prefect posted:Same here. It might have been about a kid with Stardust powers for all I knew. The main appeal was "anything he wants to happen, he can make happen, no matter how ridiculous". Embarrassing in retrospect, but I was just a stupid kid. There was a Richie Rich animated cartoon when I was little, where Richie and friends are crimefighters for some reason.. The one bit that sticks in my head is when Richie is chasing a badguy in his car (how can a 8yo drive? don't ask) and the baddie shoots a liquid that makes the car's windshield grow hair, so Richie pushes a button which makes mechanical arms spray the windshield with shaving cream and shave it. So, yeah, a kid with reality-warping powers battling others.

So he's basically the old joke of Batman's superpower being "I'm very rich," taken to its logical extreme. It all makes sense now.

My favourite is the clearly hastily rewritten rejected Batman spec scripts which lead to Rippy and Crashman, (Why they're that name, I dunno, but gently caress it who cares)

Of everthing in his life he names after money puns, you think his superhero identity would be one of them.

No, wait, the weirdest thing is that she's wearing stay-ups. No, wait, the weirdest thing is that she's apparently a robot, according to Wikipedia. SHE'S TWENTY-THREE? What.

bunnyofdoom posted:My favourite is the clearly hastily rewritten rejected Batman spec scripts which lead to Rippy and Crashman, (Why they're that name, I dunno, but gently caress it who cares) Man, this is dredging up long-forgotten memories... I think the story is that their characters of Rippy and Crashman had public lives as stuntmen. This would've been back when Evel Knievel was big, and people were trying to cash in on that (Johnny Blaze, Fall Guy, etc.)

Unless your name is Loki, the Marvel movies have a massive hard-on for showing that crime/evil doesn't pay, and even then Loki's plan in Thor 1 was some roundabout "for Asgard" bullshit and his Avengers plan was finding a way to run away from Thanos without getting blamed. Taskmaster's whole schtick of being the "Catch-22 henchman" just doesn't fly in that Comics Code Authority milieu, especially with Disney financing everything.

mind the walrus posted:. You seem to interpret malice, when the far simpler answer is: People like the bad guy defeated and the good guy winning in their superhero fairy tales. Or is the Disney spirit the reason why Batman defeats Bane and Superman Zod?
