I feel the exact same way everytime someone mentions the episode "Clash".
Superman is a total dick in this episode for no reason other then Luthor is running for president. And anyone with half a brain could have told him that, "Hey maybe ripping apart the whole city brick by brick might make you look like a total prick, while making Lex look like victim of some crazied superhero."
Is there a religion based around the New Gods in the DC universe? Aside from the mindless servitude of Darkseid thing, that is.
haha
that reminds me of that girl from runaways who was mad about her parents making her go to church so when she ran away she decided to worship thor instead
This is the second wasp that's been in our house in a like a month and a half. The first one was in the dishwasher, and was subsequently covered in soap.
ALSO did you move recently?
because you might want to take a poke around, it sounds like there might be a nest in your house

I love Clash because that fight is the most awesome fight. In the world.
I forgive Clash's nonsensical plotline. It's really the only way to get to the point where the two boyscouts SMASH EACH OTHERS FACES. Damn if it isn't the best fight evar*.
By evar I mean tied with Superman v. Darkseid ala Destroyer

FOREVER.
Sharif don't like it.
...neither do I. I hate Superman and Captain Marvel is frankly all the worst things about Superman except worse. It's the only episode of the series that I've only seen once. It's nice that they have someone within the league pointing at Superman's failings other than Batman, but Captain Marvel ends up being naive enough to fuck up his end of the argument.

But when all those buildings start crumbling and the hospital goes smashing down and he rips the playground apart, I just can't watch it.
And when I do watch it, I'm yelling at my TV the entire time, "Stop it! Stop it you morons, goddammit, stop it!"
That too, except I don't yell at screens. I find throwing things at them or shooting things at them to be far more satisfying. There's definitely a lot of "Come on, Superman, I know Captain Marvel is a dumbass but what the fuck are you doing? Haven't you been played enough times by this point in the DCAU continuity to know when Lex is up to something?"
Oh wow, I just read through this whole thread in one sitting and I could not stop laughing.
I look forward to reading your next review, Jordyn!
Also, I will be going to hell very soon because I have to write a DCAU fic as a present to someone in a way that will violate my very being and make me cry tears of blood as I type. But I will save you the pain.
If I was Lex and they asked me why I had an escape route, I'd just say "Uh, in case any super-powered psychos start tearing the place apart, of course. My people thought I was just being paranoid, but I look pretty damn smart now, don't I?"

Jordyn, do a review for "Target" from STAS. Because then we can talk about how a guy tried to kill Lois because he was apparently the only man in Metropolis she'd used as an informant without giving him a blowjob in return.
Harrier on
I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.
Superman finds himself up against some goddamn magic and only Doctor Fate can help. I love Fate. He is so awesome.
The Superman theme song is super fun to sing along to. If you know the words.
...
That we made up. Which I'm not gonna tell you no matter how much you ask.
...
Ok, so that bridge part? Right? Sing This is the girl he likes,
he rescues her,
And Jimmy Olson,
he takes pictures ooooooof....
And then, ya know, SUPERMAAAAAAAN!
All right enough singing.
A guy robbing an archeaology place finds this thing which has a bunch of codes to give you extra lives and unlimited ammo without reloading.
And oh big shocker here, it turns him into this monster dude, the Karkull. Fucking brilliant, guy.
And here's another mind-blowing turn of events, the monster ends up at the Daily "Our shit is always getting wrecked" Planet.
He puts a magic force field around it so crap, Supes can't get in. Then this kooky broad shows up.
This really dates the episode. I mean, now we have the internet to keep these people inside.
Supes decides crazy broad ain't gonna do much and runs off to get Doctor Fate instead, who informs Supes that he has retired and is now keeping his helmet under this glass bell jar.
Supes is upset at Fate's decision to play golf with old people rather than fight evil monsters. "I'm a glutton for punishment, why can't you be one too?" So he runs off to fight Karkull by himself even though he can't even get in the damn building, so I don't know what his plan was.
Fate's wife, Inza, stops Superman in time to give him this mystical olive.
Wonderful.
Here take this magic martini too, we shook it up in the helmet.
OTHER LESSER KNOWN USES FOR THE HELMET OF NABU
1. Martini Shaker
2. Place under glass, wait for it to glow (not neccessarily useful)
3. Lampshade (Note: Helmet makes a poor lampshade)
4. Popcorn bowl
5. Extinguish large candles (you know, like those things at church)
6. Flower pot
Karkull turns everyone in the Planet into monsters. The Lois monster even has Lois hair still. For some reason.
The Jimmy one doesn't have red hair, which I found disappointing.
So Fate shows up with a thing to beat Karkull but like a moron he drops it down a huge pit. Apparently his gloves are covered in Vaseline or he has the worst butterfingers out of anyone ever anywhere. Even worse than a few minutes earlier, where I should note, Superman dropped is damn magic olive.
Supes flies down to get it, while Karkull ties up Fate with his tentacle (there are A LOT of tentacles in this episode) and when Supes flies back with it, there was this moment where I seriously thought he was about to throw the thing at Fate. Who is tied up. That's how dumb I think Superman is. Thank god he didn't.
In the end, Karkull gets his slimy ass kicked, Fate decides to be Fate instead of collecting social security, and everything is cool.
YOUR HOMEWORK:
1. Think of other things the Helmet of Nabu could be used for.
2. Add humorous text to this image:

P.S. Nice sidestory about the wasp.

I don't have time to mention every single semi-celebrity that voices someone because I would be here all fucking day.
Plus I'm too busy cringing to listen to anything anyone says in this episode.

I preferred the Captain Atom/Superman one. Those hopeless "underdog fighting even though he knows he can't win" fights are always awesome.

Man, there are so many good episodes. I'm trying to decide what the top 10 are.
Double Date is a possibility.
I'm gonna do a Superman one, because I have not done ANY Superman ones yet.

Double date is awesome. Especially since you'll mention "Are we dead yet?"
