fiction is lying.

Supplemental: To go along with yesterday’s crying about how good adult swim was this week, I wanted to mention another two videos that are retarded for different reasons and involve prototypical, non-Japanese, foreign superhero images.

I have explained these in a video here, while mostly saying “retarded” instead of “absurdist” to piss off the establishment.

First, the newer of the two, Return to Supermans (from channel101):

And what is described as a trailer from the 60s, Italian Spiderman:

Now I know these things are old news, but I just can’t shake the feeling that they’re too related. After further review they’re not nearly as similar as I thought, but just retarded. Hilarious, but retarded.

Also, painful, vcr-edited, clip-sound low-fi is hot shit right now.
