For A Television?

[The Two Jerseys]

Sounds like something Adult Swim would do.

Sounds like something they should do.

They've done similar weird things with Harvey Birdman and Space Ghost, plus, they have total access to both Hanna-Barbera and DC characters.

I just hope the "mature" hero sounds like Nathan Explosion.

Regardless of sex/gender.

Also, they'll be super buff and have the broadest chins you can think of.

I have a feeling that The Venture Bros. already did half this stuff...

[Dylar]

I mean, if the DVDs were all seasons of the Clone Wars including the newest season coming out, then I'd pick option 1, but since it's GoT, I'll go for Option 2

why is GOT such bad rep now?

I never liked it to begin with. To me, the medieval fantasy genre isn't appealing because it's been done so many times. Sure I enjoy a good book like Eragon and Lord of the Rings, but when it comes to shows, not so much

[The Chuck]

Haggle for every jail break movie out there instead of G.O.T. and then accept.

[New Excalibus]

Can I request that game of thrones be switched out for Parks and Rec? Because if not I am denying the deal.

This.

[The Ferret Lands]

Please consider the following hypothetical:

Ever since the creation of the League of Righteousness, it has become near impossible for villains to accomplish anything.

To deal with this band of heroes, Mr. Antagonist puts together a coalition of villains to take them down. You have been recruited to join this gig.

You come up with a plan to lure and capture the leader of the superheroes, Captain Cowl. Mr. Antagonist highly doubted your plan would work but it did and Captain Cowl is captured. You then advise Antagonist that Cowl should be killed immediately.

"Don't you know? They ALWAYS escape later if they're not killed immediately." you tell him.

However, Mr. Antagonist refuses to let you kill him because he may "prove useful" (and also, this is a Saturday morning cartoon serial, you can't kill anyone, its not allowed).

While Mr. Antagonist plots to use a fake robot clone version of Captain Cowl to infiltrate the Mod Tower (the HQ of the League of Righteousness and bomb it to the ground... Captain Cowl manages to talk the buffoon-like henchmen into fighting with each other while you're outside. Using the chaos and the commotion, Captain Cowl manages to escape and alert his comrades.

A confused and extremely angry Mr. Antagonist watches as the heroes defuse the bomb and then move on to attack the villain hideout.

A massive battle ensues, however, everywhere left and right, all of the villains are getting defeated (no one is killed, this is a Saturday morning cartoon, no killing is allowed).

Mr. Antagonist hops into a giant mecha battle suit (which you designed) and temporarily holds off the heroes.

You come face to face with Captain Cowl. He tells you that you've already lost its only a matter of time.

You look around you and indeed, except for Mr. Antagonist who's still doing okay in his battle suit, everywhere else your allies are getting defeated. Its only a matter of time before the remaining heroes dogpile and defeat Mr. Antagonist. Unless Mr. Antagonist pulls off a miracle win (you figure the odds are low for that, though not impossible).

Captain Cowl offers you a deal:

He controls all the prisons in the city. If you use your remote control to de-activate the battle suit (thus instantly screwing over Mr. Antagonist), Cowl promises you that you will get half the prison sentence of the other villains AND.... ANNNNNND you get a massive special privileges large-screen HD television complete with a collector's DVD series with all Game of Thrones episodes (along with complete privileges to watch it 24/7).

You understand Captain Cowl to be a man of honour (its in his character to always honour deals in good faith).

There is definitely something to be gained for betraying your comrades at this point, seeing as their defeat is almost certain.

However, if you do this sort of stunt your Villain Credit will suffer for it. Once you gain a reputation as a sellout (for Game of Thrones DVDs no less) it's possible that you'll be left out of future World Domination Gigs. You might miss out on the final victory and you may have to give up on your dream of becoming Master of Australia...

So, what do you do?

Your Options:

1. "It's nothing personal, it's just good business." (hits the remote and instantly de-activate the robot suit and screw over Mr. Antagonist). Chill out in prison with only half the sentence while watching Thrones on HD TV.

2. No I greatly value my personal honour and future Villain World Domination Gig oppertunities. I will not betray Mr. Antagonist. Captain Cowl, you vs me... 1 vs 1 let's go. Let's finish this. (fight to near certain defeat, but fight nevertheless)

Please discuss and justify your choice.

I choose Option 1. At the end of the day, Mr. Antagonist ignored my advice at every turn. I feel no great loyalty to such an ally. Furthermore, Captain Cowl offers too good a deal.

I mean, if Mr. Antagonist (and maybe all the other villains) are dumb enough to let Captain Cowl escape and they all get defeated, your 'Villian Credit' with them is kinda useless, and their 'future World Domination Gigs' are pretty much guaranteed to fail. Easily take the offer.

[Rea]

Reject the offer and fight to certain defeat.

The League of Righteousness will have to face us again eventually since more episodes of this Saturday morning cartoon are called for. Therefore, my return is inevitable. With Mr. Antagonist's help, I'll escape from the revolving door that is Barkam Asylum and again menace the world with more colorful antics in the near future.

Indeed

It is possible to think of this as a multiple transactions scenario

i think for reasons of "security" it wouldn't be allowed

Not like GoT is any better. Lots of intrigue and backstabbing in that show.

Captain Cowl only offered game of thrones in part because he hoped that you would adopt the values of Honour, Valor, and Loyalty. After all, the finale does in its own way reaffirm the importance of using power benevolently.

Mate, what? You mean the show that spends half of the time showing children murder their parents for power and the other half showing people screw each other for power?

That's what game of thrones is about: Power. There is barely any honor and it's mostly intrigue, murder, and sex.

Pick a better show if you want me to learn "Honour" and "Valour"

Not to mention, the final was almost universally declared as shite

I know... Captain Cowl giving you the Game of Thrones and expecting you to learn honour and loyalty is like giving someone "A Beginner's Guide to Knitting" and expecting them to learn gourmet cookery from it.

[Infected Mushroom]

I mean, there was obviously a reason (good or not) that Captain Cowl offered a SPECIFIC SHOW rather than a show of your choosing

he's clearly hoping that the content of the show could help you find your way

whether it works or not depends

Yeah, no. He's pretty much dumb.

Unless he is lying and just trying to get people to watch his show for no reason other than he likes it.

So, he's hoping I'll go from being a Saturday morning cartoon villain to flaying people alive, murdering peasant children, sacrificing people, and murdering my relatives?

Because that's pretty common in the show, I believe.

[El-Amin Caliphate]

I mean, there was obviously a reason (good or not) that Captain Cowl offered a SPECIFIC SHOW rather than a show of your choosing

False. There's a bunch other things in life that offer more personal impact than a TV show.

he's clearly hoping that the content of the show could help you find your way

Again, he's kinda dumb.

whether it works or not depends

It al most never does.

[Ifreann]

I mean, there was obviously a reason (good or not) that Captain Cowl offered a SPECIFIC SHOW rather than a show of your choosing

It's because you're obsessed with that show.

It won't work, it's a terrible idea.

[Victorious Decepticons]

No. I am genre-savvy, as evidenced by my knowledge that Cowl should have been immediately deactivated, so I also know that either my sentence will be jokishly short or I'll escape. I also have just learned (by observing Mr. Antogonist's embarrassing defeat) that I should be the leader of the next World Domination Gig, and if I lose my cred, I won't be able to recruit any mooks to help me make it happen.

Also, he didn't offer me the G1 Transformers series, and I don't want to sit in some cell watching mere humans on the screen, even if fantasy elements are involved. I designed a badass mech - it's right there in the OP. Obviously, I am into robots.

Finally, I will have to work some wiles to get this show moved to Nick at Night so I can kill that bastard Cowl, and then make the remaining episodes all about how I take over the world and then keep my jack-booted government in power despite future Cowl-wannabes always trying to revolt.

I was hoping that he'd offer me gay porn to watch. It'd be a colossal hint.

Captain Cowl would consider such subject matter inappropriate for incarceration

[Infected Mushroom]

False. There's a bunch other things in life that offer more personal impact than a TV show.

That could be true but most of these things couldn’t be framed by Cowl as a benefit. They would come across as an imposition.

What do you suggest he offer that can be both transformative yet be framed as a benefit?
