The film became the 2nd massive horror hit of that same year--Bela Lugosi's DRACULA had been the 1st--and not only established Universal as THE horror studio but established horror itself in the sound era.

Maybe trickster Spidey has nothing better to do. Or maybe, there is nothing better to do.

All of the Defenders were misfits. Some were *really* messed up. "We never had anything like this in MY team," one can imagine Avenger Yellowjacket thinking of the Valkyrie's peculiar circumstances.

Some of the most powerful beings on Earth, the Defenders were outsiders who had to try to find their own places, their own identities, in a world where they just didn't fit.

The Hulk, Marvel's rage-powered engine of destruction, experiences an existential crisis! These sorts of weird, off-the-wall takes are the sorts of thing that really endeared the Defenders to its fans.

The Defenders made for a great, crazy, often wildly inventive book from a time when Marvel was, with mixed success, embracing a lot of seemingly-weird, outside-the-box ideas.

How do you follow up Joe Kubert's incredible run of Tarzan comics? If you're Marvel, you try a leisurely--and, for a Marvel book, remarkably sedate--10-part adaptation of Burroughs' "Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar."
A great cover for #5, by Big John Buscema and Pablo Marcos:

Pelosi, Schumer and Biden went along with separating the infrastructure portions of BBB from the larger package, an effort to kill the larger bill with all the important stuff in it, but those "Democratic leaders" assured Americans that both would have to pass.

The CCES has Sanders delivering 75% of his votes to Clinton--overwhelming support. Here's some of the rest of what happened in those states (using those CCES numbers, among others) to illustrate part of why the narrative you're repeating isn't even remotely supportable:

Your assertion was that "the first paragraph of her wiki page lists umpteen legislative and initiative achievements." That is false. And it's rather embarrassing to make a blunder like that then bluster about anyone else's "reading comprehension."

Clinton's complete legislative record, by the standards the Clinton cult uses to judge Sanders, rendered as a meme.
Meanwhile, in the real world, here, rendered as a handy meme, is Clinton's complete Senate legislative record, using the same standard the Clinton cult has used for Sanders (stuff she sponsored that passed--with the caveat that this is a terrible way to judge a legislator).

A good, fun little genre-blender, from a time when Westerns were insanely popular and horror was making a major comeback. Even quite atmospheric at times.

Less than a year later, in fact, David F. Friedman had THE ADULT VERSION OF JEKYLL & HIDE on the screen, and more would follow in the decades since. But DR. JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE is by far, the best of the lot.

The film was written by Brian Clemens, one of the real undersung stars of late Hammer horror, and beside Stevenson, his riot of a screenplay also manages to work in both the Jack the Ripper and Burke/Hare killings.
