can you not?!😂
His Comics, Toys and media have been a staple in media for over 20 years.By now, I'm sure many have at least spread the word or awareness of how awesome and badass Al truly is; as well as many more curious as to what the buzz is about!😂
Great video!
Yo I remember watching this when I was middle school. Spawn is such a badass character. I went in hoping I would get an action packed series, and what I got was a depressing, existential, and horrifying show. I love it. And Keith David rules too, you can’t have Spawn without Keith David.
Spawn the show of the 4 W’s:
Who
What
Why
Wanda!!!!!
I wish more adult animated series were mature and stylized like this, particularly 2d animation
Yep, there are only Japanese studios creating these more mature animated series. It's a shame because Spawn showed us that American studios could deliver such creative and mesmerizing series too. Castlevania is great but would really love some European weird style animation too.
Seen Undone, the maxx, invincible, Aeon flux etc?
Day 4 of asking Ryan to review Brzrkr, also thanks Ryan for covering Spawn super underrated show.
Before we had invincible and castlevania,we had spawn.
All great shows but I still like Spawn the best 😈
@RealLifeRyan love your channel!!! Can you do review on manga shouwaru cupid. It's by Togashi.
Man we desperately NEED more Spawn content outside of cameos and comics, he can make a fast comeback with all the adult superhero shows right now.
I also want to see an animated adaptation of the 2003 Hellspawn with the art direction closely following Ashley Wood's art
or even an animated Sam & Twitch series
This series is I think far and away Keith Davidsons best role, honestly such a perfect performance
hard to decide between this and Gargoyles...and The Thing. and They Live...and Men At Work...theres too many great roles!!!
Keith David is a god damn treasure to this world!!! lol
I’m so glad you talked about this show. I loved Spawn and actually just rewatched it recently.
I found this channel because of Berserk, I stayed because you’re the man Ryan! Merry Christmas!
Considering the current revival wave over in Japan, where they brought series of 20 years and more back for either remakes or continuations, maybe McFarlane should try looking for a production over there. I could imagine worse things than a Spawn anime. And between X-Men, Suicide Squat isekai and more, it'd not like it'd be the first time for a western comic to become an anime either.
I only ever watched the movie and seen a couple of episodes but never truly watched it unfortunately
I used to stay up late to watch it with my mom & older brother but we never finished it. It wouldn't be until the pandemic that I managed to sit down & complete it. Still a badass cartoon
You need to cover the beginning of this. Please
This show, Claymore and Deadman Wonderland are all shows that shouldve gotten another season but have, frustratingly enough, never gotten one
Probably because most of those shows had weak storytelling and an over-reliance on violence and gore.
@@blueblur2273 mind being more specific ? You're basically including Spawn in that troll bait you just posted.
@@deathserpent9747 Nice one Sherlock! Ofc I'm including Spawn as well as Deadman Wonderland too. 🤨Surely this isn't your 1st time hearing this. Spawn is notorious for not having any clear direction in it's storytelling with an over-focus on violence and gore.
@@blueblur2273 now i know youre trolling.
@deathserpent9747 Not that bright, are you?
There's such a gritty, special, foreboding and existential feeling to this show. This cult-classic. Focusing on the inner turmoil Al has to deal with, the torture he goes through. There's so much character to it... It's really interesting. I've rewatched it a few times. One thing to note is that Wynn isn't a businessman, he's a pretty high-up guy within the CIA or something like that.
I was a fan of spawn since 10 when it debuted the comics and I was 15 when this show debuted and one of my favorite adult animation shows.
It’s like Heavy Metal meets Batman tas
The reason why Spawn The Animated Series got canceled because the real life sports player Tony Twist sued Todd Mcfarlane without his permission to name the character in The Spawn series aka the mobster Tony Twist because Tony Twist's mother in real life is crying because there's character named Tony Twist doing bad stuff something her son will never do and guessed what he did in real life and made Todd Mcfarlane payed alot of damages and Tony Twist in real life became the thing he trys to destroy and became an asshole in the end and Tony Twist in real life,he is no better and not saint as well being jerk and asshole very equal to his comic book version of himself and I am glad that I am not fan of Tony Twist in real life rather than I being a full fan of Todd Mcfarlane.
If Ghost Rider can get two attempts and still fail. Spawn deserves two attempts where one is better than the other.
As for the animated series, yeah I loved it and own all of the DVDs that exist of it. Can't recall when it was the earliest time I saw the show, felt like I just stumbled upon it during a visit at a video store and randomly finding one of the seasons many years ago. This is the kind of material I feel we need more of when it comes to adult animation. What is considered 'Adult' animation today is just shows like Family Guy, South Park and Simpsons all taking cracks at real life events and references of people that had their moment in the spotlight.
Spawn existed in probably the right time for it to exist. Right when you had peak Simpsons, Beavis and Butt-Head, Daria and other obscure animated shows around their time. It just fit with that norm. It felt totally out of place if you watched it today and compare it to where animated tv shows are now. But everytime I did watch Spawn, I felt like a rewind back to that period to remember all of the other things that were around.
Why didn't we get another spawn movie?The problem is Todd himself. He wants to direct it. The studios who saw his failure of a movie decline it everytime. Doesn't matter what McFarlane says, he messes it up with his conditions for filming it himself.
Honestly, I’d love to play a Spawn video game in the vein of the Arkham Games with Keith David returning
Yeah, and it blew my mind. Back in that time, American animation was saturday cartoon fare that was painful to watch if compared to Japanese anime.
Well Spawn aired on HBO in May 16th, 1997 16 days ago before me, Sean were born.
maybe they could make a spawn animated series
Bro, you should talk about D00M next
Spawn is awesome, as a kid I never thought there could be an adult animated series until I saw this show.
Spawn vs guts who you got ???
Spawn comic analysis?
Just to clarify bro, Todd didn't jump start image comics on his own...he had help with many other comic artists who left DC and Marvel to help found the company.
