<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Mystery Science Theater 3000</em> (or MST3K for short) has had many a home throughout the years. From its early days on KTMA-TV in Minnesota to its brief run on Netflix, the show has entertained with its hilarious riffs on some of the worst movies ever made for over 35 years (not all of which it was on the air for, but fans kept circulating the tapes).</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignleft size-full is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="500" height="357" src="https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-641" style="aspect-ratio:1.4005602240896358;width:312px;height:auto" srcset="https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1.png 500w, https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1-300x214.png 300w, https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1-160x114.png 160w, https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1-150x107.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Mystery Science Theater 3000 </em>hosts Crow T. Robot, Joel Robinson, and Tom Servo. Photo via <a href="https://mst3k.com/about-the-show/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mst3k.com</a>.</figcaption></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After its run on Netflix ended, the team behind MST3K took to crowdfunding to launch season 13 on a new online home, the <a href="https://www.gizmoplex.com/browse" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gizmoplex</a> (with episodes later streaming on <a href="https://pluto.tv/en/search/details/channels/545943f1c9f133a519bbac92/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pluto.tv</a>). The Kickstarter campaign was a success, and the Gizmoplex was born.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, Joel Robinson and the rest of the MST3K team are ready for season 14, and have launched a new crowdfunding campaign for it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new campaign, hosted on Showmaker, has set ambitious goals, with the show unlocking with six episodes (along with six shorts and 18 digitally enhanced classic episodes) at $4.8 million, before capping out with a new season of 12 episodes and shorts at $7.4 million. This is very similar to its season 13 campaign, which successfully funded a complete season.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="697" src="https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1024x697.png" alt="" class="wp-image-640" srcset="https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1024x697.png 1024w, https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-300x204.png 300w, https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-768x523.png 768w, https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-160x109.png 160w, https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-150x102.png 150w, https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-696x474.png 696w, https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1068x727.png 1068w, https://g33khq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image.png 1170w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While many campaigns on Kickstarter have backer tiers with different reward levels and later add-ons, the Showmaker campaign is doing things a little differently by allowing backers to pay for the rewards they want immediately. This allows them to mix and match their choices of digital and physical rewards (including shirts, magnets, and enamel pins), as well as more expensive experiences such as in-person set visits, puppeteering classes, and even producer credits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The staff has also promised that they stand in solidarity with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA Strike, and filming will not begin until the strike has been resolved.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The campaign has just launched, but has as of this time raised nearly $500,000, putting it on track to reach its goal before the annual MST3K Turkey Day Marathon. You can <a href="https://showmaker.mst3k.com/makeseason14" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">find and back the campaign on Showmaker</a>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Netflix&#8217;s success at live action anime adaptations has been hit or miss, but the company continues to try, with new adaptations on their way. Recently, the company gave fans their first look at the live action versions of the &#8220;Avatar: The Last Airbender&#8221; characters, as well as the trailer for the &#8220;One Piece&#8221; adaptation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Avatar: The Last Airbender</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Avatar: The Last Airbender&#8221; is a cartoon that aired on Nickelodeon from 2005-2008, along with its sequel, &#8220;The Legend of Korra&#8221; coming out in 2012. A new &#8220;Avatar&#8221; series, featuring the Earthbending successor to Korra, has been announced, but little else is know about it at this time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first attempt to bring &#8220;Avatar&#8221; to life was M. Night Shyamalan&#8217;s &#8220;The Last Airbender,&#8221; was not well-received, with a 5% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 30% audience score. It was criticized for its pacing, effects, whitewashing of characters, and the material it cut or completely skipped over in an attempt to fit an entire season of a TV show into a two-hour movie.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Netflix promises to have learned from this mistake, making the live-action adaptation a full series instead of a movie and working together with its co-creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. However, the two did <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2020/08/12/avatar-the-last-airbender-creators-walk-away-from-netflixs-live-action-adaptation/?sh=5640d8d1333d">step away from the project</a>, leaving fans unsure of how it will go.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fans have received their first look at the characters via a post on Netflix&#8217;s Twitter account, showing them Aang (Gordon Cormier), Katara (Kiawentiio Tarbell), Sokka (Ian Ousley), and Zuko (Dallas James Liu).</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Netflix adaptation of &#8220;Avatar: The Last Airbender&#8221; will release in 2024. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One Piece</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;One Piece&#8221; is one of the most popular anime and manga series in the world (if not the most), with the ongoing manga having recently exceeded 1,000 chapters. Netflix has been working together with creator Eiichiro Oda to bring the series to life, and released a trailer giving us a first look at the series:</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The trailer gives us a look at several characters, including protagonist Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and crewmates Zoro (or Zolo, depending on the translation) played by Mackenryu, Usopp (Jacob Gibson), Nami (Emily Rudd), and Sanji (Taz Skylar), as well as a quick look at several antagonists.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The &#8220;One Piece&#8221; adaptation will release on August 31, 2023.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you looking forward to either of these shows, or are you worried about Netflix&#8217;s track record with adaptations? What do you think of these first looks? Let us know in the comments and keep an eye out for more news from G33k-HQ.</p>
