And they can't ever bring in three new specialists to go back to a time period where the mission went wrong and try again. That'd be too easy!

Can we get a Tucker Carlson/Bill O'Reilly feud going?

Stan and Jack never really did much with them being in school (with their one teacher, who for one creepy panel had the hots for the one female student.) They focused more on them being super heroes. They actually graduated from the school in issue #7! It took poor Peter Parker in public school until issue #28 of…

"Hero High", the Saturday morning cartoon from 1981, may have been an inspiration too. The idea isn't groundbreaking but the execution can be strong (and using Valiant characters is probably fun for those who know them.) Not sure it has to be a ripoff for using a similar premise (one that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby…

There was some anti-Semitic stereotyping in some of the early cartoons and according to Disney biographer Neal Gabler (a great writer by the way), "He got the reputation because, in the 1940s, he got himself allied with a group called the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, which was an…

The Hebrew Hammer!

Silver Age Batman and Superman were aimed at kids in elementary school. They're super silly. I think the batshit craziness of it makes them fun to read here and there.

He is a creepy propaganda robot. But one lacking in all charisma and subtlety, so I think he won't be allowed in public too often after today.

In more innocent days they used to just call it An Imaginary Story I believe (when The Super-Sons was an ongoing feature in World's Finest.) And not show us who the mom's were to keep it open.

My favorite Kevin Smith movie (Chasing Amy close behind.) I may be in the minority on that one.

So during the show there was a commercial for "Hidden Figures". The narrator said "Winner of three Academy Award nominations including Best Picture." I can't remember it being stated like that before. Usually it's "Now nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Picture." The "winner" part makes it sound…

How so? I think she's hilarious when on SNL, as it lets her show her range. She would've made a great cast member.

More like Saturday Night DEAD! Weekend Update? Fake news!

Is the extended version worth watching? I thought the regular length version had a few good moments and visuals but, wow, what a wasted opportunity to do something great.

Not to be confused with Smurfs, who are 3 apples high.

Definitely. The Source/Force, Apokolips/Death Star, Highfather/Obi Wan, Orion/Luke… there's a lot of New Gods stuff in Star Wars in addition to Darkseid/Vader, but the evil man in the mask look of Vader (plus the cape, take no shit attitude, and later scarred face) is very Doom.

According to the Orange Man, Syracuse is going to win the NCAA tournament. If they don't… FAKE NEWS!

Thanos was inspired by Darkseid (as likely to some degree was Darth Vader.) I find the Darkseid/New Gods mythology much richer than the Starlin space stuff even though Thanos himself may be a little more three dimensional.

Or Brol-in?
