How to Explain What the Deal Is with "The Avengers"

February 11, 2022 by Scott Meyer

To be fair, two years before Super Friends launched, DC did address somewhat grittier subject matter.

My favorite thing about that cover is that Green Lantern is being such a jerk about it. I’m amazed he didn’t use his ring to make a giant green hand pointing at Speedy with the words “Dope Fiend.”

Also, you’d think Speedy would have been on amphetamines. Just saying.

How to Remain Optimistic

January 19, 2022 by Scott Meyer

If we ever create an artificial intelligence that is truly superior to us, it may well keep us around to make itself feel superior. It also may to try to improve us, in the spirit of helping the less fortunate.

Imagine a future where robots constantly criticize us or instruct us how to do things, then smother us with condescending praise as we try to follow their advice.

I might prefer extermination.
