That Won't Be in the Movie

[The Youth Counselor]

The Peter Parker molestation PSA is available to read online here:

As heavy handed as the message was and strange as it was presented, it has done some good in this world. How do I know? My best friend was molested by family members and help came to her from unlikely sources. She learned what sexual abuse was through daytime talk shows like Oprah, Maury ,and Jenny Jones and this prompted her to come forward to her mother which ended the abuse. But for the years afterwards the little girl was ashamed about what happened, and believed that she was weak, foolish, and that she allowed it all to occur. It wasn't until she picked up a worn copy of Spider-Man/Power Pack #1 that she began to heal from this. If her (then and now) idol, Peter Parker - a guy strong enough who could lift up cars and battle with Godlike beings was too molested how does that make her weak? Her connection to the character grew stronger and she was able to move on, grow up, and eventually confronter her abusers. A comic book did that.

I thought that Godzilla thing did happen? I remember seeing a Godzilla movie that followed that, though did it have a different plot to an extent?

 

[WaderiAAA]

Wow, those stories are hilarius. You're probably right about them never coming to the movies though - even though the Comet and Super Girl story could have been a teenage girl cult favorite.

Okay; so what is a Wonder Woman origin movie suppose to do without her origin? Have a special title card that tells the audience to go watch the animated feature first? Then again, I'm sure the marketing department would love that idea.

Superman has a thing for L.L. names because his birth name is Kal-EL. It's all subconscious.

Read Superman: Red Son. You're mind will turn into pasta.

I suppose that's what inspired ''Look at My Horse''

Damn thats creepy.

Holmes is explicitly shown using drugs in The Hound of the Baskervilles [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0322622/], a made for TV movie from 2002.

"Sherlock Holmes is a Coke Fiend

The new Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr. shocked a lot of casual fans with onscreen depictions of the hero's bohemian proclivities, but it's still a far cry from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories, where the great detective's preferred vice was shooting up liquefied cocaine. Naturally, drug laws and mores were different in Victorian England, but don't look for this to rear its head in the new series any time soon - though this is where Holmes' modern-day analogue, Dr. House, gets his Vicodin habit from."

Actually, the 'this is eye medicine' comment that Watson makes during the Fly scene is an allusion to the cocaine. Cocaine was used as a bit of a cure all, even in eye drops during this era. It's subtle and not something a lot of people would pick up on, but it's there.

That was a recurring gag from Starship Troopers. Throughout the movie, news clips would show up describing what just happened or what's been happening elsewhere and would always finish with "Would You Like to Know More?".

 

[MercenaryCanary]

Is it bad that I actually have the one where Spider-Man gets molested?

 

[Rosen2012]

That Ninja Turtles one was just wrong man...just....wrong.

 

[BlueTomfoolery]

Hey MovieBob, Has TvTropes ruined your life, too?

 

[WorldCritic]

Well that last one was kinda horrifying.

 

[RelexCryo]

That was the funniest thing I've read all day. The part about the superman sex tape really made laugh.

Agreed. This was hilarious, though I already knew about Comet.
