CANNIBAL CORPSE vs. Dethklok: The Metalocalypse Showdown[views:17337][posts:18]______________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 1:48pm - the_reverend ""] Maybe Dethklok is the new buzz in metalland, but in spite of the hype, the guest appearances and the pr, they are no Cannibal Corpse. "September 5, 2006 - In response to our passionate readers' pleas, we here at IGN TV are trying to give a voice to the unappreciated metal band known as Dethklok. We have seen your emails and we understand your love for death metal... and let me say that I understand where you are coming from. So in an act to give the most violent band alive the justice it deserves, we have created the 'Metalocalypse Showdown'! This daily contest will pit the most ruthless hard metal gods against each other in an attempt to see how Dethklok stacks up against the best heavy metal bands of all time." Check out the showdown at Metalocalypse Showdown, Metalocalypse Website http://www.cannibalcorpse.net |

| ________________________________________ [Sep 15,2006 10:38am - litacore nli ""] it's just a cartoon! chill out people |
| _______________________________ [Sep 15,2006 10:39am - Yeti ""] DETHKLOK ARE SELLOUTS!!!! |

| __________________________________ [Sep 15,2006 12:17pm - Anthony ""] pfft Metalocalypse is great, fuck the haters. This IGN showdown thing is retarded. |
| ______________________________________________ [Sep 15,2006 12:51pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] It's not always that funny, at least not opposed to other Adult Swim shows, but a few of the episodes are certainly funnier than others. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 15,2006 12:56pm - Yeti ""] i dont think its supposed to be non stop hilarity, i like it because its clever. |
| ______________________________________________ [Sep 15,2006 12:57pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I have never really taken it for clever. Not by a longshot. |

This show looked great as a concept, but I think it's really just abusing it's premise. There's 2 ways to look at this show: 1. They know they've hooked the demographic of metal kids, poser metal kids, and kids who think it's ironic to like metal bands. All together it seems like a pretty flimsy show: weak characters, cheap jokes, and a LOT of wasted time. But because of it's premise and it's doing just enough to keep people from changing the channel it will be profitable for a while. 2. It's a show with a good concept, and worthwhile plot premises but it's still working out the bugs. You be the judge. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 15,2006 1:30pm - Yeti ""] if they can keep the topics fresh and interesting it will get better. but i can see them running out of ideas fast and it becoming stale. kind of like Aqua Teen. |

You be the judge. i want to say #2, but i'm not sure this show will ever reach its potential. i like watching it, but not nearly as much as other cartoons. adult swim has had much funnier shows than this. |

There has to be a reason that people don't change the channel. I know it's not the jokes, because jokes are supposed to be funny. |
