Do Auzzies ever try doing "American" accents by going for Boston? Might be less of a gulf to bridge. We stress words the same ways, just with different sounds.

[@Wico90YT]

They need to do an entire video of Aussie and Kiwi actors pretending to be Americans and just compare whos better. Rose McIver, Anthony Starr, Toni Collette, The Hemsworths, Rose Byrne, etc should all be on it

Out of curiosity, my dad and I wanted to watch through every non-MCU/Fox Marvel movie. I remember actually being excited as a kid about Man-Thing, because he was one of the most interesting Marvel characters to me. I cannot describe the whiplash I experienced as a kid when that opening scene with the couple played, and then again when Man-Thing was barely in the movie. So glad he got a second chance in live action with Werewolf by Night

[@pious83]

Going in watching it blind. It's really quite surprising.

[@You-Tube-n5k]

Fun fact. To my knowledge, the same actor who played Man Thing in this movie got to play him again in WBN. So it wasn't just the character that got a second chance.

[@nolanhartley8265]

I thought that was really interesting if true, so I had to look it up, but sadly it's not. The original Man-Thing was professional wrestler Conan Stevens, but the MCU iteration is Carey Jones, with some additional voice work by Jeffrey Ford

Yup, the Green Lantern CoG was the finale of the DC graveyard series which they did after tricking everyone with Twilight, then they went straight onto the Star Wars CoGs where James started Blue Harvest

Ted Sallis is mentioned but only in passing. In the comics he does often attack indescribably reacting to peoples emotions.

[@legogoldenglider6684]

Another interesting thing about the Man-Thing/Swamp Thing similarities was that Len Wein (Swamp Thing’s creator) and Gerry Conway (Man-Thing’s co-creator) were roomates at the time these characters were being created. Apparently Conway tried to talk Wein out of Swamp Thing’s origin, but Len “didn’t see the similarities”. So maybe it was some kind of subconscious exchange of ideas? Either way it’s really weird

Omg finally I found the Rodney supercut origin!!!!!! My day is made!!!

[@Rydonattelo]

I was in Australia for a while last year from Scotland UK. Bendigo I was in and an Australia guy I was in the company of one day showed me a steak pie and he said something like " What you think of that mate eh? A meat pie " . He thought it would impress me, like a can you believe we in Australia put meat in pies kind of thing. He either didn't realise that this was a British thing or perhaps because of my Scottish accent he thought I was from somewhere else. He was so proud to introduce me to the famous Australian dish that I didn't have the heart to explain to him that I not only was aware of it but that I was pretty sure this came to Australia with the British.

[@kenupton4084]

So I might have made a similar comment back when this first went up... But The Heap isnt the original inspiration for Swamp Thing or Man-Thing. The Heap (1942) is based on the short story "It" (1940) by Theadore Sturgeon in "Unknown" magazine vol. 3 #6. It was later republished in an Alfred Hitchcock collection that I read as a kid.
