Media Montage 113: Superheroes Outside of Comics

Superheroes are everywhere these days, and they all came from comic books right?

Wrong! Lots of superhero characters emerged from TV, Film and Animation, independent of the four color page. Hancock, Defendor, MANTIS and the Greatest American Hero all originated outside of comic books.

Parody, homage and ripoffs of superhero concepts are discussed as well in Episode 113 of the Media Montage Podcast!

Media Montage Podcast 66: Grab Bag - Turtles, Fables, Avatar & More

This week Bruce and Larry take a bit of a breather and discuss a veritable grab bag of media releases they’ve been enjoying. We have recommendations of what to enjoy and what to avoid. We talk expectations, disappointments and more.

Larry recommends the Fables: A Wolf Among Us video game, The Weirding Willows and Lumberjanes comics.

Bruce recommends rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender and the current season of The Legend of Korra, and yes, even the new Ninja Turtles movie.

We also briefly tackle:

Wes Anderson movies
What makes us leave comic book titles
The ‘slow burn’ in long form stories, and when there is and is not an ultimate payoff to that burn
How lowering expectations can make for a better movie going experience
…and some of the things we have planned going in to year two of the Media Montage Podcast!
