As noted in A Crayon Haiku #47, some pretty questionable stuff happens on “Justice League Unlimited”. And to think, children are watching this show! By the way, did anyone catch the episode when Grodd tried to turn everyone on Earth into an ape? What the fuck was that supposed to accomplish? They still retained their intelligence — and, in the cases of the superheroes, their powers — so I kinda don’t get it, especially given that Grodd has consistently been shown to prefer human women to gorilla gals. I mean, Giganta started out as a bleeding gorilla, and he altered her genetic structure to make her look like a natural (human) woman! And I thank him for that, because Giganta is seriously hot.
Seriously.
Nice haiku. For some reason I never would have expected any JLU stuff on this site.
Personally, I don’t mind the questionable content on the show. That stuff tends to fly over kids’ heads without them noticing. They’ll just think they’re dating. And if they do get it, only a very small percent of them will go on to have gorilla fetishes, and that’s only because they’re weird.
The “turn everyone into apes” thing. While I think JLU is a great show, a lot of episodes have moments of stupidity like that. Like the episode where that general hulked out on Captain Nazi serum and beat the crap out of a few of the heroes. At the end they were saved by a brave crowd of civilians that came out of nowhere, lead by a Wise Old Lady who talks the guy down by pointing out his own contradictions. Scenes with crowds like that are just cheesy and anticlimatic, but that might just be my personal taste. The entire episode with Hawk and Dove was also pretty stupid.
On a less mature note, I don’t care if she did Grodd. Gorilla funk won’t stick to you forever. If I lived in that show’s universe and I was a completely different person, I’d still do Tala.
