The New Adventures of Superman 1966 part 1

Superman takes people into space without helmets! Even as Superboy he had better sense than that. His invincibility does not extend that far past his skin-tight costume.

On a similar note, doesn't he ever care if creatures will even be able to survive on the alien planet where he drops them off? See The Prehistoric Pterodactyls and Superman Meets His Match.

Up up and away! Down! Away!  Up for up. Away for forward. Down for down. Some combo thereof for everything else. Why does he bother saying these things? As Superboy, this might have been to let Krypto where know they should go. As Superman, he's just talking to himself. Or teaching kids about directions a la Sesame Street. For about two episodes in Season 2 he actually drops this, but then it's back


The Mermen of Emor - Why is it fun to watch sharks punt a ball with a guy inside? It might as well be a beach ball. Why not give the guy a fighting chance with weapons and all?

Merlin's Magic Marbles - Since when does the genius Luthor need magic? What does Merlin get out of this deal? Since when does a guy trustingly accept magic balls from another guy?

The Threat of the Thrutans - Next time try asking nicely. Honey and vinegar and all that.

All those episodes with Warlock - How many times could Superman have just snatched the wand before Warlock knew what hit him? Warlock is lame and crabby and an utter a-hole, his sister should have left him in that prison so she'd still have her own ruby.

The Deadly Icebergs - Wouldn't it have been easier for Superman to destroy the icebergs first and eliminate the threat?

The Men from APE - APE (Allied Perpetrators of Evil). When I first heard this, it sounded like Alive Perpetrators of Evil. Actually it still does. Of course that would have been awfully stupid as in are there Dead Perpetrators of Evil?

Help, I've Been Graffitied, Please Fine Me?

Trying to find any information on the Philadelphia Community Life Improvement Program (CLIP), I visited their website. They say they do graffiti removal. Considering how they treat me all the time for "long" grass and litter, I'm guessing if my place were graffitied, the process would go like this:

1) Punks - probably put up to it by Nasty Neighbor - graffiti my place with discriminatory slurs while I'm out running errands.

2) Nasty Neighbor - who hates me for no reason and keeps messing with me even though I've done nothing to him, not even in payback - informs CLIP that there's graffiti on my house and it's an "eyesore" for him.

3) CLIP "officer" comes out, takes a picture, writes up a ticket with a large fine against me even though I'm the victim here. Most especially because there's no video cameras on my property to prove that punks did it instead of me. Since, of course, I'd graffiti my own property with slurs against myself.

4) I come home to find a double bonus of graffitied slurs and a large fine. The ticket informs me that if I don't clean up the graffiti in two days, they'll send a crew to do it and charge me an excessive amount for the privilege.

5) I spend time I don't have cleaning the graffiti and money I don't have paying the large fine.

6) Another time while I'm out running errands, crew arrives at my house to clean up now nonexistent graffiti.

7) I receive an exorbitant bill in the mail for graffiti cleanup "service".

What a load of bull Philadelphia CLIP is.

Fantastic Four: Mr. Not So Fantastic

Fantastic Four: The Complete 1994-95 Animated Television Series

How many wives would name their husbands Mr. Fantastic? Especially with men who completely ignore them?
Susam Storm (to test if he's listening): "I'm going to go drown myself."
Reed Richards (obviously not?): "That's nice, dear."

Dr. Doom looking happy and blushing? Oh, the horror! Then again Sue is a beautiful woman, not that her man Reed notices. Doom's slacking; those Doombots look like mini Sentinel knockoffs.

Prince Namor the Submariner also notices Sue's beauty and tries to lure he into becoming his queen. She halfway falls for it. Seriously? The guy has ridiculously un-aerodymnic ankle wings which couldn't possibly help him fly. Not to mention the Vulcan ears how he doesn't look - or have powers - remotely like any of his people, which is why some of them want to overthrow him. Oh, and he has the personality of an cranky ass.

That Human Torch - How did Johnny Storm's towel stay on as he did all that jumping and flipping around when controlled by the Mole Man? His serenade of the spoiled girl: *cringe.*

Mmm...tastes like chicken - Galactus looked like he was sucking chicken skin off the planets he consumed. Yummy?

Miscellaneous - If vibranium punches back when Thing punches it, how was hitting one specific spot supposed to help? Never realized the Watcher was quite such a large baby man. Pyschoman: bad Mongol look-alike?
