Just a note!

[incognitoracer.livejournal.com]

Okay, so, I have a new puppet and before I introduce him I wanted to make something clear.

First of all-How many people've seen Speed Racer? Movie or TV series?

For that matter, how many of your puppets have seen Speed Racer?

While I live in the hope of us getting a Speed, I wanted to drop a line and say the following:

This is Racer X! Say Hi Racer X!

Racer X: *says nothing*
Ramen: He's like a superhero because he has a secret identity! Dontcha!
Racer X: ...>>; *says nothing* *looks embarassed*

Anyway, for those of you who don't know who Racer X is, I'm not going to spoil it for you. For those of you who Do know, please don't spoil it for anyone else. And if he seems incredibly...morose...That's just his way. Anyway. I just wanted to make a note because caonically Racer X seems like a jerk and nobody knows who he is or why he's there or what he's doing except that he's kicking ass and taking names. Two of the biggest inspirations to the anime designers were viva las vegas and goldfinger-huge movies in Japan at the time.

In essence?

This is Bond.
With identity issues who is almost constantly masked.

Don't let that discourage you however! He is friendly!...well...moderately. Be nice to him though and he might show you his race car. :D

I haven't seen the movie b ut am an old fanatic of the TV series. Is there a difference to the identity of Racer X?

None of my Pups, except maybe Ben here, will have seen the TV series. I don't think the movie is, or will be, in any of my canon.

[blackswanevent.livejournal.com]

....There's nothing different except...the how. If that makes any sense?

[ever_lovin]

In a strange and mysterious way yes.....

[blackswanevent.livejournal.com]

Trust me, if you loved the series (and I did go out and buy the series because that's what you DO when you want to get into a fandom unlike some of the girls at the movie theater squealing about Racer X and etc. etc.) You'll like the movie, but they did put a little twist on the whole origin story.

Btw. You get points of MASSIVE WIN for ben. A cookie made of AWESOME.

[ever_lovin]

Thanks. Racer X is full of awesome as well.

I will play it by ear but pretty much go with the assumption that Ben knows about the TV series but not too much about it. Safer than way. = ]

I don't know a thing about Speed Racer, so I think it's safe to say my pups either haven't, or will only have a very passing familiarity in the "oh yeah, I think I've heard of that" sense.

I've seen the original TV series, read the comics, etc. I'm very familiar with the Speed Racer verse.

She-Hulk has seen Speed Racer.

So has Hawkgirl, in all probability, given that people in the DC verse occasionally crackwise about Speed Racer.

[incognitoracer.livejournal.com]

this-should be fun. :D

[lightningsqueen.livejournal.com]

Holy crap. I used to watch the cartoon all the time. So I know who Racer X is. *pets him cause I always liked him*

[gorgonfondness]

I grew up with Speed Racer as my first anime, I'm renting a DVD of the first eleven episodes, and I saw the movie on opening night.

So yes, I know who Racer X is.

Mia and Farley won't know, as the former hardly watches television (in fact, she's hardly seen automobiles and that will be wow factor enough) and the latter doesn't care too much for...well, I won't repeat his exact words, but he believes the Japanese can keep their cartoons.

Homestar claims to know who Racer X is, but he's saying Racer X is actually some sort of talking pineapple, so his secret identity is most likely safe.

[aberrantangels]

*awards you an Internet for "he's saying Racer X is actually some sort of talking pineapple"*

[incognitoracer.livejournal.com]

I WANT THAT ON AN ICON.

[prix-etoile.livejournal.com]

does matthew fox just like...GRAVITATE to you? :P

[incognitoracer.livejournal.com]

Honestly?

....Initially?

....That was why I got into the character-but his icons (once I upload um) are about an even fifty fifty split between cartoon/movie.

because the cartoon ROX MY SOX.

Plus. y'know-MASKEDNESS.

[sdelmonte]

So if Matthew Fox plays him, will there be flashbacks?

[shecalledmefred.livejournal.com]

Or flashforwards?

[prix-etoile.livejournal.com]

will he also include the plotline of vantage point?!?!

and kiss one girl to prove to himself he loves the other?!

[incognitoracer.livejournal.com]

IRONICALLY THAT'S IN THE MOVIE.

NO SRSLY. IT'S IN THE MOVIE.

The man cannot escape Jack Shepard. poor bastard.
