End Time Tuesday!

And I've renamed the Tuesday theme, I like alliteration as you can probably tell...

So first in the Cavalcade of Apocalypsi...Apocalypses?  Whatever...

Waterworld!

Kevin Costner's 1st of 2 end of the world movies has so much promise...and loses it all with plot holes Aquaman could drive a Blue whale through...Costner is a mutant fishman who battles Dennis Hopper and his Smokers, named thus because they smoke a lot.

So much promise.

The Atomic Knight

DC Comics foray into the future originally included a group of survivors who wore medieval armor and rode around on giant mutated dalmatians!  Can't get much better than that if you ask me, but in DC's ongoing quest to make sucky ideas worse (hello New 52) the giant dalmatians and the nuclear apocalypse are all the comatose dreamings of a nuclear physicist who wakes up and dresses as the Atomic Knight to thwart the misuse of atomic energy...

Gah...

Depressing, so depressing and gray that you don't even realize until you finish this reason for Xanex that you are never told the central characters names, or what they look like.

In truth, it is storytelling at its finest, the lack of names or descriptions forces the reader to identify even more with the characters...

Again, making it more depressing.

If you haven't read it, and you are not medicated for depression, you should.

Thundarr the Barbarian!

The year, 1994. From out of space, comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the moon, unleashing cosmic destruction. Man's civilization is cast in ruin. Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn. A strange new world rises from the old. A world of savagery, super-science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice. With his companions, Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword, against the forces of evil. He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!

Need I say more?  Fantastic concept, so-so art, blatant Star Wars ripoffs, it was amazing and a definite staple in my childhood Saturday mornings.

Onward!
