A Short Message For Brainatra
As you'd expressed interest in seeing the PPG episode 'Meet the Beat-Alls', I thought I should let you know: Cartoon Network has it schedualed for broadcast at 8:30 PM this Friday (July 20.)
It's accompanied by another short, 'Moral Decay', which is an average ep overall. But I can recommend it for one scene which showcases a particularly hilarious example of Roger Jackson's vocal versatility*- you'll know it when you see it (or rather, when you hear it.) * And that's against some pretty stiff competition! They really ought to give that guy an Annie.

Thanks, SL, but still one thing...
...I (still) don't have cable. Or know anyone who does around here...thus, I'll have to wait until it comes out on video/I make another trip to my mother's house out-of-town or something to see it...but thanks, anyway!
-B. Who has seen the PPG pop-tarts commercial (with a nonspeaking Mojo showing up)...

Aha! There it is!
I just logged in when suddenly, the pop tarts commercial came on TV! How ironic! Anyway, he isn't exactly mute....he just doesn't speak at all. I give it a D. It's too short!

For the Powerpuffers out there
There's a poll at the Animation/General Topics board about who is the sexiest Girl...Buttercup ran away with nearly 24 percent of the vote--but the scariest thing is that Mojo Jojo grabbed nearly half!
I think a big part of it is the Girls' voices--E.G. Daily (Buttercup) and Tara Strong (Bubbles) are hot little numbers, and if an episode is ever made with adult Girls, the animators would do well to model each one after her respective v.o.a. That oughta hold the little drooling fanboy buggers! [imitating whining computer geek in "Collect Her"] In "Candy With Dandy" Blossom clearly says that the Girls aren't allowed sweets....but Bubbles is clearly chewing gum in "Just Another Manic Mojo", which puts Blossom's claim at odds...also, after "Mojesha" exposes the Girls to Antidote X before the girls at the slumber party beat him with pillows...but it ends very abruptly with no explanation as to how the Girls get their powers back. Was that just cherry Kool-Aid in the beaker or something? Inquiring minds want to kn-- [FUZZY LUMPKIN sneaks up behind the GEEK and smashes him with a large boulder in mid-rant.] FUZZY: Shaddap!

(Fanboy answer: it's been pretty well established that exposure to Chemical X gives you powers. The Girls probably have Chemical X Popsicles in the fridge, just in case....) Brainatra, get a dish. These discussions would be more fun if you could see the show.

To Dr. Belch: As to the gum, maybe it was sugarless. I've never considered it candy myself. As to how they recovered, if worse came to worse, the Professor would've come up with something, & failing that there's the all-purpose solution: the pot hole.
To Brainatra: Ditto to what don jaime said. When Super Zeroes aired there was something missing from the discussion without your DC Comics expertise. Did I mention Blossom took on the identity Liberty Belle? And I don't mean from All Star Squadron either. Post #200 for me btw, guys & gals. When I reached 200 on the old boards I made quite the pretty little speech, but right now I just don't have the time. Maybe when I reach 500. Catch y'all later.

It may be scary, but I'm not surprised. It's probably his Bad Boy appeal, combined with that Voice. > We don't see how Mojo escapes and rebuilds VMO at the end of each episode to set up for his next appearance. < What does VMO stand for? BTW: *I'd* like to know how he turned back into a chimp after the two Annubis Head episodes.

If Dish-es were Horses (DS9 reference, *oooh*...)
Can't afford a satellite dish either, even if it wasn't a violation of my apartment building's rules regarding such objects...
Still, I guess it would be nice to be able to participate in such inane superheroic discussions....maybe one of these days I'll be able to spring for cable... And as long as someone mentioned it: Liberty Belle in DC Comics was a minor superheroine from the 1940's, who IIRC had super-strength/speed/flight powers(?). Was a member of the "All Star Squadron", a loose collection of every active superhero in the United States during the Second World War, under the orders of FDR; the All-Stars dissolved when the war ended (though since the group also included by default members of the coexisting Justice Society, those that were JSA-ers stuck together...). Enemies of the Squadron included Per Degaton (time-travelling guy from 1947), Baron Blitzkrieg, and the usual 40's-era DC Comics villains (immortal caveman-turned-modern-day-schemer Vandal Savage, the Brain Wave [a short bald guy who wanted to take over the world....and no, Sharklady, he didn't have any dimwitted sidekicks AFAIK, though one of his enemies IIRC was Johnny Thunder, who's pretty close to Pinky in the IQ department...], etc.). All Star Squadron was published by DC in the early to mid-80's (the team itself wasn't an actual 1940's-era comic, but merely a modern-day creation that took place in that era, and used the actual comics published during the time to set up its plots/background...). -B. Still wants to see "Meet the Beat-Alls"...guess there's video to wait for...or play my Beatles CD's to looped footage of Mojo Jojo from that pop-tarts ad or something :-)

Actually, Wakko pulling his shirt up was one of the "favored" pieces of recycled stock footage that KWB used to use for those lame promos all the time...it was right up there with those "Warners singing and dancing in place" (yanked from that "Scooby Doo" parody in "Back in Style") and "Pinky laughing"/"Brain clutching his fist in the air" (yanked from...uh...I guess from any random PatB episode) bits...

> If you like, Brainatra, I can make you a transcript.
That's OK....I think I can wait for it to come out on video... < Anyway, that ep would lose something without the visuals. Particularly, the album-cover takeoffs, and the look on Mojo's face when he first lays eyes on ... no, I'd better not give it away. Last edited by Sharklady; 07-21-2001 at 10:57 PM.
