Paradox, baby. Can I call you Mr. Darcy? I'll call you Fitzgerald. Fitzy, are you sure you want Deadpool in the main timeline? Really? Has the mothers and fuckers of this honorable jury forgotten what happens to every other fish when you put a lionfish in their midst?

The lionfish eats them all.

Being Xavier's student must be awesome sometimes!

I mean, occasionally, during lessons, he'll pause, zone out, and then dismiss class for the rest of the day???

Sign me up!

i still can't believe dc comics just straight up put hadesgame theseus and asterius fighting wonder woman in lazarus planet (specifically in lazarus planet we once were gods).

now you'd have to pay me to get me to bother actually reading the entirety of this event but. "the doors of hades are flung open" and there goes zagreus. he's determined to make it to taco bell before he beefs it

what if truman from The Truman Show had just ended up being like

really boring?

like he was just literally a random baby when they got him. you have no idea what they'll grow into. he ended up being incredibly Cheerful and Quirky and waving at everyone and making faces into the mirror-he-doesn't know is a camera.

but they could have just gotten like. an introverted accountant who never emotes

what would they have even done?

Soul train 1994

[soleminisanction]

Putting together that list for the death of Superman introduced me to something I'd never heard of before, and now I need to do a write-up about it because it's just so 90s it makes me smile.

Picture this: it's 1993. Over in Japan, Sailor Moon has spent a little over a year rocketing up the charts as a full blown cultural phenomenon that won't slow down any time soon, and western companies want in. Only one company's going to score the license, however, and their first attempt at a localized adaptation (not a dub) was still a year away.

So what's everyone else to do? Make their own pretty fighting princess cartoons to merchandise, of course. And Mattel's first plan was to rope in DC Comics, since they already had the perfect superhero princess on hand.

Not Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld -- who, honestly, would've been an amazing fit for this in retrospect -- no no. Their plan: turn Wonder Woman into Sailor Moon.

Thus: Wonder Woman and the Star Riders.

I love how you can tell those designs were made for dolls because, just like the original She-Ra, they're about 50% hair.

Two of the other characters in this line-up are also adaptations of DC superheroines: Ice (in white/pink) and Dolphin (in blue) respectively. The other two characters, Solara (in yellow) and Star Lily (the token Black) were created for the series, though apparently Star Lily would go on to inspire a kid from the WW Rebirth comics named Star Blossom, so that's cute.

There was supposed to be a line of toys and a cartoon for this franchise, but the only thing that was ever completed was this one little 14-page comic released through a cross-promotion with Kellogg's Cinnamon Mini Buns cereal.

NGL, I find the silly little thing deeply amusing because it's just. So 90s, and so obviously written to sell toys. Like how it's set mostly in this "magical palace" mostly made up of big open rooms with like, one piece of furniture each (so you can more easily move to dolls around). Or how despite being called "the Star Riders" there's exactly two differently-colored pegasus-unicorns, one pink for Wonder Woman and one white for Dolphin, because they're presumably the most expensive dolls and parents will only be willing to spend so much money.

The villain, Purrisa, feels like they came at her from the angle of Magical Girl Catwoman. She gets to ride on a flying cowardly panther and wants to steal the heroines' magical macguffin gems because that's what the plot tended to be in these early 90s Sailor Moon rip-offs (including Sabon Moon, come to think of it).

It's interesting to see this rough approximation of early 90s girly comic art try to replicate the signature sparkles & laser beams style fighting of a magic girl battle show though.

And of course they give Diana a magic wand with a star on it. At least, I think that's what that is? The bottom kinda looks like an umbrella. Maybe she's supposed to be throwing something.

She still has the lasso. I mostly want to share this page because it's the best shots we get of Sailor Diana with the massive cape and even more massive hair. Not to mention the pink bracelets and Star Sapphire belt.

NGL, I kinda wish they would've made that doll.

So yeah, that's Wonder Woman and the Star Riders: goofy, fluffy, never got off the ground, with its toy designs mostly repurposed into something called Tenko and the Guardians of Magic. But still I think a very entertaining little time capsule.

Okay I can't not post this funny ahh conversation I had with @snipersiniora regarding this post

THIS WHOLE THING IS SO SILLY I LOVE ITTTTTT

Donatello wouldn't feel an ounce of guilt for getting Donnie grounded but Raphael would hate it and somehow manage to plead with Splinter to un-ground him 😂

(Later Donatello will just appear at an ATM on the surface and withdraw funds from some idiot billionaire. He could've done it any time but it's 1) more work and 2) harder to manifest when there's no other family around) (He could've just asked Donnie to come with him but he missed that chance, now the kid is mad at him and definitely will not help) (Meanwhile Leonardo got told what happened and he's just "???? why the HECK are they betting on my love life??????")

I wish I was a comic artist ahhghjhjgd this would be such a fun little thing to draw!!!

Vax being good with kids is something that is so important to me and will make me cry inconsolably every time I watch the first episode of season one of tlovm. Anyway!

Placing bets on the island like:

Will this meal make me sick?

Will John realise that we moved all the furniture a couple centimetres to the left?

Does M.A.X sink or float in water?

Will Brains finally snap and kill someone?

Completely unprompted but. Knowing Zabraks have two hearts for stamina/endurance reasons Maul's fighting style makes a lot more sense. He can jump around and do all his fancy flips because he doesn't get tired as fast as a human
