Perhaps another campy offering from the 70s can act as a palette cleanser?
I loved that show! I'd totally forgotten how damn disco the theme was, though.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
JLU was very sad. But I just don't get Superman going off like that.

Seriously, ita. It was like supermanisadick.com come to life. Or, well, not life. Animation. Whatever.

I thought there was going to be a revelation (as there usually is at supermanisadick.com, I've assumed) that something was manipulating him -- some magic or science or something. Nothing as mundane as what we got. It's all pointing somewhere very Justice Lordy, I assume.

It's very reminiscent of that verse from "Dancing Machine" that goes
Automatic, systematic, full of color self contained...
I think the Jackson 5 should have sued.

About halfway through, I was thinking the same thing. And yet -- turns out that Supes is just a pissy little bitch.

Was JLU an hour this week? It seems like my recording cut off abruptly, I expected there to be more Billy Batson/Supes interaction. Instead I just got Lex Luthor mwah-ha-haing with Amanda What's-Her-Name about his plan working better than he thought.

Theo, it was only 30 minutes. It ended with Luthor and Amanda mwah-ha-haing over champagne.

The episode just felt unbalanced, like the plot was just getting started. I really expected more of a reaction when Superman found out that instead of a Clark Kent, Marvel's alter-ego was a kid -- and one stuck in kid-dom, am I correct?

I was wondering if Supes already knew that Cap's alter-ego was a kid, because, yeah -- he didn't seem surprised at all. But then, he was pretty focused on being a great big jerk, so maybe he just didn't have any emotional energy left to be surprised.
