I kiss you!

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Now let's put it in the FAQ.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Turns out I do indeed hate The Storyteller, too.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Is that the one with John Hurt in a rocking chair with a dog?

― Huck, Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Yep. It's all dark and dour and grim, and his voiceover plays over almost everything. It looks like a bad Xerox of Terry Gilliam's cutting room floor.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

(Dark and dour and grim is fine when the stories are dark and dour and grim, but not when the story is "Stone Soup" and you just want to prove you can do a show without exploding fish or fraggles.)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

bbbut Hans my Hedgehog!

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

The Hedgehog looked creepy!

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:39 (twenty-one years ago)

C'mon how is this cree...

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

SEE?

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't everything that Jim Henson did outside of the Muppets creepy?

― Huck, Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Yoda's not creepy.

― Wooden (Wooden), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

The Henson creatures on Farscape are CREEPY.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

As is Dark Crystal, obv.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

There's good creepy and bad creepy. I don't like The Dark Crystal, but the creepiness is at least integral to the story, and I might like it if I'd seen it as a kid; ditto Labyrinth, which is a glossy pale creepy, not a dark grungy one. The Storyteller really does look like an amateur copy of Terry Gilliam's style, I'm not just being pithy -- but it doesn't fit many of the stories well.

(xpost, and yeah, Yoda's not creepy, although he scared me when I was 5. But I was 5!)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

The only things I remember being truly interesting, Muppet-wise, in the Storyteller were the devils. How does that one hold up?
(uh, off topic-I meant the Kill Bill Bill upthread, not you)

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:55 (twenty-one years ago)

And Yoda isn't a Jim Henson® puppet, is he?

― Huck, Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I think henson worked with ILM (not I Love Music, the other one) to create him. He's pretty Hensonesque.

― Wooden (Wooden), Thursday, 12 August 2004 19:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh that Bill! I just saw vol 2 today, too. Sheesh. I rescind the hey.

There are a couple episodes that weren't terrible -- the show itself isn't terrible, even, just ... poorly conceived. They could have picked material that suited the look better, or vice versa.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 12 August 2004 19:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Tep's retracted "Hey" will be replaced by "too-obscure-for-one's-own-good Simpsons references."

― Mr. Tony Plow (Leee), Thursday, 12 August 2004 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I would ask everyone to look through this list again. Does it seem odd to anyone else that Satan is #25 and Aunt Jemimah is #2?

I do agree w/#1, though. Good call.

― Vermont Girl (Vermont Girl), Friday, 13 August 2004 13:18 (twenty-one years ago)

The only oddity - Tep squeezed in two references to _The Alladin Effect_ (is that an old skool Marvel GN)? Why the hell doesn't Marvel reprint those old skool GNs, anyway? I never read THE RETURN OF THE LIVING MONOLITH, damn it!

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 13 August 2004 13:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you defending Aunt Jemimah, VG?

― Huck, Friday, 13 August 2004 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Yep, old school Marvel GN -- by Jim Shooter -- in which a little girl has these magical Beyonder-like "everything I wish for will happen" powers and uses them to summon up the Hot Chicks of the 80s Marvel Universe: Wasp, Tigra, She-Hulk, and Storm. They fight someone or something, and the All-Powerful Beyondrix goes off to train with someone or something, in order to master her powers.

Dude, I used to love those graphic novels. Emperor Doom! Heartburst, one of the non-MU ones, by Rick Veitch! (With protagonist Sunoco Firestone, on a world where everyone's named after brand names.) And the obvious ones, God Loves Man Kills, and the Death of Captain Marvel.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 13 August 2004 14:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Are we talking about the same woman? Yes, I'm defending her. I don't think she's more evil than SATAN.

― Vermont Girl (Vermont Girl), Friday, 13 August 2004 15:02 (twenty-one years ago)

― Vermont Girl (Vermont Girl), Friday, 13 August 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

You should see what she's done to my waistline. Evil and tasty, that woman.

― Huck, Friday, 13 August 2004 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Er, perhaps this is my fault and should have saved ol Luciferbritches for the top ten. But, mmm-mm pancakes!

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 13 August 2004 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I am addicted to French Toast Bagels. Sometimes, like today, for example, I eat them with butter and A.J. syrup. I feel like I'm in Motley Crue, as it's all so decadent.

― Huck, Friday, 13 August 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Hellboy 'Pancakes' to thread - the devil is WEAK AGAINST PANCAKES.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 13 August 2004 15:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Do you make them yourself, like battering bagels in egg? That never even occurred to me.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 13 August 2004 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I buy them by the dozen at Safeway. They're sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and have syrup deposits in them! And then I put more syrup on them. Because Aunt Jemimah is cruel mistress.

― Huck, Friday, 13 August 2004 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, has the devil been portrayed in more comics as a villain or as a (anti-)hero? Same question for God, I guess. Maybe this needs its own thread.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 13 August 2004 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Huck, that's beyond decadent and I never want to hear of it again.

(this from a man who's recently become addicted to sour cream pancakes)

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 13 August 2004 16:30 (twenty-one years ago)

http://www.comics.org/search.lasso?type=character&query=Satan&sort=alpha

― Huck, Friday, 13 August 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

If you count Mephisto, Satannish, and all the vague references to black magic and demonic forces (without necessarily showing a devil or Satan as a specific character), the bad's gotta outweigh the good. Whether or not to include them, though, I guess that's debatable.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 13 August 2004 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

How much of a place does the Abrahamic faiths God have in comics, (not creepy Jack Chick stuff) but the normal comic type-universe? What about cheese blintzes with sour cream cherry topping? Surely the ultimate food of the DEVIL!

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 13 August 2004 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I imagine the traditional Judeo-Christian idea of God would lose some of its power when you've got the likes of Galactus, the Phoenix force, the manifestion of the Norse pantheon, that mutant kid who had to be iced because he could alter reality with a thought, etc. all running around.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 13 August 2004 16:46 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe we should have another thread about Religion and mainstream-ish comics.

― Huck, Friday, 13 August 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)
