I want to thank y’all for pointing out Brother Blood’s snake mask, something I never saw until today & I’ve owned these books for decades.
Gasp!
Another great episode.
During the episode, when discussing Breathtaker – Shotgun: I can call a loser ‘hot’
Every guy listening: So you’re saying there’s a chance!
That was THE moment.
Minor thoughts:
Siskoid – is Broot a ‘pragmatic Broot’ like whoever that Serpent Squad guy was?
Brother Blood – I also never quite understood why you would have a kid if you knew the kid would kill you.
Remind me?
The Rattler – you called him a ‘pragmatic brute’ which amused me … my comment on that show’s page:
Rattler: out of this whole episode, the thing that struck me the most were the words ‘pragmatic brute’. As I was driving in I was thinking ‘what does that mean’. Does he say to himself ‘it isn’t practical for me to beat you up now, but I will later’? Or is it more ‘the most pragmatic way for me to kill you is to choke you out with my tail rather than use it to throw a car at you, so I’ll do it that way?’ I was so caught up in trying to decipher it that I was lost in my thought and had to rewind the podcast. Then I wondered ‘what if it describes his love-making style’? These are the things this show does to my mind!
Right! Sorry, I’m juggling a lot of ballcasts.
No worries.
And thanks to you ‘pragmatic brute’ is part of my lexicon now.
Wild.
It’s probably true to say that I utter so much nonsense any given week that I can’t remember it all.
I always thought Brother Blood had a cool visual, but it seemed a bit too overtly “evil” to be used for a character who is supposed to be leading a religion that subtly pulls in unsuspecting, vulnerable people. The warning signs are right there in the skull helmet and the name, people! And yes, why not just skip siring kids if they are going to kill you? To me, his stories were always the least interesting to me in the Wolfman/Perez Titans run. And then after Perez left, that storyline in the Baxter book ran on FOREVER. The Trial of the Flash seemed short by comparison!
I’ll make another plug for My Adventures with Superman, as Brain and Mallah are very prominent in this new season!
I also don’t have any brothers, and I won’t really answer Siskoid’s question either and just ramble about names: I was supposed to be Michael and at the last minute my name was changed. In that moment, a rivalry was born. Eff you cooler, sexier Chris Pine.
I think I would have liked to be a Lester. There aren’t really any Lesters around anymore. My grandfather’s name was Lester. But everyone called him Charlie. There must have been a lot of Lester discrimination in the 50s.
Breathtaker- I like a villain who brings their own chair. He would get invited to the barbecue.
Bronze Tiger: I’m a fan of a martial arts master with an earring. But having an earring makes it hard for me to buy a tortured back story. I can’t picture someone brooding into a mirror about their past while also delicately putting in an earring.
Broot: see Bronze Tiger, this is how you do a tragic back story. Family killed. Planet nuked. Bronze Tiger is all like “Oh I was brainwashed” His kid doesn’t even get named in his entry!
Lastly, The vegan/vegan thing was amazing. I could have listened to that for an hour.
