Never read the comics. Thought the old Super Friends GL was lame but the current animated JLA GL kicks ass. Though the fact that his name is John Stewart always gives me pause since my first association of that name is with the comedian. Agree with ita's assessment, though, that if he had the yellow weakness he'd just beat the yellow-wearing mook senseless with his fists or other handy objects.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Me, too, especially since GL seems so uniformly humorless.

I have a plan.
Though the fact that his name is John Stewart
He was a GL in the comic-verse as well. I don't like the animated GL at all. I think he's horribly done and unimaginative with the use of his power. Block. Wall. Dome. That's about it for his repertoire.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I'm all kinds of nervous about the "Serious" Space Ghost mini that's coming out. It seems like a train wreck waiting to happen.
Is this like the "Serious" Sealab 2021 where they just had the new voices over a condensed version of one of the old Sealab 2020 episode? Or is this a comic book, or ?

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
Speaking of Space Ghost CTC and Sealab 2021, has anyone seen Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law? Done by the same guys (at least, the ones who do SGCTC) it is hysterical. Well worth watching if you have TiVo or are very, very alert (same kind of deal as the other two - 15 minute eps that air completely randomly as far as I can tell).
[ETA way upstream in some thread, may have been this one, it was mentioned that the Sealab 2021 theme rocks. I don't know if I was caught up in time to brag namedrop mention that I know the girl who wrote & sings it. Her band is called calamine and they are great.]

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out
Space Ghost.
Ah, thanks. I've definitely heard of him.
J'onn, maybe?
I think so. I've only seen the JL a few times, but he's never doing much in the ones that I've seen. I'm not even sure that I've seen him talk.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Harvey Birdman is great. And the Sealab 2021 theme rocks

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Harvey Birdman is not actually done by Williams Street.
eta: or maybe it is.
eta2: the pilot was. the other eps not.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
