In my heart, because of @MST3K and @rifftrax, I believe the best shared universe is the Riffed Cinematic Universe, where Birdemic and Manos and Time Chasers and Pumaman all exist in the same reality and man, I want to write the massive crossover graphic novel. #RCU forever.
But who would be the Steve Rogers of this universe? The greatest hero of them all, the core whom all the other great heroes could rally around, the tip of the spear who leads the charge when all seems lost? Who could be their brightly-shining star of hope!?
I want this pretty bad, too.
I need this
Oh, if only you knew an equally obsessed Rifftrax/MST3K fan who was a comic artist, and could draw such a thing. Someone who knew their Grocery Witches from their Marrying Turkeys. But where could you ever find someone like that?
I want to live in the world where this GN exists.
This is the cross over event we all need!!!
And if only you both had a letterer on hand who dreamed of rendering Norman's existential groan on the page.
I Accuse My Parents, Larry Csonka and Mrs. Constanza.
That’s “Pyuma Man”
the puu mayman
Can confirm. Would buy.
The NORMIVERSE in which Norman, a fool, falls into, through, and around world changing events featuring super heroes and just average heroes and actually some real dumb-dumbs only slightly less incompetent than he.
Wasn't this called Forrest Trump?
Already done I’m afraid. “Normal man” by Jim Valentino.
It can’t be THAT expensive to get the rights to those movies
Norman Krasner cameo in every film
There is no way Torgo is under copyright, just put him in The X-Men already!
@optimstie.bsky.social will have views on this, I'm sure.
Ohhhhhh, indeed. :D
Do it! You'd be the hero in our time of need.
The Master would approve!
Is there ANYTHING the Interocitor can't do?!
I'd pay good money to see you write Zap Rowsdower and Troy fight The Hobgoblins
I want to know what happens when Rowsdower helps set up a room.
My husband says "Norman. Earth's Grey Lantern." :)
Norman is the Stan Lee cameo of the RCU. He comes home to find his house has been destroyed by the giant spider invasion: “Uuuuuugggggghhhhhhhhh…”
Will Dragon Sound show up to sing about friendship and being against ninjas, oh please oh please oh please!?!?!
And I want to read it.
And not MITCHELL???
That's an awesome idea!
Don’t forget to include Supersonic Man. He can awkwardly fly alongside Pumaman.
Togo selling slurrpanels door-to-door and is trapped by the vampire queen. Mitchell is assigned the case by Lt Samurai Cop. Torgo’s creepy uncle Ator and Mitchell team up after a training montage by man from Harlem. They get drunk. Megalon steps on the house like Monty Python credits and THE END.
Written and directed by Coleman Francis.
“MITCHELL!”
Narrated by Valeria from Robot Holocaust.
Santa Clause and Santa Claus and Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny Conquer the Martians.
Mitchell v. Rowsdower: The Molson-Coors Connection.
The @rifftrax.com intro, in comic book form? Take my money!
Pumaman the rock &roll star, Italian, i believe?
We put our faith in Blast Hardcheese Gail Simone.
Bear Writeslots! Visor McHeatbeams! Bob Johnson… wait no.
I now need at least PUMAMAN VS MANOS in my hands by year's end. (But how do you fit in SPACE MUTANY)?
Blast Hardcheese, Big McLargeHuge, Thick Runfast, Buff Drinklots, and the rest are all brothers in a very large family that has multiple members in almost every industry in the universe
They're allies, how do you think all of Manos' wives learned how to do False Death?
MANOS, THE PAW OF FATE
Via BATTLESTAR GALACTICA stock footage, of course!
Inexplicably, footage will be from the rebooted Galactica, and not the original.
Personally, I'm a far bigger fan of MST3k The Movie than any individual episode, though individual episodes are still great. But if you really want to do this whole thing then just pick a place to start and get working on it. I suggest starting at goofy clown face.
And when it gets to the big moment the entire saga's been building up to: Close-up on Mitchell, bloodied but never defeated: *steely whisper, like a can of beer opening* Push the button, Frank.
Damn, now I need this! A next generation Pumaman!
Let's not forget Cinematic Titanic.
Torgo vs. a swarm of animated eagle GIFs
I am an onion
PUMAMAN MENTION
Is it too late to get @rifftrax.com to give Dr. Caligari a once-over?
Hmm, is the anchor being Donald Pleasance?
Oh my god do this please. Mitchell chases Torgo on foot! Godzilla vs. Megalon vs. Trumpy! Miles O'Keefe and Dave Ryder, together at last!
'How much Keeffee is in this movie?'
MILES O'Keefe with a side of FIST ROCKBONE
Slab Hardcheese!
When Zap Rowsdower finally picks up Mjolnir!
I lay odds on Rowsdower.
Federal agent Sam Casey will use his invisibility watch to kick Krankor's ass
While Rex Dart tearfully embraces the remains of Cherokee Jack.
And the Packers win the Super Bowl!
While watching out for snakes!!!
The Bad Movie Avengers: Zap Rowsdower, Ator, Cabot, Pumaman, and Creepy Girl
Don't forget Hawk the Slayer! He's got his own crew of reservists!
This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
"That's my secret, Cabot. I'm always creepy."
would not only watch but buy extra tickets
repeat viewings if there are a sufficient number of foppish apes
In a short sidestory by a different writer/artist, Kay and Mr. B Natural learn on a date with their family at the fair why they should study industrial arts.
Still not over the fact the chief advisor to Tory PM Boris Johnson was secretly Torgo....
Pyoomaymin! Probably my favorite episode of mst3k.
How much O'Keefe will be in this graphic novel?
Don’t forget Warwilf! I need more backstory on The Keeper, and how it ties into the backstory of Crenshaw… and the lil critter!
And Norman is their superhero case-worker/supervisor.
The Amazing Bulk post-credits scene where Ice Cube from War of the Worlds shows up.
Mr. B Natural vs. the Paper Chase Guy!
I now want this more than almost anything.
I heard this GIF.
I’ve always wanted to see an Avengers style team of the various hero-ish characters riffed by MST3K and RiffTrax. Puma Man, Measuring Man, Safety Woman, etc All battling the greatest threat the world has ever seen: Coily the spring imp.
