Yeah. I remember Regular Show doing nerd 80s poo poo and Steven Universe doing straight homage stuff and being way :swoon: because it was used in a good way and not just slapped on.

I still think about Garnet's punch duel when they had to confront Lapis for the first time. Those always get me hype.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
So, is it even a fan theory or just text that all this tech is stolen Kryptonian tech? in My Adventures With Superman?

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
I've been rewatching Centaurworld and I like the little bits of foreshadowing in the final episode of season 1, like the Mural in the palace where the Nowhere King sets up shop. The series previously established that the Woman painted the mural in Centaurworld, and the one in the palace is in the same style. In the second season we see that she used to be some sort of princess and that palace was her home. In the mural above the throne, it shows her in love with someone. While she ended up marrying the General, it's clear the mural predates that because it shows her and the Elktaur, completely whole. Not separated, and not without his horns. She was in love with him right from the start, and imagined and longed for a future with him, but his self-hatred ruined that seed before it could germinate. It's a lovely bit of tragic foreshadowing.

Back to MAWS, I’m glad Lois found out about Clark sooner rather than later (or not at all as I believe was the case in STAS), looking forward to seeing where things go from here

They wanted to have Lois find out about Superman back in Justice League Unlimited but DC vetoed it. I'm glad they get to do it in this show, I'm really excited to see the dynamics of all the characters.

Enjoyed this episode though I do hope that Supes will eventually fight some of his non tech-based opponents, or at least alien tech-based enemies like Brainiac. It works as a connection between all the villains for the sake of the overall plot but I wouldn't mind Lobo crashing the party for fun.

Brainiac already has a confirmed VA (as do Mr. Mxyzptlk, Lana, and Supergirl) so he’s definitely showing up at some point

I assume they're going heavy on the human tech villains to tie them all together for this first arc. Ivo, Cadmus, and street rogues like Intergang and Livewire all seem to be connected, even if it's not clear whether we're looking at a single harmonious operation or a corporate/state power struggle.

Yeah but the latter only lasts for like two to three episodes at the start so it’s kinda whatever.

Stuff like Mint Mobile or the gin is a cycle he's got worked out where he buys something, does it up a bit, uses his Star Power to skyrocket its profile and advertise the hell out of it, dramatically increase the value, and then sell it for a huge profit. Stuff like Wrexham and presumably weird old cartoons seem to just be him doing passion projects because he can? Which, screw it, if I had his money and profile I'd resurrect my favourite kid shows too.

I'd buy the rights to old British cartoon Captain Zed and the Zee Zone and try to get the 10 lost episodes restored at least. There are only 10 episodes on a youtube playlist that are legible and the others are practically lost, but of those 10 episodes there is consistent characterisation, imaginative plots and even expanding lore that recontextualises the dream patrol by showing it in a greater context.

Over the Garden Wall is going away, and that's especially bad news because so far HBO Max has not actually shopped most of their removed kids shows anywhere else

Well at least it’s not an Infinity Train situation where even the show’s creator admitted the only way to watch it now was through piracy

On another note, any further word lately on that Dead End Paranormal Park comic that was supposed to wrap up the story?

Also how’s that Danny Phantom comic that came out recently?
