For anyone who is aware of what happened on the recent episode of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Episode that just Aired: [SPOILER] Spider-man, Betty Brant, and J Jonah all appeared on Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. And Grey Delisle and JK Simmons reprised their SpecSpidey roles as well...And Josh Keaton WOULD have reprised Spidey as well (seriously, the episode is a giant love letter to SpecSpidey, and I DO recommend watching it) But SOMEONE decided that Drake Bell should be Spidey, to promote USM.

So...All of Josh's lines were dubbed over. (Which Josh has confirmed on Facebook) And, well, frankly...I'M SERIOUSLY PISSED OFF. So, in addition to commenting on Joe Quesada's twitter, I'm trying to get the following two topics trending on Twitter: #JoshKeatonIsSpiderMan, and #DrakeBellIsNotSpiderMan. Please, everyone who was a fan of SpecSpidey, please help me in this endeavor. Maybe...Just maybe...We can get them to release the original Voice Recording...Hey...Hope springs eternal. [/SPOILER]

So...Who's with me?

I just noticed that TVGuide.com has Season 1 episodes listed under Season 2 by mistake (probably due to the large time break). I e-mailed their customer service department and asked them kindly to correct it.

Also, on the topic of how YJ is featured on other websites, has anyone gone to cartoonnetwork.com's YJ specific site? They have a characters section where they mini bios for Nightwing, Batgirl, Bumblebee, Robin, Miss Martian, Blue Beetle, and Beast Boy. I can forgive Mal Duncan not being listed, but no Lagoon Boy and Wonder Girl? That's a little unsettling. I sent them feedback as well.

I hope Greg rambles another YJ update soon. I wonder how many episode are in the can since his last update in April.

I agree that not hitting someone weaker than you is a matter of basic human decency, and shouldn't be about gender. I don't agree that the reason most television shows seem to refrain specifically (at least in my view) from having men hit women is about that principle, and hence the term "PC." To be honest, I don't think most other shows of the time would depict males and females fighting basically as equals, the way Gargoyles did. I'm not saying no show would. I'm sure I can name a few that did. But in my view, it was rare, and when it was done, it wasn't done with the same frequency as on Gargoyles, which in my opinion, ultimately led to having stronger female characters.

Johnny > I will get on that. Also, if someone could post the number again, I'll give them a call.

@Arlo - by and large, the "real men don't hit women" isn't a "PC" thing so much as a "basic-having-character" thing. Real men, or women, don't beat up on those smaller/weaker than them, whether that be male vs female (when by and large females are physically weaker than males), or if its a woman beating up a young boy, old man, person in a wheelchair, and so on and so forth. When people try and make it a gender thing is when it becomes nonsense, IMO. Its common decency - its a universal thing regardless of gender.
But in gargoyles it was always clear them females getting hit were warriors, and in many cases (such as Hyena with her added weaponry/robotics advantage, or Demona with her superior garg strength and/or skill as a warrior, that these were decidedly NOT instances where the female was at a physical disadvantage. Speaking of cuts, in COS they also cut the part where the Hunter punches Demona in the face on Macbeth's balcony, and that DOES make for an odd cut, flow-of-action wise.
I personally can understand why the cuts get made, but I think or at least hope a younger audience could understand or easily have explained why what's going on in this cartoon is apples and oranges compared to your more (regrettably common) garden variety dating/domestic violence scenario.

On the topic of the censoring the images of the gargoyles fighting women, I just have to point out the irony. Perhaps a big reason why Gargoyles turned out to be such a great show is precisely BECAUSE it had such strong female roles, and a big part of the reason they were able to make those women so strong was because they weren't afraid to let them get hit. Gargoyles would have been like a lot of other shows in that regard, which are limited in how interesting they can make their female characters be, because they don't want to show a male character hitting a female one. Maybe it's because the gargoyles are a different species that they were able to pull it off. I can't imagine Xanatos or Macbeth hitting a woman, yet they seem to have no problem fighting an opposite sex member of a different species, nor do the gargoyles (as when they fight with Hyena, for instance). I think this show would have been a lot more boring if they'd kept the standard practice most shows have of trying to reinforce the more PC "Real men don't hit women," rule.

Kind of sad that that's what Disney is choosing to censor now.

Bather: I was wondering if it might have to do with YJ, too ... and I'm only piecing this together because of the clip of the villian in this week's episode:

and no, we're not talking Super Friends here, but something older, more primal, something that was born back when the Ptero-whatever streaked across the sky leaving behind contrails made not of smoke but of pure and unadulterated grace, a commodity in which we are sorely shy as a planet, and yet which we find in the most unlikley of places ...

Possible spoiler?

[SPOILER] Anti-Monitor? And that which we lack (well, grace) but still find could be anti-matter? The villian looked a little like Anti-Monitor to me and ... it's Flash, and this season all the most terrifying canon is coming true ... Barrrry ;_; [/SPOILER]

Laura: I most recently did a round of deletions somewhere around last week Thursday or Friday.

Numbering questions and comments with the same numbering system is admittedly confusing at first sight, but as I read all posts thoroughly before deleting them, it isn't TOO much of an issue. Still, if you could, say, mark comments with "-" marks and questions with numbers, that'd make it a lot less confusing for me and less likely for me to mistake it for a post that contains more than five questions and thus delete it. Not saying that happens much or even at all, but I'll readily admit I'm as fallable as anyone.

As for that particular post, I'm afraid I cannot remember precisely why I deleted it. Please keep in mind that I processed about 500 questions on that night, and they do tend to get jumbled up in my head after a while.

Does that answer your queries sufficiently?

Did they get new animators between seasons? Or did I just misremember Season One's animation style?

Was there another round of deleting questions in the queu over the weekend? I asked a while back about my previously approved questions because it was my habit to number questions and thoughts- that is to say; a post containing 6 comments and 4 questions would number to 10. I've been checking in to see how my old comments fared and until today none got the ax. When I checked back today one is gone, but the rest remain.

IIRC correctly the whole bunch were posted in the short window when it was a limit of 10, and were 10 or less even when counting thoughts. But my recalling correctly is a big if.

{incidentally- what is the policy if the numbers include thoughts and questions? - I never did get an answer and just plan to switch to putting thoughts in ramble form until I hear it's safe to do otherwise.)

Now for the very big longshot...
If it was removed this weekend for a violation, do you by chance remember why? It was a reaction to Missing probably most notable for a detailed question on the effect of intent on the magic in the spell Klarion (which I mispelled Clarion) initiated to split the worlds and the fate of kids in plane and trains and whatnot. Parts have been since answered, but parts not. I'd like to repost it, but if the problem in more than just the number I'd like to know what to fix or remove.

Batman: If you submitted a post with over five questions then yes, I most likely deleted it. I'm afraid that the length of the individual questions is immaterial; the guidelines specify a maximum of five per post, and I am obligated to enforce the guidelines as they are written.

You are, of course, free to re-submit those questions as two separate posts. If none of them violate any further guidelines, I will approve them all.

Ninth.

I watched the first two episodes of Season Two of "The Spectacular Spider-Man" on YouTube over the week-end (haven't seen them before now because I don't have cable; I recently upgraded my Internet connection from dial-up to high-speed, though, so now I can watch YouTube properly). I enjoyed both, but the ending of the second episode reminded me of "Gargoyles".

[SPOILER] The mysterious "Master Planner" asks Kraven how he feels about "hunting in packs". It's a great way of bestowing an ominous ending - the hint of super-villain team-ups - but I thought when I heard it that Kraven does echo the Pack. He goes after Spidey for the same reason that the Pack originally went after the gargoyles - the "Most Dangerous Game" motive - and he gets turned into an animal-man, like Wolf. And he even gets photographs of Spidey at the start which inspire him to hunt the web-slinger, just as the Pack got photographs of Goliath at the start of "The Thrill of the Hunt". [/SPOILER]

"All Buday wants, the opportunity being and the porn posted by others, maybe NeoRhino.ca or theocrat? To respond to user 262 and 38 and 1196 and 1 fairness, that is fair, and respectful. Phylatician he is, not to use linear thinking only, perhaps you do not understand? Running Van-Bur 1996 BC REFORM and his mother Aletta, why insult you, hate women or possible women? Why make an issue, family of scientists, childhood auditions possible athletes, and lifelong users of safe needle site, Vancouver has, Calgary and Toronto do not? The left wing NDP Vision Vancouver and the Coalition of Progressive Electors (COPE) are not Anglicans, like GMC (Gordon Muir Campbell), Americans cannot have Campbell as a president, Anglicans fought against, or possible theocracy?"
