    A character on The Simpsons made the case that animation is a field built on plagiarism. I think the same thing could be said for comic books and video games, as well.

    Just ask, and I could provide examples for both.

    The fact that there’s a genre called “roguelike” and there used to be a genre called “Doom clone” demonstrates how ingrained borrowing and imitation are to video games.

    I read how Mary Jane Watson was inspired by Ann-Margaret in Bye Bye Birdie, because Amazing Spider-Man artist John Romita (Sr.) had seen that movie and wanted to draw her.

    IIRC, early space shooters had an even earlier precedent with the first two arcade video games: Computer Space and Galaxy Game (both 1971), which were themselves inspired by Spacewar! (1962).

    Recently saw some Black Adam movie Funko Pops at my local Wal-Mart. Doesn't this movie come out until October?

    The fact I've forgotten my high school locker combination, but still remember that Elroy found Orbitty when his class went on a field trip to the Moon (Take THAT, Harvey Birdman!) in the 1980s episodes of The Jetsons, says a lot about me.

    That SpongeBob "I don't need it I don't need it I definitely don't need it I NEED IT!" meme sums me up so well.

    "Why does The Flash need a car, when he can already run at super-speed?", I always say when I'm in the Hot Wheels section of Wal-Mart or whatever and see a Flash car that's painted red with the lightning-bolt logo on the roof.

    I wonder if Mattel is going to make an animated Masters of the Universe project that includes the Sun Man and the Rulers of the Sun characters? It would be....interesting to see Pighead and Skeletor team up to fight their respective heroes.

    RIP Neal Adams. His opinions on geology were....questionable, but he was a great superhero comics artist, darn it!

    More The Batman movie merchandise sightings, this time it's Mattel's Hot Wheels 1:50 scale Bat-cycle and Batmobile at WalMart.

    Yesterday at my local Meijer store, I saw LEGO sets for The Batman movie. I guess merch is starting to hit the shelves.

    They were at my Barnes and Noble. I wasn't really paying attention, but the movie's almost here, huh?

    Today at Wal-Mart, I saw some large Funko Pops of a Zombie Black Panther. All I could think was, "Isn't this a bit insensitive to the family and friends of Chadwick Boseman?". I'm not offended, just pointing this out.

    Was this funko pop made before or after Chadwick Boseman's death?

    It was a part of the current Marvel Zombies assortment, so maybe before?

    Discovered HBO Max has the original Super Friends cartoons among their DC stuff. Watched an episode I don't think I've seen since I was little, with an Arabian Nights-in outer space type civilization, with a bad guy who's like Jafar from Aladdin plotting to use a genie's magic lamp to destroy the Super Friends.

    I've watched "Challenge of the Superfriends" (or really, the whole 1978 to 1981 era of Superfriends) more than once in my life, including just a few years back on DVD. But I recently sat down and watched the 1st episode of the 1972 season of Superfriends (the first season) on HBO Max. And man, that was rough. Still, I plan on eventually going through and watching the whole series again on HBO Max.

    Yeah, I plan on skipping the Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog eps on my watch-though. No wonder they were ditched for the Wonder Twins.

    They arrested Chris Chan?

    Good.

    It's like I said in my post - they should've jailed his butt when he wasn't a crossdresser - like when he vandalized all those Walmarts and Targets or whatever. Or that Game Place he was rightfully banned from for disturbing the customers of it, oh so long ago.
    No one wants to acknowledge it, but that's when he should've really faced some prison time, honestly!

    Today at amy local Dollar Tree store that has been open a couple months, I noticed in the toy section all the little Disney/Pixar figures have been barely picked over, while stuff like Jurassic World dinosaurs were not to be found. I don't know what it says about Disney/Pixar's popularity with the kids.

    Me riffing the Charlie Brown Christmas Special on PBS Kids this evening:

    Lucy: "Go get a aluminum Christmas tree Charlie Brown, one that's pink!"

    Me: "Eww, God no!".

Watched Toy Story 5 today. It felt like another awesome escapade for the characters, while also they taught an important lesson: it's ok to be different, especially if you still like to play with toys. Lily turned from an antagonist to a hero of the movie, because of realising exactly that.

Going offline until further notice. David Ellison has won. I’m seeking therapy permanently rather than quitting life. Take care everyone. Once I leave the world into the void, I hope my life is better.
