LONG AGO, ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE I, PORKU, THE SHAPESHIFTING MASTER OF MARKETS UNLEASHED AN UNSPEAKABLE ETHOS BUT A FOOLISH HEGELIAN CRITIC WIELDING A MATERIALIST DIALECTIC CHIMED IN TO RESIST ME
BEFORE THE FINAL TOMES WERE PUBLISHED I TORE OPEN A PORTAL IN TIME AND FLUNG HIM INTO THE FUTURE WHERE MY RETURNS ARE LAW NOW THE FOOL SEEKS TO LEARN FROM THE PAST AND UNDO THE STATE OF THINGS THAT IS PORKU
I was posting the monologue here to gauge the response, but I'd like to do a little animation of it when I get the time.

and take your time with the animation if you want

Fugg DDD: This reminds me I should try to use Facebook again. I'll try to post it tomorrow, I'm up too late to try to dig up my login or make a new account (5:20 am here). Also I realized my source for Aku is animated so I won't forgive myself if I don't make a version with moving eyebrows.
That'll be a separate thing. The OC already has enough life of its own and I may not be able to finish animating while it's still relevant.

This is great
Levi Nelson
Will the animation show Marx horrified at the future, looking in shock at both liberal idpolers and right-wing idpolers?
And here's the gif since the three videos plus this was over filesize limit.

As long as capitalism is around, I am unsure. Doing this as a one-off from the getgo so he can get away with taking risks and care about making it art pretty much BTFOs the whole profit motive thing, since that would imply continued production until people get sick of it, and it's run into the ground.
The only thing that could ruin this for me is if it praises feudalism in some way, but even then it's still baller.
Luis Morgan
I think so far they're doing a good job building up without shooting their load early. XCIII specifically had some pacing issues, but it took the series over some pretty major lines, having Jack contemplate suicide and kill a human. So far it looks like they're going to give the series the end it deserves. Hopefully CN doesn't ruin it by doing episodes LI-XCI as prequels.
If Adult Swim gives him creative control and he does more shows with them (which he wants), then maybe.
Noah Martinez
He trained with the Merry Men or their equivalents, who were allied with feudal Japan somehow. Class struggle probably gets sidelined when you live in a world under siege by an embodiment of evil.
Sebastian Foster
Okay Bat'ko, new idea for Leftypol Choir…
… the Samurai Marx theme song.
With your intro as Porku, of course. I hope we can get someone to animate the visuals of the opening. Anyone with me?
Grayson Turner
I was already going to do something like that. See I've been busy today but will probably have time to work on it tomorrow and mock up a quick storyboard. Since the opening monologue is paired with a series of stills and the song is the animated part, I could pretty quickly edit the thing to fit anybody's reading as well.
Missed this one somehow. The answer is yes. I'm thinking shot-for-shot parody, with your bit replacing these guys.
I liked the first post the best, sure it doesn't sound like Aku, but it works.

probably the mic quality. To be fair aku's voice is hard to replicate especially without having an asian accent like his voice actor. rest in peace Mako Iwamatsu
Luis Green
Bat'ko has a good quality mic. The timbre of his voice probably also relates to damage to his throat that ultimately killed him. It's a very hard voice to imitate, to the point that Genndy Tartakovsky considered completely redesigning Aku for season 5
Don't click if you don't want to be sad.
James Sullivan
I'll do like some sort of Acapella remix to it.
Aiden Martinez
Like I can beatbox pretty gud tbh
Chase Bell
I was saying that bat'ko has a good mic compared to the other anons who contributed.
fuck
Eli Bennett
But the show is contrary to your beliefs….

Thanks, comr8.
Holla Forums > bunkerchan But you're alright, Space, and I'm a libertarian market socialism via worker cooperatives kind of guy myself.
Noah Moore
In what way, that the protagonist is the son of an emperor? That he wants to change the past? That there are supernatural elements? The show takes place in a world similar to but fundamentally different from our own. Ideas like "spook" and "reactionary" don't really apply to settings where evil physically exists and time travel is possible.
Bat'ko suggested something to that effect, and someone suggested this: I would suggest changing "spectre of marx" to "Hegelian Marx" though. I'm sitting down to storyboard the whole intro right now since I have some free time.
Angel Robinson
Godspeed.
Grayson Fisher
So, where would the new season of Samurai Jack fit into the context of Holla Forumsing the story?
Samuel Rodriguez
That works. Then he'll get out of his rut by forcing himself to adapt to late-stage capitalism, creating a new theory of post-left Marxian dialectical materialism with situationist and Zizekian elements.
James Murphy
Fifty years have passed… But… my theory does not age… Time… has lost its effect on me… Yet… the suffering continues…
Porku's grasp chokes the past… present… and future… Hope… is lost… First as tragedy, then as farce… Hegelian Marx…
Barely changed anything tbh.
Noah Hughes
breddy gud But Marx "died" (i.e., was flung through a time portal) in 1883. So it would be 134 years, not 50.
Nolan Allen
I know. It didn't seem to flow as well. A hundred thirty years have passed maybe. There's something about a nice round number though. 150 years might hit the right "distopian future" vibes for 2033.
Henry Long
You could say "over a century" instead, perhaps.
Robert Thomas
Well, fifty years have passed from the perspective of when he was thrown in the portal. Remember, Samurai Jack came from feudal Japan–who knows how far he really is in the future compared to his original time.
Parker Roberts
Fair enough.
Adrian Mitchell
According to the second episode it's "thousands of years" later. IIRC there's no precise timeline. If Marx was flung into the future and 50 years passed since then until now, that would put his arrival at 1967.
Chase Lee
Wouldn't it be 2067? When Marx first arrives in the future, he has to deal with contemporary (2017) idpol and Porku's global forces.
Asher Brooks
You could take it that way too, but it's more depressing to imagine that capitalism will continue until 2067 than it is optimistic to imagine it starts to collapse in 2017. Lasting until 2067 does seem more appropriate for season 5 of Samurai Jack though.
And the Daughters of Porku could be extremely vicious Holla Forumslacks and/or ancaps, whichever fits best.
And the Daughter that Marx ends up inadvertently killing represents shedding the blood of the internally innocent, those who could have potentially been shown the light of leftism instead of dying in fruitless sectarian in-fighting.
Carter Diaz
somebody should make a game of kultural marx in the 21st century trying to collect lost pages of volume 4 of capital vs porkies
it could be a cute platformer
Logan Ross
Karltural Marx is Samurai Marx's version of Mad Jack.
