Technically, if/when The Tick returns it won't be a reboot, but we should address that later. Meanwhile, here's Patrick Warburton!
Recently, The Tickcreator Ben Edlund promised the world that a return of The Tick to live-action courtesy of Amazon and Sony "is being pursued with vigor." How much vigor? Sweaty vigor? Enough vigor to warrant a triumphant battle cry of "Spoon!"?
Well, we don't know if things have moved any closer to reality since then, but we do know this: Patrick Warburton is aware of it, and he's down to don the blue suit once again. We'll leave it to Mr. Warburton to explain things:
"I'm really not at liberty to discuss anything in regards to The Tick right now. I will say, isn't it ironic that Captain Liberty's friend isn't at liberty? Are there discussions? I would say things look very interesting and positive. I love The Tick. I'd love to do it again. I never would have thought I'd have the opportunity to do this again. I think it would be a blast to do it again. We'll see what happens. One thing about the Tick, he is an insane character. I guess he doesn't have to be 29 years-old like Thor, I guess. He'll be 50 battling evil. I'd love to see what Ben Edlund's new vision for it is. I think it will be different. Perhaps a little darker and a little edgier. We'll see what happens."
Must it be dark an edgy? Maybe he's just winding everyone up. Although, there would be something kind of appropriately meta about an older Tick returning in a "darker and edgier" way, wouldn't there? The Lyme Knight Returns, anyone?
