Hex Girls show (we wish)

 Yes, I love the Hex Girls, for a wide variety of reasons.  I would go to this show.

After reviewing the terror movie Darby O'Gill and the Little People, I have started to look at a few more of Disney's output from that time frame, say the late 50s to the early 70s.  The Three Lives of Thomasina, The Shaggy Dog, The Gnome-Mobile, and several more all had magical characters in them, or magical elements characters used.  I was surprised at all the rather interesting and occult-oriented.  Since it is ostensibly set in England and is about witches and the like, I am sure the credit designers just looked for interesting images to use without much thought about it.

422. What Happens when "I Married a Witch!" 1942

                  I had the trailer on here about fourteen years ago.  I liked it then, and I like it more now.

the Marvel Superheroes have Arrived!

I never saw these as a kid, and didn't know any of the production history about them.  I saw them advertised in Famous Monsters and finally purchased one when they showed up at the local K-Mart.  I twas not ready for just how limited the animation was.  I had expected it to be like the Spider-Man cartoon or Hanna-Barbera.  It was disappointing to the younger me to say the least.  I never got any more of them on 8mm because of that, and kind of looked down on them for a long time.  Dang, that pickle was not pleasant, I'll tell you what.

Dr. Strange in the Mulitverse of Madness (2022)

 

I liked it.  Much like the first Dr Strange movie way back in 2016 (six years for a sequel?  that is strange to say the least), I liked it.  Perhaps I will like it more in the future, but this is lower tier for me.  It is hard to compete against the masterpiece that No Way Home was, and I tried not to compare it to that.  This film also featured Wanda, my Scarlet Witch.  I tried to avoid spoilers, but kind of knew what was going to happen simply by the name of the movie, all homage to Lovecraft included.  When one has read most of the appearances of the Scarlet Witch, one knows her history.  I had high hopes for The West Coast Avengers when John Byrne took over, and then he did what he did to both Wanda and the Vision.  He also messed with Tigra as well, so there are three strikes right there.  Spoilers ahead:

The Vision's first animated appearance!

 

I am watching the 1981 Spider-Man cartoon series.  This was syndicated back then, and contained 26 episodes.  It is... mostly entertaining, but of course, there were no fights at all.  Another interesting thing is that Doctor Doom was the main villain, appearing in six episodes.  More than the Kingpin, more than Doc Ock, more than the ferkin Green Goblin!  Only JJJ appeared more as a villain.  It is an odd choice, for sure.  Be that as it may, in the episode Arsenic and Aunt May, Peter comes home and May turns on the telly so Peter can watch a new show, starring The Avengers.  It is just a brief glimpse, but this is what we see!
