Because it’s silly, and not in the style of the OT.

Not even MagnoliaFan was that cynical!

Ha ha! I take that as a compliment. I am attempting to make a “classic” out of Ep. II and to give it an older feel, and Yoda with a lightsaber goes against this.

Granted, but the fight is still awesome except for Yoda's stupid aero-batics. You could just remove those.




Please, please, please, delete "Good call my young Padawan!" Way too Batman and Robin for my taste.


Will do; I don’t mind that change. I’ll change it to, “Good call.”


Defintely get rid of that. It reminds me of the old Batman and Robin cartoon. *cringes*

If lightsaber wounds are cauterized, then why the pile of blood on the floor of the cantina in the original SW? Just a thought.


Maybe his race has large veins or something.


Why am I deleting the electricity scene with Yoda and Dooku, you ask? I think that the Force electricity should be a special power that only Palpatine has. This would raise ROTJ’s impact, because this is the first time the audience has seen anything like this. That’s why I’ve deleted all three times when Dooku uses the electricity. The lightning in this one doesn’t look real; it looks CG. Also, the thing that bothered me the most was the lack of effort with which Dooku uses the electricity. If you look at the scene in ROTJ, Palpatine is putting forth an enormous effort when he zaps Luke; he isn’t casual like Dooku. And is Palpatine not more powerful than Dooku? It has always bothered me how Dooku doesn’t look like he’s really doing anything.


Maybe it is because he is so old? Dokuu is clearly younger in AoTC than Palps of RotJ... (I assume he's younger than Palps of the Prequels. And I doubt the Emperor would have been in prime physical condition after years of being the dictator of the galaxy)

How much of the Coruscant Elevator scene are you keeping in? That scene sort of rubs me the wrong way, but I'm not sure if it could be cut without making the characters come from nowhere.

But you haven't seen or read TMNT unless you read the original black and white 'mature audience' oriented comics series. That was one fun, mean comic!


Mature Audiences and TMNT don't mix. Turtles is about having fun and pizza, not vigilante.. stuff. Leave that to Batman and the Punisher. Or the Mangler Brohters!

Did anyone catch the Kids Choice Awards?

Still, it is 'favorite game' not 'best game' so I guess maybe more kids played it; after all it was based on a huge blockbuster where as Astroboy wasn't.. and Minish Cap is probably too hard, as I noticed that some of the kids in the audience looked like they were 4...

But there is NO excuse for Hilary Duff getting the movie actress award! Someone should suffer for even nominatiing her! And isn't it a bit hypocrytical to give best Cartoon to spongebob and not give best TV actor to Tom Kenny?

Corrupting Catholic teachings?!?!? The hell you say!

"Something far more insidious" than what? More insidious than the Catholic church already is?

You'r right. I should just be glad they no longer sell indulgences.

Magler Brothers Cartoon Series: Season 2, Episode 3... The Wrath of John Parte Dos

Last time on Mangler Brothers: A series of clips shows the plot, Warbler looking for the missing Motti SoL, and Dayv and Bossk fighting John. The camera pans back as John's head explodes into an RE4 rip-off monster, complete with eye-in-its mouth and sharp teeth! The creature leaps into the air and comes down on the injured Manglers...

*Theme Song*

After the theme song, we see Monster-John leap to attack again, followed by a cut of the Bossk and Dayv reacting to the assautl. They role out of the way, just as John come down, driving a spike, jutting from where his fist used to be, into the ground where Dayv's head was moments before. The two unload the pitance of ammo they have left and role away, Dodging Violent flailing and random attacks from John. A large balcony that John destroyed from his house has a metal pole jutting out, half broken off the rail. Dayv sees it and has a..

*flashback*

A montage of scenes where Dayv is training in Ninjitsu and Judo, and with a Bo Staff, in a Dojo. The hitman's armor is replaced by gui and the face is in shadow, but the voice is clearly Dayv. "Thank you, Master," he says to the sensei as the flashback ends.

*present*

Psycho Dayv grabs the metal and uses his uber-combatknife to sever the metal pole. He scans it quickly, revealing that the center of the staff is made of Danielbium, a near-unbreakable metal used in the construction of the Mangler Mobile, only found in an incredibly thick-skulled life form on the planet Forum. Convienient, he says to himself. Wielding the bo, he attacks John, who has been occupied trying to thrash Bossk. Scoring several damaging blows, Dayv strikes a combat pose with the bo and takes a brief rest as the comercial fades in...( the "Last Time" took up a good 2:30)

When we return, whe see John enraged that Dayv hurt him, and he lashes his long alien neck at the Original Mangler, trying to litterally bite his head off. The Monster-John reiceves several more rude awakenings as Dayv beats the crap out of him with the bo, but the Monster is taking blows that would kill a man with ease and Dayv is growing fatigued... (hey, he was thrown from a second story window!)

Dayv is tripped by a new apendage juting from MJ's left shoulder, and can't get up fast enough to avoid the incoming spike of death... When Bossk flies in from off screne, thrashing the beast with Dayv's combat knife... He presses a button and the thick metal of the blade suddenly stretches into a big sword, which Bossk attacks with again...
Only to be knocked flat on his face by the aforementioned shoulder apendage... Then it thrashes the crap out of Bossk, knocking him sensless. The creature looms over the two assassins, ready for the kill...

*second commercial* I love cliffhangers...

MJ lunges at the Manglers, when, offscrene, several incredbly powerful sounding Gunshots are heard., and blood of various colors goes flying from within the monster as bullets slam into him with enough force to break his lunge...
Insert Warbler, holding two Warbsps and Motti with dual revolvers and a belt full of Dessert Eagle pistols...
The Mangler Brothers share some quick greetins, and Warbler gives Bossk and Dayv some stimulants to keep them going.... Then the newcomers unload on MJ, clearly weakening the beast. Dayv and Bossk take turns hitting him with the bo and cutting him with the knife-cum-sword, until the long-neck-monster goes down. and Bossk lops of his head as Dayv impales it on the edge of the bo...

Insert: Electronic money transaction on a computer screen, from the account of Bill Shakespear to the Mangler's account, as the Mangler Mobile pulls away from Enooitat to make the long flight home...

Magfan's edit made no sense; there is no hint Zam is a changeling at all until she dies, and it is completely random when it happens. I don't get why he removed it. It would be like Luke pulling Vader's helmet off and not being confused to discover that Vader is a Zabrack!

Ok... Not quite that extreme, but you get the picture.

You could delete the [terrible] line "I think 'he' is a she,.."and just pick up where Ankikan says "I think she is a changling" deleting the "and"
