I think it was in Dan Slott’s She-Hulk that the awful, awful Machine Man is revealed to keep a Life Model Decoy or some such (forgive me, I’m away from home and can’t look it up) of Monica. It is programmed, for his amusement, to constantly whine and bawl that no one appreciates her.

Technically, the rehydrated henchmen (1966) were already doomed the instant Penguin selected the wrong tap. As for the clock tower henchman (1989), he’s a hallucination because there’s no explanation for those guys being there in the first place. They just...appear. Perhaps they were rehydrated as well. Screw Joker,…

But then how will these fine young men be molded into the Leaders of Tomorrow?

Do we really have to explain this to you, over and over again?

Or Jar Jar. Has anyone made a Jar Jar reference yet? Of course they have!

D’awww. I haven’t been this dead-of-cute without tiny horses being involved for years.

On the one hand, I reject the notion that it’s solely the parent’s responsibility to filter everything—there are simply too many entities out there who see a buck to be had in turning your kid into a mindless addict to their product, and they devote every resource to making that happen, consequences be damned.

I love/hate that Alcaraz copped all the detail from the poster for The Giant Spider Invasion.

It’s true! I saw South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut in San Francisco theaters three times (you haven’t lived my life, don’t you dare judge me) and each time at least one family filed right past the hyoooooge warning signs about the film’s language and content, into the front rows, and then right back out during ‘Uncle…

Oh my Lord everything about that cycle is so preposterous...except its rider. You were the first woman this child of the ‘60s ever had a crush on, Yvonne, and it never went away. Rest in peace.

Am I so old and out of touch, that I am miffed that Jerry Goldsmith is not mentioned? No. No, it is the children who are wrong.

I HAS A SNOBAWL

Orrrrrr, since Doc Doom is more popular than the Four, as clearly evidenced by how mad everyone gets over him compared to them (aside from some shrieking and pissing about black people), and since Doc Doom has a rich history of adventures that don’t involve the Four (and even some not involving other superheroes at…

Superman’s got a hell of a lot of relationship repair ahead of him.

His daughter was a U.S. Congresswoman for crying out loud, but now Batgirl looks and acts like she just graduated high school. I’m assuming Flashpoint really scrambled some eggs here.
