Quite possibly my favorite episode of that entire series.

It may be the “laziest type of fake Christmas,” but Hearth’s Warming Eve (the episode) never once takes the low road of shrieking about toy joy, which is admirable for a series forced to push that bucking train in our faces as often as possible. Instead, it gives us political satire and scary monsters and warnings…

“Do you know how many Ewoks I had to slash my way through to get this?”

Never really cared for the show itself (even as a kid I knew putting a magic act on television was defeating its entire purpose, and that using magic tricks to fight crime was limited in potential) but I frikkin’ loved that theme...and still do.

Oh, hey, it’s Iron Thor! Or is it Thor Machine?

Namorita was the one who slammed Nitro into the side of a school bus right before he blew Stamford up. She didn’t survive, obviously, but they brought her back by something something comic books.

It tickles me that the terrible Amazing Spider-Man newspaper strip features the Sub-Mariner even now.

Jesus Christ, I just want to fart into this artist’s open mouth.

That looks...VERY different from the version I remember.

The fatal exploding blocked rifle barrel is such an old trope that while I remember these scenes lo these forty-plus years, I can no longer recall the sources. I’m sure someone will help out:

and a reboot of the 1950s kids characters Sugar and Spike that reimagines them as modern day P.I’s

DC couldn’t gauge success if it squatted over their face and farted. The entire enterprise: (1) throw shit at wall; (2) keep what sticks; (3) rinse and repeat.

Putting it mildly. He probably demanded the script be centered around a character to be played by Jaden, then stormed out when everyone burst into laughter. Fools. Fools! One day they’ll realize their mistake!!

With Jaws: The Revenge, they thought it would be brilliant to not only kill off Sheriff Brody, but to constantly remind us of him throughout the entire film with stock footage from the original.

No, because of political correctness. Those People can’t take a joke. It was a joke! A joke!! /s*

Somehow the student tricked her into being an asshole. Those People be crafty like that.

Are they going to have to pry the steering wheel out of your cold, dead hands?

I wonder what the sudden erasure of Alderaan did for the galactic economy.

As long as nobody’s pointing anything at her, it’s all good as far as she’s concerned. You “little people” just keep right on killing each other.
