So I finally watched Swat Kats. Let's have a thread.
It was pretty fun pulp action, although sometimes the plots meandered. It had the good qualities of '90s X-treme in its campy excess but none of the ponderous self-importance which makes people hate '90s stuff.
Brandon Watson
Jets are the best.
Henry Watson
i always liked things being RADICAL, as long as it never got too grimderp
Sebastian Morgan
I was surprised at the fairly modest role Callie has since she's become a Cred Forums meme. She's more of a Lois Lane supporting character type. I guess memes tend to inflate themselves.
She is pretty cute.
Cooper Sanchez
I was disappointed that there's this time when she hits someone with her ass and there isn't a clear view of it.
Ryder Wilson
She might have hit peak cute when she flirted with Jake (the short one) in episode 2.
Chase Hall
why do the enforcers have sabrejets with split tails? especially when the swat kats have a tomcat they built with garbage, it seems like the enforcers are 30 years out of date
Tyler Diaz
I think she might have done that just to hit at Chance since he spent an entire conversation staring at her tits.
She's a politician so she didn't want to directly antagonize the guy she just asked to fix her car.
Charles Jenkins
Why a lot of things user.
Plus I say it's either more like a Messerschmitt P.1101 or maybe a Saab J29 Tunnan.
Elijah Adams
She seems to like "T-Bone", though. Lois Lane type, indeed.
Sebastian Stewart
Despite this, Chance is a surprisingly big loser. There's that entire episode he spends being a giant load because he can't swim.
Ryder Foster
Chance fails like every macho game he and Jake play and he watches kids' cartoons and read comics. Can you believe it?
Is it a joke that the shorter, scrawnier one is the more manly and competent?
Julian Morgan
I already mentioned he has bad manners with women, but honestly, there should be a limit.
Julian Peterson
...
Isaac Bell
Is it just me or do Callie's tits seem a lot bigger when she's in sweats?
Maybe she wears a minimizer for professional time.
Colton James
Then again, there's this.
Ryan Torres
Oh, Chance is staring again.
Jaxson King
Maybe we can imagine a severe undergarment failure due to the physical stresses of adventuring.
Nathan James
These threads always devolve into 'I want to fuck the news reporter'.
Brody Scott
I would rather fly a jet.
William Carter
those cops get rekt
Jacob Foster
They're cops that operate attack helicopters, jets, and tanks.
Jaxson Clark
One thing that continually mystified me was the portrayal of Commander Feral. The whole recurring cast treat him like a useless blowhard but he actually seems to do his damnedest at every moment. There's that episode where he tried to hit the villain with a rock because it was all he had left.
It seems more just the dictate of the story that he never accomplishes much of anything. He arrives too late or his guns just aren't strong enough but he never gives up.
And he's even right that the Swat Kats are reckless. They blow up a building in an episode because their gun was mis-calibrated and whined that it was "an accident" when Feral bawled them out on TV. If a mushroom monster hadn't already eatern the watchmen they'd have been killed in that explosion!
He's even always respectful of the Mayor and Callie even when they mock him to his face. I ended up liking the guy because he kept getting the short end of the stick.
Cooper Morales
>news reporter >not the police lieutenant
Cameron Morales
tbone x police lt razor x callie
problem solved
Charles Price
What was with the varying levels of cartoon violence? Sometimes there's GI-Joe style just-in-time bailouts and sometimes the Enforcers get massacred.
And then there was the charred corpse in that one episode.
Josiah Nguyen
Considering the threats they face rather regularly, I think it safe to assume their arsenal is as much a thing of necessity. Don't forget that the Metalikats offered to hand him the Swat Kats on a plate, but he told 'em to fuck off.
Joshua Gonzalez
shit just happens naturally I guess
Austin Nguyen

Anthony Garcia
Something that struck me was that this show did two '90s cartoons cliches; time-travel to the future where everything's gone to shit, and alternate universe where the heros are evil and it did both really BADLY.
In the time travel episode, the fucking dumb thug villains the Metallikats are the ones who took over the city, instead of a more ominous villain like Dark Kat, and it doesn't play around much with older versions of the characters. Feral's gone bald and Callie has shorter hair but that's about it.
The fun of alternate universe episodes is shaking up the cast's roles but in this show's take only the Swat Kats themselves and Callie are any different. It would have been cool to see an evil Feral or a heroic Dr. Viper but the episode really phones in it. The silly growling and bickering the evil Swat Kats do is also a pretty lazy way to make them seem evil.
Andrew Sanders
someone post the webm of Callie jumping into a car through the window
David Perez

Elijah Cooper
She's best
Liam Nguyen
doe anyone have pics or webms of callie as a princess?
bonus if it comes with razor with the sword
Dylan Hughes
I don't, sorry. Also that's Callista, her ancestor.
Anthony Sanders
Speaking of which, I really enjoyed the show's refusal to make any sense regarding Megacat City's location. It seems American yet there was a castle there 800 years ago like it's in Europe, but there are also Aztec style pyramids just outside of town )containing Egyptian style mummies), AND there's a tropical island close enough to have a clear view of the skyline.
Jonathan Morgan
Callie was the deputy mayor, user.
This is the news reporter.
Leo Hall
...
Luis Rodriguez
They do? I've been missing out, Ann never used to get much love.
Leo Sanders
He probably mistook Callie for the reporter.
Neat filename, btw.
Ryder Richardson
yeah, that was awesome
Jonathan Parker
Fun fact. These guys were originally suppose to be humans from Earth, but one of the execs didn't like that idea so it was dropped.
Eli Robinson
I saw a few eps years ago, it's ok, I'd have loved it as a kid for sure. I just like Callie and the other girls, the butch and reporter, the show doesn't matter.
The show made me realize I was a degenerate waifu-fag to.
Andrew Sullivan
...it's as if it was a stupid cartoon for children designed to sell plastic toys...
Aiden Scott
Instead they became a Star Trek joke; they look just like the cats but with some dumb shit on their heads.
Jackson Diaz
they are alien cats
Jordan Ortiz
>Callie was the deputy mayor, user.
And?
Easton Allen
the show came first and the toys sold like shit i think
Lucas Smith
reboot never ever
Bentley Brown
fie, fie!
Isaac Miller
>sabrejets looks more like a Tunnan to me
Gabriel Evans
the yellow nose and nose based machine guns are very similar to a sabrejet, though most likely its a composite of many jets, all of them korean era
Caleb Jackson
What are you talking about? Chance can eat more peppers and takes more G's.
James Jones
Should some user email them and ask how it's going?
Lincoln Perez
...
Jayden King
Where can one watch other language dubs of this show?
Connor Myers
I know the spanish version is on youtube.
Jordan Carter
Felina appeals to my like for women that are beautiful while also getting shit done. Callie is more about the overall package of brains and capability.
Cooper Johnson

Jaxon Ward
Feral was competent at his job. He invited mocking because he was rigid and humorless.
Julian Watson
Hey plague
Xavier Rogers
Anyone know the studio that most of the animation? I refuse to believe it wasn't done in Korea?

The Japanese animated season was better. Would fuck Chase.
Brandon Campbell
When I was young, I felt like I was the only dude that liked Swat Kats. It had everything a kid like me needed: action, badassery, chicks, and toys. Imagine my surprise when I learned that they were an obscure cartoon. And imagine my even bigger surprise when I learned that it's getting a reboot. And imagine my even bigger surprise when I learned that you guys here also remember and like the show.
Finally, I am not alone sniff

Gabriel Perry
>it's getting a reboot
It might if a VoD service like Netflix or Amazon picks it up. None of the networks were interested.
Samuel Hughes
I thought it was always because the enforcers have shitty tech. They dont even use missiles. And the times that they do get awesome tech, its stolen away by villains or whatnot.
Bentley Cox
We haven't heard a thing from the tremblay bros in months, VoD services are the only viable thing left
Luke Baker
japanese when?
Liam Morgan
Thread not gay enough for you?
Brandon Sanchez
latest news on the new show was that Warner Bros and Cartoon Network passed on it.
