Captain Victorious: It's an army of robots, Dynaman! Dynaman: Let's get 'em, Captain Victorious! Captain: Y'know, whatever happened to human henchmen? I remember a time when you'd go to a super-battle and get to fight real people! Nowadays, it's all killer robots and death machines and artificial intelligence! Maybe you'll fight a genetically altered freak once and a while, but that's it! It's just so sterile these days. Where's the personal touch? Where's the humanity? Dynaman: The humanity of wholesale carnage? Captain: Yeah! Y'know, when clobbering a bunch of guys meant something!
Where’s the carnage? Where are the blue-gray guts coiling out of the bodies of the henchmen I splatter? Where’s the smell of burned bacon and loose bowels?
Cap, give me a pile of smoldering wire and some plastic bits, any day.
