right now i’m thinking about like environmentalism in 90s cartoons cuz i just watched the jetsons movie and the entire agonizingly slow plot hinges on spacely sprockets building this plant on some other species’ home and george jetson eventually having to force him to stop and it just makes me think about fucking captain planet. now that was the real shit. the fucking half assed “you should sort your recycling and maybe compost, also cut plastic rings” was saved for the PSAs at the end but the episodes of themselves were just “this dickhead greedy fuck is destroying the ozone layer, let’s go beat the shit out of them with our magic rings and our superpowered man we summon from them”

Does anyone remember that episode where someone offered them the gloves that gave them super-strong powers, so Water could like wipe a refinery out with a fucking tsunami, only they had to remove their rings and couldn’t summon Captain Planet? And Heart - who alone had refused - and his monkey had to win them back with the power of friendship?

What even was that supposed to be? A warning against eco-terrorism?

Anyway I remember thinking they were idiots and I would take the gloves if they wouldn’t. 2 even! I decided Heart/Fire was the best build.

I hear from a brand representative that Pabst Blue Ribbon is planning a pinball machine, which they expect to sell for $5k to… bars with accounts, or perhaps distributors to use as promotional items like neon bar signs.

This is such a hilariously doomed idea it could only have been thought up by someone who has no idea how pinball economics works or what route operators do, my desire to watch the clusterfuck happen is matched only by my concern that such a high-profile fiasco could do real harm to the pinball renaissance.

TELL ME ABOUT BANE! WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK?

Professional wrestlers have so many goofy comic book-style concepts, why not have a comic book character with a goofy lucha libre concept?

Pretend I said something interesting here how superheroes and pro wrestlers have a common ancestor in circus strongmen and fair circuit catch-wrestlers.

Anonymous asked: " Zarm tricks the Planeteers into trading their rings for more powerful weapons, which he provides. Ma-Ti, whose ring's power cancelled out the mind control, is the only one who doesn't trust him. He then turns the Planeteers away from Gaia with literal "Iron Fists" that increase their elemental powers a hundred-fold, making Gais mortal and allowing him to nearly kill her. However, his plan for staging a nuclear war on Earth, with the Planeteers' unwitting help" Wow.

A LOTTA LOYALTY FOR A HIRED GUN!

Anonymous asked: A LOTTA LOYALTY FOR A HIRED GUN!
These in the day when heaven was falling
the hour when earth’s foundation fled
followed their mercenary calling
and took their wages, and are dead

Their shoulders held the sky suspended
they stood, and earth’s foundations stay
what God abandoned, these defended
and saved the sum of things for pay
