Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about, look at, and investigate Snatcher.

Can you trust your eyes? Will all of these moments be lost like tears in rain? How far can you stretch the line between homage and plagiarism before it straight up snaps? Gillian Seed and his plucky little robot buddy Metal Gear are on the streets of New Kobe, seeking out humanoid robots that are killing VIPs and taking over all of society. Time to die.

Captain Planet got a raw deal. Nobody knows why he woke up the way that he did, with a head shaped like a globe. You can't blame him for being bitter... a guy with a globe for a head walks into a bank, he ain't gonna get a small business loan. So he leans into it, hanging out with some teens by the Stop-n-Grab. They scour the gutters for bottles to deposit. Captain Planet takes a cut of the proceeds, and buys them all 40's of Old English to share. He sleeps in an unadorned firetrap apartment and no longer fears death.

Continuing our search for the GECK, we run across crime lords, run down mining towns, and a conspiracy to kill all people on earth. Worst of all? Hubologists.
