00:00What have been those early reactions on Kite Man and as to why people are so invested?
00:06Yeah, I don't know as much.
00:07I think one of the early reactions I've seen is people going like,
00:11is this the same show or a different show?
00:14Where does the one end to the other begin?
00:16And oh my god, they've done it.
00:18Yeah, it's a family, not a family program for families, but it is a family and community
00:25of characters.
00:27Like-minded.
00:28Like-minded individuals.
00:29Behind the animation, it's a family.
00:31So you got Kite Man, hell yeah.
00:34And then you've got a multitude of other morons like us.
00:40Sure, yeah.
00:42Tertiary characters.
00:44What a word.
00:45Beautiful.
00:46Tertiary.
00:47I give tertiary fucks about that.
00:52But I think that, no, honestly, I think it's very cool that you have an animated series
00:57that actually scratches the itch of this irreverent naughtiness and all these characters
01:03that we actually really do love and have grown with over the seasons kind of get more and
01:09more robust and more full in story.
01:11Yes, they do.
01:12We see Kite Man and Golden Glider in the main focus.
01:19And Bane and all the shenanigans at Noonan's and stuff.
01:23Oh, he's back to Bane.
01:25I think, too, what's nice about it is because we get to- they're bad people.
01:32So it feels- the naughtiness doesn't feel-
01:34We say villains, but it's okay.
01:36Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:37I can't say villain.
01:38That's fine.
01:39But- oh, I just said it for the first time.
01:40I've only seen it read.
01:41I've only seen it written.
01:42But I think you- the dirtiness and the funness is organic as opposed to-
01:49It's not like-
01:50You're not like forcing it to be an adult comedy.
01:52This is really who these people are.
01:53Yeah, I think we really tried, even from the start with Harley,
01:57it's like we didn't want to make it edgelord for the sake of edgelord.
02:00We wanted it to all be character-based stuff.
02:04I think of it as a love story.
02:06That is what it was.
02:07It's love story.
02:09It's leading with love story.
02:10I mean, blood, gore, guts, killing and all the bag of dicks.
02:17It's really earnest in its love.
02:21You know?
02:22It's an old-fashioned save the farm story where a community comes together
02:27and rescues a beloved establishment through crime and bloodshed.
