Talk:The Maxx

message: As I mentioned in the summary for the revert, this article doesn't need a rewrite, but expansion. If you want to add back in the info from the rewrite, feel free to do so. But please do not delete information from the article unless you can justify doing so. Also, an intro is very useful, and there is no reason to remove it only to leave in a short, underinformative one that contains spoilers. -- LGagnon 04:00, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Comico Primer #5 was not Maxx's first appearance. "Max the Hare" is not Maxx. The characters, setting and story are entirely unrelated to The Maxx. Sure, Maxx may have evolved from this character but this is not Maxx's first appearance. As far as I know, Maxx first appeared in Darker Image #1. Citing a few fan pages is not proper citation. Where is it published that Sam Kieth considers Comico Primer #5 as Maxx's first appearance? - tSR - Nth Man (talk) 23:37, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  First Appearance 

message: I'm a bit confused about the first two paragraphs of the "plot" section of the article. As mentioned in the second paragraph, "the series starts three years later". And indeed it does - the story arc beginning with issue #1 occurs after the described events. What isn't clear, however, is the source of the pre-issue #1 information - it would be helpful to know whether this information is revealed later in the series, or if it exists "outside" the proper series.

message: If you're going to add a template to the article claiming that we need to clean it up (or any other such template), could you at least mention on the talk page why we need it? -- LGagnon 04:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup?

message: Do we really need a separate article? It seems kind of pointless considering how verbatim the TV series was. A second article would just be redundant. -- LGagnon 20:05, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, in terms of narative, the TV series tells the very same story. The article should not be split unless some serously drastic deviations in the narative occur. --KefkaTheClown 21:52, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

text: That's only one minor difference, though. You can throw that in a small trivia section. And both Sin City and anime have major differences that a separate article is needed for; this series does not. -- LGagnon 00:28, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Right now, this isn't that long of an article. Add info for the TV series here, and we'll decide whether or not to fork it when/if it becomes needed. For now, it is not needed. -- LGagnon 04:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Should we add on of these templates to the TV series section? --Thaddius 14:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I saw an interview with Rob Liefield giving the comic a vary interesting critic, where could we add this in the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leninstomb (talk • contribs) 02:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if it seems relevant, I guess it could be added to its own section at the end of the article, with properly cited sources. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 17:48, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Liefeld critique 

message: Originally, the radios in The Maxx played I Want to Marry a Lighthouse Keeper by Erika Eigen, but this was changed to "I'm in love with the school bus driver" a similar-sounding song, but at the expense of the Clockwork Orange reference. Surprisingly, I hadn't even realized this (having only original recordings of the aired versions and digital versions of the same) until I re-watched some of the show on mtv.com. Given that this was apparently changed in the VHS release of the show, I suppose it's unlikely to be changed back now, but it may warrant a mention.

thread_title:  Over 

message: I hold in my hand an audio cassette that says "1993" and "MAXXimum Sound" and "Animated Alligator Production" on it and contains an audio dramatization of the events from the comic book, including voice actors and minimal sound effects and music. Note that the MTV cartoon came out in 1995. And yes, it's difficult to hold a cassette in my hand as I type. But my point is that someone should include this in the article who isn't me because I'm lazy, and I always seem to do it so wrongly that other people revert the edits that I've made no matter how many books and websites I reference. So have at it, you.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doubledragons (talk • contribs) 23:15, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Can anyone think of a good reason why that article exists?  It's not like he appears anywhere else but in this comic and its TV adaptation.  Whatever is there that isn't here could be incorporated here, if it's worth doing.  It has no references.  ZarhanFastfire (talk) 05:34, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

message: I'm just adding this here in case its found significant later. "Maxx appeared in the House of Mouse episode "Pete's House of Villains" where he was shown as one of the best heroes to fight against Pete and his villainous friends." Bod (talk) 06:49, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cameos 

message: In 1996 The Maxx was parodied in a single issue comic titled "The Taxx" (#1, Volume 1) by "Parody Press!", a division of Express Publications, Inc., written by Don Chin with layout by Bill Maus, finished pencils and inks by Mike Taylor and lettering by Hathaway, Leach & Lawrence A.C.P.A. Firm. 
The comics' title is explained by both the fact that The Taxx, a commercialized written form of his nickname "The Tacks" has "the world's largest thumb-tack glued to his knuckles" and that the release of the comic originally was sheduled for April, Tax Season in the U.S.
It contains a 24-page black-and-white story wherein the Taxx, whom we find living in a box in an alley, retells his story of having opened a Tax Audit office in Australia but, being overtaxed with the workload keeping him away from his wife, descended into madness, which resulted in the failure of both his business and his marriage. So he decides to set for a new life and follow in the footsteps of an old college buddy who made it big in the states as a superhero. It turns out that the main problem a superhero faces is getting a job in the comic book industry working for one of the big companies. Not having achieved that, the Taxx ends up being a stranger in a strange land, tortured by nightmares, living in a box in an alley.2003:CA:3F18:4663:49E8:16C6:1C81:3F0A (talk) 17:40, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
