Thank you guys!!! I know I’m a little on the young side here, just turned 21 at the beginning of October. And now that I’m an ‘adult’ I have gotten into the most debilitating hobbies. Action figure and comic collecting. And mini figure painting. All because of this one darn show. It snowballed so hard and I wouldn’t have it any other way
You should see me and my obsession on extra lore side material. Stuff like Star Wars Legends and Odd Taxi sure makes me want to see tales from different perspectives set in otherwise familiar moments (a case in point, how the Death Star and Darth Plagueis novels influence the events of A New Hope and the Prequels respectively).
To "make the Earth move" is a euphemistic idiom for being a good sexual partner. I think about that every time someone mentions this character and he's getting mentioned a lot here.
They Are Certain Episodes Of Shows That Have Stuck With Me Over The Years. Batman Beyond Earth Mover & The Peacock Family From The X Files. Earth Mover Is One Of My Favourite Episodes. Keep Up The Good Work.
There's also a bunch of Courage the Cowardly Dog eps for me, especially the one about a masked woman. Can't believe I actually avoided that ep because of said mask, when I should have gone forward and seen its heartwarming end about a queer couple escaping an abusive dog boyfriend. Truly, another one of the titular Courage's finest hours!
Hey guys. Loved hearing your thoughts on Earth Mover. A truly delightfully pleasant episode with such heartwarming and and not at all disturbing imagery. Or did I get it backwards… I was a tad perplexed when you brought up the voice actor which led me to look it up, and yikes, that's a whole can of worms I don't plan to touch. So as for the current topic, I wasn't quite sure if you were specifically referring to the DCAU iterations of Superman and Batman or the characters in in the comics and everything overall, but generally in the comics I connect with Superman as a character a lot more than Batman. While not the only reason, big part of that is because during some of the hardest times in my life, it was reading Superman stories that really helped me get through it. In the context of the DCAU, Batman had a significantly larger screen time so there was more time for development, and while both DCAU Superman and Batman are incredible, its Batman had a bit of bigger impact. One of the many reasons Superman is so essential in the world of comics and pop culture is because he represents the goodness and hope within all of us. Superman is kind, compassionate, understanding, he is gentle, he is teachable and is not afraid to show emotion and affection. In a universe filled with heroes with emotional baggage, Superman is an emotionally healthy hero who while still wrestles with his own inner demons, he still doesn't let those demons define him and he represents the goodness within all of us. Superman is kind. He carries arguably the heaviest heart. Superman is the kind of person who while flying might see you having a bad day and would genuinely take an interest to chat with you and try to cheer you up. The most important trait he embodies is selflessness. Regardless of how he’s viewed, he will always put others before him. The whole world could hate him, but he will never turn his back on the world. Humanity is his first priority. Superman is the prime example of what a true superhero is and what all other heroes aspire to be. Another one of my favourite aspects about the character is the delightful camaraderie he shares with his supporting cast in the comics which I never really feel to the same extent with Batman. Sure, it's fun to see him talk about crime scenes with Gordon (back when he was Commissioner) and how Alfred helps him in his life (back when he was alive), but other than that I don't feel he shares any particularly special repertoire with anyone (I didn't mention Lucius because he isn't used frequently enough). And before you say it, I don't consider the Bat-Family to be supporting characters anymore and instead of more view them as leading characters who also operate alongside Batman, except Damian I guess. With Superman however, I'll never be tired of seeing the husband and wife dynamic of Clark and Lois, the Daily Planet staff, him being a father (although I fall in the camp of preferring Jon as kid) and most of all his eternal rivalry with Lex Luthor. And speaking of Lois, I'm so excited to see her as Superwoman again. Dan Mora's art just fills me with joy. And lastly, what I love about Superman is that despite everything he still the little kid raised in Kansas who just sees the best in people. Despite what Bill from Kill Bill might say, Clark Kent is not the disguise (I mean people need to remember he's the villain of the movie). Although similarly, I actually hate it when people keep saying "Oh Bruce Wayne is the disguise and Batman is who he truly is". For me it's stories like Darwyn Cooke's Batman Ego that solidify that he is ultimately Bruce Wayne to his core.
Hey Serum, if they were to do an Absolute Aquaman, what would you want it to be like? I actually came up with my own idea by creating a version of the character who maintains the core of the character while also taking away the royalty aspect of the character, instead having him act as a rebel. You don't have to read it if you don't want to, I don't mind. In the idea I came up with, the Trench ended up evolving differently than their main continuity counterpart, doing so in a way similarly to the Atlanteans and Xebelians, equipped with their own society and technology, with this version of Trench overthrowing and decimating Atlantis, its king "Charybdis" claiming the Trident of Neptune in the process, with an Atlantean woman escaping to the surface realm before being found during a storm by pirates and imprisoned, proceeding to give birth to Arthur on the ship and passing, with Arthur growing up on the ship, unaware of his Atlantean origins or abilities, and eventually becoming the crew's captain with this universe David Hyde (Black Manta) acting as his second in command. As a result of his upbringing, Arthur is much more impulsive and violent, being the type to go first into battle without a plan, with that being more David's strong suit. However, despite this, Arthur is still a charismatic natural born leader and still has a clear moral code and sense of justice, ordering the crew not to harm any attendants of ships they raid unless completely necessary, especially in regards to both woman and children. This all changes when Arthur and his crew raid an explorer ship and find valuable Atlantean artifacts, including a strange sword, recovered by the explorers and so, seeing an opportunity, Arthur decides to hold the explorer crew captive so he, David, and a few other members of their crew could use them, their ship, and the equipment to travel down into the ocean depths in pursuit of valuables. However, the crew is ambushed by nearby Trench soldiers but are ultimately saved by a member of the last true and hidden Atlantean colony, but not without a few members of the crew being killed and Arthur's diving suit being damaged (with this being how he learns he can breath underwater, and where his journey towards discovering his Atlantean origins begins), with Arthur learning about the current situation and, due to his sense of justice and the fact that the trench killed some of his men, Arthur agrees to help the colony with taking down the Trench by traversing to the kingdom of Xebel in order to gain an audience with the queen in hopes of forming an alliance to take down the Trench and Charybdis, the Atlanteans themselves having had little luck doing so in the past as a result of previous tensions between the Atlanteans and Xebelians. David gets his diving suit upgraded by the Atlanteans and agrees accompany Arthur on the journey to make sure he doesn't get himself killed, but also to seek revenge against the Trench for the deaths of his crewmates, with the two and a few others beginning their journey to Xebel to seek council with the queen so that they and what's left of the Atlanteans could unite to take down the Trench, with Arthur learning more of his Atlantean origins along the way, with us also learning that the sword Arthur found that I mentioned earlier (which will become his main weapon in the story instead of a trident) is also a powerful magical weapon, being the sword of the mythological hero Perseus, which I chose due to how the weapon had, in greek myth, been previously used to defy the will of Poseidon (Roman Name: Neptune), Perseus using it to save Princess Andromeda from the sea monster known as Cetus, who had been sent by Poseidon.
Okay this episode of Batman Beyond I also remember watching as a kid in 1999 getting pretty spooked out about, hard visuals of this guy who's trapped in the ground and how his daughter became an orphan but was adopted by his business partner who he fought with trying to kill him but it was all a big misunderstanding and it's something that to this day if I go to watch this episode and I can see there's a lot of soap opera drama I can get into. Forgive me as a kid I was watching oldies cartoons and they always make surprise you if like a body horror episode reliable whoa I didn't expect that in Saturday morning cartoon, like in Spider-Man 94 were in season 2 end of getting 6 alarms like that was freaky before it became spider monster that one always stick out to me it's like I wish they did that in the movies but they never did 😭 Even the venom episode in Spider-Man 94 also freak me out especially the first part where he gets to suit and he's having a weird dream of his OG costume fighting the symbiote in his dreams and he wakes up at that building looking at his reflection Halloween to me as a kid and even more so now when I go to re-watch it.. Play with Spider-Man I was mostly into the drama with Batman Beyond gave me Spider-Man Vibes so that's why I stuck with that show for as long as I could growing up and I will be watching today and I can appreciate it more but I kind of wish that Bruce 10 and then would have done a Spider-Man show, what we did get them from the Marvel side with Spider-Man Unlimited and it was interesting but it was short-lived for 13 minutes and that was always been like a kurio in my Spider-Man you know viewing history as a fan of that character because I really like the 94 virgin a lot more than I do like unlimited but it made a cool costume in the PlayStation 1 Spider-Man game an 2000. Mikey can hate me because I like the Marvel cartoons by X-Men and Spider-Man from the 90s but hey you know what I don't care what he thinks that stuff Friday's near and dear to me, I love that goes what got me into one to read comics in first place how long stuff like the max dose on MTV in Savage dragon which was on USA cartoon Express and Wildcats there was also on the USA cartoon Express in the 90s go ahead and nostalgia from 90's cartoons. play I enjoyed Batman animated series and Batman Beyond but the Marvel stuff always kept my attention the most stuff like Silver surfer and Hardy Mitch is Spider-Man 94 even that shows like my favorite watch today despite all the Yankee animation and sometimes I'll do later season reuse a lot of action shots and whatnot and X-Men I like because I was into the soap opera so that's what kept me watching those continues continuously and I enjoyed the continued to another blood into another Where are Batman it didn't look like it had much continuity so that's why I watch it but it almost seems like every episode was a standalone and didn't really build up to anything big my first season Arc or anything and stuff like Justice League came around and then I got more invested in the you know sandwich World episodes would lead to like for a big finale and stuff like Teen Titans 2003 but also dad like bits of continuity in it. Sorry about the typos by the way I'm going through eye surgery right now and I'm on a lot of meds so forgive my last post that I did where I rambled a little bit I just was on a lot of meds to go to pain that I'm going through will get my eyes worked on. And Luke I will check out world's finest a lot of my friends are telling me to check out that book because I've been staying away from Reading DC because of the new 52 because I just turned me off I want to read those, cuz I'm just a tone and how dark they were and all this stuff and Joker ripping his face off and stuff it's just something to just made me go I'm not I'm not fooling with DC and I just and I was mostly on the MCU reading kick by the way when stuff I Miss Marvel and Captain Marvel and Doctor strange with all making me really excited and want to read Marvel again, where was DC was always hard for me to find something good besides the ongoing Harley Quinn comic and maybe Doom Patrol when that was good by Gerard Way but other than that I didn't venture to want to read Batman Superman and Wonder Woman because I didn't like how they were done in the movies at a time in the dceu. does the kid in the 90s I read more more than I did DC and only DC books I was able to get in my hands all was static shock when I was done by milestone I don't really like a few issues of that and then there was still by Louis Tomlinson and John bogdanoff and you know the Superman titles after he had died and came back but I didn't really read any 90s Batman much maybe except for like some random office and also the Batman adventures Comics but that's about as far as I went I didn't really read Batman heavy to about 2003 when hush was a thing with Jim Lee and Loeb on the title and I was reading it and I dropped off up until about 1:00 and got under title and it really support mattress and wanted to read Batman again something that look like Batman animated series but in Maine continuity. Thank you for being patient and read my my letter and I hope you all get over covid real soon and hope you all start to feel better me I'm on the road to recovery myself with his eye surgery hopefully after this I'll be back to my old self maybe a little bit happier because there's a lot of new Comics I want to read but I want to make sure I get my eyes to be able to see them so yeah.forgive me for being critical of DC stuff outside of comics and even the comics because I just feel like I like more because I can watch and read their stuff and feel like well hey this stuff is making me excited and want to go read the next thing and the next thing just based off the tone and how it does it take a social seriously or DC it feels like a mixed bag every time I go to try to breed your comics. Anyways Luke and Mary take care of yourselves maybe I'm going to get better I'll try to be less negative.
Melodrama done decently, the ep. Would like to see the animated Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man do the spider-monster thing again. It just doesn't work well with live action in mind. I admit, TAS sure nailed its Venom. Makes sense why Sam Raimi adapted it in his otherwise butchered third film (although the Editor's Cut feels good). Ah, wish the PS1 Neversoft game gets a polished remaster, alongside the first two Sam Raimi games, Web of Shadows, and Shattered Dimensions. Would be schway to add it on my PC gaming library if it gets ported there. What's Friday again? Anyhow, never read those comics even past childhood. Hmm, what do you think of plotline-y shows like ReBoot, Beast Wars: Transformers, Gargoyles, Exo-Squad, Mighty Max, and Cybersix? Typos are forgiven. 🖖, A1ml, or perhaps Julia?
@@michaelandreipalon359 Just call me Julia and I have I mean I like shows like Facebook and stuff but I never watched gargoyles I've watched reboot and I like that one of watch mighty Max I mean don't show that I did watch and I enjoyed it is wished it mighty Max would have at least two or three more seasons in the 90s but it doesn't like a 26 episode of fairy so I had to enjoy what they made it
@@michaelandreipalon359 I really do have a lot of nostalgia for the PS1 Spider-Man game I never played the two random games though except for the Game Boy advanced version as well as far as it went with those but I have no job for that series of movies to preem see you But I like the storyline stuff of the 94 Spider-Man animated series because I felt like reading the comics which at the time I only read like a scatter shop, turn the clone saga so that was like my little introduction way back when it was only way later than 2005 wouldn't go read the original Stanley John romita stuff to show also borrowed an adaptive story lines from and I like the Animated Series version of morbius because it's suckers on his hands and now it's kind of a weird little cool concept. But I like how to show did their version of blade did the virgin of the Crossovers with X-Men and Doctor strange and a lot of the Marvel characters even in their more classic or 90s version that time it's a show I'm obsessed over as a kid and I would like to see a revival of like you did X-Men 97 Color Run like how it was plot lines wentbut that's just me I mean I mean I mean that's what I meant to more than just episodic story turn on the light linear's serialized storytelling in my animated fiction as much as I like in my comments I like following a character from point A to point B and see where they start and where I am. But we're watching beast wars and Transformer step didn't really get mailed excited to watch further Transformer stuff cuz I liked it then just when they were like animals and then turned into people but everything beyond that I just didn't have any interest for. Put gargoyles I didn't watch a whole lot of only like a couple episodes of mostly watching DuckTales and that was most of my thing at the time that in goof troop.
@@michaelandreipalon359 I mean for as far as the DCA you stuff go on when he got into her when the store all connected yet you have your two parties in your one-offs but I like to see how to progression goes from one episode to the next that's why I got the Superman animated series cuz I felt more like that and Batman Beyond cuz I felt like they were Batman the Animated Series barely felt like everything was together in the same world but I do like Superman show I was excited that the idea of like a future version of the Justice League and that's kind of what else you want me to make me want to get into those Comics later on cuz I was a bit of a DC phase in 2015 but when stuff started to get dark around infinite Crisis and identity crisis I tapped out a little bit and I only really got back into it around when Grant Morrison with Ryan but even after they run with Oliver and then I just didn't bother reading DC for a long time ago
@@michaelandreipalon359 in a way I just wish that the comics I read kind of match more so the shows I watched but that's just me maybe a weird like that but I like that but as soon as you a little bit or at least it was always like to have lost episodes of what you get on the page and stuff is all the show like they both matter as possible to the one doing independently of of the other. Which 50 seater 12 I'm always in and out of reading their stuff simplify like a specific character like black Wonder Woman or the Teen Titans or Superman depending if he's pretty well or Batman where if he wasn't even more like the 1970s 1980s version as opposed to being the grimdark 20152 version I know it sounds like I'm very picky about these characters and that's why I got into the CW shows because they feel like they all had a good time I didn't care how cheesy to work but I enjoyed it I enjoyed them over the movies.
Thank goodness you're here! Trying to get through this before The Penguin. We will see. 18:20. I know what you mean, and I know you meant it without any ill intent, but, as an adoptive parent, the phrase "real dad" always bothers me. It implies there is something lesser about adoptive families. Again, I know that is not how you intended it, and I know you will think about it when it comes up in the future. I have two sons, Sergei and Daniel. 8 years apart, Sergei, the older one, was adopted at 10 months old from Russia. Daniel was a late bio kid, I was 41 and the Mrs. was 40. The most irritating thing he does is when he gets in a serious argument with Srgei, he will go to he is the better, favorite, or "realer" son because he is NOT adopted. I have tried to let them sort their arguments out, which are rare, on their own, but that guarantees I will step in and shut that argument down. 24:30. Close, Mr. Sardonicus, was a William Castle (of House on Haunted Hill and 13 Ghosts fame) Title character found out his father had won the lottery but had been buried with the ticket. The image of his grinning father's corpse scared him so badly his face froze in a grin like his father. London after Midnight. There is no name for Lon's vampire character. In the credits, he is called The Man in the Beaver Hat. Hey the younger son I mentioned earlier wouldn't eat as a baby and was in the hospital from birth through his 3rd month and had a g-tube. Once he was old enough to actually eat, the g-tube was removed. It too was supposed to heal and did not, so we had to go back and have them stitch it closed. Hearing your chutzpah pronunciation makes me think of a video Daniel was watching today. As much as I mentioned him in this comment, he may think he is the favorite. Anyhow, it was some lore video about some video 6 the person was talking about the Greek witch from mythology Circe, but he pronounced it cerk. Your chutzpah pronunciation is not quite as jarring, but it is close. Love Ron Perlman, does the open narration on most of the Fallout games. So, replying to a comment I just saw and I imsgine you have recently read talking about how memorable the Peacock family in the X-Files was. That episode, Home, has stuck with me and ruined "Wonderful! Wonderful!" by Johnny Mathis. I can't hear that song and not immediately think of that episode. I feel awful. I wrote such a long comment when you had Covid. But I am so glad you enjoyed the haunt tale. So this story is an old one, way before I had kids. This is from when I was in college, and I think it was the first fall I was dating my future wife. The story doesn't involve her. So this would have been around the time BTAS came out (will tell Valentine's Day story about the wife and BTAS next Valentine's Day.) Anyhow, this was an old big farmhouse and was what haunted attractions used to be. An old building, little to no lights, no exit signs, likely a deathtrap if a fire broke out. Usually run by a community service group like Kiwanis or the Lions. The house was about half a kilometer off the road. You parked in the field across the road from the house and walked up the drive. Near the house was the ticket trailer, a trailer with coffee and hot chocolate, and some porta-potties. I'm not sure if they are called porta-loos or something else across the pond. Anyhow, we are in line. Suddenly, one of the actors comes out with a non running chain saw. He menaces the line for a moment, then walks over to the portapotty. He deftly starts the chainsaw with one pull and starts striking the porta-potty with it. Shari says she heard a scream, I don't recall that, just the saw and the banging. Maybe two seconds pass, and the woman that was in there slams open the door, tugging up her pants and takes off down the driveway. To the best of my knowledge, that lady has probably lapped the planet several times because she ran out of sight and I never saw her again.
At time of writing, not much *Chicken News* because I'm commenting this while the video is new instead of like 10 days old, not much time has passed to allow things to happen. This is a good thing; good to have a break from problems and drama. I thought Meibel had gone a couple days without laying eggs but turned out she has been laying secret eggs on a garden wall under the ivy (same place from which she knocked off that plant pot); trying once again to impress Wilma and Betti, Doris has been a treacherous scab and acted like a total dick to Meibel lately (even got brigged today - twice!) and maybe Meibel has been laying on the wall to get away from her. Maybe it's just to catch the sun as we've had lovely weather last couple days or so and it's a great sunny spot. Taken Betti off the meds I put her on to see if she'd worsen and she hasn't so I'll leave her off them. She had a but bit of grumpy aggression today but I think that's from seeing Doris being aggressive. I have managed to stop Betti pecking Meibel at bedtime. Instead of poking Betti and telling her off, I started resting my finger on her beak and telling her to stay calm and not peck her. 3 nights later didn't even need to do that, she just knows not to now. Wilma has been cheeky as usual, plucking feathers and after getting bollocked telling me she didn't do it when I just saw her do it. Also she ran into the house and tried to eat an elastic band *again* but got nowhere near it because I saw and stopped her. I think she thinks they're worms. *Edit to add:* Today I heard the distress call again (it doesn't always mean distress per say, but does always mean "daddy, come out here please quickly!") so I go out expecting to chase away some animal but instead I find Wilma pointing at one of Meibel's garden eggs. Wilma is smart enough to have figured out that I would want it and is loyal enough to me that she wants me to get what I want. Such a good girl and such a clever girl! Take that, sanctimonious vegan hippies who say I don't have my hens' consent to take and eat their eggs!
@@michaelandreipalon359 they're unfertilised so it's not like eating their offspring and much more like eating their periods. I had 2 chickens' periods today with toast for my lunch.
If it isn't too much like His Silicone Soul, maybe Luke could have an AI do some of his voice work when he has a sore throat. 😂 Get well soon, big guy!
Greeting Boys and Ghouls! Its time for spooktacular totally Schway!❤️ Spiriting away, on a Spooky Sun-day! Lets Play!🎃 ( Beware...i pulled a mini Big Mikey P Below! Its outta respect bro!)👇 *I definitely wanna get that coloring book you both keep teasing my eye with!😂 Those beautiful Illustrations are making me drool, which i wanna add to my ever growing art book collection , so i look forward to it and your review Luke!❤️ If its anything like your Batman Bootleg review, which i bought immediately after finishing that video, it'll be awesome!❤️🎃 * Speaking of that book, anytime a comic, art book, or any kind material made by an illustrator is collected in an edition like that, they're usally called a Fan Book. In Japan, they're called a Doujinshi ( pronounced Dough- Jin- Shee) and can range from a gag book to even adult material but made in good fun!( Yes, I own several of these. I might make a video on it!😂) Many creators and industry greats have made them, from Excel Saga to even the creator of Love Hina! So its always a joy to have one!❤️ *Btw have you ever heard of a UA-cam Channel called Its the Goose, Its the Goose? He's a cool guy that talks about great cartoons/ shows that are either no longer on the air or has fond memories on. I've been on his channels podcast a few times, and he asked if there's other channels he could interview or talk some toons with. So i recommended Serum Lake with Luke and Mary!❤ He sounded excited when i brought up your thorough knowledge on Btas, so give him a chat, and who knows ...maybe even discuss a future video collab! Tell him Lowell sent you! It should be quite the treat!🎃 * If we're gonna talk about great Halloween episodes in BTAS, i wanna shout out my favorites On Leathery Wings and The Demon Within; featuring Etrigans first appearance with the Witch Boy! Not only are they both enjoyable with fantastic animation...it evokes killer transformers and monster movie quality action i just go crazy over! To this day i still rhyme like Etrigan, when i can, and have shared many with friends. Even, " Mothers Grief, Fathers Shame, i shall send him from wence he came!" Where you ask? Im sending him to his room!😂 *Also boys and ghouls, I just wanted to give you all a wonderful thank you for the awesome comments, thoughts, and other creative messages you've been sharing on this wonderful Channel! It's always been a highlight each week, or every couple of days, to hear what others have to share and say and I want to thank you all! As I recover it's always been a wonderful part of my day to see what totally schway has posted or read! Thank you for such a wonderful part of being a Btas/Timm Dini fan and may you all have a happy and spooky Halloween!🎃
@@michaelandreipalon359 oh all kinds of cartoons! Blazing Dragons. Don Bluth, Wizard of Oz series and much much more! ❤️You should check it out too! 💪❤️
If 42:05 is about me, I was a theatre kid, I saw performed in and worked behind the scenes of plenty of them. How annoying I came to find the noncomedy ones comes from a place of experience, not ignorance, over-exposure if anything rather than under-exposure and it certainly isn't about not "being raised well" (The Sounds Of Music would work better as a straight forward drama with the song limited to dialectic naturalism and Little Shop Of Horrors is an absurd comedy so that one works, Blues Brothers is also a comedy.) And if it's not about me then I guess what I just said doesn't apply.
Seems you won't become Revue Starlight Stage Girl Audition material, complete with cool masculine outfit and a sweet weapon. No offense. I dunno, The Sound of Music may seem to become pasture novels generic if it weren't a musical. That's just prolly me.
I don't have anything to say on the episode so I will share with you a joke that relates to Halloween...what do you call Dracula's gay cousin? Count Suckula! He only sucks one thing and it ain't blood! XD Also to Mary, thank you 🙏 I’m glad my surgery went well too, I’d dealt with sore skin around the hole and constantly having my clothes have to go in the wash and always being paranoid about when it would next leak, even now I have ptsd and whenever my stomach gets wet around the hole (weather it’s because of sweat or I’ve spilled a drink) I always get a horrible sense of dread and paranoia. But enough about my tragic potential supervillain backstory lol have a great week you guys, and happy Halloween! 🎃 👻🖤🧡 Edit: sometimes I think about what happened to characters like Veronica Vreeland and other characters like The Penguin post-Batman Beyond, my head canon is that Veronica changes the error of her ways and settled down with a family, made amends with Oswald after the Birds of a Feather episode, and had a great friendship with Bruce before he became more seclusive and closed off, Penguin probably retired the crime and attempted to reform a second time. As for Pierce Chapman? Veronica dumped him and he died alone lol. Also, I like to think that Stella from the Mudslide episode had a wonderful career as a doctor and again, retired with a family, Teddy got married to a wonderful hubby, and Clayface probably resolved and eventually died, I like to think that characters like Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and the villains who legitimately tried to reform, eventually did reform and start new lives, maybe Two-Face eventually got his surgery and got therapy for his ‘Big Bad Harv’ persona Okay I’m done lol
Ah, I see. You guys have reached a sort of Daylight Savings rescheduling on Totally Schway as of late? (Sorry for being late a bit. My battery was suddenly low, so finishing this wasn't done live.) SL's voice still sounds OK though. Will there be also an Ace of the Royal Flush Gang (the one voiced by Hynden Walch, not the robot) Mondo figure? Nowadays, the titular character will be deemed more as THE villain simply because of his voice actor. Shame, really, but you know how audiences and relatability are. Can recommend The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971), but I don't think it's a Hammer horror. Anyways, I'm more familiar with 1970s onwards horror, like the first Jaws and Duel, the Alien duology (Alien³: Assembly Cut may also be included), the first Predator (though Predator II isn't too bad), The Fly and The Thing remakes, the first Tremors and The Mummy 1999 (surprise hits, really, considering similar films like Anaconda and Piranha didn't pique me), Dog Soldiers and The Descent, and Cloverfield. Dana Tan needed more love, both from Terry McGinnis and the show's creators. The Justice League Unlimited could have checked up on what happened to the Earth-Mover. No mention of the Batboat/Batsub Beyond? No mention of that shadowy silhouette moment that, surprisingly, was Batman all along? Lack of ears made the Earth-Mover appropriately inhuman, of course. Bruce Timm did right on that in the same way Valve did right by not giving Gordon Freeman a strange ponytail if not a HEV helmet, no matter the "unrealism". As an aside, if anyone likes this ep, I may recommend the likes of Mushi-shi and Kino's Journey for similar anomalous conundrums, and even the more cynical yet still intriguing Mononoke. Would like to see "Beware the Grey Ghost" get the same treatment as this. One of my peak favorite episodes in any piece of television and animation, that, and one that fully embraces the value and joy of passionate fandoms and being amazing actors in amazing works. More power to Harry's comments! 37:11: Timestamping. 37:52: Also finished Odd Taxi and even Revue Starlight (though you mispronounced Shoujo, Kageki, and Revue), alongside their accompaniment movies. Now continuing on to Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song. Dang, that's not even how "choo choo" is pronounced, SL. Anyone remember Chu-Chu the monkey from Revolutionary Girl Utena? As an aside, the aforementioned Revue Starlight is quite something of a musical anime series, so to not be confused with its preceding live stage plays (performed by the characters' voice actors, even) from a different continuity. Highly recommend checking out the English subbed Revues sometime in YT, especially to Smears. Although, some context may be lost in confusion by not watching the actual series+movies, but the songs, feels, and sakuga action should still satisfy; with that, it's somehow not proper yuri/girl's love, and yet oozes like one such work, like it or not (curiously, it does have a queer character in the form of Hokkaido girl Mahiru Tsuyuzaki, though in the end of it all, she stays single, albeit not unsatisfied for her talented future to the stage)... such are its Takarazuka Revue inspirations when directed by a guy whose mentor was a primary creator for, again, Revolutionary Girl Utena. (And I'll argue that Revue Starlight is a better spiritual successor to it compared to Penguindrum, Yuri Kuma Arashi, and Sarazanmai; struggling now, Serum Lake? *Wakarimasu.)* All in all, I may recommend that anime continuity lots. Oh, and it's no Puella Magi Madoka Magica rip-off despite first glances, believe me. 49:15: Yay, Beast Wars and Dinobot get shout-outs! 53:37: Kaa, I see. Wonder if Joker 2 dislikers may prefer The King of Comedy more? That's some "haunted farm" tale. Thanks for showcasing that.
Are you going to discuss Lost Soul at some point? Because that episode contains what is in my opinion the most disturbing scene in all of Batman Beyond where Batman kills Robert Vance and he mentally regresses to the mindset of an infant as he dies. His last words being 'mama'.
And even then, was the A.I. really Mr. Vance himself, or just a corrupted simulacrum after so many years of dormancy? Kind of brings into mind, hmm, the "Sing My Pleasure" conundrum with Grace in Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song.
I haven't seen either of the recent Joker films, and I can't say that I have much desire to do so. I knew as soon as I saw the trailers for the first one, that encourage the viewer to feel sad for the character when he's abused by an uncaring world, and to root for him when he seeks violent revenge against that society, that this was *not* the way to handle the Joker. You simply do not make the Joker into some kind of sympathetic anti-hero, but sadly DC makes too much revenue from marketing the character to sociopathic incels who think that a nihilistic spree-killer is an appropriate role model. I understand that there's room for different interpretations of a character, but at some point you have to accept that you're changing so much of what makes the Joker who he is that you're just using the name, a loose visual resemblance, and nothing else. A friend of mine who has seen it tells me that it's little more than a pastiche of Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy with the names Gotham City and Arkham Asylum scattered around and the Al Pacino/Robert De Niro character dipped in clown greasepant to grab a share of that sweet, sweet superhero franchise money. I've seen Steel, Elektra, and Catwoman, so I feel pretty confident in saying that making a solo film about a member of a more popular character's supporting cast or rogues gallery where that more popular character isn't legally allowed to show up is very likely setting itself up to fail. I haven't seen Morbius or Madame Web, but what I hear doesn't seem to be proving me wrong. If you absolutely *must* have a solo Joker movie without Batman, I believe the best way to do it is to play it like a 1980s slasher flick. The Joker is not an anti-hero, he's Freddy Krueger or Chucky or any of the overly chatty boogeymen of the period. Like Freddy and Chucky, he may be charismatic, often genuinely funny, and always gets the best lines, but the Joker never strays from being a terrifying murderer and an irredeemable monster, and the audience should cheer when he gets his well-deserved comeuppance in the final reel. I'm not saying I'd be eager to go see that version either, as 1980s slasher flicks aren't my thing (if I'm going to watch a horror film, I want to see vampires and werewolves and mummies and most of all I want to see the zippers in the back of the suits), but that's just the least awful way I can think of to do it if the suits at WB insist upon it.
Such is the problem with the first Joker film. Even if it's good in its own right, it'll suddenly force people to be curious about Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy and make them fall in love with such oldies, which then leads to hype backlash and critical dissonance.
Thank you guys!!! I know I’m a little on the young side here, just turned 21 at the beginning of October. And now that I’m an ‘adult’ I have gotten into the most debilitating hobbies. Action figure and comic collecting. And mini figure painting. All because of this one darn show. It snowballed so hard and I wouldn’t have it any other way
You should see me and my obsession on extra lore side material. Stuff like Star Wars Legends and Odd Taxi sure makes me want to see tales from different perspectives set in otherwise familiar moments (a case in point, how the Death Star and Darth Plagueis novels influence the events of A New Hope and the Prequels respectively).
To "make the Earth move" is a euphemistic idiom for being a good sexual partner. I think about that every time someone mentions this character and he's getting mentioned a lot here.
They Are Certain Episodes Of Shows That Have Stuck With Me Over The Years. Batman Beyond Earth Mover & The Peacock Family From The X Files. Earth Mover Is One Of My Favourite Episodes. Keep Up The Good Work.
There's also a bunch of Courage the Cowardly Dog eps for me, especially the one about a masked woman. Can't believe I actually avoided that ep because of said mask, when I should have gone forward and seen its heartwarming end about a queer couple escaping an abusive dog boyfriend. Truly, another one of the titular Courage's finest hours!
Hey guys. Loved hearing your thoughts on Earth Mover. A truly delightfully pleasant episode with such heartwarming and and not at all disturbing imagery. Or did I get it backwards… I was a tad perplexed when you brought up the voice actor which led me to look it up, and yikes, that's a whole can of worms I don't plan to touch.
So as for the current topic, I wasn't quite sure if you were specifically referring to the DCAU iterations of Superman and Batman or the characters in in the comics and everything overall, but generally in the comics I connect with Superman as a character a lot more than Batman. While not the only reason, big part of that is because during some of the hardest times in my life, it was reading Superman stories that really helped me get through it. In the context of the DCAU, Batman had a significantly larger screen time so there was more time for development, and while both DCAU Superman and Batman are incredible, its Batman had a bit of bigger impact.
One of the many reasons Superman is so essential in the world of comics and pop culture is because he represents the goodness and hope within all of us. Superman is kind, compassionate, understanding, he is gentle, he is teachable and is not afraid to show emotion and affection. In a universe filled with heroes with emotional baggage, Superman is an emotionally healthy hero who while still wrestles with his own inner demons, he still doesn't let those demons define him and he represents the goodness within all of us. Superman is kind. He carries arguably the heaviest heart. Superman is the kind of person who while flying might see you having a bad day and would genuinely take an interest to chat with you and try to cheer you up. The most important trait he embodies is selflessness. Regardless of how he’s viewed, he will always put others before him. The whole world could hate him, but he will never turn his back on the world. Humanity is his first priority. Superman is the prime example of what a true superhero is and what all other heroes aspire to be.
Another one of my favourite aspects about the character is the delightful camaraderie he shares with his supporting cast in the comics which I never really feel to the same extent with Batman. Sure, it's fun to see him talk about crime scenes with Gordon (back when he was Commissioner) and how Alfred helps him in his life (back when he was alive), but other than that I don't feel he shares any particularly special repertoire with anyone (I didn't mention Lucius because he isn't used frequently enough). And before you say it, I don't consider the Bat-Family to be supporting characters anymore and instead of more view them as leading characters who also operate alongside Batman, except Damian I guess.
With Superman however, I'll never be tired of seeing the husband and wife dynamic of Clark and Lois, the Daily Planet staff, him being a father (although I fall in the camp of preferring Jon as kid) and most of all his eternal rivalry with Lex Luthor. And speaking of Lois, I'm so excited to see her as Superwoman again. Dan Mora's art just fills me with joy.
And lastly, what I love about Superman is that despite everything he still the little kid raised in Kansas who just sees the best in people. Despite what Bill from Kill Bill might say, Clark Kent is not the disguise (I mean people need to remember he's the villain of the movie). Although similarly, I actually hate it when people keep saying "Oh Bruce Wayne is the disguise and Batman is who he truly is". For me it's stories like Darwyn Cooke's Batman Ego that solidify that he is ultimately Bruce Wayne to his core.
Still doesn't lower the value of Kill Bill as a masterpiece.
Man, I would really want to reread Ego sometime.
Hey Serum, if they were to do an Absolute Aquaman, what would you want it to be like?
I actually came up with my own idea by creating a version of the character who maintains the core of the character while also taking away the royalty aspect of the character, instead having him act as a rebel. You don't have to read it if you don't want to, I don't mind.
In the idea I came up with, the Trench ended up evolving differently than their main continuity counterpart, doing so in a way similarly to the Atlanteans and Xebelians, equipped with their own society and technology, with this version of Trench overthrowing and decimating Atlantis, its king "Charybdis" claiming the Trident of Neptune in the process, with an Atlantean woman escaping to the surface realm before being found during a storm by pirates and imprisoned, proceeding to give birth to Arthur on the ship and passing, with Arthur growing up on the ship, unaware of his Atlantean origins or abilities, and eventually becoming the crew's captain with this universe David Hyde (Black Manta) acting as his second in command. As a result of his upbringing, Arthur is much more impulsive and violent, being the type to go first into battle without a plan, with that being more David's strong suit. However, despite this, Arthur is still a charismatic natural born leader and still has a clear moral code and sense of justice, ordering the crew not to harm any attendants of ships they raid unless completely necessary, especially in regards to both woman and children.
This all changes when Arthur and his crew raid an explorer ship and find valuable Atlantean artifacts, including a strange sword, recovered by the explorers and so, seeing an opportunity, Arthur decides to hold the explorer crew captive so he, David, and a few other members of their crew could use them, their ship, and the equipment to travel down into the ocean depths in pursuit of valuables. However, the crew is ambushed by nearby Trench soldiers but are ultimately saved by a member of the last true and hidden Atlantean colony, but not without a few members of the crew being killed and Arthur's diving suit being damaged (with this being how he learns he can breath underwater, and where his journey towards discovering his Atlantean origins begins), with Arthur learning about the current situation and, due to his sense of justice and the fact that the trench killed some of his men, Arthur agrees to help the colony with taking down the Trench by traversing to the kingdom of Xebel in order to gain an audience with the queen in hopes of forming an alliance to take down the Trench and Charybdis, the Atlanteans themselves having had little luck doing so in the past as a result of previous tensions between the Atlanteans and Xebelians.
David gets his diving suit upgraded by the Atlanteans and agrees accompany Arthur on the journey to make sure he doesn't get himself killed, but also to seek revenge against the Trench for the deaths of his crewmates, with the two and a few others beginning their journey to Xebel to seek council with the queen so that they and what's left of the Atlanteans could unite to take down the Trench, with Arthur learning more of his Atlantean origins along the way, with us also learning that the sword Arthur found that I mentioned earlier (which will become his main weapon in the story instead of a trident) is also a powerful magical weapon, being the sword of the mythological hero Perseus, which I chose due to how the weapon had, in greek myth, been previously used to defy the will of Poseidon (Roman Name: Neptune), Perseus using it to save Princess Andromeda from the sea monster known as Cetus, who had been sent by Poseidon.
Okay this episode of Batman Beyond I also remember watching as a kid in 1999 getting pretty spooked out about, hard visuals of this guy who's trapped in the ground and how his daughter became an orphan but was adopted by his business partner who he fought with trying to kill him but it was all a big misunderstanding and it's something that to this day if I go to watch this episode and I can see there's a lot of soap opera drama I can get into.
Forgive me as a kid I was watching oldies cartoons and they always make surprise you if like a body horror episode reliable whoa I didn't expect that in Saturday morning cartoon, like in Spider-Man 94 were in season 2 end of getting 6 alarms like that was freaky before it became spider monster that one always stick out to me it's like I wish they did that in the movies but they never did 😭
Even the venom episode in Spider-Man 94 also freak me out especially the first part where he gets to suit and he's having a weird dream of his OG costume fighting the symbiote in his dreams and he wakes up at that building looking at his reflection Halloween to me as a kid and even more so now when I go to re-watch it..
Play with Spider-Man I was mostly into the drama with Batman Beyond gave me Spider-Man Vibes so that's why I stuck with that show for as long as I could growing up and I will be watching today and I can appreciate it more but I kind of wish that Bruce 10 and then would have done a Spider-Man show, what we did get them from the Marvel side with Spider-Man Unlimited and it was interesting but it was short-lived for 13 minutes and that was always been like a kurio in my Spider-Man you know viewing history as a fan of that character because I really like the 94 virgin a lot more than I do like unlimited but it made a cool costume in the PlayStation 1 Spider-Man game an
2000.
Mikey can hate me because I like the Marvel cartoons by X-Men and Spider-Man from the 90s but hey you know what I don't care what he thinks that stuff Friday's near and dear to me, I love that goes what got me into one to read comics in first place how long stuff like the max dose on MTV in Savage dragon which was on USA cartoon Express and Wildcats there was also on the USA cartoon Express in the 90s go ahead and nostalgia from 90's cartoons.
play I enjoyed Batman animated series and Batman Beyond but the Marvel stuff always kept my attention the most stuff like Silver surfer and Hardy Mitch is Spider-Man 94 even that shows like my favorite watch today despite all the Yankee animation and sometimes I'll do later season reuse a lot of action shots and whatnot and X-Men I like because I was into the soap opera so that's what kept me watching those continues continuously and I enjoyed the continued to another blood into another
Where are Batman it didn't look like it had much continuity so that's why I watch it but it almost seems like every episode was a standalone and didn't really build up to anything big my first season Arc or anything and stuff like Justice League came around and then I got more invested in the you know sandwich World episodes would lead to like for a big finale and stuff like Teen Titans 2003 but also dad like bits of continuity in it.
Sorry about the typos by the way I'm going through eye surgery right now and I'm on a lot of meds so forgive my last post that I did where I rambled a little bit I just was on a lot of meds to go to pain that I'm going through will get my eyes worked on.
And Luke I will check out world's finest a lot of my friends are telling me to check out that book because I've been staying away from Reading DC because of the new 52 because I just turned me off I want to read those, cuz I'm just a tone and how dark they were and all this stuff and Joker ripping his face off and stuff it's just something to just made me go I'm not I'm not fooling with DC and I just and I was mostly on the MCU reading kick by the way when stuff I Miss Marvel and Captain Marvel and Doctor strange with all making me really excited and want to read Marvel again, where was DC was always hard for me to find something good besides the ongoing Harley Quinn comic and maybe Doom Patrol when that was good by Gerard Way but other than that I didn't venture to want to read Batman Superman and Wonder Woman because I didn't like how they were done in the movies at a time in the dceu.
does the kid in the 90s I read more more than I did DC and only DC books I was able to get in my hands all was static shock when I was done by milestone I don't really like a few issues of that and then there was still by Louis Tomlinson and John bogdanoff and you know the Superman titles after he had died and came back but I didn't really read any 90s Batman much maybe except for like some random office and also the Batman adventures Comics but that's about as far as I went I didn't really read Batman heavy to about 2003 when hush was a thing with Jim Lee and Loeb on the title and I was reading it and I dropped off up until about 1:00 and got under title and it really support mattress and wanted to read Batman again something that look like Batman animated series but in Maine continuity.
Thank you for being patient and read my my letter and I hope you all get over covid real soon and hope you all start to feel better me I'm on the road to recovery myself with his eye surgery hopefully after this I'll be back to my old self maybe a little bit happier because there's a lot of new Comics I want to read but I want to make sure I get my eyes to be able to see them so yeah.forgive me for being critical of DC stuff outside of comics and even the comics because I just feel like I like more because I can watch and read their stuff and feel like well hey this stuff is making me excited and want to go read the next thing and the next thing just based off the tone and how it does it take a social seriously or DC it feels like a mixed bag every time I go to try to breed your comics.
Anyways Luke and Mary take care of yourselves maybe I'm going to get better I'll try to be less negative.
Melodrama done decently, the ep.
Would like to see the animated Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man do the spider-monster thing again. It just doesn't work well with live action in mind.
I admit, TAS sure nailed its Venom. Makes sense why Sam Raimi adapted it in his otherwise butchered third film (although the Editor's Cut feels good).
Ah, wish the PS1 Neversoft game gets a polished remaster, alongside the first two Sam Raimi games, Web of Shadows, and Shattered Dimensions. Would be schway to add it on my PC gaming library if it gets ported there.
What's Friday again? Anyhow, never read those comics even past childhood.
Hmm, what do you think of plotline-y shows like ReBoot, Beast Wars: Transformers, Gargoyles, Exo-Squad, Mighty Max, and Cybersix?
Typos are forgiven.
🖖, A1ml, or perhaps Julia?
@@michaelandreipalon359
Just call me Julia and I have I mean I like shows like Facebook and stuff but I never watched gargoyles I've watched reboot and I like that one of watch mighty Max I mean don't show that I did watch and I enjoyed it is wished it mighty Max would have at least two or three more seasons in the 90s but it doesn't like a 26 episode of fairy so I had to enjoy what they made it
@@michaelandreipalon359
I really do have a lot of nostalgia for the PS1 Spider-Man game I never played the two random games though except for the Game Boy advanced version as well as far as it went with those but I have no job for that series of movies to preem see you
But I like the storyline stuff of the 94 Spider-Man animated series because I felt like reading the comics which at the time I only read like a scatter shop, turn the clone saga so that was like my little introduction way back when it was only way later than 2005 wouldn't go read the original Stanley John romita stuff to show also borrowed an adaptive story lines from and I like the Animated Series version of morbius because it's suckers on his hands and now it's kind of a weird little cool concept.
But I like how to show did their version of blade did the virgin of the Crossovers with X-Men and Doctor strange and a lot of the Marvel characters even in their more classic or 90s version that time it's a show I'm obsessed over as a kid and I would like to see a revival of like you did X-Men 97 Color Run like how it was plot lines wentbut that's just me I mean I mean I mean that's what I meant to more than just episodic story turn on the light linear's serialized storytelling in my animated fiction as much as I like in my comments I like following a character from point A to point B and see where they start and where I am.
But we're watching beast wars and Transformer step didn't really get mailed excited to watch further Transformer stuff cuz I liked it then just when they were like animals and then turned into people but everything beyond that I just didn't have any interest for.
Put gargoyles I didn't watch a whole lot of only like a couple episodes of mostly watching DuckTales and that was most of my thing at the time that in goof troop.
@@michaelandreipalon359 I mean for as far as the DCA you stuff go on when he got into her when the store all connected yet you have your two parties in your one-offs but I like to see how to progression goes from one episode to the next that's why I got the Superman animated series cuz I felt more like that and Batman Beyond cuz I felt like they were Batman the Animated Series barely felt like everything was together in the same world but I do like Superman show I was excited that the idea of like a future version of the Justice League and that's kind of what else you want me to make me want to get into those Comics later on cuz I was a bit of a DC phase in 2015 but when stuff started to get dark around infinite Crisis and identity crisis I tapped out a little bit and I only really got back into it around when Grant Morrison with Ryan but even after they run with Oliver and then I just didn't bother reading DC for a long time ago
@@michaelandreipalon359 in a way I just wish that the comics I read kind of match more so the shows I watched but that's just me maybe a weird like that but I like that but as soon as you a little bit or at least it was always like to have lost episodes of what you get on the page and stuff is all the show like they both matter as possible to the one doing independently of of the other.
Which 50 seater 12 I'm always in and out of reading their stuff simplify like a specific character like black Wonder Woman or the Teen Titans or Superman depending if he's pretty well or Batman where if he wasn't even more like the 1970s 1980s version as opposed to being the grimdark 20152 version I know it sounds like I'm very picky about these characters and that's why I got into the CW shows because they feel like they all had a good time I didn't care how cheesy to work but I enjoyed it I enjoyed them over the movies.
Thank goodness you're here!
Trying to get through this before The Penguin. We will see.
18:20. I know what you mean, and I know you meant it without any ill intent, but, as an adoptive parent, the phrase "real dad" always bothers me. It implies there is something lesser about adoptive families. Again, I know that is not how you intended it, and I know you will think about it when it comes up in the future. I have two sons, Sergei and Daniel. 8 years apart, Sergei, the older one, was adopted at 10 months old from Russia. Daniel was a late bio kid, I was 41 and the Mrs. was 40. The most irritating thing he does is when he gets in a serious argument with Srgei, he will go to he is the better, favorite, or "realer" son because he is NOT adopted. I have tried to let them sort their arguments out, which are rare, on their own, but that guarantees I will step in and shut that argument down.
24:30. Close, Mr. Sardonicus, was a William Castle (of House on Haunted Hill and 13 Ghosts fame) Title character found out his father had won the lottery but had been buried with the ticket. The image of his grinning father's corpse scared him so badly his face froze in a grin like his father.
London after Midnight. There is no name for Lon's vampire character. In the credits, he is called The Man in the Beaver Hat.
Hey the younger son I mentioned earlier wouldn't eat as a baby and was in the hospital from birth through his 3rd month and had a g-tube. Once he was old enough to actually eat, the g-tube was removed. It too was supposed to heal and did not, so we had to go back and have them stitch it closed.
Hearing your chutzpah pronunciation makes me think of a video Daniel was watching today. As much as I mentioned him in this comment, he may think he is the favorite. Anyhow, it was some lore video about some video 6 the person was talking about the Greek witch from mythology Circe, but he pronounced it cerk. Your chutzpah pronunciation is not quite as jarring, but it is close.
Love Ron Perlman, does the open narration on most of the Fallout games.
So, replying to a comment I just saw and I imsgine you have recently read talking about how memorable the Peacock family in the X-Files was. That episode, Home, has stuck with me and ruined "Wonderful! Wonderful!" by Johnny Mathis. I can't hear that song and not immediately think of that episode.
I feel awful. I wrote such a long comment when you had Covid. But I am so glad you enjoyed the haunt tale. So this story is an old one, way before I had kids. This is from when I was in college, and I think it was the first fall I was dating my future wife. The story doesn't involve her. So this would have been around the time BTAS came out (will tell Valentine's Day story about the wife and BTAS next Valentine's Day.) Anyhow, this was an old big farmhouse and was what haunted attractions used to be. An old building, little to no lights, no exit signs, likely a deathtrap if a fire broke out. Usually run by a community service group like Kiwanis or the Lions. The house was about half a kilometer off the road. You parked in the field across the road from the house and walked up the drive. Near the house was the ticket trailer, a trailer with coffee and hot chocolate, and some porta-potties. I'm not sure if they are called porta-loos or something else across the pond. Anyhow, we are in line. Suddenly, one of the actors comes out with a non running chain saw. He menaces the line for a moment, then walks over to the portapotty. He deftly starts the chainsaw with one pull and starts striking the porta-potty with it. Shari says she heard a scream, I don't recall that, just the saw and the banging. Maybe two seconds pass, and the woman that was in there slams open the door, tugging up her pants and takes off down the driveway. To the best of my knowledge, that lady has probably lapped the planet several times because she ran out of sight and I never saw her again.
At time of writing, not much *Chicken News* because I'm commenting this while the video is new instead of like 10 days old, not much time has passed to allow things to happen. This is a good thing; good to have a break from problems and drama.
I thought Meibel had gone a couple days without laying eggs but turned out she has been laying secret eggs on a garden wall under the ivy (same place from which she knocked off that plant pot); trying once again to impress Wilma and Betti, Doris has been a treacherous scab and acted like a total dick to Meibel lately (even got brigged today - twice!) and maybe Meibel has been laying on the wall to get away from her. Maybe it's just to catch the sun as we've had lovely weather last couple days or so and it's a great sunny spot.
Taken Betti off the meds I put her on to see if she'd worsen and she hasn't so I'll leave her off them. She had a but bit of grumpy aggression today but I think that's from seeing Doris being aggressive. I have managed to stop Betti pecking Meibel at bedtime. Instead of poking Betti and telling her off, I started resting my finger on her beak and telling her to stay calm and not peck her. 3 nights later didn't even need to do that, she just knows not to now.
Wilma has been cheeky as usual, plucking feathers and after getting bollocked telling me she didn't do it when I just saw her do it. Also she ran into the house and tried to eat an elastic band *again* but got nowhere near it because I saw and stopped her. I think she thinks they're worms.
*Edit to add:* Today I heard the distress call again (it doesn't always mean distress per say, but does always mean "daddy, come out here please quickly!") so I go out expecting to chase away some animal but instead I find Wilma pointing at one of Meibel's garden eggs. Wilma is smart enough to have figured out that I would want it and is loyal enough to me that she wants me to get what I want.
Such a good girl and such a clever girl!

*I definitely wanna get that coloring book you both keep teasing my eye with!😂 Those beautiful Illustrations are making me drool, which i wanna add to my ever growing art book collection , so i look forward to it and your review Luke!❤️ If its anything like your Batman Bootleg review, which i bought immediately after finishing that video, it'll be awesome!❤️🎃
* Speaking of that book, anytime a comic, art book, or any kind material made by an illustrator is collected in an edition like that, they're usally called a Fan Book. In Japan, they're called a Doujinshi
( pronounced Dough- Jin- Shee)
and can range from a gag book to even adult material but made in good fun!( Yes, I own several of these. I might make a video on it!😂) Many creators and industry greats have made them, from Excel Saga to even the creator of Love Hina! So its always a joy to have one!❤️
*Btw have you ever heard of a UA-cam Channel called Its the Goose, Its the Goose? He's a cool guy that talks about great cartoons/ shows that are either no longer on the air or has fond memories on. I've been on his channels podcast a few times, and he asked if there's other channels he could interview or talk some toons with. So i recommended Serum Lake with Luke and Mary!❤ He sounded excited when i brought up your thorough knowledge on Btas, so give him a chat, and who knows ...maybe even discuss a future video collab! Tell him Lowell sent you! It should be quite the treat!🎃
* If we're gonna talk about great Halloween episodes in BTAS, i wanna shout out my favorites On Leathery Wings and The Demon Within; featuring Etrigans first appearance with the Witch Boy! Not only are they both enjoyable with fantastic animation...it evokes killer transformers and monster movie quality action i just go crazy over! To this day i still rhyme like Etrigan, when i can, and have shared many with friends. Even, " Mothers Grief, Fathers Shame, i shall send him from wence he came!" Where you ask? Im sending him to his room!😂
*Also boys and ghouls, I just wanted to give you all a wonderful thank you for the awesome comments, thoughts, and other creative messages you've been sharing on this wonderful Channel! It's always been a highlight each week, or every couple of days, to hear what others have to share and say and I want to thank you all! As I recover it's always been a wonderful part of my day to see what totally schway has posted or read! Thank you for such a wonderful part of being a Btas/Timm Dini fan and may you all have a happy and spooky Halloween!🎃
Good old Excel Saga! Might even add Puni Puni Poemy.

If 42:05 is about me, I was a theatre kid, I saw performed in and worked behind the scenes of plenty of them. How annoying I came to find the noncomedy ones comes from a place of experience, not ignorance, over-exposure if anything rather than under-exposure and it certainly isn't about not "being raised well" (The Sounds Of Music would work better as a straight forward drama with the song limited to dialectic naturalism and Little Shop Of Horrors is an absurd comedy so that one works, Blues Brothers is also a comedy.) And if it's not about me then I guess what I just said doesn't apply.
Seems you won't become Revue Starlight Stage Girl Audition material, complete with cool masculine outfit and a sweet weapon. No offense.
I dunno, The Sound of Music may seem to become pasture novels generic if it weren't a musical. That's just prolly me.
I don't have anything to say on the episode so I will share with you a joke that relates to Halloween...what do you call Dracula's gay cousin?
Count Suckula! He only sucks one thing and it ain't blood! XD
Also to Mary, thank you 🙏 I’m glad my surgery went well too, I’d dealt with sore skin around the hole and constantly having my clothes have to go in the wash and always being paranoid about when it would next leak, even now I have ptsd and whenever my stomach gets wet around the hole (weather it’s because of sweat or I’ve spilled a drink) I always get a horrible sense of dread and paranoia. But enough about my tragic potential supervillain backstory lol have a great week you guys, and happy Halloween! 🎃 👻🖤🧡
Edit: sometimes I think about what happened to characters like Veronica Vreeland and other characters like The Penguin post-Batman Beyond, my head canon is that Veronica changes the error of her ways and settled down with a family, made amends with Oswald after the Birds of a Feather episode, and had a great friendship with Bruce before he became more seclusive and closed off, Penguin probably retired the crime and attempted to reform a second time. As for Pierce Chapman? Veronica dumped him and he died alone lol. Also, I like to think that Stella from the Mudslide episode had a wonderful career as a doctor and again, retired with a family, Teddy got married to a wonderful hubby, and Clayface probably resolved and eventually died, I like to think that characters like Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and the villains who legitimately tried to reform, eventually did reform and start new lives, maybe Two-Face eventually got his surgery and got therapy for his ‘Big Bad Harv’ persona
Okay I’m done lol
Hmm, good enough conclusions there. Hope some actually age well because they actually get officially utilized.
Ah, I see. You guys have reached a sort of Daylight Savings rescheduling on Totally Schway as of late?
(Sorry for being late a bit. My battery was suddenly low, so finishing this wasn't done live.)
SL's voice still sounds OK though.
Will there be also an Ace of the Royal Flush Gang (the one voiced by Hynden Walch, not the robot) Mondo figure?
Nowadays, the titular character will be deemed more as THE villain simply because of his voice actor. Shame, really, but you know how audiences and relatability are.
Can recommend The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971), but I don't think it's a Hammer horror. Anyways, I'm more familiar with 1970s onwards horror, like the first Jaws and Duel, the Alien duology (Alien³: Assembly Cut may also be included), the first Predator (though Predator II isn't too bad), The Fly and The Thing remakes, the first Tremors and The Mummy 1999 (surprise hits, really, considering similar films like Anaconda and Piranha didn't pique me), Dog Soldiers and The Descent, and Cloverfield.
Dana Tan needed more love, both from Terry McGinnis and the show's creators.
The Justice League Unlimited could have checked up on what happened to the Earth-Mover.
No mention of the Batboat/Batsub Beyond? No mention of that shadowy silhouette moment that, surprisingly, was Batman all along?
Lack of ears made the Earth-Mover appropriately inhuman, of course. Bruce Timm did right on that in the same way Valve did right by not giving Gordon Freeman a strange ponytail if not a HEV helmet, no matter the "unrealism".
As an aside, if anyone likes this ep, I may recommend the likes of Mushi-shi and Kino's Journey for similar anomalous conundrums, and even the more cynical yet still intriguing Mononoke.
Would like to see "Beware the Grey Ghost" get the same treatment as this. One of my peak favorite episodes in any piece of television and animation, that, and one that fully embraces the value and joy of passionate fandoms and being amazing actors in amazing works.
More power to Harry's comments!
37:11: Timestamping.
37:52: Also finished Odd Taxi and even Revue Starlight (though you mispronounced Shoujo, Kageki, and Revue), alongside their accompaniment movies. Now continuing on to Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song.
Dang, that's not even how "choo choo" is pronounced, SL. Anyone remember Chu-Chu the monkey from Revolutionary Girl Utena?
As an aside, the aforementioned Revue Starlight is quite something of a musical anime series, so to not be confused with its preceding live stage plays (performed by the characters' voice actors, even) from a different continuity. Highly recommend checking out the English subbed Revues sometime in YT, especially to Smears. Although, some context may be lost in confusion by not watching the actual series+movies, but the songs, feels, and sakuga action should still satisfy; with that, it's somehow not proper yuri/girl's love, and yet oozes like one such work, like it or not (curiously, it does have a queer character in the form of Hokkaido girl Mahiru Tsuyuzaki, though in the end of it all, she stays single, albeit not unsatisfied for her talented future to the stage)... such are its Takarazuka Revue inspirations when directed by a guy whose mentor was a primary creator for, again, Revolutionary Girl Utena. (And I'll argue that Revue Starlight is a better spiritual successor to it compared to Penguindrum, Yuri Kuma Arashi, and Sarazanmai; struggling now, Serum Lake? *Wakarimasu.)*
All in all, I may recommend that anime continuity lots. Oh, and it's no Puella Magi Madoka Magica rip-off despite first glances, believe me.
49:15: Yay, Beast Wars and Dinobot get shout-outs!
53:37: Kaa, I see.
Wonder if Joker 2 dislikers may prefer The King of Comedy more?
That's some "haunted farm" tale. Thanks for showcasing that.
Are you going to discuss Lost Soul at some point? Because that episode contains what is in my opinion the most disturbing scene in all of Batman Beyond where Batman kills Robert Vance and he mentally regresses to the mindset of an infant as he dies. His last words being 'mama'.
And even then, was the A.I. really Mr. Vance himself, or just a corrupted simulacrum after so many years of dormancy? Kind of brings into mind, hmm, the "Sing My Pleasure" conundrum with Grace in Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song.
Holiday Season? Christmas with the Joker coming up soon?
Not the greatest Joker ep, but still quite an early gem for B: TAS.
hello schway
Totally.
Just to correct here Doctor phibes Is not a hammer film not sure what studio it came from.
I think it's from the U.K. branch of American International Pictures, associated with MGM.
I haven't seen either of the recent Joker films, and I can't say that I have much desire to do so. I knew as soon as I saw the trailers for the first one, that encourage the viewer to feel sad for the character when he's abused by an uncaring world, and to root for him when he seeks violent revenge against that society, that this was *not* the way to handle the Joker. You simply do not make the Joker into some kind of sympathetic anti-hero, but sadly DC makes too much revenue from marketing the character to sociopathic incels who think that a nihilistic spree-killer is an appropriate role model. I understand that there's room for different interpretations of a character, but at some point you have to accept that you're changing so much of what makes the Joker who he is that you're just using the name, a loose visual resemblance, and nothing else. A friend of mine who has seen it tells me that it's little more than a pastiche of Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy with the names Gotham City and Arkham Asylum scattered around and the Al Pacino/Robert De Niro character dipped in clown greasepant to grab a share of that sweet, sweet superhero franchise money.
I've seen Steel, Elektra, and Catwoman, so I feel pretty confident in saying that making a solo film about a member of a more popular character's supporting cast or rogues gallery where that more popular character isn't legally allowed to show up is very likely setting itself up to fail. I haven't seen Morbius or Madame Web, but what I hear doesn't seem to be proving me wrong. If you absolutely *must* have a solo Joker movie without Batman, I believe the best way to do it is to play it like a 1980s slasher flick. The Joker is not an anti-hero, he's Freddy Krueger or Chucky or any of the overly chatty boogeymen of the period. Like Freddy and Chucky, he may be charismatic, often genuinely funny, and always gets the best lines, but the Joker never strays from being a terrifying murderer and an irredeemable monster, and the audience should cheer when he gets his well-deserved comeuppance in the final reel.
I'm not saying I'd be eager to go see that version either, as 1980s slasher flicks aren't my thing (if I'm going to watch a horror film, I want to see vampires and werewolves and mummies and most of all I want to see the zippers in the back of the suits), but that's just the least awful way I can think of to do it if the suits at WB insist upon it.
Such is the problem with the first Joker film. Even if it's good in its own right, it'll suddenly force people to be curious about Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy and make them fall in love with such oldies, which then leads to hype backlash and critical dissonance.
