Cap out here teaching the kids that you can just be a girl

Some kids talking to Captain America. One says "It could happen! We could become a team of superheroes!" Another says, "We can be anything, Captain America!" A third says "Girls, too!"

I googled “patron saint of frogs” for a bit and then immediately abandoned the bit because I would so much rather actually talk about St. Ulphia the 8th century hermit who cursed her local frogs for keeping her up at night and making her sleep through church

Her hermitage was located in a marshy wetland, inhabited by frogs whose loud croaking kept her up all night. One day, she was so tired that she slept through when Domitius knocked at her door, and he, thinking she had already gone on ahead, left without her. Legend states that Ulphia placed the frogs in the area around her under interdict as a result of their loud croaking, which kept her awake at nights.
A 19th century hagiographer noted that the frogs in the area around the oratory of Saint Ulphia were, indeed, very quiet. However, if these frogs were taken elsewhere, they became boisterous once again.
At the end of her life, she formed and directed a community of religious women at Amiens.
In iconography, she is depicted as a young nun seated in prayer on a rock with a frog in the pool near her.

As long as they're pretending Image was only founded by six guys, not seven, I'd have expected Rob to be the one they ignored, not Whilce.

No matter how you feel about it, the Tron stuff looks great.
It’s great how they can properly pose on the classic bikes. Cool effects! Great faces in both the small 80s Haslab characters and the larger retail Legacy guys.

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

And I think most importantly, it never really got parodied. Think about how Muppet Babies would do Star Wars or Indiana Jones pastiches, that shows those were actually in the zeitgeist. Tron never got that until, what, South Park?
