I always found Teen Titans Go to be hilarious but sometimes I wonder about how funny children will find Robin and Beast Boy talking about the gold standard and Nixon.

From the episodes I've seen, I feel like they at least attempt to strike a balance, if not within the episode itself, then in general between different episodes (with regards with jokes aimed at different audiences.)

Most people know how great the second Iron Man animated opening theme was, but who remembers how the first was as bad as the second was good? (Also, is there anything more 90s than the fact that his team on that show was loving Force Works?) While I was looking for that, I had a bit of a nostalgic moment when I found the intro for another cartoon I remember airing as part of a block with reruns of X-Men '92 and the Marvel Action Hour. Who else remembers the animated version of Diabolik?

I am actually unfamiliar with Diabolik, I read Grendel and was intrigued by the Euro-Crime stuff it was inspired by, like Fantomas and Diabolik, and I found the first episode of the show on Youtube or something. Wish Netflix hadn't removed the Fantomas serials... Is that Iron Man intro (the bad one) missing sounds or...? It sounds real anaemic, like it's missing some background drums or something.

Wheat Loaf posted:I'm a petty wee bastard sometimes, so I enjoy the TTG episode where they get serious partly on its own merits (I do think it's funny as a parody of the Marv Wolfman comics) and partly because of how much it upsets people. Loonatics was pretty offensive to me on a visceral level but I just kinda shook my head, laughed at that one newgrounds cartoon, and moved on with my life.

I'm not hugely familiar with Diabolik either but it's possibly the most successful comic series created by two women. quote:Is that Iron Man intro (the bad one) missing sounds or...?

The other action cartoon I remember from that era - this one wasn't on Fox Kids, it ran on the Cartoon Network spin-off channel CNX - was Chris Colorado, which was about this soldier of fortune in a post-apocalyptic world. It may or may not hold up.

That first theme song sounds like it was done by a Yes cover band.

Didn't he also eventually acknowledge that the lie detector was a bullshit device? I feel like there is a story associated with him about someone hooking up a houseplant to a lie detector and getting responses that changed his position.

I think that was the scientology soul-o-meter where they hold soup cans that measure skin conductivity. Lie detectors are unreliable but are more complex than that and do generally measure how nervous you actually are.

Yeah, the thing that makes lie detectors bad isn't that they are fundamentally BS, it is that they can be beaten OR they can give false positives. Which is why they are not really officially known as lie detectors, because they don't detect lies, they detect physiological reactions. The problem is a terrified person can give a bad reading to a truthful answer.

Sold it to Hubbard at some authors party or something.

Skwirl posted:Who's the bumblebee and glitter hair? Bumblebee and Zatanna "The world may know them as Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Batgirl, but not-so-typical teenagers Diana, Kara and Barbara, alongside their Super Hero friends have much more to deal with than just protecting the citizens of Metropolis from some of the most sinister school-aged Super-Villains of the DC Universe. After all, being teens is tough enough, what with school, friends, family and the chaos that comes with managing a social life. But add super powers and a secret identity to the mix, and things can get a lot more complicated. Sure, gal pals Bumblebee, Zatanna and Green Lantern Jessica Cruz are always there to lend an ear, a shoulder to cry on, and a fist to punch with, but what happens when Diana and her favorite study buddy and fencing partner, Tatsu, can’t agree on how to dole out justice as Wonder Woman and Katana? Or when Barbara finds out her Gotham-Con bestie is teen-fiend Harley Quinn? Along with all their friends, foes and frenemies, this squad of super teens navigates the unique growing pains that come when you’re a teenager trying to fight the battles of the world and the battles of growing up at the same time." Probably not many people here's cup of tea, but I'm sure it'll be fun for young girls.

It was just a web series that did 5 minute shorts rather than a full on show on TV.

Every character looked awesome on the first show. I got my niece into it because her name is Kara and I explained to her that Supergirl's name is Kara. So she has all the play-sets and figures (except for Cheetah) and when she plays with them she calls Kara by her real name and not Supergirl. Funny as hell.

Listen I don't care how the rest of her design changes any Zatanna design without a top hat is automatically bad. I just think a magic superhero dressing like a stage magician is too great.

LOL. business hammocks posted:The "it's only moral that fictional characters should have their own agency" argument is my favorite insanely fallacious argument. I love it, especially when 99% of the time it comes from a dude defending the "rights" of a female character designed by another dude. Unrelated to comics, I "love" that Hideo Kojima jumped through hoops to make a female character that had to be basically naked because of a medical condition in MGS V. Coincidentally she was also very attractive.
