I can't believe WB would willingly sabotage themselves by giving up an OP Superman like Henry Cavill along with the Snyderverse for a black Superman.

They got rid of Henry Cavill when he refused to shave his mustache for reshoots. He cost them millions over dollars over a mustache. Cavill is a great Superman, but I can't blame them after that.

Warner Bros. is making a standalone Superman movie; a period piece in which Clark Kent and General Zod are Black. When they made a standalone race-swapped movie, they saw fit to include Zod. Between that and Man of Steel, General Zod is being canonized as Superman's primary adversary. And when they decide to do an ongoing Superman series again, you can bet Zod will be there front and center.

Say what you will about Lex Luthor as a character, it's the lack of competition which has hindered Superman. The chief complaint is that he's too invincible. Now that Superman's main foe is going to be someone on his level, I expect the Man of Steel to be measured more for his own merits than for his lack of suitable opposition.

Batgirl (Babs Gordon version) and Two Face. The 2 parter introduction of Two Fave in BTAS was so, so good.

I'm kinda surprised a movie hasn't done that thing where Two-Face covers one side of his face up like he did in that two-part episode.

It seems to me like that would be a way to get people to want to see the movie. You can see his hand is burned. You can see from behind the bag over the side of his face that the area around his eye is burned. But what does his face look like underneath? You gotta see the movie to find out.

Oh, it was him. That's funny. I thought I'd read somewhere that it was someone else. Did they recast him and maybe that's where the confusion came from? Whatever. It's all the more reason why Hobgoblin was better in that series and why Green Goblin felt lame by comparison when he finally showed up.

If Mark Hamill had voiced Two-Face in Batman: The Animated Series, and a 1966 version of the Joker showed up in the second season, fans of that era might've thought differently about the Joker's worth as a villain.

I can get over a wrongful first impression of Green Goblin as a character, but I never got over how juvenile the name sounded. To this day, I feel like "the Green Goblin" should be the name of a Smurfs villain, a Care Bears villain, something like that.

HAHAH I like the anyone over green goblin part that got me lol

I'll be honest. It comes down to introduction.

My introduction to Spider-Man was the 90s cartoon show. During the first season, they couldn't use Green Goblin because he was on loan for a live action movie that never got made.

So, they used Hobgoblin instead. By the time Green Goblin appeared in the second season, the well had been poisoned. Hobgoblin had already done all of the cool things a villain with a glider can do. (And he had a voice actor who did a near-perfect imitation of Mark Hamill's Joker.)



More importantly, when Green Goblin showed up in the second season, the name and color scheme just felt juvenile by comparison. Keep in mind, this was a cartoon show. They couldn't have Green Goblin kill Gwen Stacy. They couldn't make him a dark, mature villain. Instead, he was a cackling green elf.

I just never got over that first impression that "the Green Goblin" sounded like a kid's name in comparison to the Hobgoblin.

I never found the main rival to be the most entertaining. Usually, it comes in pairs. If Batman is your favorite superhero, chances are the Joker is your favorite villain. I get it. I've been there in other mediums and with different characters.

For me, I tended to like Batman and Spider-Man's secondary villains more than their primary ones. I'll take Two-Face over Joker, Killer Croc over Riddler, Clayface over Penguin. Likewise, Reptile over Doctor Octopus, Rhino over Vulture, pretty much anyone over Green Goblin.

This is what people say but I've never heard the entire story behind this

Like, they couldn't have just replaced her with someone else? They recently replaced Dr. Hibbert with someone who doesn't sound anything like he did before.
I always felt that they killed Maude "because we could" and for no other reason. She's such a minor character it just seemed so odd to kill her off, and so unexpectedly and in such a bizarre manner.

It was really a huge "WTF?" moment for me when it first aired

They were definitely pissed at Tress MacNeille. The way Maude died was a big middle finger to her value on the show. What actually took place behind the scenes, or who was at fault, we may never know. But there was definitely animosity in the decision.

Super Mario World + Super Mario All*Stars

It's reluctant to turn on. And when it does, it defaults to the nigh-unplayable B Type controls. Once, the Mario coin at the beginning was even a demonic red. (I'll try and get a picture if it does it again.) This is why I don't go in for expensive rare games. When a game is more than 20 years old, there's no guarantee it will continue to work.

Fortunately, this one is easily replaced. But I'd hate to drop $700+ on a copy of Little Samson only to have it glitch out on me due to age.

My favorite thing about this is that Linden Ashby read the script and said "Fuck this" so they recast him but killed the character off out of spite.

Does this mean that most of Jax's scenes were originally written for Johnny Cage? "She has good legs. ...for kicking I mean," sounds like something Cage would've said.
