Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread XVIII - Road to 30

I've not seen ET, pretty much any animated Disney Movie, the Goonies or Karate Kid. Or nearly all movies after a certain cut off point. I generally catch older movies.

I grew up with animated Disney movies, but as I've gotten older I have also stopped watching new releases as I come out.

I watch them as in-flight entertainment on longer flights, though. Win!

A few years back I was on holidays with my young-adult daughter and three of her young female friends. (I was very kindly treated as the group dad.) It was Christmas in a foreign country and everything was closed so we ended up watching a couple of animated Disney movies I had never seen, Tangled and Big Hero 6. Both were quite entertaining.

I really like the animated version of One Piece. Robin is my favorite Straw Hat.

Like with many others, I think the animé has caught up to the manga.

silly slow mangas.

With odd exception I've not strayed far from Ghost inthe Shell Akira and Patlabor. Those were a long time ago. I'd be interested in things in a similar vein.

Samurai X is still my favorite.

Gundam!

I've watched bits and pieces, but sadly as a child I was always pressured to excel in school and had little time to actually follow long-running series.

Simpson’s is the longest running US show

I never got into The Simpsons. The only funny bit I remember in 30 years of occasionally giving the show a chance was Homer Simpson seating his big butt on his easy chair while that 70s radio chestnut, "Groove Me," played in the background.

My favorite Simpsons bit was from an early season. Mow is going out to catch the crank caller. He starts to tell Barney to watch the bar but then changes to Homer. Barney says “What kind of hopeless alcoholic do you think I am?” Then he goes “Someone spilled beer in this ashtray!” And he drinks it.

I've enjoyed the Simpsons. I don't think I ever had a real laugh-out-loud moment, but I do remember being entertained.

As there never used to be much to do on a Sunday night, I used to watch the early series with my parents. We liked them enough to record them, even if I don't remember details or ever rewatching them. My dad probably liked it best and a "D'oh" or a "robot with a human brain" still makes it into conversation.

Which robot with a human brain? Robert Crane or Cliff Steele?

Always did find it interesting how there were two characters so similar in concept as Robert Crane and Cliff Steele..

Robert Crane appeared recently in Metal Men #4. He was a guest star at a RoboCon 2020 which Tin and Lead attended although he used his alias of Paul Dennis but in his Robotman guise.

All-Star Squadron made Robert Crane one of my favorite characters!

I really need to go back and read a lot more of his original stories.

I went through his '53 stories for Bits. They were fine although hedging their non super hero bets by having a little humour and a pet dog. I'd like to read more of his earlier tales.

Cliff Steele's creator said he wasn't aware of the earlier version.

With Robotman in the All Star Squadron, I thought Commander Steel as a bit unecessary.

I wonder what Commander Steel must have felt.

Upset enough to travel to Earth-1 over it

His fiance taking up with another man was bad enough, but feeling redundant on the All-star Squadron was just too much!

Thomas' Retcon Power and his awesome Continuity Cube trumps little things like team dynamics. Commander Steel would have been used by Thomas before creator Conway brought his grandson back on another Earth in the JLD. Conway's Steel vs Steel plot could have been one used for Infinity Inc had the the JLD not happened.

Commander Steel over Green Arrow.... hmmm...

You'd have thought people would recognise Robotman as his metallic face really didn't replicate the mask that was put over it. The lack of expression and the odd shape would have been give aways.
