Quackcast 794 - Living in a Webcomic World
This week we're talking about whether it would be ok to live in the world of your webcomic. This was a fun idea proposed by Takoyama in the DD forums and we thought we'd explore it! Then we expanded it to various cinematic universes. Would you like to live in your own webcomic world or someone else's and if so, which one? And which cinematic world would you like to live in?
Out of all our own webcomic worlds we decided that Banes's Typical Strange was the best choice by far. A 1990s video rental place, with friends, hijinks, and shenanigans before the internet took over and ruined stuff? Man, in a heartbeat! That's pretty much a perfect world. Even up to the early 2000s with DVDs it would still be just as good. Take us all there now please.
In cinematic universes the choice was more blurred but we decided the Marvel Universe would probably be the worst since normal people are simply there to be victims and super people are the only ones that matter. The Star Wars world seems way too full of war but I remember that one family in Caravan of Courage, who were going off on a camping holiday before everything turned to crap… That seemed to indicate there was some normality in that world though where people can grow and raise families in peace. We also decided that the world of the original Superman film (Christopher Reaves), would be a good place to live too since there's only one main hero there originally and he loves saving people.
So what's YOUR choice? Oh, we also read out all the posts by the people who commented in the thread in funny voices.
The best off Gunwallace track this week was Holon - Sexy Scifi, Blade Runner meets Roxy Music. Originally from Quackcast 198, 22nd of December, 2014
