Nowadays, it is certain that the Super Friends would be labeled as an educational/informative show. It’s full of over half the knowing as a typical episode of G.I. Joe: Gravity works like a magnet? Check. Things are made of atoms called “electrons?” Got it. A Native American man pushes the Earth out of orbit in order to fight a giant Viking? I think NOVA had a whole episode devoted to that.
On the other hand, sometimes it’s really hard to write a graceful segue.
In this classic Penny Arcade comic, webcomic auteurs par excellences Gabe and Tycho have written a surprisingly nuanced deconstruction of the entire Wonder Twins canon. I think it might even explain why Bizarro had better grammar than Wonderdog.
