And I really do love this show. Has some amazing voicework, hilarious silver-age-ish situations, and fantastic singin of all things. I mean, how can you not love a show with Aquaman’s rousing song of heroism?
Yeah, while it was first run, I watched it with my grandson every week. He isn’t into superheroes, but he did love watching it with me, just because it was funny and the stories were strictly at the same kid’s level as when I was his age. Aquaman had much more personality in that show than he ever had in a comic.
This might be true for other super-strong heroes like The Hulk. For Superman, if he is using telekinesis, then it’s like picking up a grape with telekinesis. If he’s using aura of invulnerability, then it’s like gently contacting the grape with a needle point, then boosting its structural integrity. Once that’s done, then it’s like putting a marble or steel ball on a needle point, and it doesn’t sink in like a grape.
OK, now all I can think of is two guys in a rowboat paddling like mad to avoid going over a waterfall, but failing. When they fall and hit the bottom of the waterfall, it explodes like a car going over a cliff in any movie or TV show.
