He did parody himself in Last Action Hero, so he is capable of poking fun at himself in a film. Yes, I did watch that film, and I actually like it.

This could be a hilarious, tounge in cheek self parody, or possible, hopefully, a genuine attempt at the genre that reaches the level of spectacular, fascinating train wreck. Both of thsoe would be great. It could also be a cheap attempt to cash in on either of those 2 things. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Hey, if a show about ponies using the magical power of friendship can make it, so can this. It would be hypocritical of me not to give it a chance.

And that trailer is badass.

The cartoon sounds okay if Arnold voices it, And with Sran Lee on the comic book cant hurt (I would have prefered Mark miller), but I feel he is milking something that doesnt exsist yet.

I called this, in the former thread on April Fools day.

"Set out the news on April Fools day so people can chuckle and go 'wuuut!?'
Than, set out the release of the news being serious later on, and people won't be as shocked and revolted. It's great to break down, than sell."

Not those exact words, but I called this, just FYI everyone.

This one is not particularly certain if this is a good idea. This one knows its not a bad idea but will it get off the ground to the point where it can even be a game?

When one looks at it its basically Mike Haggar only he cant 'work' during the day.

YES! I was unhappy when I realized the story was up on April 1st, but now my hopes were answered!

Edit: Watched the clip. I'm so fucking down for this. It looks laughably bad in the best way.

Sorry Arnold but once you had become the governor you lose all the other fame you had as an actor. I mean come on! a couple of cameo and a film or two is not enough for ya?

EDIT- OK I will post something once I stop slamming my head at the nearest wall in my room from watching that trailer.

Ok barely I'm barely conscious so I will say this WTFH??? No you do not make a cartoon first expecting people will automatical like it!!! And what the hell with the kids sidekicks? That is so 80's cliche!!!!

Isn't he involved in the court case to censor games? Seems kinda silly for him to have a game under his own brand if he opposes violent "material". As for the idiot and greedy, this is a fucking dumb idea for a franchise. All the inside jokes about Arnold don't have much comedy staying power. Charlie Sheen tried to use all his jokes and sayings to start a comedy tour. He was met with instant failure and angry fans wanting refunds. As for the greedy, he is clearly doing this as a cash grab. People haven't wanted to see him in films and television for years. He is an aging out of shape action star, and he was never much of an actor. I'm aware he has a fan base, but if he really thinks he's able to launch multiple franchises he is a greedy fool.

Edit: Looks like I was correct about being pessimistic.

Is anyone else a bit concerned that Schwarzenegger is trying to cash in on the fact that he won a democratic election? I don't think that's what the people of California had in mind when they elected him to replace governor Gray Davis back in 2003.
I'm not, I think he just wants to be a comic book superhero, is that surprising?

Who knows? Could be amusing.

Well this is a subjective and biased post based your opinion and trying to reflect your own disagreements to the mass, hpw is capitalizing on something greedy? Its called business, you may want to take business in your local community college so you can understand why people make more money despite being rich you still have to have income so your business investments can maintain themselfs, it would seem you have a subjective pov in this post.

I'll be honest, if I had chosen to vote to put Arnold Schwarzenegger in a position of power then this is exactly what I would have had in mind

Since I never paid attention to what this man said when he was governor, (cause I live in Canada) I can't wait to see his stuff.
