His suit looks like paper mache. And no Warburton??

I'm not liking the suit, and it's weird to see someone other than Warburton in the role. I'm guessing this will work like previous Amazon pilot seasons? (Amazon will choose which shows to take to series based on viewer feedback on the pilots)

Warburton has moved on, he's 51 now...and he hated wearing the Tick suit...plus it was not a hit, only nine episodes back in 2001.

Warburton is making a great living as a in demand movie character actor. How much is Amazon paying that new actor?

Exactly...

You guys ever seen el Chapulin Colorado?



A bit similar to the Tick...except that el Chapulin Colorado was an outta shape, short, non-powered, red-wearing, inept, bumbling superhero, lol.

A highly successful Mexican show in the 70s...it was a ratings hit in all the Spanish speaking countries of the world...

^And I've see some fan art updating--or maybe I should say devolving?--the Crimson Grasshopper into an actual superhero, which is fun, too.

Here's a fan rendition of him (obviously over a Batman)...

I like it. Is the Tick a figment of Arthur's imagination (Tyler Durdin style)?
Is the terror really dead?
Is superian who he claims to be?

[Brue]

Don't forget to watch. I'm in episode 2 now.

[LonnieFisher]

I didn't think I was going to, but I liked it.

[cjefferys]

I'm going to have to watch the pilot again first, I completely forget it!
