EP.4 Poor White Men – A Review of Billionaires in comics pt.4

Posted by mindhead006 on

The guys (Kareem, Ken, and Pat) wrap up their review comic billionaires. Tangents include the list of dead dependents Bruce claims, the MCU’s bulls** time travel logic, redacted tapes of John Walker, Winter Soldiers dubious programming, trash islands in the Pacific Ocean, and more.

Show Notes

Topic 1:  Establish what constitutes a billionaire in comic and in reality.

  • In countries that use the short scale number naming system, a billionaire is someone who has at least a thousand times a million dollars, euros or the currency of the given country. Many national currencies have, or have had at various times, a low unit value, in many cases due to past inflation.

Topic 2: Breakdown of the four most well-known comic billionaires and if they have real world counterparts

  • See additional pages for breakdown details

Topic 3: How billionaires accumulated their wealth and what they do with it.

  • See additional page for details

Topic 4: Why are billionaires necessary in comics (especially when there are gods, demons, magic, mysticism, etc)

Topic 5: Which is the better comic billionaire? Which would be the more successful real-world crossover?

EP.123 – Post Decpte-Con Catch Up – A Review of Comic-Con News 2026 – Tangential Giants Podcast

Kareem finally reconnects with Ken and Pat after missing their Comic‑Con panel, and the guys waste no time recapping how their talk on the downfall of billionaires in comics somehow turned into a crowd‑pleaser. Pat insists they were profound. Ken insists they were unhinged. Both are probably right.From there, the conversation swerves into the tall grass. The trio tries to figure out why Transformers actually transform, whether “Decepticons” is a name that should have been retired decades ago, and how to stitch G.I. Joe, Transformers, and the Fast and the Furious into one cinematic universe without breaking the laws of physics or taste.It is exactly the kind of episode where a simple Comic‑Con debrief becomes a dissertation on toy‑based geopolitics, automotive theology, and franchise chaos theory.Settle in. It gets weird fast.#TangentialGiants #ComicCon #Transformers #GIJoe #FastAndFurious #NerdCulture #PopCulturePodcast #GeekTalk #ComicBookLore #MovieUniverses #PodcastLife #FandomTalk #ToyLore #FranchiseChaos
