Is it wrong to love theses stories? If loving Dr. Satan is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

@AngryAragami 2 жыл бұрын

I don't know about anyone else, but these stories have inspired me to go as the not-so-good doctor for halloween. I just love them so much. Edit: And also, the return of Dr. Satan's disguise for his disguise! I love how silly it is in concept, that he wears a large hat and cloak over his outfit when he goes out.

I'm going to predict he also had the face transplant procedure from "Face Off", so has another "mask" beneath that satan mask

If anyone has seen the French film series Fantomas (for whom the badass Melvins + Mike Patton noise / instrumental band is named) it's clear it borrows heavily from these stories. I speak only about 10 words of French and still enjoyed the first Fantomas movie without subs because, like the Dr. Satan stories, they're so over-the-top nuts and campy that you can follow along even if you can't follow what they're saying.

@blixten2928 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, Fantomas is so tongue-in-cheek, cheesy and hilarious all once! Try one with sub-titles, it's worth it! (One can buy the CDs.) Good taste!

There was an Iroquois theater in Chicago that burned in 1903. If the electrician with the premonition was 14 when the Mohawk burned, if it burned in 1903 then he would have been 46 in 1935, when this story was published.

@bobbymarcum772 2 жыл бұрын

At first, the premise of this set of tales seemed kind of..well, dopey. But I did enjoy them enough to stay tuned. Enjoyed them a whole bunch, in fact, and I realized the author has used a simple though unique device to create the Doctor. Usually we expect a rich kid with a huge estate and inheritance to son, say, a bat costume and AGAINST evil...but rarely do we hear of the progeny from generations of honest toil use the empire handed to him by merit of birth to male the world MORE evil. I guess I always expected my villains to be more entrepreneurial and capitalistic in nature. Now the good Dr. Is one of a myriad of loveable supervillains I keep in my candlelit, Captain Black-scented library of weird tomes.

Wait, so it's just a skull, so no tissue or flesh on it, so no tongue to talk? No muscles to move the jaw? So it's a skull with muscles attached? And lips? but the eyes work? Oh, wait. The flesh just became invisible. OK, got it.

@bobbymarcum772 2 жыл бұрын

Yes the amount of unrealistic developments was forcing even me to abandon this weird fiction for offending my sense of scientific accuracy--a bare skull on a sentient human!!! But when I found out Dr. Satan had turned the flesh invisible, I was glad I had stayed tuned.

@andersdroid 2 жыл бұрын

Yep, most of these tales require one to abandon disbelief to enjoy the tale lol. It’s usually well worth it I’ve noticed

@susansaoirse2797 2 жыл бұрын

Nope. Invisible tissue and flesh. Not that this is actually scientifically sound, but it's a little more effort than talking fleshless skulls. For 1935 sci fi fantasy it's impressively imaginative and worth tuning into the whole story. If you're looking for realism in way out fiction, check out The Expanse. But don't expect it from this.

@@susansaoirse2797 German scientists, in ww1-ww2 era experimentation, reanimated and maintained the living functions of heads from various creatures successfully (albeit, not indefinitely) including monkeys, Cats, Chickens, cows, and Pigs. They made unnumbered unsuccessful attempts at keeping human heads going, which should at LEAST make even the staunchest materialist atheist ponder the reality of spirit being a vital component of the soul. But in this weered tail, mostly it shows us that that actresses and perhaps actors have no souls.

You must endeavor to see the project to its ultimate conclusion!😂😂
