I'm sorry in advance for those who presented - I was terrible about capturing names.
- Deadwood, showed opening scene of series
- Seth Bullock as anti-hero, lawman with interesting application of justice
- Sets stage - the Western is a great genre to explore in this context, with its deep sense of its own mythology.
Tom - Revolution
- Fuck. I am such a lightweight.
- Love using quotes other than just Campbell, broadening source material.
- Fascinating subject - the personal story is always the most compelling.
- What did you think of Campbell at the time? Did you recognize any of your own struggles as being part of this tapestry, or is it only upon reflection (life lived backwards)?
- Interesting. I'm wondering if there's a qualitative difference between the reponses of DC's characters (who exist in fully fictionalized versions of NYC) and Marvel's characters (which is set in a sometimes-more, sometimes-less version of the real city).
- also, maybe include comix? "In the Shadow of No Towers?"
Little Mermaid
- interesting - I like the idea of looking at censorship adapting the story for different times.
- how the hell did this ever become a children's story?
- Doesn't surprise me that the Disney Co. bastardized the story - wonder if there is any material available that pulls back the curtain, what they kept and what they threw out.
- How about the Disney sequel?
Tiffany-Liana - The Evolution of Women in Comics
- I love the subject. There's a lot here.
- I hope you're going to explore the creation of Wonder Woman, with Marston's triumverate marriage. Whatever you may think of his lifestyle, you can't deny that he impulse was noble - girls need heroes, too.
- This was used against the industry by Frederick Wertham - Wonder Woman threatened the social order, encouraging young women to rebel.
- You're giving me some ideas, making me reconsider my own project.
- Is Storm a reflection of some Earth-mother character? It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature, after all.
- I think I might have a JPEG copy of the original costume design - don't know if that interests anybody.
- Themiscyra as the Bermuda Triangle - I didn't know that.
- Why are there different versions of the origin story? How many were written by Marston?
- Wonder Woman has a girdle, too - just like Hippolyta.
- Which did Marston invent first - the Lasso of Truth, or the Lie Detector?
- what to make of the modern interpretation of witches as feminist icon? How about Charmed?
- there's an example of ultra-sexy witches who are really gruesome (one of many) in the third season of Doctor Who.
