Monty's Marathon Diary: Wonder Woman...To The Extreme!


Recommended Posts

(edited)

In "Formicida," I'm fascinated that "the Ant Queen's" magic ant formula induces a transformation from meek scientist to, um, ant-hormone-lady that turns out to to consist of her very suddenly appearing in bronzer, a curly wig, and a leotard while the lights flashed a lot. (And I have absolutely no idea what bronzer, curly wigs, and leotards have to do with controlling ants.) Honestly, it would have made more sense to use something like Ant-Man's helmet--they probably could have drummed up a motorcycle helmet with some blinky lights successfully.

They get points for attempting an actual comic booky like villain (even with a redemption arc at the end) but sadly the episode was largely proof as to why they had not the budget, FX, nor creative designers to do more such stories. "Evil real estate developer" they at least didn't have to worry about special effects for.

I recall when I was three years old, the "Gault's Brain" episode absolutely FREAKING TERRIFIED me. To a toddler watching on a fuzzy TV, the evil brain seemed SO REAL. Which makes the episode all the more hilarious to me now, given how ridiculous the brain in a jar looks. Gault gets credit though, for prototyping the Kindle.
