I enjoyed the 1st episode of season 2 of Who Wants To be a Superhero? They’ve obviously got a bigger budget with more special effects and a longer season. I liked the fact that no one was eliminated right off the bat as happened last year. It’s kinda sad that we never got to know Levity, from season one, because he was kicked off so soon. So it’s nice that everybody got a real chance this time around. With an expanded season, it seems like there will only be one elimination per episode. That’s a good too because it will be more difficult to figure out who has been kicked off ahead of time.
1st impressions:
Basura: Weird arty girl that you wanna get to know.
Braid: bored homemaker, good costume.
The Defuser: Cop guy who took Superhero “values” to heart.
Hygena: Funny homemaker, this season’s fat mama.
Hyper-Strike: amped up wild man with real skills
Mindset: the stereotypical comic fan, classic scifi silver age hero
Mr. Mitzvah: Spoiled rich guy with interesting personality quirks.
Ms. Limelight: Miss Airhead, but nice enough.
Parthenon: sorta classic golden age style mystical hero.
Whip-Snap: down on her luck, gal who is glad to be here.
The fact that feedback went around and told everyone they were on the show was a nice touch, with Whip-Snap’s reaction the best of the bunch.
Should I guess who is gonna get kicked off next? I’m really terrible at that sort of thing but I’ll say Ms. Limelight is gone next time around.
I watched some of the coverage of Comic Con on G4. It was nice to see the reveal with the news that Karen Allen will be in Indy 4. Maybe there’s hope Lucas won’t screw this up… …maybe. Here’s the vid:
I’m also getting excited about the special edition DVD of Blade Runner, but the interview with Ridley Scot was kinda lame.
The Neil Gaiman interview was much better and now I’m looking forward to both Beowulf and Stardust.
Some of the hosts on G4 show are irritating with their fake enthusiasm and no comic book knowledge comments.
I was also happy to learn from Heidi MacDonald’s blog that Mark Waid is now the editor-in-Chief of Boom! Studios. They’re making big waves with great comics, why not bring on a big name.

It's a good sign that Lucas wasn't there.
I wonder if Lucas heard Spielberg's "I'm making this for the fans" comment and thought to himself "Why would anyone ever cater to their fanbase? You make just as much money crapping all over them."
You know Lucas was caught on the set of that film with wearing a "Han shoots first" t-shirt so maybe he's turning over a new leaf. Here's to hoping...
Lucas... blah, blah, blah, ...that's what I'm gonna name my next case of VD
