What a sad loss of a working actor. I’ll forever remember that show fondly and it’s something I may end up showing my kids even if it cuts off kind of abruptly.

I mean, he needs to technically stay below freezing because he no longer has water in his cells but some sub-zero temperature fluid..so I imagine anything room temperature let alone capable of burning normal human cells would be insanely hot.  A warm cup of water would hurt him, a lit cigarette mind as well be a blow…

Talespin is the best show of the lot hands down, it works in any time because it’s mimicking Bogart and Hepburn in the African Queen and other noir-esque films from that era with a heavy dash of Cheers/Moonlighting thrown on top.

So it’s ‘Hey, remember your early 90's childhood: The Movie’ and instead of just remaking a fun adventure show with new episodes we get...this.

It’s the implied rights behind it, essentially owning a trademark on it via NFT which is the only legal place it can be reproduced based on the law. It’s still kind of a loose setup where essentially when you buy the NFT you’re really buying the rights of reproduction with it.

26 in 3000, so Fry in 3024 is in fact...50.  He was established as 25 in 1999.  Honestly, it’s time to just go ahead and do a serious time jump, give Fry and Leela a kid, let the Hermes’ family have grown children and let the young Hubert be an adult now as well.  It would atleast be interesting.

Why is Ike on the list?  He’s not been a relevant actor since the mid-2000s on MADTv, I can’t even think of what he’s been in in years.

A.) You’re right, he was appropriate with her and doesn’t excuse his treatment of Uma Thurman.

Well, the Pym-Van Dyne dynamic starts out platonic, he is straightforward much older than her. The same thing with Reed and Sue, they address it more awkwardly, Reed in 1966 is still a WWII vet...making him atleast 43-44 which is somewhat I suspect an aspect of Lee/Kirby’s age in general reflecting their own…

Betty and Alicia both needed rescuing, if memory serves.

Thank you, i’m not a comic historian, I just finally settled in to enjoy them because I grew up liking them but was too poor to get into much of the trades until I was an adult and I’m an actual historian so i’m just a little obsessed with revisiting the past to see where they call came from.

Reading the silver age comics on Marvel Unlimited is a good reminder that these comics are uniformly over 50 years old. Their authors were already in their 30s into their 40s at the time and all white until the 1970s at the earliest and female writers sometime...in the late 1980s/90s?

It’s amazing how progressive they…

This.  It’s a book from a British woman with a semi-educated background that went to the equivalent of a state college for US discussions (Exeter is a mid-tier place, something below the Ivys but on par with a Big 10/ACC school).  She definitely is pretty openly bigoted and her books reflect a woman who graduated from…

You’re so much more invested than I ever was....did you read them later or just absorb in a different way? I read them from about 10-16 or so, maybe a little later and read about 10-20 of them, mostly picking the ‘best’ as were suggested by the late-90s internet.

I actually loved Darksaber as a kid because the whole point of it was how dumb and cheap the hutts were, essentially how a cut rate capitalist mafia organization if they had to build a nuclear bomb-scale threat would be awful at it.

Because in a battle between planets only destroying planets means anything. The death star is a nuclear bomb stand-in. It’s ALWAYS been that, it will always REMAIN that. You can’t keep the scale and not do a death star ripoff because scaling requires the threat to be massive but also stoppable by a small number of…

“Captain Canada: The Winter Soldier” can no longer be made, John Candy isn’t here and frankly, he was the only Captain Canada...

I haven’t watched the show in years and only sporadically then. The 2nd half of this feels like they’ve grown so much. Cartman really isn’t trying to undo anything because his life did work out that way. Breaking up the gang actually allowed him to grow. His end in the ‘good’ timeline is fascinating as it’s…

Whatever you need to say to survive your own ignorance, champ.  Did it feel good to say words?

What’s funny about being trans?  If you can answer that we can go from there.
