The Golden Axe TV series on Paramount+

[GreyLord]

I played a bit of the Golden Axe series decades ago. I enjoyed the series.

Just saw this cartoon and I hated it thus far...at least the first episode. It's a travesty of the highest mockery. It feels more like someone who took an idea to mock the game rather than to actually respect the game. Maybe that's what the younger generation likes these days, but I hated the first episode. Looking for a reason to watch more, but was so turned off after the first episode that I can't see me finishing the series. It seems based off of the 2nd and 3rd games rather than the first one.

Ah, apparently they offer the first episode for free on youtube. Why did I even pay for Paramount+ if they are going to offer their stuff for free?

Warning, rated TV-14.

Anyways, you can see for yourselves.

yeah I found this and was excited to see a homage to a great game of the past too, then I watched the first episode - unfortunately a lot of modern 'adult' animation seems to be focussed on gutter humour and appealing to 13 yr olds. Its not as bad as some other offerings that I dont watch either

Lisa Gilroy is the GOAT, but this is a weird fit for her chaos monster talents.

God, I burned up so many quarters on that game.

Haha, that looks awesome. Not "sign up to paramount+" awesome but definitely gonna give those first couple episodes a watch.

I heard this was actually good? It had some of the Lower Decks folk working on it, and I ended up loving Lower Decks after I gave it a chance.

Sadly not.

Not over here, it seems - the video is region locked. I guess they're not so bothered about attracting international audiences to their internationally-available streaming service.

Pro Tip: If you unplug the machine and then plug it back in you get a free game!

Edit: Three weeks later and I realized this might have been Magic Sword. In my defense, these games were really similar!
