Lurdiak posted:Dollhouse reminds me of this instant failure of a show that Fox tried to have some years later, the name of which escapes me. The premise was that this mild-mannered accountant guy finds out his entire life is a sleeper agent cover for the "real" him, who's a CIA assassin. Only something goes fucky with their programming and the personalities have to co-exist now. The problem? The lead couldn't sell being two different people for poo poo. You'd think that would be priority 1 when casting. Are you confusing this with American Ultra, the movie that finally made me hate Jesse Eisenberg and the one character he ever plays?

No, it was called "My Own Worst Enemy" with Christian Slater. Who is currently cast in a show where he has to play two different versions of the same character.

 More comics should allow me to put a bit out of context to create a scene of a cat in love. Also more cats in general. From Ms. Marvel #14

"Hot towels! Get them off!" No wonder Hydra always loses, if a problem like "towel on head" is something that takes more than like three seconds to solve.

So that is the gag being referenced by the Hot Voile vs Hot Oil gag in The Venture Brothers.

"Barber puts hot towel on customer and he suffers indescribable agony" was a popular slapstick gag in the days of yore, along with the pie in the face or slipping on a banana peel.

I like Plasticman for the same reasons I like Deadpool - everyone thinks they're just a useless goof until they suddenly show they're dangerously competent at the most unexpected moment and ruin your poo poo. For example, in one issue of XForce, Deadpool is up against the gang and they're expecting to just walk over him (I may well be wrong here, I don't have the books with me, but I think that's the general gist of it). At one point, he has a casually goofy conversation with Domino about things that creep him out and scare him and gets her to confide she's actually desperately afraid of chickens. Good laugh, everyone moves on. Later, while crawling through an air vent, this happens:

If that kind of key could open it, that's actually a pretty lovely lock.

He changes his body like a Looney Toons character. If he shapes shifts into a jet, then he can fly around. So in my head cannon, he just forms an electronic lock breaker....That looks like a key.

Or his arm did something really complex inside the lock and then he made his finger into a generic key for the purposes of making that joke.

My favorite thing about Plastic Man is everyone will be goofin' on him and not taking him seriously and Batman is just in the corner loving terrified. Plastic Man's an immortal shapeshifter with barely any of the limits other shapeshifters have to live by, he'd gently caress you up. My other favorite thing about Plastic Man is everything else about Plastic Man

I don't like Plastic Man because he's not biodegradable. Superheroes should be more environmentally friendly.

There's no assumption to be made. It's right in the art. The slot he stuck is arm in doesn't look anything at all like the key he made. You guys are trying way too hard to poke at a joke.

I think he quit the Justice League immediately after, though.

Plas gets disintegrated, and they just assume he's back in the present. Then when everyone else dies, they wonder where Plas is... Which is when they realise being disintegrated didn't kill him and he's been dissolved in the ocean for a thousand years or so.

The JLA was killed in the obsidian age, but Manitou Raven resurrected them with the help of Green Lantern. Eventually in the future someone noticed his absence and realized if he wasn't brought back, then he must not have been dead. Oops!
