S3 EP.20: It’s a work-wife thing – Reviewing relationships in comics

The guys (Kareem, Ken, and Pat) spend some time reviewing some of the most legendary relationships in comics. Tangents include using climate change to thwart protest, pro-choice vs. Fake news, the Inhumans practicing Mormonism, and more.

Show Notes

Relationships in comics are always hard, especially for superheroes. Complicated double lives and the responsibility of saving the world are often too much for most couples, but some get back together no matter what. Both DC and Marvel showcased some bad and good romantic couples, which became quite popular among the fans, and that prompted us to look into some of the best superhero couples that appeared in comic book media.

Of course, it’s hard to be fully objective with these lists, so bear with me and my explanations of each relationship. The list will strictly include couples that are both superheroes, but with one exception, which I will explain in more detail. If you’re interested, stay with us until the end. Also, this list isn’t ranked, and each entry could be placed anywhere.

Kareem, Ken, Pat, and guest Tim settle in to talk about the movie, but as always, tangents emerge like uninvited cousins who still somehow run the show.This time, the crew dives into how the fictional citizens of Metropolis and the very real citizens of the United States share a troubling weakness for any rich guy with a shiny suit and a PR team. From there, they spiral into a celebration of Guy Gardner’s comedic menace as Green Lantern, because apparently the universe needed a man who is equal parts hero and walking HR violation.Naturally, the group also questions the logistics of a pocket universe prison. Is it science, magic, or just James Gunn saying, " Trust me and hoping no one asks follow-up questions? The Giants ask them anyway. And that is only scratching the surface of the detours they take while trying to talk about Superman’s journey.If you enjoy passionate nonsense, comic book philosophy, and four grown adults trying to make sense of a movie that refuses to stay on the rails, this episode is your comfort food. Settle in and enjoy another round of heroic chaos.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #dcu #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #dccomics #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #superherotalk #moviebreakdown #GuyGardner #greenlantern #metropolis #PocketUniverse #popculturepodcast #dcfans #supermananalysis #moviediscussions
