So Sal actually left out one of the craziest things about the Fast And Furious things. Which is it got so crazy that Vin Diesel actually broke everyone down essentially using DND stat sheets then tried to apply DND combat hit point logic to measure out how much damage everyone was doing and taking. Sadly the studio didn’t use anything he did.

47:00 Surprisingly Jim Shooter actually wrote a lot of Superman. He actually made his bones writing the Legion of Superheroes as a teenager. He also created the Parasite which is absolutely the only reason he's in this story. So I guess Shooter was just really bitter at DC.

I believe the Oz crossover was cause Marvel got the rights to adapt the book and not the movie, while DC's parent company WB owned the MGM classic. Marvel wanted to adapt it with the now iconic MGM imagery, flying monkeys, Ruby's slippers, melting the Witch, the 3 farmhands she dreams up as her Oz friends, ect. So Marvel just asked DC about it and they decided to coproduce it and slipt the money 50/50.

[@Volvagia1927]

Basically: Marvel bought the rights because of the movie, didn't realize how much of that movie was distinctly...not in the novels, but no one at Marvel really wanted to draw a super accurate adaptation eschewing the movie specific stuff.

I wish they would do a modern cannon Spider-Man and Superman story. The two characters are pretty similar in many ways and it would be nice to see the company two mascots together again.

[@sollyswolly1623]

I always liked how Spidey fit in with the archetypes of the Big 2. Superman is Man's best and brightest light, Batman is mastering your flaws, and Spider-Man is a flawed person who tries to be his best and brightest as soon as the mask comes on. I think that trinity would be really great to see in a crossover

GOSH I keep rewatching this and the Superman leaving and Parasite's original origin get me cry laughing every time!

He's a fantastic villain in Man of Tomorrow and in an episode of Superman the animated series, not to mention sympathetic in the former!

[@zaphero5518]

Oh gosh, he created Parasite for DC *when he was 14.* He says he was inspired by Biology class in 9th grade!

[@Shootblade]

Fuck, I hate to do this but, Jim Shooter got his start in comics writing for DC, he was 14 years old, this was 1965. Shooters feeling for DC were how Sal described them but, Shooter made his bones in comics writing for DC's Superman and Supergirl, and eventually The Legion of Superheroes, so the man intimately knows DC's super family. BTW he invented Parasyte.

Did anyone else besides me notice that Sal’s read for Dr. Doom in this book sounds an awful lot like Seth MacFarlane does when he’s doing the voice for Emperor Palpatine in Robot Chicken? That can’t be a coincidence.
