Comedy Central has ordered 10 episodes of Golden Axe, an animated present based mostly on the fantasy beat ’em up sidescroller video games. Deadline writes that it is going to be each “hilarious and loving” in its adaptation of the sport. If I bear in mind my Sega Genesis days nicely, I feel which means there’ll be combating over who will get to trip the purple hen dinosaur and that, in some unspecified time in the future, a huge bushy cranium will float down and hotbox everybody.
Who’s massive thought was this, you ask? You’ll be able to blame producers Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Decrease Decks) and Joe Chandler (American Dad!), who will even write the primary episode collectively, with Chandler serving because the showrunner afterward. A timeline for the present’s launch hasn’t been introduced but.
Based on Deadline, Gilius Thunderhead (aka the battle dwarf, aka the perfect character) shall be performed by Matthew Rhys (Cocaine Bear). The present will even star Lisa Gilroy (Glamorous) because the fire-wielding Tyris Flare and Liam McIntyre (Spartacus) as Ax Battler, a barbarian who doesn’t battle with an ax.
In case you don’t bear in mind or have by no means performed Golden Axe, Golden Axe II, Golden Axe III, or the opposite Golden Axe video games that don’t matter, right here’s a compilation somebody fabricated from magic assaults from the video games:
Rounding out the forged are Danny Pudi as a hapless dreamer named Hampton Squib who’s new to adventuring and Carl Tart as Chronos “Evil” Lait, the villain from Golden Axe III.
Given how lengthy it’s been since there was a brand new Golden Axe recreation, it’d really feel a bit like this was an thought pulled from a pile labeled “is that this something?” Then once more, there’s a new game coming, so perhaps we’re headed for a Golden Axe renaissance? Additionally, don’t neglect that there’s a Twisted Metal TV show and that, by some means, there are 4 seasons of Castlevania on Netflix, with a second season of Castlevania: Nocturne on the way in which. I don’t find out about you, however I’m pulling for Yo! Noid subsequent.
