Vanilla vs. Chocolate; Mac vs PC; Cena vs. Orton; Macho Man Randy Savage vs. Hulk Hogan...

All of these choices mean nothing compared to this one choice: which cartoon would you bring back: Megas XLR or Samurai Jack. I know, it's a hard choice, probably the hardest in all your life. Susie's choice (I forget I think that's the name for it I know it was a girl's name and I think it was French). If you haven't watched either of these two great titans of cartoons... what are you doing? Where have you been? Go to YouTube right now and watch one episode of each miss/mister, o' you gon' get the beatdown!

TO sum it up pretty nicely both were around during what I like to call,"Cartoon Network's Golden Age," back when we had DBZ, Johnny Bravo, and of course Dexter's Laboratory. Then there was Megas XLR and Samurai Jack:eek:ne about a gaming gear-head who souped up a beat up giant robot from the future and turned it into a giant robot car in order to pick up chicks and smash stuff which leads to a quest to save the future and the other about a time traveling Japanese swordsman with an American name sent forward in time to gather enough skill to defeat the demon that has created this evil future (sorta like Ocarina of Time in a sense). From a certain perspective you could say both are parodies of anime genres: Megas showing what any normal person would do with a giant robot and Samurai Jack depicting what you'd expect from a swordsman anime, going so far as to actually have Jack imitate one character from an anime(I dunno his name I think it was Wolf? Something about a baby). Needless to say both were great and their fanbase is still strong today, almost in a state of hopeful hibernation, waiting for these deities return(I mean if Thundercats and Voltron get a reboot why not these two).

Anyways, through a strange series of events including a flaming sword, a school of piranha men army men, a giant missile launching squid, and an epic battle on the moon of Endor, you have been given the honor of restoring one of these great cartoons, BUT ONLY ONE! FOR THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE! HIGHLANDER RULES! (And also the Highlander rules.) Not only will they bring back the cartoons but they will also rehire the studio and staff that made the shows and make new episodes and seasons as well. Alright so choose:Megas XLR or Samurai Jack! Feel free to post why or post videos supporting you view. Get to postin' my fellow 'scapists!

I'm kinda of caught between a rock and a hard place, on one hand I have the greatest giant robot show ever(no exceptions or arguments, if forced to compete in a giant robot tourney I would choose the Megas as my vehicle to fight with) and on the other I have an epic saga that never ended, it's like bringing out dessert and the check before you even order dinner. If I had to I'd say Megas because I'm pretty sure a large enough riot will have been produced by this that will lead to Samurai Jack being brought back in order to calm the masses.

POLL IS BROKEN, please put post in format like this

Megas xlr of course! It blended humor with action very competently. Thank you for reminding me of it.

I'd have to say Samurai Jack, moooostly because I haven't ever watched Megas XLR. I only actually heard of that show a little while ago for the first time, maybe its because I'm in Canada.

But Samurai Jack did air here and I watched the hell out of that. I loved it, one of my favourite western cartoons of all time. It was so packed full of style and class it was almost unbelievable. And the Wolf thing you're thinking of is Lone Wolf and Cub. Which they also made the English movie Shogun Assassin from.

I second this. Nothing can beat the crazy weirdness that is Earthworm Jim.

Alright, out of those I'd go for Jack. But mostly because I think Megas is made of ugly.

Samurai jack was better, it had some quite adult moments for a kids show and was very unpretentious, but it had its time and there is no real need to bring it back..Megas xlr was a dime a dosen show, really i don't get this kind of action and the humour you can find other places better.What we need is space ghost coast to coast, or even just air it more.

Neigther. When they bring back old cartoons, they always fail. The loony Toons show, which is the new loony toons, is bad, and a new thundercats is comming out, it looks bad so far,

This is about cartoons not video games
I lol'd.


It was cartoon, and it was absolutely hilarious.


Before your time maybe?
Touche sir, touche. Tell the truth I was born 'round '95 back when The Mask cartoons series debuted (i think that was the greatest revival of slapstick humor in years). So judging by the animation styling combined with the ridiculous villains and friends including the disregard for laws of nature and quality I'd say this cartoon came out oh say... 1997?

Still the fact remains that you must make a choice between Megas and Samurai Jack!

Ducktales and that airplane cartoon with Baloo. Don't remember the name, but I grew up with those cartoons. Much better than the crap that gets produced these days.

Megas was not a dime a dozen show and we need Samurai Jack back because it was never finished! I wish I was lying right now, but Cartoon Network never allowed for Samurai Jack to be finished with a proper ending.

Hehe, sorry. The wall of text got the better of me.
Have to go with Samurai Jack then. Have hardly seen it, but as I have never seen the other one it feels like the only choice.


...Ducktales was frickin' awesome though.
