Like I said above, there were also a cowboy and a construction worker to go with the sailor, the Native American, and Mr. Handlebar Mustache.

RIP Christopher Latta.
Larry Hama seemed to be a huge fan of Clutch in the comic. It was interesting how he had obvious favorite characters he liked to focus on, who were mostly ignored in the cartoon (like Rock 'n' Roll, Clutch, and Breaker), while the cartoon writers had their own favorites (Shipwreck, the comedy duo of Bazooka and…
Baroness helped shape my "type" for life — dominant brunettes with glasses and shiny, tight, black outfits. But Scarlett and Firestar from the Amazing Friends also got me into redheads.
#21, "Silent Interlude," reminds me of Frank Miller at his best, but I think he had already introduced all the Hand elements into Daredevil by then.
I don't know why it never occurred to me as a kid to make the Village People out of G.I. Joes. Probably because I never had the right ones: Tollbooth (construction worker), Shipwreck (sailor), Wild Bill (cowboy), Spirit (Native American stereotype), and Gung Ho (guy with a cap, handlebar mustache, and vest with no…
I loved the alternate dimension one, where Grunt, Clutch, and Steeler sacrificed themselves to stay behind in the alternate dimension to help the heroic Baroness lead the resistance movement.
"I pity the fool who don't join Cobra!"
WE'LL BLOW UP THE OCEAN!
I once had an idea for a sitcom where post-snake Cobra Commander and blinded Roadblock were roommates. One slithers around and says "ONCE… A MAN!" and the other cooks and speaks in rhyme.
Of course, my first thought was Steve Perry, the frontman of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies.
I loved this movie when I was a little kid. We rented the VHS tape from the beloved, long-gone Major Video more than once. At the time, it seemed like an innocuous "hero's journey" story to me.
My dad is a huge Jack Reacher fanboy, and he always thought Vincent D'Onofrio would have been ideal.
I always saw Eastwood as Cable or Dark Knight Returns-era Batman, personally.
I now want Adam Scott and Joel McHale as Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, considering Ben Wyatt and Jeff Winger were kind of like Beetle and Booster already, character-wise.
She was the drummer!
I loved TMBG in college in the late '90s. John Henry was never one of my favorites, but Flood, Apollo 18, and Factory Showroom were in regular rotation in my dorm room and my head. But it was years before I realized that "New York City" was a loving cover of a song by Cub, one of Neko Case's early bands.
And Cameron Diaz has never looked more radiantly beautiful.
And he was TERRIFYING in Dollhouse!
I became a huge fan of Peggy Carter, Daniel Sousa, and the Jarvises, plus most of the Netflix folks. But as far as the actual movies go, Cap is my favorite by far, and Evans' portrayal has made me a bigger fan of the comic version.
