Snowglobe of Doom posted:Jack Kirby introduced Arnim Zola in April 1977, originally he'd transferred his consciousness into an ugly robot body. The Lupin the Third episodes with Doctor Zell first aired in September 1978. I didn't know. They're real similar. I wonder if the writer of that Lupin episode was aware.

He was a big fan of Americanga, that's what they called it. They were also really into Anericanime like The Jetsons

There was a LOT of crossover between American and Japanese media for a long time, especially with early manga. Astroboy's creator was massively inspired by Disney after all and it kept that way for a while

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Synopsis for Shazam! This synopsis of a kids movie needs more specifics. Such as: -will the ripped, godlike body be topless or naked at any point? -are we going to see the ripped, godlike body oiled or at least sweaty? -how many other ripped, godlike bodies will the film contain?

I love that he's already kind of forgotten how to do the Bane voice. It was a lot deeper and more gravely in TDKR, iirc, sort of like if Bale was mush-mouthed and British.

Dark Knight Rises came out almost six years ago, I'm not sure "already" applies (and there was a poo poo-ton of processing applied to the voice after no one could understand a word he was saying in that prologue in front of Ghost Protocol).

Remember Deadwood, that prestige TV show where the premise is that you can't understand anything that anyone is saying? And there was a character whose gimmick was "Chinese man who speaks English funny"

Mordiceius posted:But why would you or anyone buy a piece of garbage Funko pop? Some people like to adorn their personal spaces with decorations related to stuff they like. As figures go, a Funko Pop is waaaaay cheaper than anything Sideshow Collectibles makes and typically easier to find than NECA stuff, so for a lot of people they win by default. I sort of wish Good Smile would make Nendoroids of Western stuff, because they're basically "Funko Pops but not lovely," right down to being at impulse-buy prices (unless you try to buy an old one after it's out of production, in which case holy loving lord, but that's not unique to them) e: Funko Pops also target the "cheap impulse buy" market pretty hard; I've seen them near the checkout lines at Wal-Mart and Target pretty often.

I don't like Funkopops much because they have creepy beady eyes and look weird but anything that is fully masked/face covered/etc tends to look okay.

Their moon knight is quite decent.....I've heard (seriously if you look for pretty much any superhero on Amazon the Funko stuff is right there at the top) You have to like that precious moments style tho
