[The Doctor]

I'll have a look!

-Ralph

[greebtron]

Since last post have been adding whatever I can find online. Numerous Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends and GI Joe model sheets. One and two-pagers of Jem music video storyboards as well as delving into the post-Marvel era with The Tick Writer's Guide.

Also linking to the full G.I Joe episodes released by the official Hasbro channel, as well as full Defenders Of The Earth episodes from the official King Features channel. Next one up will be the Prince Valiant crossover Terror In Time, for which the full storyboard is up.

[greebtron]

Added a new section looking at unproduced projects. Currently have Marvel's last ditch attempt to revive the Hulk cartoon in 1983, by making him more like the live-action version and bringing She-Hulk in as a regular. Air Raiders in 1987, the Sunbow/Marvel toy-cartoon that never came to be. Finally, a load of concept art and pilot storyboard from Siegfried & Roy. Something Marvel management were pinning their hopes on as the company was dying on the vine in 1992.

Unproduced projects

[greebtron]

Haven't updated the thread in a while. Added whatever bits and bobs I can find. Whole bunch of model sheets/cels from Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends and GI Joe, as well as various one and two-page storyboards from Jem musiv videos.

Also, through some judicious cropping of online magazine scans from back in the day, managed to get some GI Joe stuff. Got the model design notes from the script and a page of storyboard from early season 1 episode Haul Down The Heavens. Plus, managed to assemble six pages of storyboard from season 2 episode The Million Dollar Medic:

Having watched Ron Friedman's GI Joe stories recently, what's the odds the Air Raiders pilot would have followed all of his usual story beats?

Oh, Vegas wouldn't have taken that bet. Though with it being a three-parter, I expect it might have trainwrecked because he wouldn't know what to do with it. Same thing with Arise, Serpentor, Arise. Because he is having to reach a story conclusion created by someone else (the basic Serpentor origin story that all the other season 2 writers had been working from before him). He can't figure out how to jam it into his same old plot and so during part 4 and 5, the story starts to go round in circles.

I watched him last week on the Con2Couch stream with Flint Dille, Buzz Dixon and Doug Booth. He was swearing up a storm and going off on tangents unrelated to the actual topic of his animation writing. It also confirmed for me something I felt reading his TF work: he has this arrogant attitude that he thinks he knows better than anyone else in the profession and would not be told, not even by those who were paying him.

[greebtron]

Made my first purchase in the name of preservation. An ebay store is auctioning several items on behalf of Mike Vosburg (Marvel Comics and Productions). Among them are a storyboard set from The Bands Break Up, which I snapped up. It should be here by the end of the month, but for now I've posted the 12 preview photos from the auction:

I saw this the other week too and definitely felt that the other writers were humouring him. With the panel being chaired by Flint Dille, I had a small hope that the authorship of the final TF:TM script might have come up as a discussion point, but, inevitably, it didn't. The most that this was alluded to was his professing not to be able to discern the dialogue when watching the premiere; just as well, if it was Dille's dialogue.

Throughout his time on that stream, I was counting down to when he would say something that one of the other three knew to be a complete lie to make himself look good. When he left partway through it felt a lot more easy going.

Whether he knows it or not, Friedman has the mentality of "Never let the truth be an obstacle to getting yourself over."

[greebtron]

Done a bit of a re-working of the place. Put the show links at the top and added cover page previews of as much of the material as I can.

Hoping that makes things easier for visitors.

[greebtron]

As the official Hasbro YouTube releases of GI Joe that I link to are at the halfway mark. I've decided to split the show up, same as with TF. Season 2 and Movie material can now be found at: sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot.com/2020/07/mp-600-gi-joe-real-american-hero-1983.html

It is Buy One Get One Free week as I've received another Jem music video. There's A Melody Playin' from In Search Of The Stolen Album. Drawn by Vicky Jenson (the future director of Shrek) and taking visual ideas from Papa Don't Preach, which had only been released as a single on June 11th:

[greebtron]

Make it three. Got the boards for Love's Not Easy, drawn by comics legend Romeo Tanghal. Due to Jem season 1 having the same problems as TF season 3, where original animation was reduced to 19 minutes per episode. This music video was cut entirely and never animated. The song would get re-used later down the line in season 2

[greebtron]

Managed to get the Sunbow press kit for Air Raiders. A primer for the 1987 cartoon that would never be:

Received the Robotix show bible and episode recap scripts (As would have been read by Victor Caroli) to join the existing Beats outline sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot.com/2020/02/mp-4000-specials-pilots-miniseries-and.html

Something I stumbled upon this week. The Biker Mice From Mars fansite, untouched since 1998, which had two full scripts transcribed on it. I've salvaged them and put them in proper script format:

Starting an ongoing project to add relevant sections of Toyfair catalogues to the various show pages. The listings to keep track of which ones are added is at: sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot.com/2021/03/april-2021-update.html

[greebtron]

Not had anything substantive to post in a while. But last night I got a surprise. Full storyboard sets for the Inhumanoids episodes The Evil Eye and Primal Passions.

sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot.com/p/mp-5206-inhumanoids-1986-sunbow.html

[greebtron]

Bit of an unusual one. Another piece of the Flint Dille collection which I have been given permission to post by it's new owner. Flint's first animation script, an episode of the Mr.T cartoon for Ruby-Spears. Co-written with Steve Gerber and Martin Pasko.

sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot.com/p/other-showscompanies.html

[greebtron]

Had a lot of Visionaries material come my way. The show bible, three of Flint Dille's unproduced scripts (back when it was going to kick off with a five-part miniseries) and six of his produced ones: sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot.com/p/870108-visionaries-1987-sunbow.html
