Sometimes you go with the joke that entered your head.
There’s no Clutter Report this week between events that happened in the reviewing community that I’ll get to Monday and family events that may push that forward a day or two since I want time to do it right. Basically, Saturday was full of bad news. For Reviewers Unknown I posted the BW Press Junket with Doug Walker. How did you guys like my intro? The music was stock from the editing software but the rest was my work. Well, someone else made the fonts if you want to be nitpicky.
I’m going to partly blame yesterday’s news as I needed something amusing when I wrote this article. But I thought about it and it might be the wrong time to post it here, as I’ll hopefully explain tomorrow. But that was our winner.
Space Sentinels (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Some of Hanna-Barbera’s superheroes have become popular figures among cartoons fans, particularly Space Ghost and Birdman, but we’ve seen others in the “Toonami” editions of Cartoon Network Presents and there may be others you aren’t aware of.
However, Filmation created their share of superheroes as well. As our Filmation tribute continues, Saturday Night Showcase looks at one of those teams, the Space Sentinels. All three of the Filmation Founders had a hand in this show about three humans snatched from Earth, given superpowers, then sent back to fight evil. With no evidence of them asking first. And you thought the Guardians of Oa were jerks.
In the first episode, the Sentinels meet their own Black Adam in the form of an evil Sentinel who (naturally) wants to rule the universe.
This week we go back to Jonny Quest, who went back to the…unreal adventures? I still don’t understand that title. At least the Real Ghostbusters did an episode where the movie was being filmed (although it was probably a swipe at Filmation’s Ghostbusters, who technically was there first). Oh well. At least The Real Adventures had their own virtual reality simulator…yeah, still not following.
Yes, it’s a take on Batman. We get it.
