[NEW VIDEO] Superman's Uncomfortable History with Nuclear Weapons...

A bit of a long one, but I hope you nerds like it! Thanks for all the support! A video of this length wouldn't have been possible without your help here on Patreon!

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is a bad movie, but it definitely has a lot to say about atomic weapons as DC’s Man of Steel destroys all nukes on the planet before fighting a silly villain named Nuclear Man created by Lex Luthor. And although it’s clear where this film and Christopher Reeve stand on nuclear warfare...

Read the next video's script early!

Hey, so I don't think I've ever done this before, but I spent so much time on this video script — and it's like 95% of the way there, I think — and I want you to read it if you want to!

It's way too long and color-coded and formatted in a way that makes sense for me to keep track of how I need to film things, but it's probably not easy on the eyes, haha! That being said, it's yours to look over if you want. But hopefully you'll still watch the video when it comes out because it'll b...

[NEW VIDEO] Young Justice Explained: Why Isn't Anyone Just "Whelmed?"

The very first episode of DC's Young Justice created a meme of Robin wondering how come no one is ever just "whelmed" as opposed to "overwhelmed" or "underwhelmed." So today, I'm gonna take that line and overanalyze it because I have nothing better to do than to explain Dick Grayson's dumb joke. I'm so sorry.

[NEW VIDEO] Marvel's Unconventional Storyteller: How Stan Lee Wrote Comics

Just like with the Adam West video, I will not be putting ads on this one, which means the only reason I was able to make it is your support here on Patreon! Thanks so much, you wonderful nerds!

Stan Lee was, in every sense of the word, a Creator. His mind shaped worlds that, in turn, shaped ours. His writing has permanently carved its way into our culture, whether through the tiniest panel on a page or in the largest silver screen productions ever attempted. Today, let's shine a spotlight...

[NEW VIDEO] How MARVEL Drama Created The Teen Titans...

It's here! Now I can finally work on new things. Hope you like it!

The Teen Titans have become a hugely popular DC Comics superhero team over the past few decades, but this wasn't always the case. When the Teen Titans were first introduced, their comic series failed hard. It was only after the introduction of Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven in addition to Robin that DC's team started seeing massive success! However, the launch of these New Teen Titans only happened thanks to behind ...

IMPORTANT UPDATE! PLEASE READ!

Hey, you wonderful Patrons! We've been discussing this for a week or so now, but I've finally made the change back to a monthly Patreon instead of a per-creation system. This change is for a couple reasons.

  • Switching to monthly relieves a lot of pressure from me as I spend more time working on videos.
  • You always know how much you are going to be charged each month. Some of you said switching to monthly would allow you to increase your pledges, so feel free to do...

So, I went to PatreCon this year again, and I learned a lot of valuable things regarding running this page. So, much like last year, I'll be changing up some stuff over the next month or so. Mostly little things, but perhaps one or two big things.

How a "Wolfman" Changed Horror Comics...

Shorter video this week. More spooky stuff incoming! Thanks for the support!

Back when parents were worried that horror comic books would adversely influence their children, panicked publishers created the Comics Code Authority. The CCA forced writers and artists to follow strict rules about what they could and couldn't include in their comics. Horror comics couldn't even include classic monsters like vampires, zombies or werewolves. But what happened when one of the writers at DC Comics w...

[NEW VIDEO] Did Marvel Steal Spider-Man's Costume?

Yo! A new video! And a spooky conspiracy one!

There's a lot of controversy surrounding who created Spider-Man's iconic costume. Giving proper credit to Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Jack Kirby for their contributions to the Marvel character is hard enough, but then there's this weird conspiracy theory that popped up a few years back claiming that Ditko stole the design of Spider-Man's suit from the Ben Cooper Halloween costume company. How does this theory hold up? Scott explains...

[NEW VIDEO] Why the X-Men Cartoon Theme Song is Even Better Than You Remember...

In the early 90s, Marvel, Fox Kids, and Saban Entertainment teamed up to create one of the most beloved superhero cartoons ever made — X-Men: The Animated Series. Each episode was kicked off by an intense, driving opening theme song that resonates in the minds of nerds to this day. We sat down with the composer of the song, Ron Wasserman, to explain how this theme song was made, and why it's so perfe...
