They were like a funnier, better animated, edgier Captain Planet who I also loved. I had most of the episodes recorded on VHS, action figures of most of them and collected every comic and most of the trading card set. I met Lloyd Kaufman as an adult and he's very, very nice and fun. Had him sign my dvd of Troma's War and my special edition of the masterpiece that is Poultrygeist.
I had Lloyd look at my town's VHS copy of Toxic Avenger (Tom very graciously introduced me). He said he didn't have that particular copy, as it was the very first VHS run. Brilliant quality, I even rumpled the tape on the smexy bit(s), still np. Anyway he signed it... met his wife, also sharp and endearing.
Goddamn did I love my xenomorph figure, too. You'd squeeze the back of it's head and it's retractable mouth thing comes out.
Thought that was cool AF, seeing the commercials... my Ma loved the OG Alien, dunno if she caught Aliens.
What about that weird era in the 90s when every Jim Carrey movie was a cartoon series? There were 3 running simultaneously I think. Ace Ventura, the Mask, and I think Dumb and Dumber got a cartoon too.
Could be said of previous decades, which I decline to list. For me, got a kick out of Thundaar the Barbarian (guessing based on Conan, that twisted Texan's treatises :3... but we in the old days were conditioned to face an uncertain future (which is oddly becoming true)
