I have to admit the muscles, stubble and overall look do make him crushable!

Except for the Threeboot version. Nothing could salvage that

With the exception of Bouncing Boy, just about all the male Legionnaires have always been portrayed as muscular, but Jo was almost always portrayed as having one of the most heavily-muscled frames. That was always fine by me.

Under Coipel's pens, Jo, Mon, Thom and Cos were much more heavily muscled than Lyle, Garth, Brainy, Cham, Jan. I thought that was very realistic.

Maybe another reason I never took much to Jo, Thom or Mon is because I prefer lean and toned body types. In the Postboot, I found Garth to be the most attractive

Now if we're talking crushes, I guess I would say Rokk, Gim, Jo, and Brin were the Legionnaires I crushed on the most.

All quite burly boys, huh?

I used to have quite a crush on SW6 and Postboot Invisible Kid. Then I realized he's a lot like me and would make a terrible boyfriend for me

I never thought much about who would make the best boyfriend of the lot, but then I was always fairly clueless in that area.

That reminds me of a girl I met in college who gave me offered to give me her phone number. I took it to be polite. I had absolutely no idea that it was because she was interested in me that way till I happened to think of it many years later. That's how clueless I was about dating and the like. I wasn't out yet, but apparently, she didn't know the wrong tree when she was barking up it.

I used to be very awkward about dating. I could read situations well, but I was terrible about how to react to them. I knew when girls (and guys!) were interested, but I didn't always handle it properly.

It's never nice to suggest that someone is a dog.

Some people would be lucky to be compared to female dogs

In the early 80s TV cartoon Thundarr the Barbarian, one of Thundarr's catchphrases was "Demon Dogs!", which he'd intone whenever he was shocked by something.

I always kind of loved the basic concept of Thundarr. Definitely something I'd be interested in seeing revived in some form.

I'm not familiar with Thundarr. The cartoons I used to watch were Scooby-Doo and Captain Planet, among others.

I agree with EDE. I think that what Thundarr lacked in quality of animation and voice acting, it more than made up for in quality of production design and writing. I'd say it holds up much better than other fantasy cartoons of its time, including both She-Ra and He-Man. Maybe even ThunderCats.

I never watched She-Ra, He-Man or ThunderCats either.

I enjoyed the Scooby-Doo movies, though. One hour of hijinks, with guest stars in each!

The creators of Scooby-Doo, Joe Ruby & Ken Spears, were Hanna-Barbera's go-to writers for several years. Then they formed their own studio, Ruby-Spears, and did many cartoon series for about a decade before DiC's business practices nearly destroyed the American animation market. Some Ruby-Spears series were better than others, but one of them was the aforementioned Thundarr. Another was the underrated Centurions.

Jem and the Holograms comic link in case it hadn't been posted.

I always liked Jem and the Holograms. The theme song was pretty catchy.

It's not something I've seen. But her hair is about as perfect as '8os dream hair could possibly be, and I saw some posts on it previously.

I never finished the series. I wonder if I can go find some old videos...

Ibby, Jem! is available on both DVD and Netflix.

I like Jem! a lot, especially the voice acting, but I think Christy Marx's greatest 80s achievements were the scripts she wrote for Spider-Man, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, and G.I. Joe.

Thanks, Fanfie! I will totally look into it.

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends! That one had some very good stories. Christy Marx deserves much applause for that.

Yes, and she wrote what I consider the best one, "A Firestar is Born".

Firestar was so good that she even got imported into the comics universe!

Yep. I love the Firestar comic book miniseries from the 80s, and she also made memorable appearances in the mutant books.

I always wanted Firestar to do well, and thought she was underused. I do recall her as being a bit naive in her New Mutants appearances. She didn't do a huge amount when on the Avengers either. I was hoping she'd really push on form that.
