I thought the ...I liked this one more than you did. I thought the electric guitar (and as a rule, I *hate* electric guitar in an instrumental score, thanks a lot Attack of the Clones) riff on Superman's theme was a fun variation, and for me, the Lex cameo(s) is one of the best gags in STAS. I even think some of Lobo's gags are funny, like his exasperated "Now?!" when Superman calls him to cash in on his debt. Plus, I thought the bit with the animal habitats was clever- it wasn't about luring them in to a dangerous creature, just an environment that recharges him.<br /><br />So I cut this one a bit more slack; medium-low if not medium. Yeah, there's plenty of dumb stuff, and those pacification sex-robots/knockout gas emitters are more than a little disturbing, both existentially and design-wise. But I guess I tend to remember the little gems (or the things, above, that played as such to me, at least) and forget the junk in-between.Andrew Gilbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604304361825660940noreply@blogger.com
