Interesting but not amazing..?


Didn't think it was funny at all, hardly a comedy. The only thing I didn't really jive with was Tick himself. I like this Arthur and the darker setting, the mental issues, etc

I just don't see how the other lame-o superheroes will fit in without the broadness of the comedy. I loved the other show, Bat Manuel was no diefledermouse(?) but he was funny as hell. Only american maid was ruined.

As for the arthur and tick being the same...? I like the idea that were all discussing it at least, that's a new spin and I think is the most interesting aspect of the show even if it is old hat (in a fight club sense).

Something I'd like to comment on... Why was Arthur the only one left alive (the violence and swearing caught me off guard. The terror scene was pretty violent imo) when the Terror struck? Does that mean he is actually nigh invulnerable? As far as we know that's the first time his tick appears. The night light scene was weird. That scene almost solidifies that tick can't be 'real'...if his nightlight was talking to him in the ticks voice.

Just for laughs I'll say this is all happening inside warburton's head, like a newhart type ending to the show.

While I found it interesting and would cotinue to watch it for sure - JCVD blows this away. It's not even a contest (I could careless about the other show, the name is such a cheap joke I refuse o watch it).

It's funny beacuse you seem to like the parts that most people dislike.

Anyway didn't The Terror spare Arthur because he was a kid?
