It won't be TV-MA


Just a stupid rumor. Most likely it will be TV-14, and it should be. The charm would be lost with a TV-MA rating.

Samurai Jack has always been dark but never gory.

I don't think it's going to be as bad as people think. There has been blood in the show before. If they went full on Nolan with this the show would lose a big chunk of its fan base.

You know the one thing I hated about the old episodes? Those goddamned robots! Only reason they were there was to be hacked up by Jack without bloodshed or moral repercussions. What I really hated was the fact that Jack would fight a monster that appears to be flesh and blood, but the moment he chopped it up it out turn out to be a robot. This was always anticlimactic for me. When I see a creature, I want to be a friggin' creature.

I hope that the new episodes don't become too grim. Much of my favourite episodes were the comedic ones. That said, I don't mind a bit of blood now and again. Even the old episodes could have gone with Disney's Hercules route, where Jack could chop up a creature and it would shed green (and therefore unoffensive) blood.

Don't get too angry, folks; Jony DaBrony is going through a life crisis, right now. He's trying to decide whether to ask his Mom to sew him a bigger set of My Little Pony footy pajamas, or to just continue sleeping in his Rainbow Dash fursuit.

He is more to be pitied than censured.

TV-MA would suck. I'm even ok with TV-PG or even TV-Y7. If it gets TV-14 I'm ok with that as well, but TV-M gives me the feeling it would be out of very bad taste.

Why are you being so condescending?

How is saying "you have been exposed to too much waste not condescending." He feels it shouldn't be too violent and you act like his opinion is just wrong because he's "been exposed to too much waste?" Does the show need to be violent for the creators to fully express themselves?

Making Samurai TV-MA would be going full potato.

That old Nickelodeon show Ren and Stimpy was revived with a TV-MA rating and it just overall sucked. Everything was way too forced. It got cancelled because of low ratings.

reply

This is due to immmature people erroneously equating MA with 'mature', as in a more in-depth and intelligent take on something. Instead, it just means overflowing with mindless profanity and violence... about a 'mature' as a high school locker room.

Yeah...looks more deserving of a TV-14 rating to me...but the TV rating system is almost as much of a bad joke as the MPAA one, so who can say

I want it to be bolder than the previous seasons (I hated it when a monster turned out to be a robot all along)...but I won't want it to be TOO nasty either. Like how some of Toonami animes can be a bit much (Right, Akame ga Kill and Deadman Wonderland...
