Duck Dodgers!

I finally got to see the GL episode of Duck Dodgers last night. Twice. I damn near had a Lanterngasm. :-) They had everyone! I mean everyone. Kilowog (voiced by John DiMaggio), Katma Tui (voiced by Tara Strong), Sinestro (voiced by John de Lancie) and Hal Jordan (voiced by Kevin Smith) were all there, of course, but they had Tomar-Re and Boodikka in nice segments, and had background appearances by everyone from Guy Gardner to Ch'P, from that plant-haired guy Alan Moore wrote about to G'Nort. It was just amazing. Other than Kyle and Rond Vidar, I don't think a single Lantern was left out (there was even a cartoonish John Stewart). Just amazing.

Oh man. I wish I'd caught that. Duck Dodgers has really surprised me. Hopefully I can grab it online.

I missed it too, but it'll be on again this Friday at 7:30 eastern.

Cool. Thanks.

Let me know if you miss it. I've got it on the computer (thanks to tivo) and might be able to figure out how to put it on a disk.

No Arisia?

I can't believe you wouldn't mention Arisia, if Arisia had been there.

She was there, but I had to freeze-frame to figure it out, and she was a bit cartoonish. No dialog, alas. Boodikka got the role that Arisia should have, imho.

I don't even remember a Boodikka.

She appeared mostly during the final days of the corps (I think she was created after 1990), mostly in the main GL book and the quarterly. She got her hand chopped off fighting Hal, and is still presumed dead (since she was left drifting in space).

Ah, well, I was already gone from super-hero books before Hal turned evil.

Boudicca was a queen of the ancient Britons who fought against the Romans (and in the alternate spelling, "Boadicea," it's the Vicar of Dibley's first name). Did Boodikka's life allude to that in any way?

She was a warrior woman, and like the queen she's named after, she died after most of her army (the Bellatrix Bombers, I kid you not) were killed. No suicide, though.

Rond was... wait. [sifts through various quantum realities] Remind me about Rond? I'm having problems associating him w/ the Corps.

In Legion of Super-Heroes, set in the 30th-century, Rond Vidar was the son of frequent Legion villain Universo, who had hypnotic abilities. But Rond was a good guy, and after helping the Legion defeat Universo a time or two he was made an honorary Legionnaire.

In the current continuity he was revealed a few years ago to be a covert Green Lantern; covert because, for reasons I can't remember, Green Lanterns had been banned from Earth.

The reasons were that Rond's dad, while still a GL, attempted to get to the information about the formation of the universe that the Guardians wanted to be kept hidden. This was after he and two other GLs had stopped the Legion from discovering the same info. The Guardians apparantly pissed off the Earth gov. Interplanetary politics as usual.

Did we ever find out whose hand that was?

[personal profile] yendi 2003-10-20 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think so. Although if it was ever told, I'd bet it was somewhere in the Levitz LSH run.

Rond was the 30th Century GL, and the son of Vidar, the GL who became Universo.

Thank you kindly. That all was lurking in the back of my mind, but refused to come when called. Bad dog.

Well, no Kyle or Jade, but tha'd be for obvious reasons...

Waitasec. They had Hal, John, and whatshisnamethejerk. Guy.

They forgot Kyle and Jade!

I'd suspect that Jade (like Alan Scott) wouldn't count, since they were never really a part of the Corps.

Ahhh...

That makes sense. ^_^

My man Alan could still kick all their space-police butts from here to Xanthu and back.

No argument from me (especially in light of his power changes in JSA), but since he was never really a corps member, I figure that's why he wasn't around.

[identity profile] sff-corgi.livejournal.com 2003-10-20 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
I think they ignored Kyle. These guys (Paul Dini et al) are a bunch of old-tyme fen kinda like me. The Great DC Image-Comics-Panic Changes are ignorable canon.

Not knowing much about the GLs, I still thought the whole episode was hysterical. Especially after sitting there for three whole minutes saying "Whose voice is that?" and then going "OMG, it's John de Lancie! Eeeeee!"

:-) He doesn't do much cartoon voice work, either, so it was a bit of a surprise.

[identity profile] fornorald.livejournal.com 2003-10-20 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yah, I'm glad you mentioned that he was the one doing Sinestro's voice, since I wasn't able to figure it out at the time. It bugged me the entire episode (which was fall-off-the-couch funny).

[identity profile] oneechan19.livejournal.com 2003-10-20 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
my brother was watching that on tv last night. very interesting.

John de Lancie has to make a great Sinestro. Just seems a good match to me.

Not that I know GL that well... Last I remember seeing in comics was Hal going insane and evil, and I thought that was really stretching it.

I really resent DC for killing off some of my best friends.
