I still see carbon paper used by the person who inspects my apartment’s gas supply — written on rather than typed, but still a handy way to make one copy for my records and one for theirs.

Shame that Angelina Jolie’s already been cast as Thena, otherwise Chan could play another character named after Athena/Minerva.

You can skip Death(True)² entirely, it’s a clipshow plus the first half-hour of End of Evangelion.

The MCU has built up the idea of Thanos-as-ruler more than the comics tend to, which doesn’t help in comparisons.

Though they’ve also shown a tendency to give a sudden yank on the reins late on, where Marvel has seemed more consistent.

....you’re all assassins, aren’t you?

Its weirdness leans much more towards dark comedy than LoT’s silliness. Well worth trying for its own sake, though.

The strike finished before the season started, so its biggest effects are probably on the earlier episodes, besides shortening the season a little.

Are you saying this is why my villain Lamprey Man lacks appeal?

The era names are a fairly big deal generally in Japan — while the western calendar’s more common, referring to the era and year number is just as valid (it’s the first year of Reiwa right now). So if a series has break points that match the eras fairly well, it’s not so surprising that it gets adopted as a way to…

I think there’s a problem with Dent being, by now, a slightly old-fashioned English type.

Watch early 60s Doctor Who and you’ll appreciate the zippy pace of the 70s and 80s stuff.

And internalise the style of the original enough that the tangents feel organic.

I think computers were still conceptualised largely as mainframes in the late 60s, with monitors not an entirely standard interface device yet. By the early 80s, there were home computers which had monitors and could do graphics. Both shows demonstrate an advanced version of what was around at the time, it’s just that…

....with a different outcome to the shooting than The Anatomy Lesson, unfortunately.

The big difference, which I guess you’re already alluding to, is that here they still seem to be playing off each other rather than performing in isolation.

I bet Night Monkey will get there first.

Playmobil maintains its “sigh, where’s the Lego” status in the form of a film.

I’ve definitely seen Simon talk about 3 seasons before, and the fairly big timeskip from season 1 to 2 already seemed intended for a limited run like that— the ultra-seedy New York era only lasted so long.

Either that or they haven’t figured out that the live-action DuckTales won’t need *actual* money in McDuck’s money bin.
