Street Sharks is both JAWSOME and CONCEPTUALLY TERRIFYING

  • STREET SHARKS is a jawsome animated series from the 90s that came into being because of the popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. (And a desire for Mattel to sell toys.) But you know what? It holds up. In fact, I think the time is NOW for Mattel to ride their Barbie movie high right into a live-action reboot of Street Sharks.
    So let’s talk about the Street Shark, recap the first three episodes, thirst over Dr. Robert Bolton, and imagine what a Street Sharks movie could look like.
    This video took a longer-than-usual time to make because I included a lot of things - and because my full-time job is taking up waaaaaay more of my life than it should - hence the extended delay in posting.
    Yes, neon yellow is not a flattering color on me. And it made the overall color balance weird sometimes. But that’s how COMMITTED I was to this outfit concept. (And it was too hot to wear a shark costume.)
    By the way, I know there was a Hot Wheels cartoon in the 60s/70s that had characters - I vaguely referenced it near the beginning of the video. But no one remembers those characters. People think of Hot Wheels and they think of toy cars. So I think it’s a weird franchise for a movie.
    Upcoming Videos:
    -We don’t need the next live-action Disney Princess reboot. The perfect version already exists!
    -Stargate: A surprising intersection of fanfic and canon.

      Honestly what woman wouldn't fall for a Chad bearded professor who had four strong sons to raise on his own while pursuing his career in genetics?...
      He's too good to be true- and that's what makes him so damn awesome.
      Also this was the first time I ever heard of the term "DILF".
      And that means something.
      I remember once I watched a Mother of three in complete control of her little kids have a non-tantrum lunch at Costco a decade ago and she was a hyper sweet mother.
      I was so mesmerized and in awe that when I and my wife and I got in the Car with our one baby she punched the hell out of me demanding why I was so enticed by that mother's presence....
      So I get it. Lol.

    I tried street sharks again four years ago, after my static shock rewatch 10/10 still, and I ended up more upset with young me than I'd did with master of disguise. It doesn't even hold up then.

    I still have my Street Shark action figure from when I was a kid. Never saw the show, but a toy shark monster who wears a leather jacket, cowboy boots, and is shooting pool? Nothing could be cooler.
    Well... nothing except a skateboarding dog wearing sunglasses could be cooler.

    Can somebody get Christina a glass of water? Damn. Just kidding. Show me a person who says they've never had a crush on a cartoon character and I will show you a liar. I have dated professors tho. They tend to be very charming but they also get bored easily. At any rate, I was hoping you'd mention the "gene slamming." It's so 90s. The 90s! Please rescue me from the 90s! Also, it's interesting that whenever animals mutate into their humanoid variations they instantly have the ability to speak perfect English. Even Tokka and Rahzar in TMNT 2 could say a few words somehow. The TMNT themselves took a while I guess but I still wonder how they learned English

    • @PugMugsly
      @PugMugsly  Před 8 měsíci

      “Gene slamming” is such a specifically perfect phrase. Genetic mutation? Lame. Too close to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But gene slamming? Exciting. Semi-violent. Amazing.

    Hilarious review. Here’s hoping your view count is as high as the color saturation level of your outfit.
    P.S. I thought you were going to say a “Street Sharks and Stargate crossover.” It’s like I don’t know anything about you.😢

    I'm glad you made the Michael Bolton joke, because I can't hear you say the name, 'Bolton' so much and _NOT_ think of him, lol. Luckily it'll keep the _♪half shark/half man/fighting evil/that's the plan!_ lyric from infesting my brain, because thinking of Michael Bolton instead just puts _♪I can go the distance_ into my head automatically. 😄
    Kudos on your "Official 90s Kid Uniform"™ btw. VERY authentic. I assume you're wearing cut off jeans and high tops off-camera to complete the look
    Also, I gotta say, I'm VERY disappointed in CZcams's CG artists. I can't find so much as a single live action Street Sharks fan film _concept_ trailer. TMNT? Boy howdy; lots of impressive stuff there (for example: czcams.com/video/qcIeqpUhamk/video.html ). Street Sharks? Nada. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
    Finally, I feel like we're just a few vids away from you starting to live stream fan fic readings to your subs, lol. You mention them a lot and read them with so much enthusiasm - seems like it could be your calling if/when you decide to dabble in livestreams! 😄

    • @PugMugsly
      @PugMugsly  Před 8 měsíci +1

      I would love it if Michael Bolton did a slowed down, ballad version of the Street Sharks theme song. That's the dream.
      There is definitely some "this is what a CGI Street Sharks movie would look like" fan art, but it is surprising that there wouldn't be fan-made concept trailers. I think a lot of people REMEMBER Street Sharks, but it hasn't maintained a position in the cultural zeitgeist. Which is a shame. Because it's so perfectly 90s, that even if you didn't watch it as a kid (which I didn't), you can still appreciate it's nostalgia factor as an adult. (Come on, Mattel! Get on a live-action movie reboot!)
