It's been a rough couple of days for comics on television. -- nm - David May 12, 19:19 7
- what else? -- nm - Remlik May 12, 19:48 6
  - Locke & Key was considered a slam dunk two months ago. Then, the numbers crunchers got involved. -- nm - David May 12, 19:49 5
    - And of course Human Target. -- nm - Ender May 12, 19:51 3
      - Ooh, good point. -- nm - David May 12, 19:53
      - If only they'd sent Ilsa Poochie back to her home planet. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 19:52 1
        
        I think their real problem was not rastafying her 10%. -- nm - Ender May 12, 20:02
    - oh yeah I forgot. Hopefully the pilot leaks I'd like to see it -- nm - Remlik May 12, 19:51
guess they saw the outfit. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 19:17 48
- the outfit they shot in looked goood -- nm - Remlik May 12, 19:37
- It's freaking Wonder Woman. That was about the least ridiculous outfit you could possibly expect. -- nm - Ender May 12, 19:18 46
  - Can anyone name a Wonder Woman bad guy? - David May 12, 19:20 44
    - I don't think I can name a villain for Green Hornet, Green Lantern, Thor, Captain America, Hellboy... -- nm - Dano May 12, 19:33 28
      - Captain America is the red skull. that's all I go -- nm - Bacon May 12, 19:43
      - wow. you must have had a crappy childhood :( -- nm - peglegpete May 12, 19:43
      - Independent of comics, you should be able to name one for Thor. -- nm - David May 12, 19:35 24
        
        I had never heard of Iron Man outside of the song before the movie and couldn't name a Spider Man villain either. -- nm - Dano May 12, 19:52 19
        
        I think most people would come up with Green Goblin for Spider-Man. -- nm - David May 12, 19:54 7
        
        I could come up with Green Goblin soley because I watched the Spiderman animated cartoon. - ralph wiggum May 12, 19:56
        
        I always think of the Rhino, because even as a kid he struck as lame. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 19:55 5
        
        I'm not familiar with him, but I also think I get the idea just from the name. - David May 12, 19:56 4
        
        He's basically The Juggernaut with a horn. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 19:57 3
        
        I strongly suspect the early days of comic books required a lot of trips to the zoo. -- nm - David May 12, 20:02 2
        
        one trick comic artists do is to draw regular plants really huge, and you have an alien world/landscape -- nm - peglegpete May 12, 20:07 1
        
        I love it when you mention this sort of thing. It is fascinating to me. -- nm - David May 12, 20:08
        
        Really? Didn't they run the cartoon on any channels you had? -- nm - Reagen May 12, 19:53 10
        
        I guess I knew the Justice League but that's about it. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Wonder Twins. -- nm - Dano May 12, 19:56 9
        
        Other than Lex Luthor and The Joker, do you remember any enemies for the Justice League? -- nm - David May 12, 19:57 8
        
        I knew a bunch for Batman from the Adam West show. I think I only knew Luthor for Superman. -- nm - Dano May 12, 19:59 6
        
        So, you know as little about comic book villains as Pete does about Green Lantern opening weekends. -- nm - David May 12, 20:00 5
        
        keep mocking, watch xmen do thor numbers -- nm - Remlik on the nook May 12, 20:10 3
        
        X-Men is a disappointment if it only does Thor numbers. - David May 12, 20:12
        
        actually that sounds about right. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 20:10 1
        
        i think xmen does 50 plus actually, -- nm - Remlik on the nook May 12, 20:12
        
        Which is why comic book movies don't generally land on my anticipated list. -- nm - Dano May 12, 20:02
        
        Mixlpliktzk! -- nm - Roger More May 12, 19:58
        
        Also, was Green Hornet a comic book to start? -- nm - David May 12, 19:44 1
        
        Answering my own question, it was a radio show first back in the 30s. -- nm - David May 12, 19:45
        
        BBJ! nm - ralph wiggum May 12, 19:37 1
        
        Exactly! -- nm - David May 12, 19:40
      - Wait, are you trying to prove his point or dispute it? -- nm - Ender May 12, 19:34
    - So that's what the problem was with the Flash? - JD May 12, 19:25 3
      - The only reason I know a Flash villain is because of my cats. - Ender May 12, 19:38 1
        
        Mirror Master isn't a very good name for a cat. -- nm - David May 12, 19:40
      - When Kim went through her comics phase a couple of years ago, the cadre of villains who hate Flash ganged up and killed him. - David May 12, 19:28
    - Cheetah -- nm - peglegpete May 12, 19:23 2
      - You and Pete don't count. Beaker doesn't either since he's the geekiest non-pro here. -- nm - David May 12, 19:24 1
        
        FYI, it took me 5 minutes to think of her. WW's villians are pretty lame & nondescript :) -- nm - peglegpete May 12, 19:27
    - Doctor Octipussy -- nm - Bacon May 12, 19:22
    - nazis - lord tubbington May 12, 19:22 6
      - The original comic was S&M. The dude who wrote it lived with two women, one of whom was a self-described lesbian sex slave. - David May 12, 19:23 4
        
        didn't he also creat the Lie Detector or something? -- nm - Remlik May 12, 19:38 1
        
        Yes although his son indicated later that it was his mother who really did all the early work. -- nm - David May 12, 19:40
        
        Tell me more -- nm - Bacon May 12, 19:27
        
        and if I remember right, she is the only major character still owned by the family & not DC -- nm - peglegpete May 12, 19:26
      - or Koba? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 12, 19:23
  - bullshit. a good designer could make it look modern and cool. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 19:19
maybe there is a god -- nm - lord tubbington May 12, 19:14
too much cleavage? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 12, 19:14
