God that's sad. I really liked Mechad and thought he and Melissa had great chemistry.

Felt more like TRIGUN on fast forward.
A great way to start.
The villain—-Angora Lapin?
—or a pre-Luthor Mercy Graves?
He's dating a super villain? Or is she a hero now?
I think she's Livewire.
Comet the Superhorse?
The love affair a young girl has with her horse is special and full of wonder.
Her relationship with Comet is so Silver Age!
Of course their modern relationship will be coming up in the Supergirl movie if it follows King's story.

Peter David Used Comet in his 90s/00s series, as a mysterious sexy alien.
As opposed to a mysterious/sexy greek mythological figure?
They are making a My Big Fat Greek Wedding III.
Sweet!
If I had a dollar for every time someone erroneously referred to Richard Donner's Superman (1978) as "the first Superman movie," I'd ... well, I'd have a few extra bucks. Here's a fine look back at the real first Superman movie, 1951's Superman and the Mole-Men, starring the great George Reeves. The video provides an excellent overview of the film, a sampling of some of its best lines, and a lot of timely sociopolitical commentary ... none of which is imposed on the film, but all of which is right there in the plain text of its narrative. Too bad it's all still so very relevant today.
Totally forgot there was a MBFGW2.
I didn't know that was released as a movie before it was episodes of the show.
The earlier serials were never glued together for a public screening?
Hmm... I think the Batman serials might have gotten a screening in the Sixties but I don't know if the Superman serials ever did.
Not to my knowledge. Anyway, a single serial would be around a five-hour movie. Plus the story structure is designed for chapter presentation, not viewing as a continuous narrative.
Some Adventures of Superman episodes, however, were edited together as features for theatrical distribution outside the US. They even shot an additional scene here and there to bridge the movies' narratives from one episode's plot to the next. Unfortunately, I don't believe any of the films have survived, or if they have, they haven't been seen publicly in many decades. More info than any sane person probably wants to know can be found here:

It kind of cracked me up when I was watching the two episode version how the creatures were just kids in bald caps, but yet the people who saw them acted like they were the most terrifying thing they'd ever seen. I understand it was the '50s and the show didn't have the access to the kind of make up and effects we have today, but you'd still think they could come up with something to make them at least a little scarier and less human
If the characters were that terrified of creatures that looked like kids with a little hair, I'd have think they would have reacted if they encountered kids with alopecia.
