I binge watched Gate a while back. I really enjoyed it.

This is the thought that goes through my head every time my son asks to watch Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

That Superman outfit is essentially the Connor Kent Superboy outfit. Likewise the Straczynski Wonder Woman went with a leather jacket and such. People hated it.

Batman's size varies a lot in the DCAU. I think there is a Bruce Timm interview where he talks about how the character design had to change to fit in with the cast and the role they were expecting him to play.

Early in Batman TAS he was fairly lean. Then he gets bigger when the art style changes and Tim Drake shows up. He and Superman are essentially the same size in the Batman/Superman crossover episodes. Then in Justice League he seems to get smaller (or at least leaner) to be a better counterpoint to a big strong Superman. And Bruce is still quite stocky in Batman Beyond to contrast with a young lean Terry. It's generally hard to get a good feel for his height, because the length of the ears on the cowl change quite a bit.

Except that's not how trial by combat actually worked.

The Jungle Book is not a novel. It is a collection of short stories. Which is why the movie probably seems to ramble a bit and lack a strong through-plot.

Interesting but not especially accurate. Among other things, the ancestor of the modern domesticated cow is the aurochs. They have a lot more in common with buffalo than the modern cow. They're huge and have massive horns, but this didn't stop them from being domesticated twice in both India and Eurasia.

None of them are as good as James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek) who used the Star Trek convention circuit to keep a fan from committing suicide.

This makes very little sense to me. You can buy an inexpensive tent that sleeps 2 for $30 at Walmart. It won't last forever, but it will last multiple uses and packs up very small. And it will last far longer than a $16 cardboard tent will in the rain. Perhaps European pricing on camping goods isn't as good with VAT, etc.?

1955 Doc asks Marty who the President is in 1985. Marty replies that it is Ronald Reagan. Doc replies incredulously saying "The actor?" This is one of Reagan's favorite lines in the movie. He made the projectionist stop and rewind the film at least once so he could hear it again.

This sounds like a job for John Farrier.

Great idea, except that my indoor cat hates all collars with a passion. Also I have an orange cat so you would never see the collar. And cat collars should be break-away anyway which means any cat that is outside long enough won't have one.

So it's the Running Man only the way Stephen King actually wrote it?

This is true of a lot of medieval items that didn't really exist. For instance the iron maiden and several other torture devices were basically made up based on mistranslations of medieval documents.
