Alejandro VidalGUEST
This is, it's very fun because when I was researching about the movie, I mean, practically my only reference at that moment was this book about the animation history in Mexico.
Alejandro VidalGUEST
This guy, this scholar, he was putting these movies like, oh my goodness, they are perfect examples of technical and in of technique and everything but the thing is I mean I understand where he comes from because he's thinking like they look essentially like Hanna-Barbera cartoons but in Mexico at that time this is something I say in my essay in Mexico at that time Hanna-Barbera In Mexico, they were like outsourcing some processes from this very famous series like the Super Friends, Scooby-Doo, Rocketball, Winkle, and so on.
Alejandro VidalGUEST
I mean, so they had some idea of how to copy the style, yeah? And that's why they look like Saturday morning cartoons, as they called it, as one would say.
Alejandro VidalGUEST
But for me, it's, I mean, they are fine.
NickHOST
no green
MarkHOST
a lot of normies of a certain generation all watch super friends whether they cared about comments or not because there's like there's a lot of stuff out there
DJ LinksHOST
so for the normies right let's just say we're all normies dc characters give me like your order so like the top eight characters just in order that you think people would know them remy cute
Remy QHOST
what the hell's a normie
MarkHOST
That's literally the outfit.
MarkHOST
It was like 100% comic accurate.
DJ LinksHOST
Everybody knows Aquaman from the old school Super Friends cartoon.
DJ LinksHOST
Yeah, he
EthanHOST
It's a really weird wipe that they use over and over again.
EthanHOST
It reminds me of the stars going by on Super Friends.
EthanHOST
Or the flipping Autobot and Decepticon symbol.
MikeHOST
Yeah.
Jeff MayHOST
And that's its own thing.
Jeff MayHOST
And then, of course, Super Friends having a comic book publishing thing and everything like that.
Jeff MayHOST
But that's still just the Justice League, right? So the maximum crossovers that you had up to that point were things like Justice League and Avengers.
Dre AlvarezHOST
Yeah, and so by the way, this is a challenge I love throwing to Jeff on the show, as people who've listened know.
54 MINS LATER
Jeff MayHOST
So it's kind of the opposite of the Super Powers line.
Jeff MayHOST
Because the Super Powers book is nothing.
Jeff MayHOST
It might as well be episodes of Super Friends.
Jeff MayHOST
It's just kind of like whatever.
CalebHOST
That fails.
CalebHOST
And so they decide, "Okay, we need to break out the big guns." We've got this, this Apache chief character from, uh, Super Friends, [laughs] this Guy Walker who's an indigenous character who I guess grows bigger and bigger as the movie goes on seemingly.
CalebHOST
And I think maybe he's another one of their bioweapons I wasn't fully sure.
CalebHOST
[laughs] But they're like, "Okay, this guy will take him on." And we get some big battles, the characters die, and that's- that's kind of it.

IsaacHOST
... 'cause I'm just like, oh, these are, uh, physics defying, uh, actions.
IsaacHOST
But again, we're talking about cartoon land here, or at least anime land.
CalebHOST
Yeah, but I'm curious if you, if you had, 'cause I know you don't watch as much Super Friends crap as I do, but were you thinking of Apache Chief when it seemed like Walken, like every scene he seemed to get bigger and bigger? I was like, "What's going on with this guy?"
IsaacHOST
Well, it's, it's f- So to answer your question, no, I was definitely not thinking of it.
Erick MariekoreGUEST
no that movie wasn't great the story wasn't that great it was kind of cheesy and they were just too happy like the movie was actually made for kids eh like for young young kids because yeah the animes are totally different pace man it is like really brutal kind of similar to the tv show actually lanterns so yeah
Cam SchusterHOST
my history of the Green Lantern character dates back to when I was a kid and I only had one comic that had the Green Lantern in it but it was part of a comic called Super Friends
Erick MariekoreGUEST
oh okay
Cam SchusterHOST
and it had it was like a Justice League with the main superhero like Superman Flash Hawkman Wonder Woman and the Green Lantern
SeanHOST
Cause I seen it online going for like 150 bucks and I got it for half way, way half of that.
SeanHOST
So I got the super friends DC lunchbox.
AlilHOST
Yeah.

R. Scott ClarkHOST

R. Scott ClarkHOST
My child asked me whether Jesus could have made mistakes.
Marc Tyler NoblemanGUEST
They're just not they're not complex stories.
Marc Tyler NoblemanGUEST
And they're, you know, a lot of and in some cases, you know, especially with the Super Friends, the superhero cartoon that I love.
Marc Tyler NoblemanGUEST
the personalities were almost non-existent.
Marc Tyler NoblemanGUEST
It was just a bunch of blank slates doing good things.
Matt SpectroHOST
If it was up to me, they'd probably be up at the top.
Matt SpectroHOST
I won't be counting Super Friends as a whole, but I'll be counting the legendary of the Super Powers season and the Galactic Guardians season, I think it's called.
Matt SpectroHOST
Just because those were in the 80s, I won't be counting it as a whole.
Matt SpectroHOST
It is a tough call.
