This is my first time on this forum, but ive been reading threads fr about a month. I noticed no one has opinions on the MIB series. I liked the series. It makes me mad its gone. what do u guys think about the series & it being canned?
Personally, I enjoyed some of the later seasons episodes alot more due to the better animation. I do hope that the show is brought back after MIB2 is released. Hopefully, we'll be able to see MIB: The series on CN soon!

You apparently missed some threads; MIB is an honored member of the KWB toon fraternity. Not too long ago, a couple of experts on the subject made their presence known; their names are Avran & Delia. And I thot I knew something about the series. Next to them, tho, well, let's just say that I'm J & they're K & L.

It's a great series and I'm really hoping that CN will put it into reruns. The later seasons were good, season 2 beinbg the best. Season 4, while good, I thought was too bright and mediocre at best.

Oh, yeah. MIB on CN. Was there such speculation 4 years ago re. Earthworm Jim? I hope it doesn't disappear like EwJ, but until I see it...
...and I'm the optimist among us. I'm glad I taped all the eps, well, almost all of them.
...and I look like L too!
Hi Printo! ^_^ I'm always glad to meet another fan of MiB. I really enjoyed the series, and am disappointed to find out that there will be no more episodes. But I am happy that it was successful as it was - cartoon adapations of movies generally don't do very well, and MiB lasted for four seasons!
It looks like MiB won't be shown on Kids' WB next season, so I would like to see it picked up by another station. It would be cool to see it on Cartoon Network (which I don't get :() and Teletoon (a Canadian station).
I'll just see if anyone here hasn't been to our pages, lol.
I've noticed a lot of switcheroo going on in the first X episode.... if you watch X's hands and mask, wait till they get to the garage.
X has alien face... but human shaped hands that are green. His hands then go to human flesh colored and i think back to green again before settling. Of course he started out with alien and green hands when he made the remark about fingerprints on crystal....
hehe
i know too much

As I recall, his hands are normally larger than a human's, green, and have two huge fingers and a thumb. So he has to wear human skin-like gloves in the field--which must be painful, humiliating, and make it impossible to hold things or do delicate work with his fingers. Not to mention how much that mask must pinch his ears....
Delia97: ...and I look like L too!
Lucky girl! [wolf whistle] I resemble Wolverine from X-Men myself. The character L is the spitting image of the actress from the movie, except she's inexplicably gone blonde (the movie L was a brunette).
They've got to get the show on at a better time. In some areas it's on at six a.m., in others, it airs around one in the afternoon or so, during my online time. So I haven't actually watched the show since the two-part finale weeks ago....now that's just sad. :(
Actually, if you look at the picture of X on the official site's profile for him, he has three fingers (not two) and a thumb. Either way, those gloves must hurt.
However, I don't think his ears would hurt too much. It looks like the hair style was designed to cover them, so maybe it's not too unpleasant?

I agree with you on MiB needing to be on at a better time, though. I'm lucky that WPIX and KTLA, the stations that I watch MiB on, air them in the afternoon. 2 pm and 5:30 pm aren't too bad as times for them, since I usually work midnight shift, and can watch them when I get up in the afternoon. Perhaps you could program your VCR so that you can tape MiB? I wish my VCR was working properly, or I'd have a ton of episodes by now. Luckily, I found someone who sent me most of first season and a few from second season.

--it begs the question of how he moves the other one or two digits. Though I've seen a six-foot alien stuff himself into a rat suit on the show as well, so....eh.
Avran:
...I don't think his ears would hurt too much. It looks like the hair style was designed to cover them, so maybe it's not too unpleasant?
The way he grouses constantly, one must wonder. If he folded his lobes flat against his skull, maybe they wouldn't pinch too much, although if his race sweats I'd worry about chafing under that hot mask. Note his favorite insult for humans is "little ears", so obviously he doesn't think much of Earth people.
I figured the Alien Rights Comission head deserved a good swift kick in whatever aliens have for butts for saddling MIB with a guy like X...though I was pleased to note he took a more heroic role in "Engame Syndrome". Plus he complimented Madame President Generic on her hairstyle, which shows his mother taught him manners. :)
IMO, the fourth season of MIB was a shade under the first three. There was a lot of emphasis on the worms, for better or worse, and I got the feeling the writers were getting sloppy and thinking, "How can we make J look like a horse's butt this week?" If it wasn't Zeeltor being a thorn in his side with some invention that blew up on him, zapped him, or dyed his hair a funny color, it was some rookie blunder, like eating that sauce in "Hots for J Syndrome". (Though honestly, I'd have made the same error, with my love for spicy food--in my review I blamed the caterer for not labeling the bowl.)
As for WPIX (NY) and KTLA (CA), I get them too, though I frequently forget they moved MIB to a new slot, nixed some things, and moved others. With the finale having aired and the show in reruns, they lost the plum Saturday slot to Zeta. :rolleyes:
lol i knew the day would come when we'd seriously try to figure out how X or any aliens fit into the disguises they had.... lol
Delia: I'm guessing that they made Elle blonde since her voice actor, Jennifer Lien, was also blonde. If you've I've noticed that some other cartoons do the same thing, making the character resemble the voice actor to a certain extent.
Also, if you've ever seen a picture of Charles Napier, Zed's voice actor, you'll notice quite a resemblance! That has to be the only reason why Zed's appearance changed so drastically in the transition from movie to cartoon.
Dr. Belch: You have to admit, X has it much better than that rat alien, since he only has a mask and gloves - I just sat there scratching my head wondering how the heck he shrunk himself down to fit into that rat suit.
I agree that Season 4 wasn't the greatest. I do like the Worms, but they shouldn't have based so many episodes around them. Actually, my favourite episodes from Season 4 were the ones involving X, particular faves being "The Musical Chairs Syndrome" and "The Bad Boys, Bad Boys Syndrome" (gotta love a Cops parody!).
BTW, I just had to change my avatar. I know how much Delia despises X. She hates anything to do with him, and esp. anyone who suggests that he & Elle would make a cute couple!

I thought this series was some of the best of the Kids WB line up in it's grand ol' days. I am sorry to see it gone. I am hoping they put out the episodes on DVD, of course. They already put out a VHS collection, so hopefully that isn't an unrealistic hop
mannnn I hate X
and I did notice the characters look alikes to an extent. It took me a while. Most looked okay, it was just the blonde hair that suprised me.
"Geez, kid... ya look like a FREAK. Whats with the 4 gallons of hairspray?"
thats what i can hear people think.... lol

DR. BELCH
08-11-2001, 10:36 PM
--to finally find some MIB fans, esp. with the show mothballed. I like to search out inaccuracies in the eps, and even in a good show like this, they can be seen by a perceptive eye. Like: in one episode K mentions sub-zero weather kills worms, yet in another the four coffee-guzzlers are frozen with no ill effects.
I've also wondered how the MIB would go about neuralizing a blind witness, or someone with only one good eye...or, noticing how often Frank eats things he oughtn't to, why K doesn't think to carry around a small bottle of ipecac along with all his fancy alien gear? :cool:
Little things I ponder from time to time.... :D
well, neuralyzers emit the light energy that goes in through the eyes and reguardless (did I even spell THAT right?) of wether they're blind or not, alters their memory patterns. lol
and 1 eyed people can witness alien activity as well as anyone. lol Blind people can hear it too. LOL
i dunno about the worm thing. It's like star wars. Hoth will kill even tauntauns and nearly gets luke, but Han manages to survive the carbon freezing. Im guessing the icers (or whatever caused it... i have never had WB so i dont know what goes on) froze kinda like the carbon freezing would.... it would be suspended animation.
im guessing it's so fast that there's no time for damage.
Calhoun07
08-12-2001, 10:03 PM
Isn't that basically the same thing as doctors freezing sick people for hope they can eventually revive them and cure what's wrong with them? Yet people die of hypothermia. I guess it's not that you're frozen, it's HOW you are frozen that matters if you can be made to live again or not.
anything works for sci fi.
Could they invent a process to freezedry and then rehydrate humans?
hmmm...
lol

Well, at least no one put their names together in the "Cute animated couples" thread at the A & GT board...though I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere some joker's posted X and L hentai (dirty anime-style cartoons) online. Not surprised a bit....
boy you sure haven't been to the yahoo group... some there post that kinda stuff! eww!
oh yeah... and I hate X! lol

I think what Delia might be talking about is the stories that Chanda, one of the list members on my MiB mailing list, posts. Delia's not a big fan of romance between the characters, and that's what Chanda has written in a few of her stories.
If I'm guessing correctly, the particular story that has Delia going is part 16 of Chanda's "The California, Here We Come Syndrome" story, which picks up after the Endgame Syndrome episode. The agents move out to California while the NY headquarters are being rebuilt, and most of them end up having to live in tents on the beach. This chapter deals with an accident in a co-ed shower. :p
If you'd like to take a look at any of the stories, you can dig through the archives of the mailing list (they're accessible to the public):

As much as it's fun to bug Delia with an avatar of X, I thought this was so much cooler. ^_^ It's an image of Agent Jay from Lowell Cunningham's comics. And I promise I won't be changing avatars for a little while.
LOL
and you can read mine (it's also my user namesake!) on my web page (address below) which has links to my posted stuff.
Ehhh man... you guys say "MORE ROMANCE!" and I can't bring myself to writing it. Im such a humorist for these stories and I cant dar edge towards the racy romances that are posted LOL

i haven't heard anything new from Corona Productions lately and if they don't got it... no ones got it, so all must be quiet on the western front

I think MIB card games would be neat. Have alien face off and MIB/ALiens battles - it's be pretty cool!
and somewhere right now Zed sits at his desk and monitors this chat...
"Soo..... trading and game cards will work to make more money.... hmm? Thank the stars we don't have to replace CDs so soon..."
Added an awesome animation cell style painting someone did for me to the "MIB Art" page in the web page.
Also id like to say... THANK CAPIZZI'S COMET (im trying to spell stuff right, LOL a lotta bandaids on my hands) that we dont reside over to www.countingdown.com (for an unknown reason consitdering this is the cartoon and thats the MIB sequel) because some chock-full-o-themselves teenie boppers are dissin MIB (and of course... the *COOLEST and trendiest thing out there* according to them is "Princess Diaries") Yeah.... RIGHT <cough lame cough>.
LOL
I face the scum of the universe EVERY DAY when I brave out onto the World Wide Web and defent the name of MIB!
ALso.... if anyone watches stuff made by the ppl who make MIB the Animated Series.... I've found that we DO manage to get 'the big guy and rusty'. Why couldnt fox have gotten MIB!?
What a horrid world I live in... in this Non WB zone....
Hey.... heres a question... does Agent X have a quick clone? (FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD.... WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE AGENT X'S!!)
I was just not sure... consitdering we dont get WB here, lol. Ive seen 2 whole X episodes. 1 was enough for me to hate him and im finding it increasingly harder to write fiction with him when ive seen him do so little... of course.... I can always be evil.
Delia asks:
Hey.... heres a question... does Agent X have a quick clone? (FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD.... WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE AGENT X'S!!)
No, there was never an episode where he had a quick clone made of him, thank goddess. ^_^ We all know that one of X is more than enough for Elle to have to put up with!
"of course we need a clone of Agent X! Now I have TWO to use as target practice!"
You know, a quick clone for X wouldn't be too bad of an idea! That way, he can avoid having to put up with her hissy fits whenever she's in a really bad mood. :D
and elle can take out anger with some weapons targeting.
"One of theses X's is not like the other... One of these X's is just not the same... "

Usually only human agents get quick-clones...I thought, in fact, only human DNA could be cloned this way, until J sent worm q.c.'s off into space in the ep the little javachuggers were deported for allegedly draining the water from the cooling tanks in the MIB nuclear reactor. I wonder if Zed's ever censured L for using them for personal use in the lab when she wants to sleep in?
I've noted this before, but with only 26 letters in the Earth alphabet, doesn't that limit the number of agents that can be active at a given time? Unless they use the Spanish alphabet (29 letters), cuneiform (over 600), or some alien system we don't know about. Also, if an agent dies or leaves MIB, is his letter retired as well or given to a future rookie?
Odd to note they don't dub "Pinky" in Spanish. In my latest FanFic, the mice travel to Mexico, and Brain addresses his friend at one point as Rosadito ("little pink").
The Princess Diaries is really just Pretty Woman meets My Fair Lady, from what I've seen in previews.
on the subject of agent names, I've found what theyve done in Dean Wesley Smith's books to be cute.
The two members of cleanup we come to know very well are Captain and Pro.
They have agent initial names, but are just known as and called Captain and pro.
Before life as a MIB, Pro was a Pro Golfer. The name Pro works.
Captain likes being called that because he's a trekkie. It works, and Ive found it to be halarious! I love those 2 characters because they are known to inhale burgers and fries from Burger King like it was the end of the world!
Im sure they go and name the agents offically by their initial and they have a MIB identification number (theres another word for it but my mind misplaced it) and im guessing of 2 agents of the same name are around they just call em something.

08-19-2001, 05:31 PM
So far, I've noticed Agents A (Alpha), B, C, E, H(theoretical), J, K, L, P, Q, T, U, X, & Zed (British-Canadian, no doubt). What of the rest of the alphabet? Anyone I've missed? I don't think there's been an Agent N yet, which would be the handle I'd want if I ever had an odd fantasy about joining.

Are you thinking of the Carte Noire, from the MiB website? Those have an idenfication number on them, as well as the agent's letter. I noticed that you have one on your page.
If I use my real name, Jennifer, then I end up as an "Agent J" - I think I'll take the nickname route, like Captain and Pro.

Well, in the episode where Jay goes undercover to protect an alien ambassador, we meet a female agent named V in the wardrobe department, but we only see her for a coule of seconds and don't get to know her that well.
damn! should have told me!
now i've been writing about Agent Vee and his evilness for some time now.
well... this makes for interesting write on that topic we had about agents of multiple names, lol....
of course, Agent Vee vee the one I made, was Neuralyzed (atleast thats what THEY THOUGHT) so im not sure if that counts.
it's not like i can't change the character name... I only used it 4,398 times so far.... lol
and I do know about the number on the card... but somewhere else.... AAHHH! IT JUST STRUCK ME!
okay, somewhere.... I do believe it is the MIB agent handbook (never leave home without one.... espically if you are Agent U) lists should all hell break lose and you're captured or something by aliens, the government or psychopathic Trekkies...
to give only your name, rank... AND SERIAL NUMBER!
I FINALLY REMEMBERED! lol Man, now... to work on the next pointless thing that slipped my mind.
What was the nerd's name in that ghostbusters movie.... he was turned into a dog (and then a dog statue at the end)
the square... he was played by Rick Moranis.... (dont yell at me... i cant spell at 9:00 am!)
WHAT WAS HIS NAME!? aahhh! it's driving me mad! i cant remember!
....okay.... clinically the handbook does not exist but I wanted to make note that they do not list capture by trekkies... BUT THEY SHOULD LIST IT!
I mean... what can be more horrible than being captured by trekkies! there has to be a scenario plan for this...

THAT'S what we need! A MIB/Star Trek crossover! I'd watch it!
Or maybe a X-Files/MIB crossover! Hee hee.....crossover chaos!
Admit it! It'd be interesting to see!
Last time i saw a MIB X files crossover was on MTV's celeb deathmatch, and it was highly INCORRECT.
Agent Jay's weapon fired backwards? I doubt it. Quite a lame show anyway.
C'mon! Do you think Al Gore would Beat Weird Al? Apparentally on MTV they root for loser political figures instead of muscisians.
of course, in the X files... when ever you hear about the MIB it's always the government-ish evil Urban Legend MIBs and not the ones we know. I find these more entertaining than ones that just go around killing people, threatening them or generally acting like robots. lol

Delia97:
My name is a pathetic name and im not happy...I feel pain for all the girls who have names like this. Aron.
Oh, that's a lovely name! It's a feminization of "Aaron", which is a Biblical name...and also Elvis' middle name (my brother's too, but my dad always said the one had nothing to do with the other, though his mom was a big fan of The King).
What was the nerd's name in that ghostbusters movie?
The nerd played by Rick Moranis was Louis (or Lewis, I'm not sure of the spelling). He became Janine Melnitz's new love interest and later turned up in the animated Saturday morning series. Must watch that one again; I'm blanking on the ending.
I wouldn't worry on the V thing. I figure for each letter there are two agents--male and female (though note that there are very few women field agents). So a lady V in wardrobe and a male V in the field would make sense. So now we can have 52 agents, twice as many as I originally calculated.
It seems to me J would be a pretty common letter at MIB, with any number of Jameses, Johns, Josephs, Jills, and Janes out there. My real name also begins with J, so I suppose I'd have to use the first letter of my middle name--thus, Agent M.
There was an agent mentioned in "Hots for J" that presumably died after eating at a Geeda'ang buffet, but his letter escapes me. K's response to J leads me to believe his letter never was reissued.
Agent Jay's weapon fired backwards? I doubt it.
Maybe not one he was familiar with--but in one ep he did nearly blow his own head off with some forbidden piece of tech he'd turned around the wrong way. Seems to me the manufacturers would've though to label it better.
Though I did like seeing Scully and Mulder share a smooch at the end of their Deathmatch....
heres a boggler.
If they have Pokemon animated movies... WHY CAN'T WE HAVE A MIB ANIMATED MOVIE??
lol
Nftnat
08-20-2001, 05:54 PM
Well, first that ep J had it firing the wrong way was the Take No Prisoners Syndrome. Second, MIB doesn't have a big nutwork going ga-ga over it. And I'll get back to y'all on the letter of that dead agent, tho I'm sure it was in the Hots For Jay Syndrome.
BourgeoisBuffoon writes:

If you want to talk about crossover chaos ... read ChandaK562's story, The Clow Card Syndrome - a crossover of MiB with CardCaptors! ^_^ It's actually a pretty good story, but is certainly an unusual idea to cross mahou shoujo (magical girl) anime with a sci-fi cartoon.
The idea came when some of us were discussing CardCaptors on the MiB list (I don't remember how that came up), and I pointed out how Madison's (er, Tomoyo's) female bodyguards looked like MiB agents.
If you'd like to read the story, you could either find it on FanFiction.net when it comes back online, or read it through my mailing list's page (the archives are public):

This is what I had thought, myself. This way, they wouldn't use up all of the letters of the alphabet so quickly. You don't see very many female field agents, but you do see them around MiB HQ, so I imagine they have roles within HQ.
My real name also begins with J, so I suppose I'd have to use the first letter of my middle name--thus, Agent M.
If I were to go this route, with my first name, I'd end up being Agent J, and with my middle name, I'd end up being Agent L. But I think I like the nickname idea, like Captain and Pro from the MiB novel.

The agent who Kay said had died after eating at a Jee'Dangian buffet was Agent Q. The interesting thing is, in one of the first season episodes, Q was one of the first five MiB agents (the other four being Kay, T, D, & H). Kay never says if the Agent Q who dies is the same as the Q who died after eating at this buffet.

I see a discontinuity here. 'Cause K asked J if he'd ever heard of Q, while in The Head Trip Syndrome (hereafter I'll refer to these eps without "The" or "Syndrome"), he was quite familiar with all the involved agents, including Q.
and im totally left out of knowing what the heck you all are talking about because i dont have WB LOL

08-21-2001, 01:52 PM
Well, here's a puzzler. why weren't the first five named A, B, C, D, & E? A or Alpha was the original boss, & D was one of the first five, but the others? Well, B was K's original partner, C got sea-cabin fever in Atlantis, & E was agent to those who come from around other stars in Star System. So why weren't those letters used first, instead of H, K, Q, & T? Was it originally up to the individual agent what letter he or she chose? Or maybe it is all about the first (or middle) name.
maybe they just used the first letters of their names LOL
maybe they didn't think the luduicrous odds of the first agents having alphabetical ordered names was too much.
If they were all a b c d e it would look stupid lol. "Gee whiz... they were creative for this one"

Oh, I definitely agree here! ^_^ For the most part, the show's writers were consistent with the continuity between episodes, but there have been a few slip ups here and there.

I think it was based on the first name. According to the Retribution comic (the one that followed the comic book adaptation of the movie), Kay's real name was Kevin Cunningham. And in the MiB trading cards based on the movie, D's real name was David Kleinman.
That leaves H, Q, and T unaccounted for. Perhaps they chose to use the first letter of their first name, or they just chose which letter they wanted to be.
Here's a little discontunuity thing (again!) for you, Nftnat: there appear to be two different stories of the origins of the MiB. In the Head Trip episode, there is no mention of Alpha being involved with the agents who were present to make first contact with the Baltians (this was the event that started the MiB). If I am not mistaken, in the movie, we see a picture depicting this meeting.
Then we have the Alpha story, which suggests that he started the Men in Black. But there is no mention of H, K, D, or Q, or of the "first contact" with the Baltians.
My assumption is that the meeting between the agents and the Baltians took place first, and then at some point shortly after, Alpha joined the agents, and organized them into the MiB that we know today.
lol MANNN!
We are analyzing the cartoon now.... lol it's crazy
we're addicts
for anyone who keeps up with "the Good Old memories" fiction, I posted Chapter 10 on my web page today

{clears throat} ---- Dramatics 101 put to use.
NOOOOO!!!!!!!
It's NEVER OVER! [shakes fist at sky.... towards nothing in particular except maybe a few evil satellites owned by Adelphia Cable System and WB]
IT WILL BE BACK!
Those bozos at TV Guide said it would never last half a season! THEY WERE WRONG!
They said it was pathetic! THEY WERE WRONG!
As long as the future is unwritten and Barry Sonnenfeld pushes the name MIB past the max... THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THE DAY when THE BEST DAMN CARTOON I HAVE EVER NOT BEEN ABLE TO WATCH ON THIS LAME CABLE PROVIDER----comes BACK!
WITH CAPIZZI'S COMET AS MY WITNESS! IT WILL BE BACK!!!!!

I loved this series to death,but never got to see a single episode past season 2!!! I was always asleep! I didnt even know who agent X was until just this second visiting the site :(
I was on the IGN message boards earlier today, and someone had posted that October's Wizard (a magazine?) had published their list of top 100 animated shows. Men in Black: The Series was on the list at #73!
The full list can be seen here (I'm not sure if Wizard has an official site):
http://boards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=10130481
I totally had a feeling the Simpsons is Number 1. They TRULY ARE the best out there... though MIB should have been up closer. I never did like Josie and the Pussycats... and Im amazed MIB beat Sailor moon. It's one of those shows thats like "it's popular... must mean it's best, right?"
Jem... AWESOME! I grew up watching that show and man... you can never really forget em.
Im happy to see a seperate list for anime. Anime and, as I now call it (after seeing a signature on here), western cartoons are totally seperate and should always be consitdered seperate. Im okay with Anime, but when it's in my face and bothersome... I get defensive of our animation.
I don't know about batman as #2... is this the batman animated series from a few years back? (5 or 6---i have horrid memory as to chronological dates) and If it's the one i remember--- with harley Quinn and Poison Ivy and all those characters... it sounds about right.
I liked it... and watched it, and frankly don't know why it's not still on. Maybe... in the future, cartoons will be saved....
Im sitting and waiting for the day where they realize "HEY, MIB Was damn popular.... what the heck were we thinking when we pulled it?"
MIB always survives.... and will always remain popular. Of course... the sequel may break that statement.
Okay.... i have a really cute pic i drew of the agents as kids... is there any way to post it here?

Friday, August 31st, 7:31 am EST. MIB is officially gone :( The Musical Chairs Syndrome marks the end of the series, for good. Its last hope is the MIB:2, it is possible the series could be revived. We'll see.
[switches over to bright chirpy voice]
OKKKAAYYY! SUPER! Back to business...
I've posted that cute picture on the "Upcoing stories page"
see it here:
http://members.tripod.com/delia97/id108.htm
AND For those who would like to catch some 'new episodes' as I call em, until MIB comes back to us... you can check out my fan fictions (why they got me going on writing these at the yahoo board, I'll never know! hehe!) and anything you haven't read at FanFiction.net... and I've got links to each story (yes ff.net is currently working) and you can see the fiction page at:
http://members.tripod.com/delia97/id36.htm
and I'm currently working on my fiction data pages that highlight and give general info on the characters I've created, and how they came to be about. Enjoy those on my page and hopefully the stories will tide you over till MIB comes back to us.
I'm slow at writing, but until MIB comes back to us, it will be what we have. Also check out Chanda's stories (on my Fanfiction author page I believe I have her listed as one of my fav authors so you can EASILY access her work by clicking the name. Also, check out some of the fictions I found to be halarious!)
Ennnjooyyyyy!

Delia, do you do concept art for MIB or know some1 that does? MIB concept art could look sweet.:cool:
Well I've done some conceptual art of what the twins could look like in human disguises and the agents as kids for an upcoming fiction.... Sometimes a sight is so funny there has to be a picture abd i was thinking about it, and the agents as kids sounded funny
I guess i could draw more....

You draw your own?:) Can you show me some of your art?

this has the combined art of the Twins as humans and the agents as kids AND a nifty dramatic preview for the upcoming story... and boy do I like puns.
oh yeah... and this is the one with the Del character (namesake of online user name hehe)
oh and X is as an alien

Those are good but i was thinking about pics of say, agent firing a noisy cricket at an alien, more action type pics that go deep into detail.
I can't really draw what i imagine. I haven't crossed over into being able to illustrate the action I can picture in my mind...but that Is what I am going to college for....

Is there a site where i can read the comics online? if so can u give me the link. OR if no site is like that can u tell me where i could buy the comic, not just the recent one but the whole series.
LOL the whole series? Good luck. Those would be worth a pretty penny...
We find it hard nowadays to even get the newer post film release comics. I own a graphic novel with the first 3 MIB comics by cunningham and theyre not even the originals.
I'm not sure how many MIB comics are out there... but you'd have a HECK of a time getting them all in one place.
good luck.
try maybe an online auction
hey ive settled into college and I got the net!
Delia, I think that you can display pictures on the forum, as long as they are uploaded to your site or somewhere else on the web. You need to use the IMG button in the VB code section when you are posting, and then just add the URL of the picture. Is this the picture you wanted to show us?

Printo, I think Delia was telling me that Mile High Comics carries a couple of the MiB comics. You could try them and see if they have any in stock.

I apologize for not posting replies to the thread any sooner, but I started a new job mid-August, and that has been keeping me pretty busy. Signed up for a temp agency, and got a job doing data entry. It's not too bad; the people I work for are nice.
Delia was teasing me about being a temp with that line Elle gave Zed about getting a temp (when she was trying to do one of the Twins' jobs) - which episode was that?
"UGH BUT THE COMPUTER KEEPS CRASHING!!"
"The line, Elle??"
"Do I LOOK like the twins?? GET A TEMP!!"
im not sure where its from... someone sent a sound bite to me cause My pc never worked lol

--that was "The Worm Guy-Guy Syndrome", in which a couple of alien bounty hunters start nabbing alien citizens over petty offenses. They grab the twins, and leave MIB short-handed. L is befuddled by the computer, and the temps, called The Triplets, have their thumbs up whatever passes for a butt on an alien. Also, J gets crossed with one of the coffee worms when they pass through each other in one of the hunters' boom tubes. One of the stranger episodes.
Odd thought I had while watching the Midnight Run on Cartoon Network--if J and K can fight Mulder and Scully on Celebrity Deathmatch, why not bring in other agents? I was thinking it'd be fun to see X vs. Asia Klann-Klann (Outlaw Star). For the first time ever, Geeda'ang takes on Kata'arl-Kata'arl in the squared circle. http://www.ukobservers.net/cwm/otn/laughing/icon_smile_lachuh.gif My money's on the cat-girl.
me in my little self containing fish bowl.....
I mean, come on - a cat-girl would mop the floor with X's butt! ^^; I say a match between your cat-girl (Kata'arl-Kata'arl) and Elle would be a more even fight. Besides, it would be appealing to all those fanboys out there! :D
go ahead and give chand ideas wont you! GEEZ!
Im trying NOT to get her to kill Elle or maim in any way and you're confounding the problem! don't let her see this message board!! lol
OKAYYYY get this...
Im walking around portland and I see the Newspapers headlines:
WPXT DROPS FOX FOR WB
know what this means? We lose FOX, get WB AND ALL IN TIME FOR ME NOT TO HAVE MIB!
4 years of fighting for this damn channel and THIS happens.
ALSO---what is up with the 5 episodes of POKEMON ON SATURDAY!!?? I'll come out and say it. I HATE that show, and they play too much of it and take away FROM DECENT SHOWS. They need to get OVER the overkill of pokemon and actually THINK about their programming.
Im gonna have this channel so I can slam it ALL I WANT NOW!
I really DON'T WANT Wb now. No Mib... AND TO BOOT--- WE LOSE THE SIMPSONS AND FUTURAMA! Not fair!
it's a damned CONSPIRACY!
OH YES and now i'll get to see the jackie Chan adventures on my newly acquired Cartoon Network. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT!?
All I ask for is MIB.
NY has taken a sharp blow and an uncountable loss in our beloved city...
We should quietly reflect the destructuion to the most memorable skyline in the world... and the toll paid on the worst day in American History

As in 9/11. As I've said before, terrorists have a deeply sick sense of humor and love symbolism.
I suppose, to paraphrase K's assertion in "The Neuralizer Syndrome", the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings are now the tallest buildings in Mahhattan. I have to wonder what other major cities Bin Laden considered--Chicago? L.A.? Houston? I shudder to think if, with more money and planes, how many metropolises would have suffered.
Alpha himself would be proud. :mad:
Hehe im gonna try to go as Elle for halloween!
It's gonna be hard finding a suit though... ive always had trouble (thus why ive never been elle for halloween)
hey.... i'd like to see someone make a cool X costume as a challenge--- How would they do the head (not that I like X... it would be one heck of a mask challenge!!)
Nftnat

How hard can it be to make a human MIB costume? White shirt, everything else in black, get a pair of shades, you're there.
I was talking about an ALIEN Agent X mask...
Now that would be SOMETHING! I wonder how youd make the yellow eyes for the alien mask and the ears would be interesting...
now i doubt youd be able to recreate the voice of the character agent x for the costume's effect... he he he.
If you were talking about the Elle costume... its still hard. There are no suits jackets or anything remotely related to that up here for less than a small fortune. I have a hard time finding anything up here and it's always hard to locate a component for any costume... theres someone up here doing a costume for sailor moon and only now has she been able to locate some green boots for the costume (it's some other sailor character) and shes got to get them through ebay and from some ways away... so far me and ebay dont work with clothing purchases....
It's really hard to locate anything like that for a costume. A suit... well, i may have to try the salvation army or a thrift store... hopefully I CAN locate something...
HEY what are you guys gonna do for halloween if you all still celebrate the sheer fun of making costumes and getting buzzed on candy... hehe.

My town won't allow anyone over 13 to go out in a costume-which sucks, I WANT CANDY! :(
So I sit on my porch and give out candy. Have to admit it's sweet to see all the little kids running up to my door...and I still can nibble on the stuff I have to give out. :)
lol we dont go out hunting for candy...
i think half the fun is the challenge of making a costume... last year I was Scully and for 2 hours and 0 resources, a blonde scully looked pretty damn good
Out of these 2 weapons... whats your pick?
Series 4 De-atomizers or Reverberating Carbonizers
hehe
Okay, its official... were gettin wb.
hopefully mib will come back...
OH YEAH.... soon to be released: MIB the animated series 3 for game Boy Advance hehe
What Did i tell you all?
It's NEVER OVER!
MIB will be back!
FALL 2002
-Hey it took me forever to find this thread and it too is back!
MIB 3 FOR GAME BOY ADVANCE IS OUT!
I saw it today and the graphics are excellent! I also love the new color scheme for the box (a very cool green!) check out the graphic on the home page of my web page at:
http://www.members.tripod.com/delia97
now if only i owned GBA.... hehe
do people still read this thread? LOL
I got some new episodes in the mail and I saw something freaky! In the 'COPS' show parody episode 'Bad Boys Syndrome' the agents have to go to the top of the twin Towers to trade Kay for the hostage Agent X.
A lot of funny stuff happens but after it all, Jay made a remark about it being code named "9-11" which was really freaky.
The show came out long before the september incident and i thought it was REALLY WEIRD that "9-11" would be said on the episode centered around the twin towers. I dont think they'll ever show that episode again in repeats even if they ever did air the past season repeats!

11-28-2001, 03:52 PM
Or prehaps they'll just re-work the ending.
I'd bet anything you want, we'll never hear that 9-11 line again.
the latter half of the episode is touchy... Zed talks about the 'terrorist', and a lotta stuff in NYC gets the crap kicked out of it
I got a message through my trellix mailer and it sounds like it's real. Apparentally the assosiate producer of MIB the series has found my page, hehe
