Everyone plays it completely straight too. There isn't a single wink or nudge in sight. They were real comedy pros.

That's what threw me off for the show. I'd see clips and think "oh, they just picked the one bit that's weird." It wasn't until I saw a full episode that I realized they were in on the joke and went full ham the whole time.

I think a big part of me being such a humour-driven idiot is the fact that I grew up watching Batman '66, Get Smart and Rocky & Bullwinkle and didn't realize any of them were supposed to be silly comedies until much later.

I watched a lot of Britcoms on PBS, things like Are You Being Served and Waiting for God. The immersion in deadpan snark prepared me well for the internet.

Now that web comic is funny. And maybe a little too real. Is it the same person?

Yeah. She's been doing the comic for ages (I think it's pretty much done now except for the occasional spark of inspiration) and the quality's varied depending on her free time. Waiting behind a counter at a museum vs sketching on the lunch break or just some idea she scrawled out. King Baby was the long-effort actual drawing job.

Honestly I'm surprised he doesn't talk about the scholarship surrounding There and Back Again more at the beginning of LotR.

Written by a self-admitted nobody of a hobbit who somehow manages to be integral at every point of the journey? Even if it didn't make the elves out to be petty villains, clearly an attempt to garner attention as this tale contradicts their history of events that predates this publication by a good fifty years, Baggins can hardly be considered an unbiased source.

Samuringa posted:

I haven't read it yet but the one thing that gets almost universal praise in Mistborn is how Sanderson designs the way magic works.

Less "how it works" and more "how you can use it." Sanderson's books tend to treat magic as a science, and if something seems to break the rules the reason is likely to be "we didn't understand the rules" in a similar way to how basic physics laws work fine until you encounter something where they don't. Overall it lets him use magic much more openly in his stories to solve/create problems without it feeling like cheating, but opinions will, of course, vary on the overall effect (some folks really don't like there being things magic can't do.)

On the plus side, Aquaman got a power boost. Or is "Ha ha, talking to fish is literally the worst power" not actually applicable anymore? I admit I don't know anything about Aquaman since he grew the beard.

From the JLU series his superpower is being metal as gently caress.

And at least in the young justice cartoon, he explains that Miss Martian, while not nearly as adept at the physical aspects of her powers, was the strongest psionic of any Martian he had ever met, including himself.

I assumed the reason for that was because Jonn was only comparing to green martians.

The Question IRL posted:

I always loved the Robert Bruce Banner thing.
Because my dad always goes by his middle name instead of his first name (the nurse talking to his parents got confused and recorded the wrong name first so legal his middle name ended up as his first name.)

So since I discovered that Bruce Banner does the same thing it let's me imagine my dad as the Hulk.

A friend of mine goes by his middle name with first initial, J Jonah Jameson style. Gets junk mail addressed to J all the time.

I think it's part generational, part how bad your first name is.

One of the very best things Homecoming did--and it did a whole hell of a lot-- was finally leaning into the joke that without buildings a Spider-Hero has to jog on the ground like a schmuck.

Half the scenes in that movie could have been accompanied by a horn going "bwah-bwah". It was pretty wonderful.

I spent a shameful amount of time wondering what the hell "Deflator Mouse" was supposed to mean as a character name.

I did the same for The Tick cartoon. Never parsed it right until I saw it written down (which is how parsing errors tend to go).

I think some of MAD's best work was when it was putting the boots to advertising and marketing techniques. I can't be the only kid who grew up learning to "read" ads critically in large part thanks to MAD.

I hadn't thought about it, but yeah. I didn't get MAD as a subscription, it tended to be something I'd flip through at the store while my mom was shopping (man, reading those without buying them? Little past-me twerp.) And yeah, the cynical advertising mindset has stuck.

I really appreciate the workmanship that he not only has a tiny hatch for his straw, but also a second one to show people his high-explosive helmet padding. This means that at the design stage someone must have said 'Ok hold up, no one is just going to believe that we packed the helmet with explosives, we had better include a little sliding door so we can show it off'.

I wonder if he keeps several straws, or if he's forced to go and rinse the one out so he doesn't get stale coffee in his smoothies.

Once you're on your third or so "Cobra Commander" you learn to anticipate these things.
