Yeah. I think they really dumbed it down, personally.
But if anyone could revitalize it AND be evil enough to kill the thread at Yuletide, it would be a legacy supervillain!

This was my all-time favorite Sesame Street segment!

I can't figure out why they needed to give Emma crystal-type powers when she was already almost as powerful a telepath as Jean/Phoenix.
Of course, if she fried Elmo's brain nobody would know the difference. Feh.

Cleome, the diamond powers were because the writer needed a way for her to survive the attack on Genosha by a newer, deadlier model of Sentinels.

Confession time: I had to look up who Emma Frost was. I am fairly clueless when it comes to Marvel characters.

I used to be the world's biggest Marvel-head, but this go-round I'm really only interested in Daredevil.
One of their former editors making an ass of himself on Twitter last month didn't exactly give me warm fan-fuzzies, either.

I don't think it's anything in particular about Marvel, Fanfie, other than I feel a strong loyalty to DC. I think I'd feel I was betraying the DCU or something. It's a habit of a lifetime that I don't think I could change.

Have you watched the any of Marvel's recent movies? What I like about Marvel is their character and team designs, while I feel DC has better stories.

I've seen some of them, but I wait to see them on DVD from the library. It's weird, I know, but I've been a loyal DC fan since the old Super Friends show in the '70s.

Super Friends was my introduction to the whole superhero thing. I'm particularly fond of the next-to-last season. Frank Welker and Rene Auberjonois did wonderful voice acting as, respectively, Darkseid and DeSaad.

You know I love that show, Fanfie. I think Wonder Twin Zan was one of my first cartoon crushes.

For some reason, the scene where Darkseid and his minions are at a an intergalactic crime action and he bids "one bleen" on the item he wants has always stood out in my memory!
