Genndy's Scrapbook: The Story of Genndy Tartakovsky - Samurai Jack DVD Extras

Hearing Mako narrating is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

[@dariushcreates]

yeah. I thought it was nice for Mako to do this to tribute his fellow friend and colleague. He must have had fun playing Aku. :) Sad he is gone :/

[@Maverickslayer744]

Genndy Tartakovsky, for every 90's cartoon network kid, you ARE childhood. We cannot thank you enough for the great adventures you've shown us in all of your shows.

[@Maverickslayer744]

***** I'm talking about the ones from the 90's. Yes, they exist. While Dexter's Lab was the only one he actually created from that timeline, he did also help with other shows, like Tiny Tunes.

[@simonhilsinger9853]

Maverickslayer744 He also animation direction work with Miles Thompson, Chris Savino, and others

[@DeathBringer769]

Maverickslayer744 Yep, he worked on Powerpuff Girls as well... many classic shows that he didn't create himself.

[@homurafisure4090]

+Maverickslayer744 Amen

[@sladikk]

Genndy didn't really come into his own until Samurai Jack, Star Wars, and Sym Bionic Titan.

[@Mr.Nin10do.]

Genndy is the Jack Kirby of animation, he was a hard worker and passionate about his art, and in the end he would always get screwed by the higher ups, getting his shows cancelled

[@hoseadavit3422]

Samurai Jack....

[@米空軍パイロット]

He would always reach the time portal, but Aku would always destroy it.

[@AvariceOverlord]

I feel like this happens far too many times to talented artists, regardless of the medium. Shame to think some visions and dreams may never be seen because a person who doesn't understand the art itself, didn't make enough money.

[@Nintendofan781]

@@AvariceOverlord ikr thats why alot of good shit doesn't get recoginzed anymore. these studios won't put in the money for original content instead its all reused.

Yes Primal was next level! It should win awards and be extended!

[@rol0tonybrowntown686]

This guy is fucking amazing. He is legend. Hes better than hollywood directors. Hes better than the people in charge. He should have his own network.

[@June-of4wi]

tartakovsky's name already mark in my head since i was a kid because i grew up watching his works. thank you

[@lancedudero4318]

Me too i watch Dexter's Lab.

[@sladikk]

There are two main things that make Genndy amazing. For one, his designs are MEANT to be animated, they don't look good on their own in still images, but they're perfect for movement. And Genndy's the master at timing and visual presentation over dialogue--something that most directors struggle with.

[@musiclover_kb4913]

Yeah, he even talked about that in the Powerpuff Girls behind the scenes documentary. He had trouble with character designing while PPG's creator Craig McCracken wasn't very good with animation and timing, so they helped each other with their weaknesses

[@klmnkrstf9733]

Genndy Tartakovsky, the man who created the shows that raised me when my parents didn't want to.

[@JayIMcgallion]

[@FlippytheMasterofPie]

Looking at the books in Genndy's office, I spy the super awesome manga Lupin III! Nice to see he's a man of impeccable taste.

For anybody else here that truly appreciates this man's work, I would recommend checking out Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal. It came out in 2019 and I just recently discovered it. Not sure if there will be more seasons, but it could potentially rival Samuria Jack.

[@moshiadnfusionfallfa]

Interesting to see Genndy's accent sounds as American as one can be, but his brother has a noticeable Russian accent.

CONFIRMED SAMURAI JACK RETURNING 2016 GET HYPE

[@Douglasman123]

+DrSpikeSpiegel it will be hard to find watch it without the voice of the great Mako as Aku. a good choice would be to get the guy who replace him on AVATAR, Or maybe a different approached like get Ken Watanabe, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa from 90s Mortal Kombat or the guy who played Shingne on The Wolverine.

well, they prolonged it for about 10 years. i say thats a pretty good deal

[@Dehslash9]

Faizal Ali How is that good?

[@Raidoven]

they had more time than they thought they would. and if this season does well, they might still have plenty of years to go. there are other 2D action cartoons right now doing pretty well.

[@Dehslash9]

Faizal Ali Yeah but rise are in the minority. There used to be a while lot more in 2010 - 2012. The only ones doing any good are the ones that sell merch - toys and dvds. In order for Jack to be a true success we need to buy the DVDs.

What's good news for fans? Hope. And the fact there is 50 years of gap between S4 and S5. They can make another season in few years. To back this up, look at the episode numbers, S4 finale is Ep 52 and S5 starts with Ep 92 (XCII) So keep asking for me coz we love Samurai Jack

[@solirablack5934]

I hope, they will not kill Aku in 2016's new series. That positive demonic guy is my favourite character (I never felt such attachment to the character; so, he's something more than just charismatic villain). P.S. And I hope that it will be still the same clever, cunning, mighty, funny, sarcastic and quirky Aku, whom everyone loved so much in childhood.

[@colleen4ever]

+Solira Black Uh...they kinda HAVE to kill him in the final episode. That's kinda the point of Jack's quest.

[@zendiumartwork2886]

+colleen they dont have to really it can end like how they left off with jack searching for a way to return OR they can end it with jack accepting that his new home is set in the future
