THEY WERE OUT FOR BLOOD, AND ROTTEN TO THE CORE. NOW THEY'RE BACK...
Deranged professor Gangrene once again comes up with a plan to conquer the world with the help of mutated killer tomatoes. Now it comes down to pizza courier Chad Finletter to stop Gangrene and save tomato girl Tara, his love interest.
I just don't understand what caused the toxic avenger and this to get Saturday morning cartoons. Trying to capture TMNT's lightning in a bottle I guess.
Yes. This.
Being born in the 80's means you got pop culture the wrong way around because all the good shit already happened. From the point of view of a 1985 baby, Star Wars has always been there in exactly the same way as Sherlock Holmes: Long enough for people to make children's media loosely based on it.
So, there's a bunch of us who, when you mention Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, they see a Saturday morning cartoon with talking tomatoes rather than the Sharknado of the 1970's.
The theme song from the cartoon is what started playing in my head when I saw the post lol
Because gen x and millennials watched these movies with their dads.
Every wacky live action thing got turned into a kids cartoon back then. Ghostbusters movie, Ed Grimley SNL sketch, and a ton more i can't remember now
