See the trailer for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s animated series ‘The Governator’ right here.

Target audience:

Boys of 8 to probably 16 years old and hardcore fans.

Tone:

Family friendly. Schwarzenegger is shown as a true hero with great values, fighting for the good cause. It’s as if he retired from politics because he wanted to become a Batman/Terminator/Captain Planet type of Character. There’s no humor, it seems pretty blend.

Value:

Stan Lee is producing, really??

I had big hopes for this cartoon. I wished for something like Venture Bros meets Commando and Rambo: The Animated Series. But finally, it’s a boring family friendly cartoon less funny than Jackie Chan’s series, less old school action than Rambo but probably a bit better than Mr T’s.

It also has an anime style, but doesn’t achieve anything extraordinary (from what we’ve seen so far).

In other words…

BooooOOOOoooring!

What do you think?

The first time Arnold Schwarzenegger said he would be back, he became the governor of California. The second time, he became a motivational speaker. But as the french say, “jamais deux sans trois”, so Schwarzie is back again…on tv…in 2D!

Since we know that Stan Lee is the producer of the series, the end result could be quite simillar to Stripperella (Pamela Anderson), an edgy cartoon which makes fun of the public image of the celebrity.

We already know that Arnold will fight a criminal organization called the G.I.R.L.I.E Men and have a 13 year old nerd as a sidekick.

“To be or not to be? NOT TO BE!”

Personally, I hope that Governator will make fun of the action movie clichés (like Brock Sampson in the Venture Bros) and deliver plenty of cheesy one-liners, just like Last Action Hero. It could even end with a stupidly cheesy PSA like GI Joe and give dumb advices.

Cartoon Network, you better air this cartoon!
