‘Golden Axe’ animated series from Mike McMahan set at Comedy Central; Matthew Rhys and Danny Pudi among voice cast

Well so much for any hopes of Lower Decks getting picked up elsewhere.

Golden Axe comedy? I'll watch it but seems odd choice. It would be better as a dark fantasy show.

Golden Axe is a really interesting IP to me. Sega keeps trying at it, even though it never seems to take off.
Guess there's no harm in trying again with a new show and game though.

Just always kinds of surprises me when they have other stuff they could tap into. Unsure why GA is the big "We GOTTA TRY THAT AGAIN" IP for them.

dunno why Golden Axe specifically but I think any IP from the "monoculture era" automatically has an advantage in terms of staying power. it's probably why things from the 80s are still such a focus despite the nostalgia cycle being overdue for moving on.

Sega: We'll do anything to avoid re-releasing Revenge of Death Adder. Even make a Comedy Central show!

Don't really trust Comedy Central but I'am just glad Golden Axe is back.

Yeah really. Cmon Sega, Arcade Archives is right there…

Glad Matthew Rhys and Danny Pudi are getting more work though. Not familiar with any of the other actors.

Which is sad because it's the best Golden Axe game and a really high tier beat em up.

Some solid casting decisions.

After Lower Decks, I'll keep an eye on it.

This is the weirdest thing I've read all year. Love me some Golden Axe, not sure about this lol

 

[skeezx]

tbh i only saw the games as somewhat goofy (albeit fun) beat em ups anyhow

it's something on the bingo card and i'm hedging my bets against it, but i'm not totally against it either

I have to imagine they just felt like it would be repetitive to have Ax Battler and Tyris both be barbarians so they let Tyris use magic.

Tyris is the strongest spellcaster in the game.

Interesting thing is how fast this happened… Makes me think he may have already been considering leaving and/or juggling more things and that may have factored into the cancellation.

Fuck it, Sonic Boom TV show was great, if they have the right writers and the right cast (and they seem to have the right cast) this could be a gem. Much jmore likely to watch it than if it was a serious Action show. Still, Golden Axe never really felt like a relevant Sega series to me. It's more fun ot play than Altered Beast, but at least Altered Beast is awesome
