[fierydiscourse]

It's time for the forty fifth episode of Fiery Discourse: the only podcast on the internet dedicated to discussing dragonesses, female dinosaurs and other similar saurians and ranking them via the patent pending official Dragoness Scale. In this episode, we discuss the 1984 Superfriends: The Legendary Super Powers episode Island of the Dinosoids! This episode will answer these burning questions: Did this episode squander the talents of Adam West? Does Wonder Woman look better as a dinosoid than her normal form? And how hilariously bad is the motivation for the scientist turning evil? All this and more will be answered on this episode! Join Ludmillanon, Angron, LuckyEevee, Mathmachine, Stryker, and Jordan as we discuss Superfriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show episode Island of the Dinosoids!

Young Justice Season 3 Recap I watched this season gradually over several months, so I might not remember all the details, but I want to give some thoughts on the themes I saw presented. The concept of Anti-Life fascinates me. It sounds dumb when you hear the name, like it's a death ray or something. I'd heard of the "Anti-Life Equation," but I didn't think much of it until I read Kirby's Fourth World and saw what it was. The idea that there's a secret technique to obliterate someone's free will and replace it with your own is terrifying (Asimov's Mule had a similar power). The opposite of life isn't death. Life is about relationship with the environment around you. You take, you give back, you have an impact and you die. Anti-Life is to take away your ability to have an impact on the world at all. The Equation itself isn't much more than a plot device, at times a mere maguffin, but the ideology is very real. It's a view where people exist only to further the will of those more powerful and can be sacrificed at will. Kirby stared fascism straight in the eye during WWII, and Darkseid was his vision of the ultimate tyrant. Be it Hitler, Stalin, or Nixon, anyone who used others for their own gain was part of the same force of evil in Kirby's eyes. Young Justice is at base a coming of age story, so it makes sense that the god who tries to take their free will is in the form of a cloying authority figure. Granny Goodness is herself a tool of Darkseid's ideology. Her most direct nemesis is Garfield Logan, who rejects being a tool for anyone's will. Making her a Hollywood producer allows for some satire about the commodification of actors and other "talent," but teenage rebellion is pretty universal, so the themes of "coming of age" and "demanding free will" merge seamlessly in the dehumanizing world of entertainment production. Garfield starts The Outsiders with the express purpose of telling people, especially young people, that they don't have to follow dehumanizing orders, they have the right to stand up for themselves. Violet and Victor are the other characters with the most pronounced arcs. Both of them are a mergence of technology and organic life, but they come at it from opposite directions. Violet is a Motherbox using the corpse of Gabrielle to act, while Victor is a human kept alive with a Fatherbox. Violet is a newborn teenager trying to figure out what she is, while Victor is a teenager who lost what he was. Both of them come into their own by giving up what they thought was important- Victor accepts the end of his football career and "normal life," while Violet gives up her relationship with Brion. Makes me think of Renard saying he lost "his Anastasia" in preserving his integrity. Death and rebirth is an old part of the heroes' journey, and the two V's are blatant examples stretched over the course of a season. Cyborg's acceptance is signalled, funnily enough, by saying "booyah" for the first time. Life, as these two learn, isn't about what kind of cells are in your body. It's about your ability to make choices that matter. Vic trying to hold onto his past and Violet trying to run from hers/Gabrielle's were anti-life. Opening up to their teammates was a chance to be accepted. I've historically been more of a Marvel fan, but I'm starting to appreciate DC's conception of heroes as mythological embodiments of concepts. If Darkseid is Anti-Life, it makes sense for his nemesis to be Superman. I recently saw the movie Kill Bill for the first time. The late David Carradine gives a great speech about the mythological significance of Superman, and it's hilarious because he's blatantly wrong. Bill can't imagine a powerful person being happy with a mundane life, so he assumes Superman's Clark Kent persona is a bumbling dope because Superman is mocking normal people. This is not meant to be taken at face value, it's a sign that Bill doesn't understand people with different worldviews. Either that, or it's just a mockery of the kind of pretentious nerd who writes essays about the philosophy of superhero stories. *coughs nervously* (Bishansky, if you're reading, I'm guessing you've had to yell about this before.) Superman has great respect for normal people, after all he was raised by them, and his heroism is all about helping them live up to their own potential. In the stories where he does decide to make people's decisions for them, like Red Son, he quickly becomes as much a tyant as Darkseid. His origins are reminiscent of Moses, so he fights against slavery in all its forms. It's all in service of Life. If Darkseid is Anti-Life, then what is Vandal Savage? He kind of took a backseat in this season, and I wonder if he's really on the same scale as Darkseid. He's earth-based, but he's moving into the bigger leagues. This is why he breaks his alliance with Darkseid once the latter gets the Anti-Life Equation. There's something surreally funny about Savage just knocking on the door of the Team's headquarters. I would say Vandal Savage represents the State of Nature. "Nature" is a word with largely positive connotations today, but when Thomas Hobbes used the term he meant a cruel war of all against all where life is "nasty, brutish, and short." This is Savage's utopia. He desires constant struggle in the belief that it will make people stronger. This is why he's willing to work with Darkseid temporarily but can't allow him to obtain complete victory. Maybe that's why he calls his group The Light- he sees them as fighting against tyranny of Dark(seid), but his enlightenment is a lesson of violence. On this axis, Savage's philosophical nemesis is Batman. Batman, of course, is motivated to protect children from the senseless chaos that took his parents. Batman is a Hobbesian, and Batman Inc. is his Leviathan. (Disclaimer that I'm specifically talking about Young Justice here, Batman has had many different characterizations.) He resigns from the Justice League because he thinks only he has the will to do what is necessary and his decisions cannot be compromised by a corrupt leader. This is a decision Superman can't make because he's simply too powerful and needs self-imposed restraints, so he chooses to compromise. But Batman's fight against the State of Nature leads him into embracing the methods of Anti-Life. He lies, he manipulates, and in doing so he takes meaning away from the decisions others make. I don't want to conclude that it's simply a matter of balance. Life is opposed by both the violent actions of murderers and the subtle control of tyrants. The season doesn't end with a conclusive defeat of Anti-Life, and maybe it shouldn't. Kirby never got a chance to defeat Darkseid, and Weisman doesn't like definitive endings anyway. When your enemy represents a concept, it makes some sense that they're always ready for the next fight. Fascism was defeated in 1945, but it has come back in recent years. Darkseid is always preparing for the next round. I guess the only arc left is the Markovs. How do they fit? Brion, I think, is Batman if he fully embraced Anti-Life. He is angry because he could not protect his family, so he becomes a tyrant. Dr. Jace is extremely Anti-Life, treating children as nothing more than puppets, yet he hires her. Here's a question: Why does Brion accept tyranny while Tara turns her back on it? Why does the traitor become redeemed? I think maybe Slade did too good a job on her. He taught her an anarchic philosophy where you should be suspicious of everyone, and she turned it on him. The Team embraced her with a simple love. They accepted her as she was. Philosophical arguments only get you so far. In the end, human connection wins out. And so the Team and the League turn the page on the chapter by rejecting the methods of Anti-Life. They may not be perfect and they can't do everything, but they can set an example. From now on, the heroes will embrace a harmonious existence. No one is above anyone else, no one takes and gives in unequal measure, they are all equally valuable. Information and care will flow freely between them as they attempt to make the world a better place.
