2->''"As for Deadpool, when he first showed up, comic fans correctly noticed that he was just a rip-off of DC's Deathstroke the Terminator. And while Deadpool eventually gained a cult following, his lack of mainstream success was ultimately what allowed the series to be so irreverent. According to writer Joe Kelly, they "could do anything" because "everybody just expected the book to be cancelled every five seconds." So had Deadpool actually been popular, he never would have become popular, if that makes any sense."''

He's really a wonder to watch here. Supremely confident in his craft, he's got the Fonzie character nailed, and you can tell he's just as astounded as everybody else in the cast that this role was rapidly becoming a national, cultural phenomenon. And that's not overstating the popularity of the Fonzie character; if you weren't born back then, just ask somebody who grew during the [[UsefulNotes/TheSeventies 1970s]] about the reach of this character into the pop culture fabric."''

It doesn't matter that the food [[WeirdWorldWeirdFood isn't what most humans would consider normal]]. It just is what it is, and is appreciated for it. Plus, it has a Klingon restauranteur who serenades his guests on what looks like a Klingon fiddle.

86'''David''': That makes an absolutely astonishing amount of sense. She's really [[CompositeCharacter an amalgam of the two characters]], and I like that a lot. I think she’s the only character on the show who’s having fun.\
87'''Chris''': Yeah, everyone else is either [[{{Wangst}} mired in indecision (Clark), exceptionally grim (Green Arrow)]] or [[OutOfFocus Totally Not Appearing In This Season]] (Chloe).

Obviously, you take the Sim version as the base and add in the kid from [[Creator/GeorgeCScott Scott.]] Get Topper from the [[Creator/PatrickStewart Captain Picard]] version. You may not remember Topper, but he's one of Scrooge's nephew's buddies, and in the book, he's a bit of a ladies man. Most versions just kinda dismiss him, but not the case here.
