![]() Besides, I don’t think that a child over ten can’t take any of these “mature” themes. Why people can be sliced and it’s just fine, but a boob is calamitous, I don’t get. ![]() I’m talking about just plain sex, because sexual or not, violence is violence. I definitely don’t like that sex in movies and shows is being treated like it’s so much worse than violence that it is never actually shown. Whatever age or gender you carve wide open, it’s all red guts inside. Yet, I don’t think it’s healthy in this modern society. That is an issue longer than media as we know it today, it’s not as it is for no practical reason. I wonder about men being the sole unobjectionable objects of violence. They say this is where Mako and Aku’s monologue came from, but I think it influence is even bigger. Speaking of which, apparently it has inspired Samurai Jack to some degree. The movie from 1982 is my all time favourite. I only wanted to make any causal reader aware.Īhh Conan, sweet Conan. Also having to grown up watching gory WW2 /Vietnam Nam documentaries ( thanks Pop)īut LWC over its 28 volumes of stories has more than a few stories with rape & revenge type stories ( one I would say was pretty disturbing) but nothing that would send anybody to counseling. I grew up on pulp, Conan and other violent stuff, so I was fairly jaded as to violence.my kid probably sees a lot worse on his video games.Īs far as LWC.their is realistic violence and some gore.I’m not sure if you would call it stylized or not ( I don’t pretend to be any critic/expert.only a passing fan of action comics). Years later when SJ came out, I almost let my 12 year old son read them, until I re read them first and remembered some of the rape/sex scenes. In my case I had bought lots of LWC reprints in the eighties, packed them away. I will fully admit I’m uncomfortable with graphic depictions of violence ( sexual or physical violence) towards women/children. Everyone has different tastes/tolerances/issues. "It was a lot of warrior spirit stuff and honor code, and I really loved that stuff.No offense taken. "Once I started reading that, I really started to get into it and feel even more of a mythos coming out," Tartakovsky said. In addition to American comics, Tartakovsky also took influence from Japanese manga, specifically the series "Lone Wolf and Cub." Penned by Kazuo Koike and illustrated by Goseki Kojima, the manga follows Ogami Itto, a former executioner for the shogun who goes on the run with his infant child after being double crossed. Just take a look at any large scale battle scene in "Samurai Jack" and you'll definitely detect notes of "300." Additionally, it's clear that Tartakovsky took inspiration from Miller's style of formatting action scenes, often stylishly-violent affairs that take up whole pages of the book. If you look at "Ronin" and "300," it's clear where Tartakovsky took influence from, as they have a blockier and more angular design style. He noted a particular fondness for the work of the legendary Frank Miller. "Kung Fu" looks at the physical side of combat as well as the spiritual side, something you can most definitely see in "Samurai Jack." In the show, Caine travels across the American Old West in search of his family's history, attempting to reunite with his lost half-brother Daniel. ![]() Orphaned as a child, Caine wound up training at a Shaolin monastery, becoming skilled in hand-to-hand combat. ” said, 'Hey, remember David Carradine in 'Kung Fu?' And I was like, 'Yeah, that's really cool.' That was literally the pitch."įor those not in the know, "Kung Fu" is a 1972 action-adventure martial arts Western series featuring David Carradine (Bill from Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" films) in the lead role of Kwai Chang Caine. Lazzo recalled his initial conversation with Tartakovsky during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. ![]() After being given the opportunity to make a new series by Cartoon Network, Tartakovsky colluded with Mike Lazzo, who would go on to work on the likes of "Robot Chicken" and "Rick & Morty" in the years that followed.
