Cut Section of the Bat-Signal Script
Meant to upload this on Wednesday, but here is the entire cut section of the script from the Bat-Signal video! I also read it out in the above audio file. Enjoy!If you believe that his inventions actually worked, then it’s easy to see that Harry Grindell Matthews was ahead of his time. And that was precisely the problem. In a joint interview between Steven Johnson, author of Where Good Ideas Come From, and Kevin Kelly, author of What Technology Wants, they explained that inventing something too early is just as bad if not worse than being lat...

COMMENTARY: Why this Avengers video was taken down almost immediately
Time for another commentary video! Hope you're enjoying these! Last year, we did an Avengers month (similar to the Batman month we're doing right now).

Is BATMAN a Superhero? || Comic Misconceptions
A day late, but the video is finally up! This one was super fun to make. I sat down with clinical psychologist Dr. Robin Rosenberg to discuss what makes a superhero... a superhero?

Hope things go smoothly, and thanks so much for supporting what we do!

COMMENTARY: Editing Animations with X-O Manowar!

Normally, these commentaries will only be available for Patrons pledging $3 and up, but here it is for all you lovelies anyway!We're talking about the X-O Manowar video we did that took a TON of work on the animation side of things, for very little reward as it's one of our least popular videos. But hey, we knew that going in, and we still wanted to make it! Hope you like the commentary!(This is a repost because there wer...

Why the SPIDER-MAN Clone Saga Sucks! || Comic Misconceptions
This video about killed me. It's almost 20 minutes long, involves multiple Scotts, and required a TON of research into Marvel back in the 90s. All in all, it's one of the best videos we've ever made, and I hope you dig it! :)
