I think part of the reason that people hate on the Star Wars prequel trilogy is that they were so dreadfully unfunny.

Yeah, I can tell you’re super busy running around pitching multiple simultaneous childish tantrums because so many people are laughing at you. Far too busy to worry about such trivialities as coherence.

Not to mention Guantanamo Negative Zone, suspending The Living Mummy over a fire pit, and locking up people who had saved the planet “for the foreseeable future” because they wouldn’t sign on to be government thugs. I know they were trying to draw parallels to current events but my god.

Not mine. From Mightygodking.com’s Civil War parody.

There are always men like you.

The wording that stands out to me is “United Nations.”

“He’s hesitating! That’s an arrestable offense! OPEN FIRE!!”

If he didn’t carry three hundred pounds of plot armor at all times, a very tiny piece of lead would’ve ended Batman two weeks into his crusade. Batman’s fights with Supes always depend on Supes playing boy scout and treating him with kid gloves.

I started with Villains United, and I enjoyed the characters and their dysfunctional-family dynamic, but ultimately—as with too many comics these days—the relentless parade of casual murder-as-punchline violence became more than I was willing to put up with.

I wanted to post the DVD cover of 2000’s Spankenstein, but it’s pretty iffy. (The upshot: He’s got big, big hands and knows how to use ‘em. ...On butts, I mean!) I’ve never actually watched the thing, but I’d totally watch the hell out of Smackula vs. Spankenstein.

P3: Can’t Stop Peaing

They’re both on blu-ray, so go nuts. (Shout! Factory paired them up with Frogs and the flabbergastingly awful nigh-forgotten Jaws of Satan, so if you like ‘em baaaad, you want these.)

I suspect Germain is trolling.

MOAR LIEK HARDCORRRRRRRE AMIRITE WOOOOOOOOO

Now that’s funny, because I loved the Penguin/Freeze team-up and Templeton’s artwork. This page alone is so...so Burgess Meredith you can hear his voice, capturing the quieter side of his performance that wasn’t so WAAAK WAAAAK WAAAAAAAAK. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Back when Star Wars first became Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope, I was wondering how the first three could possibly involve Luke, as the novelization and everything else associated with the first movie was subtitled The Adventures of Luke Skywalker. And even back then Lucas was telling everyone he had three or four

Yeah, I’m not sure what the deal is—except that this is Alternate-Universe Superman and Alternate-Universe Captain Marvel so the power levels might be different.

Also, if you don’t mind the game-graphics look and scraps of gameplay, the fanedits of the game’s cutscenes on YouTube make a watchable two-and-a-half-hour Evil Superman movie guest-starring a lot of turned-bad heroes. Here’s Alternate Universe Kal straight-up murdering Captain Marvel (ugh, fine, Shazam) for
