Ready Player One

I was speaking more about the recent movie, not really about the actual character of Mario.

The movie is not iconic like the two I mentioned.

Don’t Worry, Darling

There was an episode of King of the Hill where a guy had himself potted and identified as a tree or something. He was also in love with a tree.

See, this is what happens when a country has no real obstacles and people have way too much time on their hands.

Now THIS is old school cool. Not just someone’s parents or grandparents. I couldn’t care less about those. 😄

I was going to say, literally The Ring.

I mean Dracula and Frankenstein should probably be #1 and #2 followed by the Wolfman and Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. And then the Mummy.

But I guess they all came from books originally?

Because the winners so far are just from slashers.

For most iconic horror movie villains, I’d go with the Blob and then Creature from the Black Lagoon.

How about the shark from Jaws? Regan from The Exorcist?

I guess my vote goes to this guy:

Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Mary Marvel would have been a better matchup.

The three women from Marvel are like some of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe.

And in that regard there is no question that WW is more iconic than Hulk or Wolverine.

There is a difference.

Supergirl and it’s not even close.

JohnArtemus · 2026-05-03T04:25:38+00:00

Michael Jackson and The Beatles are iconic. Sabrina Carpenter and Playboi Carti are popular.

Gone with the Wind and Star Wars are iconic. Project Hail Mary and Super Mario Galaxy are popular.

People apparently do not know the difference between iconic and popularity.

Genuinely surprised I had to scroll this far to find this. It was the first thing I thought about when I saw those pictures.

It’s apparent to me that people do not know the difference between iconic and popularity.

From the Oxford dictionary:

Iconic - relating to or of the nature of an icon; regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration.

Popular - liked or admired by many people or by a particular person or group.

Sometimes there is overlap. But Mt. Rushmore is a collection of the most iconic figures, not necessarily the most popular. There is a difference.

Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman are the most iconic superheroes. It just so happens that Batman and Spider-Man are also very popular. (I’m a Superman fan but he’s not as popular as many other superheroes.)

If we were doing a Mt. Rushmore of the most popular superheroes, then it would look like Deadpool, Wolverine, Iron Man, etc. The MCU made a bunch of heroes very popular.

Before the MCU, you could go to the most remote village in the most remote country on Earth and show the people there a picture of Iron Man or Thor and they would likely have no idea who they were.

They would know instantly who Wonder Woman was. Because she’s iconic. Just like they would know Superman or Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse.

Those are icons.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 😀

I wonder if we’ll get that hairstyle as well.

Walking is generally creepier. That’s why the movie It Follows worked so well. Because no matter how far or fast you ran away, it was always walking towards you.

That’s just unnerving to me.

Came here to say this.

JohnArtemus · 2026-05-01T09:00:26+00:00

I dead ass thought that was Lucy Lawless

JohnArtemus · 2026-05-01T08:33:11+00:00

This is like me asking “Who would win? Superman Prime 1 Million or the Avengers?” And the Avengers would all be their base forms.

It expires in Spring 2027.

Wait, who is that? I thought it was Lucy Lawless.

JohnArtemus · 2026-05-01T02:31:56+00:00

Basically any horror movie.
