Read the article, and while I agree Atlantas female characters were very under developed. DGs comments on thinking a dangerous killer should be portrayed as a dog, should not matter if character is female, black, or have a fucking lisp. It is about the characters presence not the thing brought up, nice try though.

That scene fucked me up as a kid. There were tons of brutal fates in the show though. The guy who became insubstantial and fell to the center of the earth, the radioactive zombie dad that’s trapped underground, the Splicer who gets injected with a bunch of animals’ DNA and turns into a misshapen monster. Show was dark as hell for a kids show.

I liked the spin-off, The Zeta Project. The plot was pretty interesting and it was cool that they tried to talk about serious themes, much like Static Shock had done. Too bad WB gutted the show to the point the creator decided to abandon it, we never got any resolution.

Yes! I thought this too and didn’t even get to it. The “controversial” jokes in Friends were not about laughing at bigots, that’s a weird attempt at a historical rewrite. And I don’t really have an issue with Friends at all myself, it’s just dated.
