Thunderbirds...Ugh.

[NeutralLoser]

When it comes down to it...I really think that all these movies based on sitcoms/old shows are the worst thing to happen since the invention of schools with metal detectors. I was sitting down on my couch, lazy fucker that I am, and I saw the Thunderbirds commercial.

I was instantly upset...I felt like puking. Thunderbirds, as many of you may or may not know, was actually a series made entirely with PUPPETS. That's right, friends. Puppets.

Now, I know many of you will whine that the puppets, compared to the special effects of the new Thunderbirds, would actually pale in such a fight. I say bullshit. What they've done is made Thunderbirds into a coming of age story about a teenager. Abso-fucking-lutely ridiculous. Alan Tracy was a college student in the series, and even the pilot of some sleek, phallic vehicle.

So, I'm naturally pissed off about this. How can you even think of replacing puppets, so capable and kind...With inept and line-forgetting human beings?

At least the puppets don't have outtakes!!
