BizarroAzrael posted:Another fun fact, the episode was written by Warren Ellis, who didn't know Simmons had been cast and would have liked to have knowingly written dialogue for him. No it wasn't. "Patriot Act" was written by Matt Wayne. Ellis wrote "Heart of Darkness", the episode in which Eiling first appeared and Ray Palmer kicked all of the rear end.

BizarroAzrael posted:What's with Carol's origin there? I've never heard of here being anything but a pilot before getting her powers. At first the Ms. Marvel persona was a distinct personality, and Carol's repeated blackouts/absences got her turfed from the Air Force. Eventually she settled for an EIC job at JJJ's new women's magazine (on her own terms though, because Carol don't take no poo poo).

I think Dr Zoidberg uses that pronunciation too. My favorite part of that episode is the next shot after we first see the robot's face where it looks like Spidey and the robot are twenty feet tall fighting in the street.

DisMafugga posted:David Wilkerson's The cross and the switchblade. Huh. I went to see who published this, assuming it was the usual sort of religious pap (and missing the cover blurb, oops), but apparently it's based on a book based on a true story. Which doesn't necessarily make the comic not the usual sort of religious pap (it was published by Spire Christian Comics, after all), but still, there you are. At any rate, what I wanted to say is that I kind of unironically like this character (at least from the limited sample of the thread.) There's something charmingly goofy about his religious enthusiasm, and I could see him as a bit character in some low-power-level superhero comic. Maybe running a soup kitchen in 'Daredevil' or something.

Adventures of Kool-Aid Man (1983 Marvel) #1 Adventures of Kool-Aid Man (1983 Marvel) #2  People like to joke about the Kool-Aid Man's tendency to cause costly structural damage by breaking through walls, but I think him breaching space faring and naval vessels is more amusingly dangerous by implication. Also, his foes are anthropomorphic manifestations of thirst. I want to see a crossover with Kool-Aid Man and Captain Crunch facing an alliance of Thirsties and Soggies. It's weird, because of these comics, Kool-Aid Man has a small page on the Marvel wiki that lists his real, secret identity as "Clarence Sykes" without sourcing or explanation.

Really? Batman's wielding batblades in that episode and he happens to have those in the Planetary crossover when he's fighting Jakita for the first time.

I never found it plausible that Clarence Sykes' co-workers wouldn't immediately realise that he's Kool-Aid Man. There's only so much that a hunched posture and big glasses can conceal.

Somebody had a blog for a while where they reviewed the period where Archie was licensed to Spire, and I just remember staring at the screen incredulously at some of the stuff. Like Jughead being hella devout and taking heat (initially) for it.

William Bear posted:Adventures of Kool-Aid Man (1983 Marvel) #2 There was a video game for the Intellivision (and probably others) in which you played kids trying to get all the ingredients to make Kool-Aid while those things chased you. It was creepy as poo poo, because the closer they go to you this Jaws like music would play, and if they touched one of your kids it would scream extremely high pitched and the kid would be frozen. For a loving Kool-Aid video game is was freaky as poo poo.

It's been almost 30 years so my memory might be hazy, but I think the Atari game played different. I seem to remember a powerup system, and a limited number of times you could summon Kool-Aid Man to crash through the wall and make the Thirsties have a bad day.

Old school videogames are the best/worst at that. Take the most fun/most iconic thing about a character and make it some kind of special or limited attack.
