Hello! I hope this isn't a bother, but I saw that you used to run supermansion appreciation. I know that it has been inactive for a year, but I didn't know who to ask about what happened with the show. I am not from the USA, and Crackle isn't avaliable in my country anymore, but I wanted to know if the show has been officially cancelled? Because I have been searching everywhere and there are no news whatsoever, and that's really sad. I really miss the show. Thank you.

Hello dear anon!

Unfortunately, I don’t think we will be getting any information about Supermansion anytime soon. The creators have finished Lex’s arc, and as soon as they were ready to begin production on the next phase of the show, Covid hit and shut down all in-person work, including stopmotion studios. In the meantime, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios (the studio that produces Supermansion) focused more on their 3D and 2D animation departments, producing mostly Hulu Originals, since they could work on any other kind of animation via remote work. Stopmotion is the only form of animation that must be done in person, and while that creates a unique and oftentimes personal feel, it also shares many of the same limits that live action does. While the Animation industry as a whole is going through a hiring boom due to being one of the safest forms of entertainment to produce in the world’s current environment, stopmotion has unfortunately been left largely on pause.

While Stoopid Buddy Stoodios has posted some Supermansion-related things to their social medias, such as this gem:

They seem to be suspending production on that for the moment. There’s also the whole drama that came when they added the show to Adult Swim, then quietly removed it from Crackle a few months later, making it nigh impossible for new audiences to get into the show now.

They’re hiring on more Stopmotion animators now, so they might one day pick Supermansion back up, but for now it looks like Supermansion has been restricted to a firm “cult classic” status.

In the meantime, it looks like the team who used to work on Supermansion (and before that, Robot Chicken) is being transferred over to work on the Modok show for Disney, which seems to have a similar style of humor, animation, and storytelling than Supermansion, and would probably be more profitable for the studio after the financial hit they took from the pandemic. Perhaps the studio sees Modok as the spiritual successor to Supermansion, the same way Supermansion was the spiritual successor to Robot Chicken. Which is good for the stopmotion animators, but maybe not so much for the Supermansion fans.

I think that, if they were to pick Supermansion back up again, it would be as a passion project. I wouldn’t put it past this studio to one day make, say, a movie to wrap up all the plot threads, but for now we are in Limbo.

Inktober Day 1: Ring! I decided to draw a Sailor Moon Inspired femme redesign of Black Saturn from Supermansion! Also inspired by this dope picture of Saturn, the planet:

I'll probably try to do something more coherent for tomorrow, but you know, sometimes you just wanna draw a buff super dude confidently rocking a pretty pink dress.

THE LEAGUE OF FREEDOM IS BACK. SORT OF.

And by that I mean SuperMansion is back on Adult Swim!

A nice way to show the series some love and revisit some real good episodes ❤️

Daaaaay 3! I chose Nemesis. First time I’ve drawn either of these two. Devizo was difficult to draw but only because of his weird hair and facial expression. It’s SUPPOSED to be unimpressed or amused because Rex is all about that ‘shoot first, ask questions later’ life.

Day 2: insanity

[supermansion-appreciation]

More art for Supermansion Fandom Week! I chose ‘Holiday’ and thought it would be hilarious to draw Ranger celebrating the 4th of July.

Canonically I think he’d go all out with his love for America. Sparklers, a huge flag he’d parade around, the works! But I could only sketch a giant flag for him to wave around.

If I digitalize this and the rest of my sketches, i’m sure I’ll add more!

I really want to join in on Supermansion Fandom Week. Unfortunately i’m a lazy bean and I might just have to post my sketches. Maybe I’ll digitalize them some other time.

I chose Powers for day one! Here’s Lex with her arm canon!
