SPOILER: According to the comics, here’s where The Club members are at ten years later.... Jerry Stokes is a professional M:tG player and is dating an attractive cosplayer/gaming news reporter. Josh Levy is writing for a comics news website and is unsuccessfully trying to be a screenwriter and comics artist. Pete DiNunzio is working for a sleazy horror porn company as a cameraman, using his job to get sex with scream queen wannabes. Bill Dickey is still living at home, still a virgin and had a failed business as a fandom collection consultant. He’s somehow became even a bigger asshole than shown here.

@DianaGohan4 жыл бұрын
You do have to keep in mind this came out in March 2002 back when Adult Swim first started and they really weren't at the point of being able to actually able to greenlit fully traditional animated cartoons. Most of their originals were in house stuff made on the cheap like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Brak Show and Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Yeah next year in 2003 Venture Brothers would release it's pilot which would get a green lit to series but even the pilot was done in Flash and the first season of the show had pretty limited animation at points much more so then most of what we even see here. Same with even The Boondocks and that had a much bigger sort of push due to it's creator then Evan Dorkin really had so yeah it's just lingered as a special that sadly never made it to a show. Not to mention that when this came out it was one of those series that was kind of ahead of it's time. Honestly geek and dork stuff in the early 2000's is not nearly as mainstream as it is now where quite honestly these sort of cults and series have much more taken over the world. Hell this is one of the few shows that openly acknolwedged Doctor Who was a thing BEFORE the 2005 Revival era where it was actually something the common person in America might of heard of besides just dorks. Since yeah now it'd make way more sense to have this kind of show especially to mock how toxic geek culture is but was much more of a niche that really couldn't of worked more in the time it came out.

"The Big Bang Theory" is the Hollywood version of what nerds are like, thus making them seem like friendly outcasts who are still cute to the opposite sex. Thus, girls love the show because they can laugh and "awww" at the lovable characters, while male nerds love the show because they enjoy the references and can fantasize that people see them as similar to the characters in real life. "Eltingville" is closer to what real nerds are actually like, and thus, unappealing to female audiences and too painful to watch for male nerds for whom it hits too close to home. In the Hollywood version, a cute girl like Penny would conceivably hang around a group of nerds. In reality, and in "Eltingville", not a chance. Therefore, it may have been difficult for the show to find an audience.

For those that need a reminder Green Kryptonite is standard Kryptonite its toxic to all Kryptonians. Red Kryptonite is non toxic compared to Green Kryptonite however it turns any Kryptonian standing right next to it into a dangerously violent psychopath. Its arguably worse then Green Kryptonite because any Kryptonian triggered by Red Kryptonite has no control of their bodies. Gold Kryptonite is 100x MORE TOXIC then standard and more commonly available Green Kryptonite because it not only weakens Superman it makes it harder and longer for his powers to come back its the Kryptonite equivalent to finding space Cancer. There is also Pink Kryptonite which is like a Gag Kryptonite which changes the gender of any Kryptonian standing right next to it. That one's just fun. I think Blue Kryptonite triggers despair or something

A series in which the likability of a character varies inversely with said character's screen-time. How is this not on Nick?

How many of these did I know??? 1) I knew Wedge's last name, as do almost all SW dorks 2) Did not know the Westworld one. I still haven't seen the original movie 3) I didn't know for sure that Kirby created the Silver Surfer, but he would have been my first guess 4) How did I know the Land of the Lost question? Jesus. 5) Knew three kinds of Kryptonite 6-7) I didn't even know there was a Star Wars Christmas album 8) I watched a lot of Popeye and I never knew Olive Oyl had a brother 9) I don't know shit about Digimon 10) All TF fans know Bumblebee. He's one of the icons 11) Tripids??? The fuck are those?? 12) Didn't know who played Commander Elliot 13) Don't know Gallactica 80's time slot 14) I remember The Impossibles and I remember what they look like and what their powers were, but their names escaped me 15) Pssst, who doesn't know the Ents 16) I have almost no working knowledge of who won Oscars 17) Don't know any Vulcan terms beyond Pom Far (and I'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong) 18) Love Jason and The Argonauts. One of my childhood favorites...but I couldn't have told you who scored the damn thing, lol 19) I could tell you most actors who played villain on the Adam West Batman...but not False Face 20) Don't know the spaceship from Forbidden Planet 21) No clue who designed Space Ghost 22) Have no idea when Soylent Green took place 23-24) Don't know what movies got paired with what in double features (couldn't make out the next couple of questions due to "The Shadow Knows" dialogue) 25-26) Outside of familiarity with the character, I have no idea about the creative process behind Felix the Cat 27) I've seen This Island Earth (both the movie and the MST3K version) but can't remember specific details like what the creature's names were 28) Never heard of Far Out Space Nuts 29) Never seen Starblazers 30) Couldn't recall specific comic covers and issues to save my life 31) Seen that episode of Trek more than once, but I don't recall specific star dates 32) I knew one: Donald Pleasence 33) Never saw The Prisoner 34) I watched Thunderbirds once, and don't remember specific details outside of the fact that they were puppets 35) Never watched Electrawoman and Dynagirl 36) Watched the original Ultraman recently, do not remember the specific names of monsters. 37) I knew Penguin's full name 38) Didn't know that director 39) Don't even know what they're referencing there 40) Didn't know the weapon from Krull 41) Had no idea how many brains a Cylon had...but did he say "Psylocke Commander"? May have phrased that one wrong 42) Never watched Blacula, Always wanted to though, lol 43) Love Dawn of the Dead, could never have told you where it was filmed 44) I knew that one. I am up to task on Jason Voorhee's evolution 45) I knew who Thundarr's pals were. Watched that show a lot as a kid 46) Never heard of Dr. Butcher MD 47) I had no idea what they were even referencing with that one, but I would have said King Ghidorah. So out of 47 questions (that I could make out), I knew the correct answers to 8 and 1/3rd....I actually feel relieved that I'm not that big of a nerd, haha.

I like to see The Eltingville Club revamped and uncensored on Netflix as a full series. Too bad this is only a pilot episode on Adult Swim. Imagine what the rest of the series would have been like if the rest of the comic series adapted into animation format.
@samflood5631 Жыл бұрын
I wish Adult Swim could have made this series after the pilot. It’s appealing to geeks like me. Sure it’s based off of the comics which lasted until 2014 and doesn’t have a lot of stories which could span a lot of volumes. But maybe they could make some episodes that expand on certain parts of geek culture as well as the town and the boys favorite shows, games, comics and movies.
