Been a fan of the whole franchise since I was 8 or 9 years old. I used to love the cartoons, now, not so much. Something about Egon and Ray's character designs bugs me. Okay... Egon's hair bugs me a lot, and there's something about Ray's face that I can't pinpoint but heavily dislike, especially when he makes a hurt!puppy face.
I've been mainly inspired to write by the darker and edgier vibe that the short-lived 88MPH-published comic had (which was to be a reboot and retcon set post-millennium, around 2003/2004, which also simplifies the whole pop-culture referencing bit for me... ). I'm looking to the cartoon for certain timeline elements, adding 20 years to the dates, the movies and the 2009-released videogame for the technology and characterization, and the whole thing for the mythology.
Long, excited comment is long.
