Captain Scarlet

Was a staple of my childhood this. The bit in the first episode where Captain Scarlet falls off the multi-storey car park to his 'death' is etched in my memory so clearly. Its such a stylishly dark and violent show, love it.

My dad introduced me to this and the Thunderbirds when I was little (he grew up in the 60s.) Absolutely superb shows. I should really re-watch them.

This show was so good. I'm amazed that its opening involves a man getting shot at with a machine gun. Children's programs wouldn't dare have something like that today. I hope I'm not looking at it with nostalgia goggles. Used to catch it on CBBC. I know everyone knows about Thunderbirds, but I also liked Stingray.

Thunderbirds had the god-awful live-action movie back in 2004, and is currently in season 3 of a FUCKING FANTASTIC cgi/miniature cartoon.

>The relevance of all this to Tokyo-3 becomes clear with Anno’s next words. “For example, in Thunderbirds, there’s Tracy Island; in UFO, there’s SHADO headquarters. They’re very good and thorough, not a halfway job. I wanted to do something like that.” Yes, Anno is a Gerry Anderson fan, citing the master of Supermarionation as a childhood favourite, beside the likes of Space Battleship Yamato and Ultraman. “I watched Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and UFO when I was growing up. I especially liked Thunderbirds and UFO, and I would have to say my favourite is UFO. It’s from England, and shows the elegance of the British way. That’s one of the things I like, as well as the reality in the expressions, I think it’s very well done. I don’t know if I would call it an influence. I just liked it a lot; I grew up seeing it and I know it. It’s hard to see how it influenced me, but it may have affected me.”

The role of UK TV in anime is much underdiscussed.

Ghost In The Shell is based on The Professionals, you can see it in the character designs.

Bravo, Anno.
There old thread from Yea Forums about Anno that linked to an old UFO fansite Anno used to run. Sadly the link is long dead:

The first episode killed all hype for that reboot, I don't see any reason to get excited user.

????????????????????????????????
The first episode was amazing, what are you talking about. That opening scene was the hypest shit I've ever seen.

First episode was an hour long and on ITV, then they shelved it to half-hour episodes on CITV on saturday mornings, so unless all the old farts and rerunfags were gonna tune into a kids channel just to watch one show it wasn't worth it.
Also the CG puppet faces looked a bit weird desu

Next you'll be telling me Tron Uprising wasn't good.

>FUCKING FANTASTIC cgi/miniature cartoon
I remember when men acted like men instead of hiding under a table from an old woman

I'm genuinely surprised how big Thunderbirds and other Anderson shows caught on in japan. IIRC there used to be an old game show that tested people how much they knew their weird hobbies like this, Tokyo Disneyland, etc.

bud I have no idea what you're talking about

From the episodes I saw the male characters acted like immature teens, One epidoe had then hiding from an old woman under a table to avoid something

Remember Joe 90 where that little kid became an expert at everything and killed all the bad guys?

I don't remember that at all. What was the rescue?

i never really liked the vocal credit song, it kinda ruined the vibe. the instrumental was much better. the radio song from white as snow is my fave from the show i think

Found the scene

Thier whole interactions seem juvenile compared to the original

So... you're upset that these men aren't decking their grandma in the face?

Yes, Acting like an adult means beating people

This new thunderbirds show has no business being this good. Best reboot if anything in a while.

Daily reminder that the Mysterons did nothing wrong

Frakes fucked it up. Kids want to be adults (the Thunderbird pilots), not other kids. I wonder how it happens nobody pointed this out to him.

Frakes directed it, not wrote it.

Can we get back to talking about Captain Scarlet please?

my mum and i made a diy captain Scarlet skybase when i was a kid, shit was dope

I loved these images. They made me really consider his invulnerability, wonder how he's getting into all these scrapes, and how fucking useless he must be to be constantly killed

Genuinely one of my favourite franchises as a young kid.
Honestly, there's actual a lot of potential to revive this but "mature" as a modern day Game of Thrones about espionage.
I say this because the franchise is dead and only people who are now adults would care about it

It doesn't need a live action reboot, the new CGI Thunderbirds Are Go is pretty good. All they have to do is apply that formula to Captain Scarlet or Joe 90 and it'll be fine.

I do like the reboot. I like how they actually let John do stuff. Since Gerry Andeson had some weird feud going against that puppet.

Didn't this guy get a CG reboot in the 2000s? How was it?

CGI was dated, Scarlet spoke with an American accent, SPECTRUM was multicultural, Stories were still good though I felt that they lacked danger

I remember having a toy of Captain Scarlet. The show was based.

This intro used to strike me so much. youtu.be/wV6m9NlsOJ4

Is there a more kino moment in kids TV ever?

>You now remember that, in the years leading up to the reboot, they reran the classic series on TV in the early 2000s.
For someone born in the late 90s, Captain Scarlet was a real part of my childhood, toys were back in the stores and then they released the DVDs. It makes me feel like an honourary boomer. Who else with me?

Every fucking time.

Where was the dramatic tension when Captain Scarlet was indestructible?

>added a spic
No that's Tin Tin. they renamed her Kayo for either copyright reasons, or because the old name was racist I guess?

My dad loved watching the professionals absolite kino soundtrack
