[Entertainment] "The Legend of Protrethro" to be released later this year.

From Salarian Entertainment Monthly

Mannovai - One-Star Animation Studios has announced that their new animated cartoon series "The Legend of Protrethro" will be released on the airwaves later this year after two years in development. The cartoon, which is described as "loosely based on the adventures of salarian super-spy Aphin Protrethro," has already been picked up by Sur'Kesh Broadcasting, DDS, OpenFine Entertainment, and BOWWAKKA! Broadcasting Services.

"Aphin Protrethro is a name with a lot of marketing power behind it," Animation Director Mannovai Tholeto East Wyvv Sento Malochev Schrev said in a recent interview. "Sure, his actual history is somewhat controversial, but ever since DDS published his unauthorized biography and made it into a blockbuster film, every salarian's been looking at a way to bring his legend back home, if you will. We here at One-Star think that by making it a cartoon, we can play fast and loose with the more controversial aspects of the story and produce the story that we want people to know about, without any of the rough edges."

According to One-Star's extranet site, "The Legend of Protrethro" will follow super-agent Aphin "The Shark" Protrethro as he assembles a group of super-agents to take down a "fiendish shadowy force" known only as Q-Rok. The first season, which will consist of 13 half-hour episodes, is described by the site as a "classic salarian morality tale meets modern day action adventure," with "plenty of subterfuge and sneaking action scenes to delight both adults and hatchlings alike."

"It's going to be the hit of the summer," Sur'Kesh Torvaan Millochai Mannek Turvo Xerk, the lead editor of ComicsForEveryone.viv, told SEM. "While it may not be big on historical accuracy, it's big on salarian pride, which is something we need right now. Our society has always been a bit low on folk heroes. Aphin was a male who struck out and did his own thing, and supposedly saved civilization from something. We may not know the whole truth, but that means it's up to us to write his legend!"

Not everyone is so excited about this, however. Former STG operative Charnexia 7 Colony Alpha East Corridor Churnai Wonvan Kerxi spoke out against the cartoon publicly, generating a million hits in under an hour on his extranet site.

"We don't need heroes like this, and we don't need to be teaching hatchlings to go against the system that has supported this civilization for millions of generations," Kerxi said. "To create a hero out of some half-truths and hearsay isn't just foolish, it's stupid. The files on the incident don't even exist anymore, and Protrethro himself has disappeared from society. Salarians need to focus on what's accurate, what's real - not mere supposition. This cartoon flies in the face of all of that, and could damage countless forming minds in the process."

So... will any of us be in it?

Who?

Oh, come on.


Yes they do, I still have my fucking helmet-cam footage from the Pequod boarding action.

See, look, I can-

WHAT THE FUCK

FOOTAGE CORRUPTED?!

goddammit

Hahahaha.

Okay we need to keep silent and not mention this to Spiza, he could get an aneurysm if he hears this.

@Harrad, well you will be in it, because you are a great face for the Hierarchy and if DDS has anything to say about it so will be Abattoir, as played by Tethys Reave.

Hey Dwick. How much am I getting paid for you using my likeness?

Wasn't this the thing I seem to remember that got a bunch of Salarians lynched on the Citadel a few years back after that weird news report?

Because certainly I'm tasting a rather bit of irony in my Bek right now.

How much am I getting paid for you using MY likeness, then?

I demand money for this varrenshit.

I just realized that I might actually have to willingly watch a show on DDS now. If only to see how everyone I know gets shown.

It's how they get you, Harrad.

"I'm never watching this channel!"

"Oh shit, I'm on this channel unwillingly! I have to watch it now!"

Boom. Profit.

and also lawsuits.

I have no idea who this is.

But I assume if he posted here then he was a terrible person.

So who's getting the profit? Because it sounds like we might be in this case. And taking credits from Dwick is something I can probably get behind. <3

You guys are dumbasses.

We don't own the property. We're just optioning the rights to broadcast this show. WE'RE paying THEM the right to show the cartoon, since it's guaranteed to be a huge ratings booster AND advertising magnet. DDS isn't responsible for this any more than your left asscheek is - talk to One-Star, not us.

Dumbasses. Fucking know-nothing dumbasses.

I demand DDS commentary on the cartoon. I'll gladly pay for that, at least. See if you can talk to One-Star about some OSDs released with Dwick-and-Butterball commentary deals.

How about I talk to One-Star about you sucking my nuts, you useless flabby-thighed fatass!

them's fightin' words, butterball
