Don Martin?

Does anyone else notice a similarity in styles in this cartoon to Don Martin's? I am absolutely certain I saw at least one Martin comic with a character who looks extremely similar to Korgoth, though I can't recall what, specifially. Not to mention various other characters.

I believe the creators of Korgoth of Barbaria are parodying the style of Don Martin and others. The entire barbarian from the north concept in Korgoth of Barbaria, including its stylistic presentation, is seemingly leeched from a gigantic hodgepodge of other cartoons, comics and novels. -- Flask 09:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Series?

This entry makes it sound like "Korgoth" is actually a series. A pilot episode has been made and shown, but that doesn't mean that there will be a series.

According to various sources, Korgoth of Barbaria was only a pilot episode. As such, telling Adult Swim how much you enjoyed the show might prove critical to its success and continuation. -- Flask 10:01, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All series begin as a pilot. Of course the pilot doesn't guarantee a series, but it does express intent. -- 67.78.133.90 15:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It will become a series. Most (if not all) pilot episodes of Adult Swim programming have at least one season. -- dposse 19:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely NOT "all." Saddle Rash and Welcome to Eltingville are a couple of unsold Adult Swim pilots. There's been a few others if you look on the Adult Swim page. True, chances of a series are good but not guaranteed. --MrBlondNYC 08:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Similar to Thundarr how?

I really don't see the similarity, aside from being "barbarians". Kolgarth approaches a level of bloodthirst and penchant for violence that even Conan would have trouble matching, while Thundarr never takes a life (granted that in Thudarr's era it was frowned on for cartoon characters to kill each other.) ---Jackel 17:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As Thundarr was also inspired by Conan the Barbarian, there is little similarity between Korgoth and Thundarr other than that connection; hence, listing Thundarr as a parody source for Korgoth was perhaps inaccurate. Luckily, someone already removed the misleading Thundarr tidbit. -- Flask 18:31, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I did it myself actually. If someone can make a compelling case for the comparison, they can add it back.---Jackel 21:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. Okay. Nice work. -- Flask 01:43, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well Thundarr and Korgoth share the similarity of being set in a post-apoclyptic future. Things such as a juke box are seen in the world of Korgoth (As well as the Statue of Liberty in the intro), so it shares that element. Wolfman Walt 03:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Berserk

Don't know if it's worth mentioning in the main page, but I've noticed a LOT of similarity between Gatts/Guts from the Berserk_(manga)/Anime series, and Korgoth from the first episode. Especially with the extreme brutality of the first major scene of the show, where the main character unleashes a shocking ammount of violence in a midieval bar.

Quotes

Might be nice If we had more quotes...like "Even in death a wizard is not to be trusted" or "I despie all wielders of the dark arts. Speaking of which, can you pass the gravy?". Or the whole "rainbow"speech David88 18:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC).[reply]

More quotes?! Why don't we just get it over with and just post the entire script? -- GIR 06:58, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

-Changed quote "ABC. Not my flavour" - Korgoth to Specules, after defeating the bubble gum monster of Specules." TO: "ABC. Not my flavor" - Korgoth to Specules, after defeating the bubble gum monster of Specules." Reason being this is an American cartoon, not British/Canadian/etc

Update, please

Can someone who has watched the show please remove the future message if it doesn't apply anymore? Cromulent Kwyjibo 23:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New season starting on September 8th?

According to various internet reports and a small banner on the Adult Swim website, the first season of Korgoth of Barbaria will debut on September 8, 2006. Adult Swim might re-run the pilot episode on September 8th and then air the first "episode" (per se) on Sunday, September 10th. -- Flask
