I was going to say you need better friends, but never mind.

Yeah, the Casefiles were my introduction—I had no idea at the time that the Hardy Boys was this long-running series where they used to do things as quaint as foiling smugglers in Pirate's Cove, or whatever.

I understood that reference!

I don't think so—the Gray Man was set on detaining the friendly alien the Boys met in their second Ultra Thriller adventure with Tom Swift, The Alien Factor, but maybe that's because her species was opposed to the Trifecta in some way…?

Dead on Target, The Hardy Boys' Casefiles #1, where they're recruited into the shadowy intelligence agency the Network by the mysterious Gray Man.

I have the omnibus edition of Walt Simonson's run on Thor still sitting unread on my shelf because I have yet to muster the willpower to sit down and try reading a cinder block.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Thor the Mighty Avenger.

It never fails to impress me that the writers gave the best line in the movie to the secondary antagonist.

We're through the Myrish lens here, people!

As if the decades long conflict of violence, intimidation, and murder undertaken with tacit governmental approval that we got post-Reconstruction anyway but limited untold suffering to only one side was any better.

Counterpoint: That Strange book was awesome. The first issue featured a magic baseball game against demons! Ridiculously fun.

The DCAU as a whole is the easy and obvious choice, but I want to give some credit to Young Justice, too. It wasn't perfect, but with a comparably strong cast to the DCAU and a setting that was a really fantastic distillation of the DC Universe (especially coming just as the Nu52 hit), it had a lot of potential to be…

Ben Acker and Ben Blacker's The Thrilling Adventure Hour—a new-time podcast (or a live stage show, to a lucky few) in the style of old-time radio. Particularly the Beyond Belief segment that features Paul F. Tompkins & Paget Brewster as those married mediums, Frank & Sadie Doyle.

You lot are my only friends.

Well, I assumed they would gloss over some of the time travel subplots for the sake of expediency.

TOO SOON

How did Alan Tudyk oust David Ogden Stiers as the "appearing in every Disney movie" guy?

"I once read that Lilo falls into the category of 'princess-like' characters along with Alice […]"

Come on, is some fidelity to the goddamn source material too much to ask?

It Batman shows up to fight him while riding the Neon Talking Super-Street Bat-Luge, all will be forgiven.
