2012's Most OMG Moments In Geek #6: Marceline And Ice King Have A Past
SPONSORED POST | Posted 12/19/12 5:26 pm EST by Valerie Gallaher in Animation, Best Of, Cartoon Network, TV
There's the good, the great, and then there's the BEST. Welcome to MTV Geek's Best of 2012 -- what we thought were the cream of the crop this year in the world of GEEK!
As MTV Geek continues our look at the most OMG moments in pop-culture this year, we turn our attention to a "very special episode" of an insanely popular cartoon...
Imagine watching your favorite animated series as a child -- like, let's say, "Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers" -- and suddenly Gadget had this really heavy revelation about her past that seemed to come out of nowhere and was something you'd more readily find on a adult TV drama. And the storyline "worked," and "Rescue Rangers" fans all over started crying in front of the TV screen and making sad fan art to express their many feels. Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: Alice Gets A New Job In This 'Superjail!' Clip
Posted 11/9/12 1:00 pm EST by Charles Webb in Animation, Cartoon Network, TV
Alice, Superjail's sole guard and brawny terror isn't known for her domestic skills. In fact, if you asked her to cook up a meal, she'd probably serve you your own giblets. But in this week's episode, "Nightshift," Alice takes on a new job and discovers that she has a new talent.
Blu-ray and Soundtrack Review: Entering The Church Of The Black Klok 'Metalocalypse Season 4' and 'Dethalbum 3'
Posted 11/6/12 4:45 pm EST by Charles Webb in Animation, Cartoon Network, DVD and Blu-ray, Music, Reviews
Season four of the Adult Swim animated metal series is a departure from previous seasons mostly because it's clear that creator Brendon Small is reaching some kind of end game for the actual "Metalocalypse" that gives the show its title. The added continuity and feeling that one of the characters might--gasp--grow in the course of this season add to the sense of disorientation, even as the slightly shortened season remains as funny as ever.
Plus, with the release of The Dethalbum III, it looks like Small and the real-life members of the fake band behind Dethklok are moving beyond some of the same jokes and even style of the first two albums.
Change is afoot and the end is near. Doodly doo.

The product of his musical imagination blares from countless televisions at 9 a.m. on Saturday mornings as kids soak up the cartoon action against a soundtrack of his creation. Read More...
