Beast's costume is profoundly and comically terrible. Just bewilderingly bad. But I thought Kurt was kinda neat, as ridiculous German 80's costumes/styles go? :shobon:

But yeah I think it's worth seeing. It was fun.

Last time Marvel would have reset the Stupid poo poo counter was when those guys called Black Widow a bitchskank because she was flirting with Hawkeye/Hulk in Age of Ultron.

What original, independent (i.e. non-adapted) superheroes have been attempted in film and television? The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are The Incredibles, Darkman and M.A.N.T.I.S. I'm not sure if stuff like Heroes or Alphas counts, but if we're generous and say that it does, and factors in stuff like them, what else is there?

There's a dude who lives around these parts that has a car that looks like it's barely 3 iterations older than the Model T and he keeps it super shiny. It makes me giggle to imagine that he's going to get his groceries driving something that should by all rights be in an automotive museum.

I went looking for some old Hanna Barbera intros to show off non -adaptation superheroes (Mighty Mightor, Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles, Samson & Goliath, Space Kidettes...), but ended up abandoning that entirely in favor of watching old Fox Kids commercials.

After 20ish years of having little snatches of this song pop into my head, I've finally been able to listen to the whole thing again:

If memory serves they optioned Nightman for tv and pressed it into production without ever reading the comics so the show was only superficially similar.

No love for the greatest post-Heroes Hero? THE CAPE ?



When a straight laced cop is framed for murder or hijacking WMDs or something, he fakes his death and is taken in by Max Malini's Carnival of Crime! There, he learns an astonishing array of circus skills such as Boxing, Escapecraft, Wrestling, Hypnotism and stage illusions! When given a spider silk cape, Malini transforms the former cop into The Cape! An instrument of vengeance!

I'm still pissed at Gaia, the Spirit of the Earth (who could no longer stand the terrible destruction plaguing our planet) for not releasing the designs for those solar-powered supervehicles the Planeteers cruised around in. Does she want to fight pollution and corporate profiteering or not?

$80,000 dollars a year plus royalties is a pretty decent chunk of change. If I was an artist I would almost certainly jump at this if I wasn't tied to anything else.

Edit: It also seems like way too much money, how well did Kick-rear end 2 sell?

Scroll down. About half is funny amateur stuff.

I'm sure whoever gets picked will have contacted him privately rather than taken their chance in the pile of comments.

I scrolled down until I hit a Starfire pencil where she was showing off both boobs and a butt plus her face and flexing for the camera while kneeing(?) the air and I was like "wow, this guy should work for DC".


Then I scrolled past his artwork and it turns out he already does.
