Admittedly I found that Batman comic to be hilariously insane when it came out.

He’s a little biased - Liefeld did some work for Cruise in the mid-90s and drew his Mission Impossible comic for Marvel circa 1996. I don’t know if they kept in touch but he’s always been very pro-Cruise.

Fuck yeah Robotech. Loved that when I was a kid

And wise creative choices.

Agreed. Birds of Prey was a huge disappointment for me and was full of weird missteps and a terrible script.

And with good cause!

Here in Australia we’re two weeks into a six-week election campaign and our opposition leader’s just gone down with Covid and will be in iso for a week, all while our fuckwit Prime Minister continues his bullshit campaign. 

I understand where he’s coming from but at the same time, Kareem was also famously and notoriously quite prickly, both with his teammates and especially the fans.

Just wait until Don gets the Reagan account in 1984 and does Morning Again in America.

I recently binged the entire run of the Amazon Billy Bob Thornton series Goliath and was delighted to see her in the first season of it.

Danger Girl is one of those things which was wildly popular during its time but faded from the zeitgeist in a huge way.

And even then, I think he’s reasonably sympathetic in the Claremont/Lee X-Men run. His death at the end of that is a good end to the Claremont version of the character.

Absolutely. It was such a fucking hackjob.

The most recent episode which focused on Kareem was amazing. Such an interesting guy. 

For real.

Looking back, it’s interesting that it’s been nearly 20 years since Magneto used in a major villainous context (and even then the end of Morrison’s run was rectconed so that it was Xorn pretending to be Magneto).

Not off the top of my head but they talk about Carson a lot in the commentaries, particularly Seasons 1-4 while Jay Kogan, Mike Reiss and Al Jean were all on staff, among others.

Ah firsties.

I’m delighted Ken Branagh won. Belfast was a lovely movie.

Late night American talk shows have never been part of my life so my entire frame of reference for Carson is his appearance on The Simpsons and the hatred its writers had for him.
