this Pokesona is the result of leaving a Hawlucha with an Incineroar too long - it turns heel and doesn’t even know what that means!!!

Hello! How are you doing? I have really loved your recent posts. My question is what are your feelings about Marvel Studios producing a Shang Chi film? I understand that Shang Chi is definitely an older character from as far back from the seventies. Do you think the MCU can use some vintage pulp kung fu action or do you think it will be similar to every other MCU movie?

If I could live in any fictional world, I would most want to live in Paul Gulacy's Master of Kung Fu comics from the 70s. Maybe there are better comics out there, but few are more aspirational and "old school comic book cool."

A mix of Kung Fu and secret agent action in exotic locations, steeped in Asian martial arts exotica, 70s issues of Master of Kung Fu were equal parts Bond and Bruce Lee. It was a world where you can have a motorcycle chase with ninja assassins on the Great Wall of China, then, in the Swiss Alps, drive a supercar with pop out skis on the bottom so you can go over snow....or where you catch an illuminated neon sign in Hong Kong to break your fall, when fighting a sexy Asian lady with an eyepatch in a leather catsuit out to kill you.

It was the only comic of its type that was actually horny (apart from Steranko, obviously) where, even today, it just looks fashionable and cool. I try to dress like a character in a Paul Gulacy book, with turtlenecks, sport black blazer and a pewter lion pendant on the neck; it formatted my idea of what a suave, smooth "cool guy" dresses like.

Meeting Paul Gulacy (in person!) was one of my most long-cherished and meaningful memories as a comics fan. I am not a shy guy and never have been, but when he asked me if I liked his comics, I couldn't stammer out anything at all. What a feather in my cap, though! The only three other comics artists from his era that are remotely comparable to Gulacy is Steranko (obviously), James Sherman, and Frank Brunner.

In the 1960s, a type of animation using puppets with small motors that were used to move their mouths was utilized to film a variety of British shows, until the technique fell out of favor in 1969. The technique was called “Supermarionation”, a portmanteau of “super”, “marionette”, and “animation”, which would be displayed at the beginning of the shows’ credits.

While this has no connection to the Super Mario series, it is nevertheless notable that a completely unrelated concept exists that by sheer coincidence sounds as though it would need to be related to Super Mario despite being derived from different terms.
