ACF Reboot Coming!

After some thought,I've decided to terminate Retro Talk,due to time issues. My current schedule and living conditions prevent me from managing 4 Blogs. I had such big plans for it and it's regretful that I have to shut it down.

However,this leads to the main topic of tbis post. In January 2019,The American Cartoon Federation is gonna be Rebooted and the Retro Talk posts will be moved here as part of the rebranding.

Trust me when I say,You'll love what this blog will become.

Stay Gold,Space Cowboys.

Fall of a Legend! - RIP Stan Lee

It isn't easy for me to say it but it has to be, especially for being a fan of comic books. Stan Lee, the man responsible for the majority of the entire Marvel Comics Universe, has died. He was 95 years old. Born Stanley Martin Lieber, with the exception of Captain America and Namor the Sub-Mariner, he was responsible for the creation of our favorite characters in the Marvel Universe, such as Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The X-Men, She-Hulk, The Avengers and so much more. He was the face of Marvel for many years. So much so, he even appeared in cameos in many Marvel movies (his first one was in The Trial of the Incredible Hulk as a juror in a courtroom dream sequence). In the later years, he left Marvel and form his own company, POW Entertainment and created original characters, such as the Mighty 7 and Stripperella.

What he has created will last forever, especially Spider-Man, who learned a very important lesson, like I have, like many people have, that "With Great Power, there must also come, Great Responsibility". A responsibility we must live by, not just as being animation crusaders, but for life.

And what makes this more heartbreaking? Long ago, I wrote a fan letter to him, praising him and sent him my custom made comic book cover for Spider-Man's 50th Anniversary...

Unfortunately, I didn't get a response from him. Either he was too busy to reply or someone withheld his reply letters. Guess we never know now, huh? That mystery is for another story.

In short, Stan Lee has left behind a rich legacy of superheroes that will last forever. Thanks for the memories. At least you are back together with Joe Simon, Jack Kirby and especially your wife, Joan.

Be at peace, True Believer.

EXCELSIOR!!

There are a lot of "To Be Determined" on this line-up,that's because I have no idea what the future holds for Hasbro in terms of TV Shows and only listed shows that Hasbro already has.

A Fresh Hope?! The Dreaded CTA To Be Fixed!

While researching more info on the dreaded "Children's Television Act",I came across some very interesting articles. Apparently,We at ACF weren't the ONLY ones who disliked the CTA. Take a look at these articles.

These articles may not be much,but they at least give us some hope.
