For me the goofiest use of heroes is that comic Marvel distributed to explain their growth as a company and their future plans. It's so ludicrous.

Choco1980 posted:Speaking of PSA tie in comics, I had a bunch of old Popeye Career Path comics we found by the school's dumpster when I was a kid. Basically it's Popeye and the gang teaching high schoolers about what jobs they might look into to make things easy for guidance counselors. Then there's the lady cops that have to try to convince hookers to go straight. Times so tough a strippers platform shoes got repo'ed. Gawddamn.

Edited Crisis was the best thing to come out of that loving event. Its a shame the rest of the issues never got the same treatment like Civil War was lucky enough to get.

The licensing would be a pain in the rear end, but I would be %100 behind a "league of this year's pop culture icons" series that updated it's cast yearly. Keeshhound fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Sep 2, 2015 |

At least one of these two teams should include Ash of Evil Dead fame. The 90s one seems a lot less good than the 80s one. The 80s one is about 2 degrees from believable.

Okay I get Edward Scissorshands, Lydia from Bettlejuice, Dana Sully from X Files, Zach from Saved by the Bell and Rufus from Bill & Ted. Who is the guy in the middle? Mal Reynolds from Firefly? He's from the mid 2000's.

Edit: Also, that's not Lydia from Beetlejuice (although that's not a bad idea). It's Nancy Downs from The Craft.

Technically, shouldn't Rufus be in one in the far future? (I literally haven't seen Bill and Ted in over a decade and do not remember what year Rufus is originally from.)

The Zach Morris one is leaning almost entirely on a joke, all the other ones apart from Sculley aren't really as Iconic as a single one of the 80s characters. Sculley's great, I'd switch the rest of the team out - Alan Grant from Jurassic Park, John Connor from Terminator 2 (or the robot itself), Hannibal Lector, Bill Murray from Groundhog Day as a man with access to lifetime upon lifetime of information and skills*, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. *only somewhat joking

On the topic of LOEG parodies / homages - I quite enjoy this one, which casts fictional characters as British prime ministers. Be warned, though, it is quite British.

I would say it's paid less attention to assembling a 'team' than just including some cool characters. Like it should be Mulder instead of Scully invited to serve on the secret team about weird poo poo going down because otherwise it violates the fourth wall of their characterisation on their own show. Zack is a teenager who brings literally nothing to the team except being an rear end, and you'd get that and more by using obscure legend Sledgehammer, who would totally be down for shooting anything he was pointed at. Rufus is from a thing in the 90s but he's explicitly from the future so he'd be better served being replaced by Bill or Ted, whichever of them was in danger of ending up at military school.

I really don't think anybody was still thinking about Edward Scissorhands in 1996. Replace him with Jerry Seinfeld and we'll talk.

Zach Morris should obviously be replaced by Kubiac from Parker Lewis Can't Lose as the heavy hitter. 1996 is a weird time, it turns out that most of the stuff I remember is either from the early 90s or the late 90s so it doesn't really fit. Looks like Sabrina got beaten out by the Craft for the witch spot. I guess you could put in Jarod from The Pretender.

Teri Hatcher's Lois Lane is a mid 90's icon and her exclusion from the team is insulting. Also Connor McCleod belongs on the 80's team.

I hope the 80's League has a serious case of buyer's remorse when they realize the Ol' Porkchop express Jack Burton isn't good for much besides catching knives and driving big rigs.
