Read MoreIn 1973, long before the internet, smartphones, or ChatGPT, the legendary animated series Super Friends delivered a surprisingly eerie warning about artificial intelligence. The episode “Professor Goodfellow’s G.E.E.C.” may have looked like harmless Saturday morning entertainment, but beneath the colorful animation was a chilling prediction about machines gaining too much control over humanity. The episode centers around Professor Goodfellow, a brilliant scientist who creates G.E.E.C., an advanced computer system designed to help mankind. At first, G.E.E.C. appears to be the perfect invention. It can solve problems instantly, process information faster…
Read MoreBy: R.A. Rayne When Marvel brought back Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans of the Netflix series Daredevil were thrilled. His portrayal of the blind vigilante lawyer of Hell’s Kitchen was pulled directly from the comics and exactly what fans had hoped the character would be. But Marvel didn’t stop there! A short time later, Marvel surprised audiences by bringing Vincent D’Onofrio back for the Disney+ series Hawkeye, further cementing the legacy of the Netflix Marvel series within the MCU. D’Onofrio’s portrayal of Wilson Fisk,…

Read MoreBy Destro Designs- Viper Den Studios 1986, the Year of the Joe, was put on a pedestal because of the explosion of imagination surrounding my entire habitat. I lived across the street from a Pizza Hut with an arcade game, and there was a laundromat down the street with 3–4 rotating arcade machines. I had family scattered in all directions throughout our grid-style neighborhood that stretched from the hill to the river, end to end, with my house sitting right in the middle of it all. With family “close enough,”…
Read MoreStory By @GIJoeRepairShop Recently, there was a short article here detailing the background and legacy of “Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears.” This got me thinking about my favorite episode. It is one in which the bears finally escape the trees and take flight. They soar high over their home, seeing the forest from above for the first time. I was happy to see them doing something so unusual and cool. The memory has stuck with me all these years later. As an adult, though, I have to ask what…
Read MoreThere are moments in G.I. Joe history where a concept appears briefly—almost like lightning—and then disappears before it ever gets the spotlight it deserves. The Cobra Valkyrie is one of those moments. Introduced as elite female operatives, the Valkyries weren’t just background troopers—they were something more. Precision-trained. Highly disciplined. Unflinchingly loyal to Cobra’s command structure. But what truly set them apart came during the unforgettable episode “Spell of the Siren.” And that’s where their legacy should have begun… not ended. Picture this: a remote island shrouded in mystery, ancient power…

Read MoreThere’s something timeless about the clever antics of Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales, a cartoon that blended humor, education, and pure Saturday morning charm into a delightful package. Premiering in 1963, the series introduced audiences to one of animation’s most ambitious penguins, Tennessee Tuxedo, and his loyal, well-meaning walrus companion, Chumley. Created by the inventive minds at Total Television, the show stood out for its mix of storytelling and educational segments, making learning feel like an adventure rather than a chore. At the heart of the series was Tennessee himself—a…
Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios To me, the best year of G.I. Joe is 1986. The combination of figures, playsets, and flat-out iconic awesomeness can’t be matched. 1985 does a great job trying, but forget it. 1986 is where it was at. By this point, I had seen so many movies in the horror and action genres that I had a pretty good idea of what real action actually looked like. I’m going to break down all of the different figures and playsets over the course of a…
Read MoreWhen Momaw Nadon first appeared in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, he didn’t speak a word, wield a weapon, or even move much beyond a subtle turn of the head. Yet somehow, this strange, hammer-headed alien seated in the Mos Eisley Cantina captured imaginations around the world. Nearly five decades later, Momaw Nadon—affectionately known by fans as “Hammerhead”—remains one of the most beloved background characters in the entire Star Wars galaxy. So how did a blink-and-you-miss-it alien become an icon? Part of the magic lies in the…
Read MoreEvery year when May the 4th rolls around, fans gather in celebration—lightsabers glowing, music swelling, and memories rushing back. It’s a party filled with nostalgia, quoting lines, and reliving epic battles. But if you really look at what made the six films created by George Lucas so unforgettable, it wasn’t just the starships or the wars. It was something far more powerful: family. From the very beginning of Star Wars, the story wasn’t just about rebels versus empires. It was about a farm boy staring at twin suns, longing for…

Read MoreBy: R.A. Rayne Just in time for the May 4th Star Wars celebration, Disney unveiled the new overlay for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Nearly 50 years ago, George Lucas took us to a galaxy far, far away, and in 1999, he took us even further back with the Prequels. Well, staying true to Star Wars fashion, Disney has brought its Star Wars Land theme park back to the OG era. On August 15, 2015, at the D23 Expo, former Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that the expansion would occupy 14…
