So now you know that stuff
Welcome to my head
Your head is messed-up Bob
But then again so are comic books.
One day things will get really weird, when japanese manga enters this show. I knew about the dispute, but not about how weird was Cp Marvel (both) comics were.
Manga series can be weird, but have nowhere near the continuity problems since most series are stand alone. And Continuity problems are the pride of American Comics. Now Japan, they've got other things going for them, ever heard of Narutaru/Shadow Star? Nuff said.

Dude, I love these comics themed episodes. I love this series, even more than Escape to the Movies. And you know, I actually only heard of Captain Marvel a few months ago when I picked up my roommate's copy of MKvsDCU. But then I found a short animated origin story involving superman and Black Adam. It. Was. Awesome.

...SHAZAM!!!

I am beginning to think Bob is reading my blog, I wrote a 1,500 word bit on the SHAZAM side of things 12 days ago. Some fun things he left out: Mister Mind, a caterpillar super villain wearing a tiny radio that projects his voice, the bug that burrows into your ear, controls your actions and eventually matures into a giant monster that eats time streams; Black Adam, a middle eastern super hero that has a SHAZAM set of powers that coordinate to a middle eastern pantheon and is a morally ambiguous rival to Captain Marvel; and Tawky Tawny, a were-Tiger that assists Captain Marvel by dressing like Jimmy Olsen. Comics are weird.

Also I want to recommend "Superman/SHAZAM: The return of Black Adam" the Bruce Timm animated movie that is currently on Netflix instant que.

Bob so has to give Ms. Marvel/Warbird her own episode, that girl's been through so much:(

If anyone's uninformed as to the comic book atrocities comitted against female characters check out Gail Simone's site 'Women in Refrigerators' in which the Green Lantern's girlfriend was.... stuffed into a refrigerator:) Just to give him a reason to go after some guy called 'Major Force' (?) URL: http://www.unheardtaunts.com/wir/index.html

@DanDeFool- which just goes to show there are other military titled supercharacters who don't use 'captain'.

I would like to see the big picture creating a spin-off in 'Bob's Speech Bubble', just sticking with the comic based weirdness. Not that the other episodes aren't excillent, but these comic book background episodes are really interesting and have made comic books a reasonable talking point with my mates:D

Quite amusing. Not enough yelling SHAZAM!!! though.
Still doesn't make up for the biased trollfest you had for the last 2 shows.

okay... so... can you then explain to me why in the trailer (the full pre-rendered) DC-universe online, on the "Lex Luther side", why is "Cap-Marvel (the DC one, of course)" on the bad guy's side? because I AM SOOOOO SURE that B4 the "NUKE BOOM", he said "SAHZAM" then "BOOM" it went... WHO WAS THAT ONE? it can't be the "kid" could it?

Nice informative episode by the way...
That was Black Adam, a DC villain/occasional anti-hero who shares his powersource and magic word.
THX... I JUST wiki it up... THX

Why did I need to know that? Oh well just another thing to add to my compendium of completely useless and yet interesting facts. This is going right next to aglets. Good video though.

Bob. I'm going to stop watching your shorts if you keep filling my mind with UTTERLY useless information. Seriously. I've probably unlearned something important to make room for that shite.

Alright Bob, I appreciate these episodes and realize this is your soapbox but... Could we step out of the Comic Book store for a bit?
Honestly I love Bob's opinions on Pop-Culture, Comics, and ESPECIALLY Movies, but when he tends to veer away from those things to talk about politics and surprisingly even videogames, he gets biased and tends to forget the difference between opinion and fact. Kinda like Dennis Leary. At one point his comedy was dark and edgy, now he just kinda sounds like a cranky old man, and it's disappointing and kinda embarrassing for me to call myself one of his fans.

I like Bob, and his COMICS ARE WEIRD episodes. IMHO they keep him from becoming the Glen Beck of Escapist ;)
I'm fine with it as long as it has some sort of tie in with something relevant. I feel like the only people who this episode was relevant to are hardcore comic book fans, and those people probably already know all about it. If he talked more about how the trademark system is strange or unfair in The Big Picture of things (see what I did there?), then it would make his whole spiel a lot less random.

Though I totally agree with you about Bob's political stuff. It's generally completely baseless opinion. His thing on genetically engineered food was just flat out WRONG.

Captain Marvel, meet Captain Marvel.

You don't seem to like Captain Mar-Vell or Ms. Marvel a lot?

Kind of a shame, becasue they are two of my favorite Marvel Characters.

But yes you forgot a few incarnations of the Marve Captain Marvel:

During Secret Invasion there was a Skrull that believed he was Mar-Vell for real, so he is considered one of the Captain Marvels. Also Ms. Marvel Went by the name during House of M.

Havent read the latest ot he cosmic marvel stuff, but last I saw there was an Evil Alternetive Universe Captain Mar-vell running around.
You're missing out. The cosmic stuff has been an almost non-stop run of brilliance from Annihilation to The Thanos Imperative. It really demonstrates the type of positives that can come from one creative team given plenty of time and space (no pun intended) to play around with.

[and before someone nit-picks me, I know DnA didn't do the original Annihilation]

So; Billy Batson's superpower is being a boy who can turn into a 30-something man and vice-versa? I don't care how marketable that is, it's icky.
Especially when in one of the comics, he gets "friendly" with (not sure if he actually dates) a superhero girl (Stargirl) who's about the same age as he is in non powered boy mode. I think he gets accused of the dreaded P word somewhere in there too.

Not a bad list of powers to draw from. Though, he's only come up in one comic I've ever read, so I still don't know who the hell he is.
