The Coolest Cartoon Characters of All Time

10. The Lupin Crew: Lupin the Third

Lupin the Third & his gang may be the coolest group you've ever seen. Let's start with Lupin, the master thief with the heart of gold. Always looking for a big score whether it's with valuables or with the women. Jigen, his best friend. So cool, he's a dead shot with any weapon, even though his eyes are always covered by his hat. Then we got Goemon, the samurai. His sword can cut through anything, but he has his honor to keep him in line. Finally, there's Fujiko. Is she a friend or foe? You never know, but she's just as good a thief as Lupin.

9. Goliath: Gargoyles

We all know that being cool is the only way that you can be purple & not have your ass kicked all over the place. Goliath is the leader of a bunch of Gargoyles that were turned to stone, only to return to life in the modern times. This man was cool. He even turned on human women. Rock on Goliath.

8. Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe

In the comics, Snake Eyes was the definition of cool. Mysterious, silent, a killer. True, in one episode of the TV series, Snake Eyes wore a dress. But, it was a disguise! I keep telling myself that, because otherwise, in the cartoon, Snake Eyes was a cool dude. He did what he had to do & saw it through without exemption. Yes, he did it his way. Most of the time, Snake Eyes would go off on his own to get the job done.

7. Afro Samurai: Afro Samurai

Silent, looking for revenge, smoking weed, killing all kinds of motherfuckers! Afro Samurai is one cool mutha fucka! Thought to just be a legend, Afro Samurai takes on all comers who try to take away his #2 headband & so far, nobody's been able to do it.

6. James T. Kirk: Star Trek the Animated Series

Alright, I know it's cheap taking a live-action character & using him on this list by using his crappy Filmation version, but Kirk is a cool fucker. And by fucker, I mean fucker. He fucked anything that moved. From green women to women with hair taller than the size of their heads. He didn't take shit from nobody either. He thought nothing of shoving a photon torpedo up your ass. No doubt Kirk makes this list.

5. Samurai Jack: Samurai Jack

Yes, another samurai. Samurai's are just cool. This one gets thrown into the future by an evil force known as Aku. In this future, Aku has taken over the world & so Jack has to fight all sorts of evil monsters, eventually getting to Aku himself. Of course, Jack's sword never breaks & can cut through everything & anything. Naturally, being a samurai, he uses his sword much more than his words, which is cool.

4. Batman: Batman the Animated Series

Not the shitty Filmation version, not the wimpy Tim Burton version, not the grunty boring Christian Bale version, but the version from Batman:The Animated Series. This Batman is cool. His voice is cool, his actions are cool. What else do you need? Nothing, that's what. Coolness in a cowl.

3. Racer X: Speed Racer

A race car driver who became a spy. He's so good at his job, that even his own family doesn't know who he is. A master of martial arts & the best driver in the world. Oh, did I mention he kills motherfuckers during these races? Yes he does....yes, he does.

2. Optimus Prime: The Transformers

He's a giant robot. He's a semi truck. He's the leader of a group of other robots that fight other giant robots. He has an axe, he has a gun. He kicks ass & he is cool. He's really not more than meets the eye. What you see is what you get. Coolness.

1. Brock Samson: The Venture Brothers

Take Race from the Jonny Quest show. Give him a mullet. Give him a knife. Give him cigarettes. Then, make him the most kick-ass character in cartoon history. You got Brock Samson. Basically, he babysits two little wimps. He always winds up like this....

And he's happy doing it.

12 Movies they should make a sequel to

(In the low announcer voice)In a world where there are no more original ideas, there is a sea of shitty sequels. Since there's no stopping them, I would like them to make a few of movies I actually give a shit about. Here are some movies that I loved, or at least liked enough to want to see more. On each of these, I'm going to write a short idea of what I would like to see if they ever did make a sequel. Hopefully, some movie maker will see this list & get these done.

UPDATE 2019: Note how many of these got a sequel after I said they should. There are some in talks right now. Note that my ideas would have been better than what they wound up doing.

Tron
A video game creator named Flynn gets zapped into the computer world, where he helps a security program defeat an evil program.
I heard they are actually making a sequel, due out in 2011. The story is being kept under wraps, but here's what I would do.

What the sequel should be:
It's now many years later. Flynn now runs a huge video game company. We see some geeky hacker trying to get into Flynn's system to steal some ideas. Inside the computer world, we see Tron is still around. However, he's now been upgraded & spends his time fighting computer viruses (with a bunch of cool fighting scenes). Tron can now transform his body & he now has many more gadgets than just his frisbee. He hears about the hacker's "program" & tries to intercept him. But, the hacker's guy kicks the shit out of Tron & attacks Flynn's computer. Other programs in the system see that Tron has been taken out. A small group of other programs that have nothing to do with security, band together to attack the hacker's program before he makes it back to the hacker's computer with the information. of course, they stop him. To celebrate, Flynn's newest game is about this band of programs.

The Last Starfighter
Alex Rogan, a kid from Earth beats a video game. He is recruited by a group of aliens to fight against an evil armada. Naturally, he wins.

What the sequel should be:
The Kodan armada is pissed at Alex Rogan. The good news for the bad guys, is now they know about Earth. So, they decide to attack Earth & they do it successfully or at least partially. They take over California & set up a base there. All efforts to attack them end in vain. The Kodan slowly start to move across the United States. Meanwhile, Alex & Grig, who have been training a new group of Starfighters, is oblivious to the fact that Earth is in trouble. Louis, Alex's brother who is now in his 20s, is able to break into one of the Kodan's base with a group around his age, to send a message to Alex. Alex & the Starfighters take off toward Earth. They start attacking the Kodan base. But, the base is protected by a shield. When all seems lost, Louis & his group join the fight by destroying the shield from inside, and even stealing a few Kodan ships. Naturally, Earth wins.

Van Helsing
What if James Bond was a monster hunter? That's basically it. Van Helsing kills some of movie's greatest monsters.

What the sequel should be:
Basically more of the same, but with more Kate Beckinsdale in tight clothing. The Frankenstein's Monster is reborn. But, this time the Monster is truly evil. He's on a rampage, killing villagers left & right, & destroying things like an unstoppable Juggernaut. The strange thing is that the dead villagers are returning from the dead as zombies. The Monster is able to control these zombies & uses them as his own personal army. Van Helsing & Anna (Beckinsdale in tight clothing), are able to find the Monster (after killing 200+ zombies & the Creature From the Black Lagoon) & they find out that his body is inhabited with the "soul" of Dracula. But, that's not even the big secret of the movie. The person behind the whole thing is an evil scientist. When Drac/Monster realizes he's being played a fool, he joins Van Helsing in stopping the scientist. At the end, the Monster destroys himself....supposedly. Mwahahaha!

The Thing
A shape shifting alien takes over a group of people living in the Arctic, killing them.

Yeah, I want to see more of this ugly thing!

What the sequel should be:
The Thing makes it to South America, where he tries to replace a small village. The monster would be much cooler as it would be able to take the form of or parts of different animals. The village fights back against the alien, & seems to win. But, a small part of the alien makes its way onto a plane headed towards New York.

The Incredibles
A family of superheroes comes out of hiding & stops a bad guy's plot.

What the sequel should be:
The Incredible kids are grown up now. Violet is now married & has a child. Dash is a ladies man, but has a regular girlfriend now. Jack is all grown up & moved out. In the news there are stories of a group of super powered villains doing evil deeds & robbing ancient artifacts. The Incredibles investigate, but can't figure out who's behind it. They think it's Jack behind the whole thing. It winds up that it's Violet's husband & Dash's girlfriend.

Beavis & Butthead Do America
The guys travel across the U.S. because they think they're gonna get laid. They wind up in a plot about a virus & the government chases them. They never get laid.

Huh huh!

What the sequel should be:
This is the story I told a guy from MTV, when he told me they were making a Beavis & Butthead movie & they couldn't think of anything. The guys find out that prostitution is legal, so they travel across the U.S. because they think they're gonna get laid. They get caught up in a plot where the government chases them. They never get laid.
In any case, these guys need to be back on the big screen.

Deep Rising
A monster attacks a giant cruise ship. 3 people kill the monster & escape to an island. Apparently on the island, there are more monsters.

What now?!

What the sequel should be:
Just pick the movie up where it left off. These guys are on the island & there's some giant monster. The 3 use the island's resources to kill the monster. Simple, yet entertaining.

Galaxy Quest
Old "Star Trek" actors wind up being recruited by real aliens into fighting a war for them.

What the sequel should be:
The group's show is a big hit, but weird things start happening on the set. Things that could only happen with alien technology. The cast starts to disappear. A secondary character from the show is in cahoots with an alien in a plot to get rid of the actors, so he can become the star. A "Quester" fan rescues the group & becomes a member of the show.

History of the World Part 1
A comedy set in different times in human history.

Groovis!

What the sequel should be:
JEWS IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!!! Although Mel Brooks never meant for the "preview of part 2" scenes to ever be made, I think they should be done as well as a few full-length scenes.

Time Bandits
A bunch of time-traveling little people go around stealing stuff.

4 foot 1!

What the sequel should be:
They are still going around stealing, but it seems that someone is beating them to the punch. They chase the unknown thief through time. When they catch up to him, they find out that it's Kevin, the kid from the first movie, who's now an adult. He spent his life trying to replicate the map & finally does. The Supreme Being shows up to put a stop to it all, destroying both maps, leaving Kevin & the Bandits stranded somewhere in time. But, the world starts to change for the worse. They find out that the Evil Genius has his own map & is traveling around changing history & making the Earth a literal Hell on Earth. The Bandits & Kevin find a crazy man, who has a theory about time portals & helps them to find the portal to the Evil Genius' fortress. They stop the Evil Genius & as a reward, the Supreme Being gives the group a map to "The Most Fabulous Object in the World".

Titan A.E.
The Earth is blown up by aliens. An Earthling named Cale travels in space to find a spaceship that can "create" a new world. He destroys the evil aliens & creates a new world.

What the sequel should be:
Everything seems to be going well on the new Earth, but the weather starts to change for the worst. Earthquakes, hurricanes, severe lightning storms, snow storms, the works. They can't figure our what's wrong with the planet, but Cale's son & his friends find out that some industrialist is drilling deep under ground & causing instability around the planet. They get a band together & venture into the planet's core to shut down the operation. But is it too late? Ask Al Gore.

Undercover Brother
A spy spoof about a black secret agent.

Get me Undercover Brother!

What the sequel should be:
A spy spoof about a black secret agent. No need to revamp Undercover Brother. He's fine just the way he is.
