Why was this a list? Anyway, this video is good timing considering what’s coming up tonight.
So it appears the article I intended for tonight is going to take longer than I thought. So I’ll work on that for tomorrow and do more filler as the deadline is coming up.
The Wonder Twins get a lot of hate from people who hate anything made for kids, most of it going to Zan because his powers frankly weren’t thought through well enough. Liberties had to be made because they didn’t know what to do with a hero in training whose power involved the three stages of water (solid, liquid, gas) while his sister turned into animals from Earth and occasionally from their home planet Exor when the plot needed it. Gleek was…there. Frankly I like Zan and Jana and Gleek and as much undeserved hate I feel Wendy and Marvin get three superheroes in training make more sense than three normals who just hung out with the superheroes, but that’s been covered.
This would have been a quick post as well but that deadline and this comic taking more time to go through than I expected shot that down, so let’s return to Casually Comics and host Sasha Wood to go over the history of the Wonder Twins, which actually takes more than one video. Some swearing in the quotes.
No love for Captain Pike. Guess he doesn’t get his own omnipotent being.

Strange that this trailer, if it’s still up because YouTube has issues, talks about Bambi’s older years when people remember the early days of young Bambi, Thumper, and Flower more. Enjoy your memories because Disney continues to hate them. Now this story, loosely based on a novel by Felix Salten (typical Disney), is getting a photorealistic remake just like The Lion King, and if it’s more faithful to the book you won’t see Thumper and Flower either. Richard Schertzer of Fansided’s “Hidden Remote” goes over why this is a bad idea…although I think we could have guessed that on our own.
Well, today’s been…a day I was forced to live. It’s hard to be partial when you’re in a bad mood so we’ll shelve today’s plan for tomorrow. As I’m coming up on the deadline I need to have something to entertain and inform. Luckily I keep a few Filler Videos on hand that doesn’t work as just a quick post.
Masters Of The Universe may be known more as a TV show and some comics but it started as a toyline. This kind of matches up with my defense of cartoons based on/meant to sell toys. The show itself has to be good to sell toys. There’s a reason Star Trek had a ton of toys and Space Rangers didn’t, at least that I’m aware of. Plus the toys outlasted the show. It’s a story about toys for kids based on stories and artwork not for kids, a surprise hit with girls leading to a jealous girls division ruining a good idea, and a franchise that still has fans today.
In the first of a series of videos by Midnight’s Edge, host Andre Einherjar begins his look at the history with the debut of the toyline and minicomics and the debut of a cartoon that opened the door for syndicated animated series apart from the Saturday morning formula.
It’s better than the Spider-Mobile I guess.
