  1. Ooh oh, wait, dream picks that might possibly be out of reach: Swat Kats and Freakazoid. Because honestly, this is still kinda pretty badass.
  2. Oh no, what ever will the kids do without more Teen Titans Go and Gumball? Won't somebody think of the children etc etc. These are literally kids' shows. What a ridiculous argument. As for what else they need.. I wanna say K.N.D. But it did sorta kinda have an overall story to it in the end.. The only other big-enough consideration might be Cow and Chicken, but I'm not sure that ever had enough draw to be justified. Like a worse version of Rocko's Modern Life or Ren and Stimpy. After that you kinda start dipping into later generation shows. Some would be good picks, but may not necessarily fit the vibe/theme. Maybe Foster's. Regular Show, Flapjack, Chowder would be top picks. There's probably some that might pine for Camp Lazlo or My Gym Partner's a Monkey, but kinda scraping the barrel at that point.
  3. It's rare to find a song/style and just be left staring in wonder trying to figure out what you're even listening to..
  4. This is always what comes to mind when I hear I Think I Can. That moment he stops, and the chorus into the solo, the release of Atomsk.
  5. Wait... are they seriously operating on the assumption that there's only one thrown petrifying weapon?
  6. The helmet, a Green Lantern ring, Hawkman's mace, a Mister Terrific T-sphere, and probably a dozen or more I didn't notice or couldn't identify.
  7. I have 100% tuned out and not watched any of this batch of filler. Kinda gonna be an adjustment getting back to watching this again.. So much piling up in the "to watch" list...
  8. I also caught back in Marquis de Carabas that Mamimi called Naota "almost as cute as Doraemon" which is a bit more timeless, as references go, maybe.
  9. Y'know, that never really registered with me before either. I mean, in general, sorta, yeah. But the armband and everything.. Also never really noticed how suggestiveNinamori is with that popsicle..
  10. I see no problems with Mxy's design, personally, but I have no great opinions/attachments to the character. Going full chaos god mode tho, he did have a proper moment of terrifying and sinister. Overall, I enjoyed it. Good way to set itself apart from usual stories, establishing we're off on (yet another) alternate dimension Earth. Dropped probably a couple dozen DC references. Set itself up as a little bit bigger than the otherwise simple day-in-the-life of learning-his-powers Superman. Maybe a bit of a distraction from Cadmus, but that's probably a good thing.
  11. Hmmm... trying to think of where I already knew about that relationship. By the looks, I likely would've only seen/known him from Teen Titans and Young Justice as well. I guess is possible sometime back then I just happened to look them up to figure out who they were (and understand the difference between him and Grodd. >__>)
  12. Of course Ivo is still alive. He's fricken Professor Ivo. There's gotta be a 0% chance we won't see an AMAZO at some point. Although.. not sure how that'll work out against only Superman. Usually that's the sort of thing you kinda really need a whole Justice League to throw at it.
  13. That shot, of the sky changing color, that's exactly what always comes to mind when I hear Crazy Sunshine.
  14. Yeah, pretty sure this is genuinely established Mallah/Brain lore. Preeetttty sure they've been in some other animated stuff besides TTG. And yeah, naturally most would've assumed Grodd as the more recognizable gorilla. Kinda genuinely not enjoying Lois' reaction to the Superman reveal. "WHy diDN't yOU TEll mE EveryTHINg???!!!" Gee, Idunno, maybe because he's not human and that's not the sort of thing you just go blabbing to everyone?
  15. I shared in the other thread, but, well, since you linked the original, I gotta again share the mashup
  16. He's been listed in the credits, and the suit from this episode was a fair giveaway. General Wade Eiling's lore is also usually connected to Captain Atom, and has the same general motivation as Waller an the rest of the government getting involved in these things: "We want a military-controlled super-weapon just in case we need to fight Superman/heroes."
  17. Agent Slade Wilson. aka Deathstroke. The general is The General. I only really know the JLU version myself, tbh.
  18. For a moment I wondered why they didn't have Tom announcing they made an oops and why they were repeating this episode.. Then I remembered, everyone's on strike.
  19. Only credited as "The General," but I called it. Slade/Deathstroke felt pretty on-point here as well. And Waller being ruthless? Timeless.
  20. Found a fun little series of articles examining the themes and symbolism of FLCL episode by episode. https://ap2hyc.com/2017/03/symbolism-flcl-1x01-fooly-cooly/ They don't seem to link to each other, so might have to just search FLCL on the site for further reading. Thing I learned: When Canti eats Naota, he displays the kanji for "adult."
  21. Despite having the soundtracks, there's still something special about hearing the songs in context. And yeah. Hybrid Rainbow always evokes that image of Canti in the air with the crows.
  22. But he somehow remembers what he was called as a baby.
