The Incredible Hulk 1982 - Miraculous Clothes



Miracle clothes - They rip and tear when Bruce Banner changes into Hulk until he's wearing nothing but ragged purple pants. When he changes back to Dr. Banner, the clothes are whole again. Miraculous! Imagine never having to lose buttons, replace holey clothes or repair broken seams. Oh, except for the occassional lab coat that goes missing after he returns to weak Banner mode.

Idiot Talbot - Sure, he knows martial arts, NOT. Could he have called Betty any louder to alert the enemy to their presence? Watch he swiftly he flees. No wonder the men called him Noodlehead Ned. Why hasn't he gottem demoted yet?

That three star nightgown - Do those nightgowns come standard for army generals?

Spider-Man 1967 - Ouches and ughs

  • You can tell a villian by his color - Starting in the second season, the villians literally have green skin. No one bothered asking if they were OK or even space aliens. Maybe no one cared or they were too afraid. Or maybe the 60's were a happy time full of love and equality for people of all colors, even possible aliens from outer space! But shouldn't they have cared then? Hey, dude, you gonna puke? You well enough to rob a bank/destroy the city/conquer the world?

  • Spidey needs a chiropractor - If you watch him run toward you or across the screen or anywhere really, you'd see that the poor guy moves kind of funny. And I don't mean like a spider, or a human spider or anything that should be remotely natural-ish. It's really painful to watch. The same thing goes for his walking, crawling, sneaking, some web swinging... Heck, his smoothest move is the stripper pole spin. Wonder why that is?

  • Recycled creatures everywhere! - Or maybe every villian/nasty environment gets their monsters from the same rental place? Spidey finds the same creatures on a far off island, deep within the Earth and even in other dimensions. Yet everytime he seems surprised and has to figure out how to fight them all over again.

  • The wonders of webbing - He can weave airtight ship sails  but his parachutes let through more than fishnet stockings. I guess he hasn't yet learned to webzip to bypass that endless scurrying. Then again, that scurrying - and endless swinging - sure helped them waste a lot of time/save money on animation.

  • Paging Daredevil - Could have sworn I saw the guy all in red standing on a dark nighttime rooftop. Oh, my bad, that was Spidey!

  • Ladies love a nerd! - For a hopeless socially-challenged, perpetually late, plans-cancelling nerd, this Peter sures attracts a lot of ladies.

  • Mysterio unfishbowled! - Since when has Mysterio ever appeared in his villain costume sans fishbowl head? Apparently here!

  • They really phoned it in towards the end of the series with lame stories using badly recut footage from previous episodes. Thank goodness it finally ended.

Captain America 1966 Cartoon - All those who oppose his shield must yield

  • Why, Bucky, of course you can be my sidekick! Never mind that you're just the teen mascot
    Are those micro-shorts?
    and not a soldier. I'll train you so well, you won't need armor, a shield, superpowers or a weapon either. You won't die under my watch. Oh, whoops, you did.
  • Red Skull's delusional! Then again, what would you expect from someone willing to bake in a hideous head-encompassing mask and gloves 24/7? He actually thought that he and Cap were alike, that Cap would sympathize with his story of how he was plucked from obscurity to become a fearsome figurehead (then disposed of his puppeteer leader). And how did he think crushing the weak and helpless would give him great power? Presumably, they're weak and helpless because they have no power to take.
    Not a happy camper

  • He's athletic! Just check out those cartwheels! No one else could make it look so easy, like he doesn't even really have to use his hands or feet!
  • That's one sharp shield! "All those who oppose his shield must yield." Even if the opposition is his own parachute. He accidentally sliced the strings with it and went plummeting.
  • Is it just me? The prisoner escaping to cause so much trouble in one episode wasn't even restrained! They sat him in the back of an open air truck with no handcuffs or guards, or at least no way to keep him from literally falling off the truck. And expected him to be a good  little boy and stay.
  • That A wasn't sewn on or woven into his mask? He removed
    Horns of plenty?

    and replaced it as easily as a velcro patch or magnet to put some device behind it.How doesn't it fall off in the heat of battle?
  • After they brought him out of frozen death and he became the leader, all of the other headlining members of the Avengers were mysteriously always busy or away. He had to work with the B team. Wow, even  Wolverine's pointy do has nothing on Quicksilver's hair!
