ORIGINAL INFO: Behold the story that gave birth to Superman at Earth’s End!
RUMINATIONS: I decided to finally look at Kamandi at Earth’s End pretty much because of what I said in the episode - that people continually looked to the Superman at Earth’s End episode as one of my best and most memorable. Maybe that’s because of the “I AM A MAN!” meme, but even rewatching it for the 300th episode celebration livestream I realized it actually turned out pretty decently. It was also one of my longest at the time at 24 minutes, which has become more and more common these days as I become more of a windbag. I am actually rather glad I decided to do the series since it ultimately gave me a loooot of material. I actually think the Kamandi episodes are pretty damn funny for just how stupid and unnecessary they are, with awful plot points, a lack of characterization, and our titular Kamandi being something of an utter moron.
The tale I tell in the video is true, as well - I hadn’t actually burned a copy when I first got it just because I was trying to get things done in a certain time frame, I was still working at Barnes and Noble, and my copy of it hadn’t arrived yet. I cut down the length of the actual burning in this one and had to alter the music due to a contentID claim, but you get the idea, anyway. It’s paper. It burns. Or rather it doesn’t very easily when it comes to EVERY SINGLE TIME I’VE TRIED TO BURN A COMIC ON THE SHOW. Seriously, it’s a recurring problem - maybe I just don’t select the right comics, but every time I’ve tried to do it, I’ve had to put a more newspaper-esque material inside of it due to the higher-quality paper that doesn’t so much burn as singe unless it’s got proper tinder to get things going.
