Quoted from James McClung Also... Matter-Eater Lad. Had to look this up. Turns out while brainstorming for this OWC, I came up with what I thought was an original character who had these exact same powers. I thought it was hilarious due to how inane and useless the powers are (I mean, even if he can eat anything, how fucking time-consuming; can't exactly employ in an emergency situation). Not sure if I should be proud to be thinking along the same lines as DC... or just embarrassed for DC and the fact that this is actually intellectual property.

Probably the best part of Matter Eater Lad: his home planet of Bismoll.  As in Pepto-Bismol.

I've not read other comments. And I'm late to the occasion. Rather.

I wanted to comment on this one, as it was one of the few I liked as soon as I started reading it. There are errors. But even those expensive paintings in galleries are not perfect any more.

It's also all over the show, plot wise I mean. Nevertheless, it did make me smirk a few times.

I could go on, but you get the idea. I like this script. Later on I'm going to read it again.

Quoted from DustinBowcot Not really my kind of humour, but I can see that this is liked by most that have read it.

I've now realised why this is liked by most that have read it... the writer told them who he was before they reviewed. So afraid of having the script slaughtered you had to tell your friends. Not just your friends, but even going so far as to cry about it in a public thread to everyone else, garnering even more overly pleasant reviews.

Oh well, if that's what you need to feel better, who am I to argue. Seems to me that positive reviews on this site are more important to you than actually getting anything produced. You just want people to lie to you.

Gotta disagree with you here Dustin. Mark only let people know it was his because he knew it would be ignored a bit because he went over the page length. I agreed to read it off my own bat and I gave it 7 laughs because it was pretty funny.

Dustin,

I don't think Mark was concerned with glowing reviews at all. And he didn't want peeps to lie to him either. Go back and look at his rant on the OWC thread. He was freakin pissed off that no one was reading it and how his script, and two others, were singled out for exceeding the page limit, almost guaranteeing that they wouldnt get as many reads as the rest. Now, it's unfortunate that he went over the  limit, and no excuse is going to change that fact. Understood. But all Mark wanted was a fair shake from the readers, like it or don't. If some readers now choose to look at it through rose colored glasses, that's their business and certainly not what Mark had intended.

I read this because Mark read mine. Fair is fair. Not sure if I would call my review glowing, although it certainly wasn't harsh either.

Would I have read the script if Mark hadn't revealed it was his? No. If the point of him doing so was to try and get more reads, it worked, and that's indeed shitty, but I don't think that's the case. Even so, he read my script, and fair is fair. Admittedly, that's an element I sorta glossed over thinking about scripts that exceeded the page length.

On the issue at large though, the page length was discussed at length before the deadline. Some people said they would avoid scripts that went over, and others said that's been the case in the past. At that point, I think not getting reads is the risk you take posting scripts that exceed the page length, and you're ultimately responsible for it.

Can't say that this one really worked too well for me. It took a while to get into the story and there's a lot of dialogue that could easily be cut to speed things up and get the script to fit the page limits.

There's a lot going on with different characters and the story itself didn't really hold my attention or seem like it was going anywhere. Quite a few writing errors throughout, I'm guessing this was rushed.

I thought there were some very funny one liners in here, made me lol, which few have managed to do.

But, I thought the action got a little repetitive and there were too many heroes on display for me, got a little confusing.

Props for getting Hong Kong Phooey in though - awesome!

I said this to Pia once, and will say it again.  I think it'd be a blast to do our take on a kids' cartoon we watched, well, as kids.  Since you are over the pond, did you get Hong Kong Phooney?  Herculoids etc?  It could be a blast.  I know that some countries didn't have access to some of the shows (HR Pufnstuf anyone, I still can't believe what they'd say actually made it past the censors) but, it would be fun.

Best HR Pufnstuf line (IMO) was "Hey Timmy, can I touch your magic flute?"  Yes, I know he has a magic flute, but, come'on you know there are so many other ways that could be taken.  And they already admitted that most of the show was done while everyone was high.  

And I gotta admit, I was a bit traumatized when I found out that witchie-poo was a man.

This is scary, I swear I'm sat reading this in my Hong Kong Phooey shirt lol.

Well if I didn't already know who wrote this I think I could have probably guessed.  A good number of comedy gold lines that had me chuckling, none more so than Spiderman's 'Excuse me, ugly wench' lol.

I'm not sure how much plot is here but it's certainly funny but, is Hong Kong Phooey a super hero?

I enjoyed this, good effort.
