Insane (but good) Cartoon-Movie


Okay.  So I'm sitting here watching "Justice League: The New Frontier."  It's an hour and 15 minutes of the origins of the Justice League.  It's insane!!  Two words: fascinating and cheesy!

There were a couple mentions of God.  They were battling something from the center of the Earth that kept spewing out monsters that were like dinosaurs, was taking over weak minds, creating cults in its honor, and telling the heroes they didn't have the will/power to defeat it.  Anyone else think that sounds like a veiled semblance of Satan?  And so it was the person newest to his power and the an originally true human who saved the day after Superman, in his usual Christ-like manner, sacrificed himself for all. And, of course, he did later rise from the "dead" - in case you wondered.

It also touched on politics, condemning the veritable "witch hunts" of the late 50s and championing a coming together of the nation despite individual differences.  It concludes with JFK's "new frontier" speech.

So that covers the fascinating part.  Anyone for some cheese?  Wow.  It usually had to do with moments involving girlfriends of some of the male heroes - The Flash, Superman, and The Green Lantern - but there were just some funny, funny lines and moments in general.

It was a fun way to spend a little over an hour between church and play practice.  I think I'd recommend it to anyone with at least some familiarity with the characters.  If you have no idea who many of these people are, you'd probably feel a bit lost..but maybe that's okay, too, because that's sort of what these heroes are in the world to do - save the lost.
