There’s a timeline where Nixion exposed Superman’s secret identity to distract from Watergate.

Wolverine being able to piece together exactly what happened in a crime scene just by smell to where images of the events play out for him is some kooky procedural drama BS from the early 2000’s stuff. #WolverineandtheXMen

I swear this show cannot go 2 minutes without them mentioning his holy one, Wolverine. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again when it’s comes to #WolverineandtheXMen:

Ugh… I hate how in “Breakdown” they paint Wolverine to be the “good guys” cuz he refuses to fight Cyclops, but then show Scott to be the violent, possessive & toxic boyfriend. Again this show goes out of its way to make Logan into a saint at the cost of other characters.

Weird relationship that Wolverine and the X-Men hinted at was Angel & Storm. I get that show really sidelined Storm to where she was largely a background character but after her intro episode, her only subplot was implying she & Angel were maybe a thing. And they had zero chemistry.

Keep in mind as I said before this is a stereotype. But again it was the 90’s & they heavily used these cliches to imply queerness, since they would not be allowed to openly show it.

Maggie Sawyer as a lesbian for example was given the “butch woman” approach with having short hair and a deep voice.

I know this is an outdated stereotype, but since Superman the Animated Series was created in the 90’s was John Henry Irons supposed to be gay coded?

I only ask because they animated him with his earring in the right ear, which back in the 90’s was seen as an indication of being gay.

I love Maggie Sawyer in the Superman the Animated Series, particularly as the first openly gay character in the DCAU.

But that being said, madam you are a police officer. Put on some pants. Bare legs does not seem wise in your line of work.

I’m re-watching the Batman/Superman: World’s Finest DCAU movie, and did not realize as a kid how many people joker probably killed by using the LexWing to bomb Metropolis. Even though Batman and Superman stopped the attack, thousands of people were probably injured or killed.
