It's funny, even though I'm black I never really cared for John on Justice League. Kyle got me into Dc comics and was my favorite comic book character for most of my teen years. I loved how inventive he was with his constructs and the concept of him having to carry this huge legacy on his own really grabbed me. Then Justice League rolls around and they go with this boring old guy who uses his ring to make the most boring poo poo possible. Thank God he got much better when JLU rolled around.

That was sort of an arc for him. He gets called out for lack of creativity at some point and starts working in new stuff over the next few arcs. He even has a lampshade line when he's fighting like... Dreamslayer or something, who refuses to be beaten by a bubble, only to blow himself up in it and have Jon point out that it's an especially good bubble.

I agree with this except for the idea that we continue the Santa Clause franchise. Unless you actually treat it as the horror it is.

I think they retread similar beats with flashbacks of the biggest of main characters for Jack, Sawyer, and Kate. Kate probably comes off the worst. It isn't Lilly's fault, she just isn't given a lot to work with in Lost.

Yeah. Came from being the main The Girl. I think her experience there was why Lilly told Jackson and the Hobbit folks she'd only do the role if she wasn't in a love triangle and they put her in a love triangle.

IIRC it wasn't originally a love triangle but it ended up that way when they did reshoots.

No, it was a cartoon series based on a toy line.

I'm sure a comic series was made based on the cartoon, though.

No idea about He-Man, but I do have vague memories of Transforrmers toys coming with little comic book pack-ins.

There were multiple ongoing He-Man series including one which serves as the sequel to Injustice 2 (or Injustice 2's 'bad ending') It ends with He-Man becoming Shazam which is one of those crossovers that is incredibly stupid and yet makes perfect sense.

They made comics for it to tie-in with the figures and explore the lore and characters to kids to make them excited to buy the toys.

You should watch The Toys That Made Us on Netflix. It's an awesome show about this kinda stuff.

There were HeMan comics alongside the show and cartoon in the 80s. And again in the 2000s. About 10 years ago DC rebooted the concept into a new series that wrapped up about two years ago.
