Thanks Rick!

I just wanted to add my name to the people who've enjoyed this series. I did have a specific question concerning the episode about "Marvel Superheroes". One of the series starred Thor & adapted the story of hIs first encounter with Hercules. I was curious if you were aware of a different version that was done on an episode (or 2? I forget,actually) of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys"? Or is it something you're going to cover at a later date?

Thanks for the kind words Rick!

I see the Thor and Hercules encounter in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys takes place in Season 5 of the Kevin Sorbo series.

I wasn't ever a regular watcher of the show, but since you've brought it to my attention, I may give it a look in the future,

Thanks again for watching!

My Top Ten Favorite Green Lantern Corps Stories

 

[Antiyonder]

Embarassed to say that I only watched one episode in 2009, but I've been going through the episodes today and just got done with the Aquaman one.

Now I'd have to say that it's not necessarily his powers that made him ineffective on Superfriends, but that he didn't have a BSP approved way of apprehending the bad guy. In other shows he could get into a fist fight and display super strength, whereas fisticuffs was a no-no on even the more action oriented episodes.

So in short, Aquaman's problem was the lack of a non violent means of catching the bad guy out of the water.

I've always liked the way that Aquaman was portrayed by Marv Wolfman when fighting Deathstroke. They acknowledge his strength given that he can withstand the pressures of the Ocean floors.

I just wanted to reflect that BSP really gives the lasting unfortunate impression to the general non-comic audience in SF that Aquaman is ineffective. To tie that into the comedic clips that I would eventually show.

 

[Rick Hodge]

I can also tell of an incident I saw at a comic book store a few months ago in which a parent showed his kid a picture of Aquaman and the kid said, "It's Mermaid Man!" That's right, the character from "Spongebob". Of course, I've seen those cartoons and they parody the Aquaman cartoons pretty faithfully (and takes a few shots at Batman and other Comics also.

Understood.

BTW, any chance of:

1. A video on the Plastic Man cartoon (Plus the pilot pitch that was on Disc 2 of the Series Set)?
2. A video detailing the Scooby Doo/Josie and the Pussycats crossover on The New Scooby Movie?

1. For sure. For both.
2. Not likely. I feel since I mentioned it in the first Josie video that's probably enough.

Thanks for watching Antiyonder !

do not trust Derekwc, for he has been replaced by a Skrull!

 

[Zorak Masaki]

While we're at it, are you going to cover "Superman's 50th Anniversary"? Its a bizzare, campy special from 1988 hosted by Dana Carvey that operates under the pretense that superman actually exists (we even visit "metropolis").

I will admit having not considered this special, but it'd be easy enough to include I suppose.

Who's gonna trust anything the Winter Soldier has to say?!?!?
