Bizarro might work for a follow-on movie.  Metallo or Parasite work.  I kinda like the Toyman just so we can see Superman fucking destroy some giant robots.

Mr. Mxyzptlk or GTFO.

Is that even possible?!?

I thought Jack was in the terrible, terrible AVENGERS DISASSEMBLED.

Mantlo was overlooked because he wrote during the heyday of more talented and more self-promoting visionaries/divas like Chris Claremont, Frank Miller, and Alan Moore.  Mantlo was a workhorse type.  He got the books nobody wanted, last-minute fill-ins when the writer missed a deadline or suddenly quit/got fired,…

Out of morbid curiosity, I bought the first 6 issues of U.S. 1 last year for three or four bucks.  Yeesh.  "He's got a special plate in his head that lets him pick up CB radio…IN HIS HEAD!"  One of the worst superpowers of all time.  And his archenemy was the Highwayman, an evil trucker who made a deal with Satan or…

Haha!  SECTAURS was great!  Too bad it only lasted 8 issues or so.  I might be wrong but I think he wrote the STARRIORS mini-series too.  I guess Mantlo was the toy guy.  (Don't think he wrote U.S. 1, though.)

I miss THE CAPE.  I liked it.  I think it got slagged on undeservedly.  THE EVENT was dull, dull, dull.

And most of them aren't even victims.  The shark isn't a serial killer, it kills to eat.  It is what evolution has made of it.  These women are no different.

Of course it never occurred to them that maybe they should bail on the show, then.  Shit like that is why I think these shows should be destroyed.

The problem is really America's addiction to celebrity.  Fame is like emotional crystal meth for these people.  Just eats them up from the inside out and yet they can't stop looking for that next hit.  These shows are way more corrosive to people's mental health than (for example) kids reading comic books, as someone…

This is what's known as Stockholm syndrome.

I was going to rag on JUDGE JUDY viewers, but then I remembered that I used to watch those scripted court shows like DIVORCE COURT and SUPERIOR COURT and THE JUDGE.  For a while there SUPERIOR COURT was neck and neck with THUNDERCATS in my hierarchy of afterschool TV shows.

The burden of proof for any extraordinary claim rests with the one making the assertion.

Pretty sure SERIAL KILLER FUCKBUDDIES is next.

Iran-Contra.  Or UNDER THE CHERRY MOON.  That's it, that's the best I've got.

All of January's surgery was clearly necessary since it came out well.

I agree, HOARDERS isn't the least bit exploitative.

No, that's too good for them.  At this point, fundamental forces in the universe are all but demanding that we shit on them.  Right in their mouths.

Of course this shit can be discussed.  But this article was offering a defense of the show and, by extension, all shows like it.  It's not a convincing one, in many people's opinion.  The End.
