He is SUCH a gem. And I love all the characters a lot, so it's saying something that he's such a standout.

I don't even understand how it works, but all the Marvel characters basically come with mountains of legal messes. They had to run everything by a legal consultant just to write the episode.

I'm still REELING over "Road to Danville," which was a perfect episode in every way.

I think it was sort of a combination of the crew getting the superheroes they wanted and a lot of legal redtape. From what I've read, there were certain characters they just couldn't get (they had to FIGHT for the Howard the Duck reference), and some they just decided to cut for time (Captain America).

I thought they kicked the whole "fake geek girl" thing right in the face with this one.

Every single time they tease Doof having genuine friendships, I cry. (And this makes like the third version of Perry he's bonded with without even realizing it's Perry.)

Maybe it just kind of freezes them as they are? Not that there really has to be a rational explanation, but he'd just be stuck in the body of the Hulk without the benefits.

I loved this episode, and I think your takeaway is spot-on: it's really STRANGE how there's been so much negativity surrounding this crossover when fans of the show knew from the beginning it would be handled with a lot of heart and intelligence. Even if it weren't, no one should have issue with heroes being…

And it's the TOP SPOT. I'm so emotional about it.

It IS appointment viewing for me because it's just been MY show for a while, that one that just makes you stupidly happy. But I love recommending the specials to people because they're all so undeniably whiz-bang awesome, and I've heard really great things about Mission Marvel from everyone who saw it early.

I think I agree with this comment. I'm … interested in how they'll push through this for more Finn character development, but I would be enjoying his journey so much more if it were based in flaws that he ALWAYS had, like just generally jumping too quickly into things and trying to manage Being A Hero with the…

I definitely raised my eyebrows when Mordecai said he ONLY cared about Margaret, and I hope that has payoff down the line because it's so patently UNTRUE given the four seasons of development we've had with the park workers. Come on now, Mordecai.

If you notice, too, the Friend Zone was conceptualized in this episode as an awkward, stagnant place Mordecai has put HIMSELF in, not something MARGARET put him in. I think that pretty much completely redefines the term, at least the way it's been misused.

I've always kind of seen their relationship progressing as sort of a Huge Surprise on Rigby's part. We've really only had one episode that really centered around them (besides Eileen's first episode), and yet Rigby has progressed MAJORLY in his feelings towards her, just based on their background interactions. It…

Hmm, I thought it was pretty clear that the Angelmaker had a very limited understanding of religion himself, based entirely on sort of a vague, grade school concept of guardian angels with no basis in theology. Someone who had seen the episode earlier was saying it could be a critique on religious fanaticism, but that…

It was really never an effort to "replace" one show with another, though, I don't think. This and Beware the Batman were being developed a long time before GLTAS or YJ were even in danger. I remember being elated because I thought we were going to get two hours of DC material. Sucks that it didn't work out that way,…

I really enjoyed this. The comedic writing is just so well done, excellently paced and executed. I laughed out loud so many times, and I think this series will do a really good job in the long run of satirizing the original. ("He couldn't hear me. Because he was on fire.") I agree with a few comments that I liked the…

Not to mention the fact that so many of the episodes (especially the most recent new ones) are loaded with character development that really push the dynamics of the relationships, even the ones that seem already "set." (Doof and Perry working together even when Doof thinks he's some random platypus named Steven - so…

YES YES YES. Favorite show airing.

Yes! Further proof that anything Dan Povenmire touches turns to musical gold.
