And a hearty welcome home

[kitewithfish]

Well, I am utterly tired and exhausted in a way that I before would only associate with finals period at home and/or a really great cast party.

I just took my Textanalyse final, and while there were indeed moments that were just sucky, I clearly demonstrated that, yes! I do know things about poetry, and the measurements thereof! I can tell you something about the struktur of the Rückwendung in this Ausschnitt, and jetzt mache ich das! Seid ihr nicht zufrieden? Ruhe! Ich habe genug von eure Dummheit!

O, mein Gott, ich kann nicht heute Englisch sprechen. Es ist mir so müde heute, ich habe einfach nicht genung geschlafen, mein Wecker ist um 5 Uhr bereit und ich bin davor aufgewacht. Es tut mir Leid, alle, aber ich muss mal schlafen. Vielleicht mehr darüber später aber nicht bis heute Abend am frühstens.

Aye, I cannot fault childhood loves. And really, the way you describe the relationship between Eddie and symbiote does sound delightful indeed.

Hey, as long as it's better than the 90's SPIDER-MAN (spider blood, spider blood, radioactive spider blood...) TV show. Which wouldn't be much of a stretch. God, it burned even back then, and watching reruns now, more than ever I just want B:TAS to somehow transcend television physics to kick its ass and burn the negatives.

Spectacular Spider-Man is far far better. It's as though the 90's version were the rough draft and this the finished copy. (Though in either case I miss the new comics interpretation of Aunt May as a badass. She translates to a rather frail old woman on screen.)

Augh. Yeah, 90's Spider-animation just kind of burned. Thing is, even the mediocre animation and the dull voice work could have made for a decent show if only the massive censorship hammer had not come down on the show so mightily. The laser guns for beat cops and the vampires that hungered for "plasma" (wink wink nudge nudge) through perforated palms just beat any long-term redeeming qualities out of the show.

B:TAS can be watched at any stage in life, even years later. It's possibly the best way to introduce kiddles to Batman; 90's Spider-Man never dreamed so high and stooped much lower.

God, you read my mind, right down to the lasers and "plasma." What the hell, censors? What the hell? I think around that time there was also an X-MEN episode set in a small Latveria-type European village where even the villagers had laser cannons.

Honestly, I worry sometimes that there will be kids who hold on to THE BATMAN with as much passion mixed with nostalgia as we do with B:TAS. I sure as hell hope not. If I ever have kids, you can bet I will start them off early on with B:TAS and only the original STAR WARS trilogy.

We hold onto B:TAS because there's inherent value. Perhaps the motivation to start rewatching something is nostalgia, but if the show sucks, you won't make it through the first episode. B:TAS bears rewatching well into one's adulthood because it rocks.

Well, make sure they see episodes iv-Vi at home, and then just lie to them for the next thirty years about the new trilogy's existence. "No, no, episode one is just a myth that people made up scare little nerdlings." This will deprive them of Darth Maul, but ultimately lead to a better life for everyone.

Damn straight! B:TAS holds up beautifully. Well, many/most of them. There always are some dubious episodes in any TV series. But really, the majority of those characters' voices... those ARE the voices I hear when I read Batman comics. I actively dream about getting Richard Moll to perform sections of the Harvey Dent novel (and maybe getting Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill to provide cameos).

Word to SW. You know the worst part? I've heard tell of little kids watching both trilogies and vastly preferring the new one. Which makes horrible, horrible sense, the kind of sense you wish weren't true. All the more reason to shelter them, for their own good.

Word. Mark Hamill is the Joker. Screw Nicholson (er, not literally), HAMILL is the joker.

This is the reason we don't let children make decisions for themselves: they make the wrong ones. (Tho New!Yoda kicks some serious full-sized ass.)
