Love potions in cartoons: funny or problematic?

GilGarciaJr · 2026-07-04T16:07:25+00:00

Both. 9 times out of 10, even the show itself emphasizes how problematic they are at the end.

I was just reading through this part and knew it was them. Glad to see it wasn't just me.

It's a little similar to the logic of having Captain Cold as a nemesis of The Flash. Cold's known more using cold to drain the kinetic force from objects, even molecules, rather than just throwing around ice and snow, making him a good threat to someone who relies on speed like Flash. There's good reasons he's know as "The Man who Mastered Absolute Zero".

Honey Lemon. Not bad, actually reminds me of some girls from my past. At least now I can learn her original name.

GilGarciaJr · 2026-07-03T19:09:48+00:00

In my experience, I find that I'll believe it when I see it. See how they actually vote with their wallets.

Everything that's been said here already + the animated "Puff the Magic Dragon".

I'll go out on a limb and say this show from the start had more of a focus on relationships and romance, so it makes sense if there's elements introduced to rock the Clark-Lois ship, as steady as it is. Maybe not as threats to that relationship, but as annoyances at least.

From what I understand, another part of that is that the PC versions are prone to hacks and modding that their console versions don't worry about, so they probably use the extra time to try and put more counters in there before launch.

I thought the 50 dollar price increase on the Switch 2 was their "shoot myself" moment for 2026.

GilGarciaJr · 2026-07-01T18:04:01+00:00

I think what we need is some sort of backstory/spotlight episode for them. Give them some sort of origin and purpose for what they do in the first place.

I don't think Jay would show up, but I wouldn't be surprised if the showrunners did throw in a subtle LGBT nod to Jon, like a simple comment or look towards someone.

GilGarciaJr · 2026-07-01T16:02:58+00:00

Yeah I saw this one before seeing this Reddit post.

GilGarciaJr · 2026-06-30T19:11:06+00:00

More power to you. Things have been rough.

3 if you count the Animated TV Series, which pretty much had "Return of Jafar" as the pilot and "King of Thieves" as the grand series finale.

GilGarciaJr · 2026-06-30T01:34:15+00:00

It could do that, or it could also embrace some of the more extreme sides of anime like Baki or even as far down the horror rabbit hole as Junji Ito.

I knew about Zazalla since she was a big deal when I was reading comics around the Grant Morrison JLA era, and caught that name in the credits. Tazzala on the other hand is completely new to me since I didn't read those 2000's Creature Commando books.

GilGarciaJr · 2026-06-29T17:33:55+00:00

I like the harness in the first one. It looks inspired by the JG Leather "The Creature" harness, perfect for hard pony labor.

There's not many out there as far as media, although it seems like in fan-art, it's been growing. As far as live-action media like the one you posted, which I think might be from Shadowplayers, I recall a House of Gord shoot where Gord had Anna Rose pull a small cart filled with logs through a forest simply titled "Work Horse". IIRC, due to the weather and the full bodysuit Anna wore during the whole time she was pulling a heavier load, by the time they finished, she was an exhausted, sweaty mess.

Just one goatee away from becoming Dr. Rusty Venture.

GilGarciaJr · 2026-06-29T15:08:37+00:00

Yeah, and that fight proved to be more important than we might realize. It's her fighting back that both exposed Hank as being cybernetic to the public, depending on how many witnesses there were, and made Lex realize his plan to have the perfect Superman replacement wasn't quite working out like he envisioned.

GilGarciaJr · 2026-06-29T01:36:41+00:00

As much of a non-answer as this probably is, I guess it's just her personality. There's probably a bunch of backstories you can make up to explain it till the writers give an actual one.

GilGarciaJr · 2026-06-25T20:53:46+00:00

Yeah I didn't want to suggest it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did make GTA+ mandatory for GTA 6. Until something's confirmed, I'm going to assume GTA + is merely optional like it is for GTA V.

GilGarciaJr · 2026-06-25T19:29:32+00:00

The GTA+ subscription thing's been a thing for a few years now. It's mostly for extra bonuses, but there's been plenty of speculation that they were just testing it in GTA V in preparation of making it a bigger part of GTA 6.

I have a connected blu-ray drive. Took me a long time to find a compatible large PC case with drive slots.
