I was actually around when she was developing the pitch for Space Battle Lunchtime. She was super worried that it wouldn't go anywhere. I told her she'd probably get the gig. And sure enough, she was the ONLY one who got in at the time. My pitch was rejected, though frankly it was to be expected. It wasn't my best…

I heard that the original was meant to be darker but turned into a light and fluffy show after the original TV movies. I wonder if the initial vision had more rules and structure, but they dropped them so the show could be more disposable yet highly accessible?

I was scanning the comments section just to make sure someone mentioned it. I actually loved this show as a kid. I never bothered to watch the original version though. Is it worth a watch?

I think I'm slowly starting to realize that almost no superhero film does what I need/want superhero films to do. I mean I enjoy almost every superhero film on some level, but can't call practically any of them a favorite. Except Mystery Men for some reason. That's still a solid offering that gets overlooked way too…

I didn't realize that. Thanks for telling me. I had always just assumed they used a ton of electricity and water.

You're right. I should be grateful for what I have. I keep feeling so empty after each success but I gotta give myself more credit.

Wow, dang that really does suck. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can find some better work soon.

I'm on the edge of making real money and turning this into a full-time job. Peaking here would destroy me. Can I peak after 2020? Like after my first book comes out at least? That would be nice.

I have to withdraw from this conversation. I just can't devote too much more mental energy into this. I apologize. This is on me.

That's fine. We're just gonna have to agree to disagree. All I'm saying is that the DCEU deserves a good faith examination and it doesn't get one. The general narrative is that anyone who likes it or thinks there's any merit to it is wrong. Not even simply possessing a different opinion, it's treated as being…

Well at least you have the weekend off, right?

There's also the whole pre-washing thing which just seems ridiculous to me. At that point why don't you just wash the dishes? You've already put in the energy and you'd remove a step that literally costs you money to do.

Some would argue Morrison is still wowing folks. I haven't read enough Morrison to have a real opinion about it though.

Oh yeah. I completely forgot that gag. Good gag.

in the DCEU Metropolis and Gotham are autonomous districts located in the Chesapeake which was a nice change of pace. At least for Metropolis anyway. But I really liked the one in Lois & Clark where it's this Chicago-like city with shades of LA architecture. Was weirdly ambivalent to the one in Smallville though and I…

Those cracks are dreadfully apparent but they're kinda no worse than some of the odd cracks in the MCU. Like how SHIELD is a secret organization that is so secret that nobody has even heard about it and the people involved can't even keep their names and acronyms straight in Iron Man 1, but by the time of Winter…

Ant-Man only partially filmed in San Francisco. There's a lot that's very clearly Atlanta. But for the most part it works.

The city across the bay from Gotham being Bludhaven has only been a thing for a couple of decades. And while canon, the DC Atlas doesn't record or even account for all the various shuffling multiple cities did before getting more fixed locations in the Modern Age. But at least twice they were stated as being on…

One of my biggest fears is plateauing. Peaking here would be devastating. I wonder if other comic creators have that fear and that's why they ignore the very idea that they've peaked.

I still have a massive fine and I'm moving in like 2 weeks. So maybe I can try again in Minnesota. It would be nice to check out books again.
