Is that a Spider-Man rip-off in the middle of the scene at 3:24?

@cmaprice: that would be HARD to do in three minutes
there's a lot of story though
but I agree, more people need to know what's up with the Runaways
they rock pretty hard

@G-Man: that's a very good point
I'm sure on any of these videos you could go on and on for a hot minute if there wasn't a time constraint 
I mean, Emma Frost could have been a 29 minute expert if you wanted it to be
and If you think it might help, I do happen to look pretty good on camera if I do say so myself 
and I just happen to speak incredibly fast
Just think of the amount of information I could pack into a three minute video?
A lot: that's how much!
I would probably consider assuming the role as 3 Minute Expert official spokesperson if it was offered to me
I think I could work it into my schedule

but seriously,  I'm glad you did  Zan and Jayna
they get no respect

For some reason this made me really want to see you make a Runaways 3-Minute Expert. It's a team that's often ignored, despite the entire runs from Brian K Vaughan and Joss Whedon being brilliant.

@Shadowdoggy: I don't care what the Rolling Stones said, time is not on my side. You can see (and some people complain) that these videos tend to go over three minutes. I try to get as much in them as possible but some stuff simply has to get cut. Sure we could extend the time further but the point is to try to keep it brief.

 Wow, that's a lot more about the Wonder Twins than I though actually existed.   
  
I'm happy to say that I contributed a SuperFriends parody to the pantheon of SuperFriends parodies.  This one was for Watchmen, and was a shot for shot remake of the initial trailer.  It features the Wonder Twins and Gleek in a prominent way.

I say do another retcon and bring them back in the current continuity with their old super friends past story, but updated to have the quality of today stuff.  and have it written and drawn by some popular artists and writers.  like Maguire and Giffen.

Good job G-man, I love the 3-minute experts. 
 
PS that cat in the early part of the video, during their origin looks like battle cat from he-man.

I helped the Wonder Twins back in my interning days.
 
They were captured and couldn't quite touch, so I put my cute little nose in the space between then became a conduit for their powers.
 
And another time I used my tail to get the keys to the cell.

He forgot to mention Zan can create buckets when in water form! 
Zan sounds completely useless and Jayna's powers sound like they're a rip off Beast Boy's.

Tony looks like a Wonder Twin. In fact, Tony blends into one of the comic book panels in the background. I'm like, "Where's Tony?" I felt like he should  have done the Hussle while  he was telling the origin story - "Boom-chicka, WOW-WOW!"

The first comic I ever owned was the Super-Friends Special and watching them every Saturday was the best part of cartoons back then. A great retro 3 minutes.

This was great, especially as had just finished watching an old Superfriends episode on some retro channel I found.

I remember not liking them much while growing up, and now I can say that I feel the same way.  Kinda campy.

Well, Joey deserves a raise. That little touch was beautifully done. 
 
I hope moving goes well for the staff. I almost forget there is no podcast this week.

I love the editing touch of G-Man changing into water there at the end. It was really well done.
