Anyone else who watched this series back in the day? I admit to reading some of the original comics, and while Todd McFarlane is an amazing artist, he’s kind of an average writer. But the HBO series which aired in the late 90’s is something special. I have to give McFarlane credit as a visionary who knew what he wanted out of this series, and the team that brought that vision to life created something a lot better than the source material. It’s hauntingly atmospheric, and in spite of the bleak and dark setting, there’s strong themes of hope and redemption as Al Simmons struggles to overcome his inner demons to find salvation for his soul.
Not to mention Keith David’s performance and the dialogue he was given. This is easily the most badass version of Spawn.
Spawn Movie Will Be A Woke Disaster!

This is a globalist, corporate welfare thing. Maybe China, the UN, or all other countries are doing this just to break the USA or break the west? Russia and China ban woke stuff in their own countries. So does the Taliban. I was never a Spawn fan, but I really like McFarlanes art on Hulk and Spider-man. In fact, in a way, I think Marvel collapsed when Liefeld and McFarlane left. People got hooked on their art and they left. At this point, I am into indie material and comicsgate stuff and do not care about Marvel, DC, Disney or Star Wars or Spawn.
I have other thoughts and comments on the new racism he’s talking about, but maybe I’ll share them later. Basic pt. I have is that I used to think diversity was exotic, but as whites become the minority, whites become the exotic people.
Todd McFarlane Says New Spawn Movie Will Be Woke! Way To Kill ANY Interest Your Real Fans Will Have!

This is not how you get people excited for a movie….
It sucks that I was never into Spawn or DeadPool. I was into the Marvel stuff.
haha, Roas says are u tellin me SJWs are gonna see Spawn, even if it is woke? LOL. Yeah, no kiddin
Spawn would be the perfect woke antidote, since the protagonist and many other characters are “POC”, long before the wokeism waves came. Todd should not care about it, he should just care about quality. I loved the comics and the 90s show (besides the intro scenes where Todd talked… he’s weird and cringe).
Todd is a talented creator and artist, but he also has some social issues… he’s not very clever… and he’s easy to be manipulated.
Also, recently I saw this random video on his IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/CS06zB8jd7E/
Why throw it in the trash?? Could’ve donated, sold, giveaway, saved… so weird :/
