Hmm, didn't link images and won't let me edit

I can't imagine this compares to the Patrick Warburton version.

He reallyisThe Tick to me.

Edit: Wow, time has not been kind to my memory. For some reason I thought he voiced the cartoon, too. I guess I really mixed up the cartoon series and live action one in my head big time. I barely remember if the live action one was worth a shit.

Costume looks like shit but Serafinowicz is amazing and hilarious

Cantatus · Jul 21, 2016

I'm surprised this is coming so soon. It seems like this was just announced.

I like the actor they chose to replace Warburton, but fuck I think I like the looks from the old TV show better.

Homsar · Aug 1, 2016

Didnt even realized Rorschach is The Terror

Hoss · Aug 2, 2016

What is this? Where do I watch it?

Harshaw · Aug 2, 2016

It's gonna be on Amazon Prime I believe. Or whatever torrent site you use.

Cantatus · Aug 2, 2016

Yeah, Amazon Prime, starts August 19th.

I'm wondering if they decide to go for campy. I hope so.

Hatorade · Aug 19, 2016

Great episode, awesome Tick! Shitty cliffhanger.

Kovaks · Aug 19, 2016

Will watch but there is no way it can live up to the old Warburton one. I still throw that on every once in a while.

Cybsled · Aug 20, 2016

Watched the pilot. Good opener, hope it gets a full order. I imagine the other characters will show up if it goes to series.

Madikus · Aug 21, 2016

It was OK. Didn't care for the guy playing Tick. Costume sucked too =\ JCVJ was much better for me on the amazon pilot list.

Haus · Aug 21, 2016

Watched this last night and openly actually laughed more than once.

My only gripe (as already mentioned) is that I'm having trouble liking the suit. Writing was spot on, and you could tell Edlund was on line and involved with it. Casting was solid across the board for me. We were debating on if they would go the Die Fledermaus angle, or Bat Manuel.... Has yet to be seen.

Disclaimer : I have loved pretty much every iteration of the Tick, including the live action, anime and comics. So take my opinion with pre-requisite grain of salt.

Homsar · Aug 21, 2016

I really enjoyed the pilot and thought Peter did great as Tick, didnt realize he was going to sound so similar to the cartoon. Suit is fucking terrible
