Ok so this topic comes from this.

Wasserman states that he was denied from working with Saban on the new stuff due to the company stating they had "bad blood".

Wasserman has no idea why according to his posts.

But I have some Ideas:

• Saban was upset that he worked with Disney for a few of the shows. SPD and Mystic Forces unused theme.

This article states this:

You didn’t compose the 1995 Power Rangers movie. What happened?

I wrote “Cross My Line” was because I had the film. I was going to score. I met the head of music of 20th Century Fox, Robert Kraft. They sent me dailies, I scored them. They were thrilled and from what I heard — I can’t prove it — what I heard is Saban did not want my name on as “Composer” because everyone would know who was doing this stuff.

So I was told, you’re not going to the film. They went, “They just don’t feel you could handle it.” I remembering running into Saban CEO Haim Saban and he said, “Sorry, about the film. But to be honest, you’re no John Williams.”

I’ve had people over the years say, “Don’t get angry, revenge is success.” And “Cross My Line,” was, “You cross my line, fuck you.” I’m going to be successful. I may not be John Williams, nobody is John Williams, but you watch. “I Will Win,” written after that, is about “You’ll see.” It’s the same thought extended.

I think these two issues compounded themselves and maybe Saban felt Wassermann wouldn't be faithful to the brand or his company due to the 1995 movie thing.

Who knows though? This is the best speculation I could put together.

Was Cross my line from Turbo? I know ZEO still have Wassermann in some of the songs like "Go Gold Ranger"

I think they should. In a way its not as if they didn't do that before with MMPR season 2.

Fandom rears its head in many different forms.

There are many types of CFB fan.

1. The One Team Obsessor - truly and singularly obsessed with their team and only their team, combining traits of other fans but only as far as it concerns their team. Needs to be reminded not to tweet at croots. Thinks their school's new coach could be the next Nick Saban.

2. The Narrative Follower - kinda likes one team but not that crazy. Mostly checks for an interesting story to follow, like when could Kansas actually be good, or Tom Rinaldi's latest sob story on GameDay. Loves the underdog. Probably picks a team to root for in each conference around week 4. Likely cares a little too much about the Heisman.

3. The Gambler - Loves sports betting. Got into CFB later and probably prefers pro sports for pure entertainment and fandom, but loves the rush of having $100 on the over during the late night Wyoming @ Hawaii game. Numbers junkie and has figured out a few of Vegas' tricks to fool bullish Michigan or Florida fans.

4. The Whole Hog Watcher - finds something interesting at all levels football. Wants to see a game at South Dakota School of Mines' drive-in football stadium. Can find a stream to the D3 playoffs and will make a tradition out of the Stagg Bowl. Very confused as to why bowls are still a thing in the FBS. Probably has a superiority complex because they decided to like James Madison the off-season before they knocked off North Dakota State. Probably enjoys HBCU ball.

5. The Systems Analyst - could talk your ear off about why teams punch above their weight because of O-line hole responsibilities or could tell why an "exotic blitz" really is exotic. Xs & Os do not mean the same thing on Valentine's Day. Probably enjoys military history.

6. The Recruiting Enthusiast - avidly follows recruiting and 247 pages, checking crystal ball predictions to see who will probably be good in 3 years. Knower of some NCAA regulations like what you can do during dead periods. Knows not to tweet at croots. Probably a little confused why Texas and USC struggle so much. Can tell you the pipelines for individual schools in his area. Big players' rights advocate.

7. The Historian - thinks college ball is better than the pros because it's older. Can rattle off the national title winners all the way back to WW2. Thinks Rutgers should really be better than it is. Confused as to why the Northeast stopped caring about CFB so much and why the Southeast is the sports home. Wis

Probably gonna be among the weirder/more obscure bastards, like the one about the doctor who went around mutilating womens' genitals. Simply put, this is about a guy who creates a company with the purpose of licensing movies from companies like Paramount for broadcast rights and selling them for a higher price. In the mid-1980s, his company licenses three Japanese anime shows and frankensteins the two to form a show of its own: Robotech. Soon afterwards, the company goes moribund as it loses its employees to Saban Entertainment (Haim Saban might make for a future Bastards episode).

After a few years of inactivity, Harmony Gold USA starts doing real estate, financially rejuvenating them (especially as their real estate stuff was expensive houses in west LA). In the late 1990s, his company trademarks the Macross franchise outside of Japan whilst a lawsuit in Japan was ongoing regarding a copyright dispute in an attemp to protect their moribund Robotech franchise. Harmony Gold has used this to sue anyone who has anything remotely resembling Macross, most notably Battletech. They even sued Hasbro over a San Diego Comic Con exclusive toy, with said lawsuit being dismissed with extreme prejudice. It wouldn't be until the late 2010s that their claims started to be challenged by the original Japanese IP owners. This ultimately concluded in a truce in March 2021, as Harmony Gold was well on the losing end as they could no longer back up their deluded claims.

Did I mention he was friends with Silvio Burlesconi, and they got caught in a tax fraud scandal, with the latter getting jailed for it.

If this episode gets made, BTB should get Gwyn Campbell (host of the DecultureShock podcast https://www.decultureshock.com/) as a guest for the podcast. It's kind of long so it might need 2 episodes. Also, coordinating with Gwyn will be difficult as he lives in Tokyo (16 hour difference from Los Angeles).

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

A Dad.

Being as I ran out of space in the first one, I made this second part.

Doozy Bots / Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 / Wing

This doesn’t technically count, because Doozy Bots was not the product of some American studio not understanding anime, rather it was the product of Sunrise not understanding the American market. It was just a bad idea overall, this was after shows like Robotech had aired, it was the early 90s, kids didn’t want a show like this anymore. So it was simply not picked up and remains a “What If?” Interestingly though, some elements of it were used for SD Gundam Force, which did air in the US. This was one of the weirder things on the list, because it was just a bad concept to begin with. And even worse, the wheelchair kid became the Guntank in this!

It took until 2000, to finally see Gundam on TV and it was worth the wait. Because in 2000, we got Mobile Suit Gundam Wing(Narrated by Optimus Prime himself, Peter Cullen) on Toonami. The daytime version had things such as blood, the word “kill” and profanity censored, but the Midnight Run version was fully uncensored, making it the first time something had run uncensored on Cartoon Network. In this sense, it was history for anime in the US.

Following the success of Wing, the original series, Mobile Suit Gundam, aired on Toonami, but was quickly cancelled due to the 9/11 Attacks. Due to media censorship of violence and war, a lot of shows were temporarily cancelled, but came back soon after, except for Gundam. What happened exactly? We don’t know exactly, it had great ratings, so why wasn’t it brought back? Allegedly it was due to the animation being old, the Network felt it would be “Too distracting” for viewers and just didn’t bring it back. There were also rumors that Zeta would be aired, but it never did.

The animation quality is based off of a leaked internal memo from Cartoon Network. It makes sense, but the ratings were good, so ultimately 9/11 was an excuse.

• Toonami became the home of Gundam in the US, up until 00, which aired on SciFi's AniMonday. The latest series, Iron Blooded Orphans also aired on Toonami though.

• The US release of Zeta had its opening changed, due to a rights issue.

Sailor Moon

In the early 90s

Martin Freeman, and Andy Serkis.

They also play roles in Lord of the Rings.

I guess that makes them the Tolkien white guys.
