Esp. to take WW down.  Nice 'dirty fighting' on his part too <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />The "I was playing bad cop" and "your Always 'bad cop' " exchange.Things I was a little less excited about...Grundy was a little hulky, but not too much so I guess.  The Grundy of the 'toon is much more 'hulk-like' than the usual portrayal in the comics, so it did go with their own portrayal.(Oh I really did like the part with Grundy and the cookies! haha!)I don't think 'Ichthultu' looked very much like a 'squid' despite one of the characters calling him 'squid face' (or something like that)  I think one of the characters called him worm face or something like that though and that was funny.Ichthultu didn't seem like that bad of a 'guy' although I don't think they really ever did say What the Thangarans were sacrificing to him...I guess the given was a "human (thangaran) sacrifice."SO was 'Poseidon' in Atlantis the god 'Poseidon'...they have established the Greek pantheon as active in the DCU and kept that going well, it actually made me appreciate continuity that Both WW and Aqua are Greek pantheon followers...Ohh..other things I liked...Inza, she was great!  I liked her a lot-Ichtultu's conversation with Hawkgirl, and I believe he said he had faith in her?although I didn't feel he was very Cthulhu like by this point, but he did remind me of a villain that appeared a bunch(?) of times in Green Lantern a while back.  I can't think of his name but he was the titanic dead=god-thing that GL fought a few times, I know somebody out there must know who I am talking about!?Other observations...the tentacle monster that attacked the cruise ship reminded me a lot of the critter from Deep Rising, not really a bad thing <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Another note about the continuing Marvelization used in the Cartoon vs. the Comics.  The military force at the begging reminded me of SHEILD more than anything and I thought the Captain or whatever he was reminded me of Dugan (who just appeared in the Ultimate X-men this month)I did like this episode though,  going with the magic stuff is a lot safer for the writers than the tech stuff!!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />and once again..Doctor Fate (and Inza) rocked!!Ahh that Superman, what a trouble maker! haha!I hope they do another Defenders-JL again soon!</blockquote>
