Check out The Maxx!

In 1991, MTV, still mostly showing music videos with little to no commercials, came out with Liquid Television, an animation showcase designed to produce alternative animated adventures for a more mature and edgy audience. The most well-known of these was Peter Chung's Aeon Flux, but my personal favorite was Sam Keith's The Maxx.

If you've never seen it before, The Maxx is the adventures of a bum who believes he is a superhero and has dreams of being a warrior in the mythical land of Pangaea. I highly recommend it and the entire series is roughly two hours.

It still isn't available on DVD, but I just found out that you can check it out at MTV.com for free.

So what are you waiting for?

Do it.
