Failure to launch is one possibility; another is that they (or some of them) launch, but their guidance systems are for crap and they come down anywhere.

Hasbro-the-company probably (hopefully) doesn't give a thought to third-party add-ons. They care about how much they spend to produce "units" and how much they can sell for. The people who actually design the toys (many of whom, at this point, are fans and collectors themselves) might well be...

Man, we though Hawkman's continuity was a mess.

Schools aren't for teaching. This is a company-owned facility that exists to produce employees (machine operators, engineers, administrators, CEOs, etc) for the Benerit Group (and to earn a profit from those potential employees; everyone there is either wealthy enough to afford it [Miorine...

I mean, Star Trek has canonically included parallel universes since TOS. Interestingly, TOS, TNG, DS9, and even the Abrams movies all suggested (and Discovery all but confirmed) that these parallel timelines are actually parallel --as in something that happens in one universe (like a random...

"Here's a hint." *resurrects Optimus*

Moringmark? (Sadly, the strips are all in random order.)

When your family knows and respects your capabilities.

Well, given how much TV the Junkions watch. . .

Not just promotion; a couple of months back, a friend on discord did an informal check and noted that Batman or Batman-related titles made up something like 70% of DC's published output for the month. It's the old "female Transformers toys don't sell" fallacy again. You can't sell products...

I'll go for an obscure one: Lazarus Lane, also known as El Diablo. Formerly a mild-mannered bank clerk, Lazarus was caught in a bank robbery, shot, and left for dead. He was found by an Apache shaman who revived him as a spirit of vengeance (and became his mentor), and he became a vigilante...
