(World's Greatest) Super Friends Seasons 4 & 5

The World's Greatest Super Friends Season 4: 1979-1980

1 Rub Three Times for Disaster: If that title weren't enough... Superman would save everyone a lot of trouble by superspeed snatching stuff away from bad guys first and confronting them later. The bad guy worked so hard to get the lamp, why leave it behind in the end?



2 Lex Luthor Strikes Back: How many times can Lex Luthor, SUPerGENius, do something dumb to screw up the world, requiring the Super Friends to once again save it? Why does it take an hour for the molten metal to pour over Wonder Woman and Aquaman? Why is Aquaman holding his tits? Sun creatures that can melt fireproof material should laugh at water.

5 Universe of Evil: Nitrogen + heat vision + water = Kryptonic acid. Well, geez, if that's all it takes... Duh, always bring Kryptonite to fight an evil Superman. Would a really powerful villian try to talk you into something when they can force you?

6 Terror at 20,000 Fathoms: Nimoy needed three missiles for his plan but used one just for a demonstration to the United Nations. Did he decide he didn't want Africa, South America, or Antarctica? What's the point of a museum for one? Ejecting Robin, LOL!

7 The Super Friends Meet Frankenstein: The monster had done nothing but stand when his creator called him more powerful than imagined. Maybe his previous creations were too weak to do anything but lie there? Needing Robin to save the most powerful Super Friends? They're doomed! Getting the lousy remnants of their power to fight the superpowered monster who has the majority of their power? Robin's doomed!

8 The Planet of Oz: Aquaman to jellyfish: "Coat me in goo!" Jellyfish to Aquaman: "I don't know what kind of kink you're into, but OK." Wonder Woman lost her powers. Superman said he lost his too but managed to use them three separate times. Sigh, even Oz and powers manage to be chauvinistic.

Super Friends Season 5: 1980-81

1(A) Bigfoot: Seriously, ask for help instead of terrorizing the locals!

3(B) Rock and Roll Space Bandits: Cheesy wannabe 80's rock, about as far from hypnotic music as I've ever heard.

3(C) Elevator to Nowhere: Wow, dude, seriously. Just ask them to test out the time machine instead of tricking them into it. They like to help advance science. And they tested that other guy's time ma-. Ohhh, is that why you didn't want to ask? Or you could just buy a working time machine off one of the countless others who built machines that work.

4(C) The Incredible Crude Oil Monster: Aquaman using a net to contain oil? No one ever called him a mental giant. It's just all about his vaunted aquatic telepathy.
