Didn’t Marvel do a bunch of Power Ranger comics back in the day?

Marvel actually did a lot of stuff in relation to Super Sentai. Hell, the japanese adaptation to Spider-Man was the reason Super Sentai has robot fights.

What, really?

Yup. Back in the 70s Marvel and Toei made a deal for a live action Spider Man and a live action Captain America. What we got out of it was the toku Spider Man series…

And Battle Fever J, which was the first Sentai with a giant robot.

They give the team a giant robot because of how popular the giant robot in the Spider Man toku (…I don’t know) was. If it wasn’t for Marvel’s influence on the franchise, Super Sentai might not have been so long running, and might not have gotten adapted into Power Rangers.

“Never let your enemy tell you how many of you there are. Never let the man that you’re against form your opinions. This is the trick that’s played on everyone who’s oppressed: when you have a revolution in a country, the first thing you take over is the radio. Then, you start telling the people that the war is over, so all of them surrender. They believe that thing right there.

And once they take that over, they start telling you where you are and where they are, and you fall right in line — it’s plain thought control.

The majority of the American people aren’t segregationists. The majority of the American people aren’t imperialists. But the government is. The structure is. The power faction is. So, how, then, do all the majority go along with it?

Because those who sit in power over the television, over the radio, and over the press is constantly telling those who are the masses how free they are, how this they are, and how that they are.”

The Militant Labor Forum, New York, New York, May 29th, 1964

People who are hard on yourselves: may I humbly offer you the 100 floors of frights philosophy?

In the SNL David S. Pumpkins sketch, a couple is on a ride called "100 Floors of Frights," where they see a different scare on each floor, and at one point they complain about many of those floors being lame. And then Kenan Thompson delivers this line of deep philosophical wisdom: "Hey look—it's 100 floors of frights, they not all gonna be winners."

My husband and I use this line all the time to give ourselves grace. For instance, I'm a good cook, but when I make a dinner that doesn't turn out well, I will literally say out loud, "It's 100 floors of frights—they're not all gonna be winners," or just "Look it's 100 floors of frights."

It just means when you do a thing a whole lot, there's bound to be some instances that are bad. You don't have to be good at the thing 100% of the time. You can't be good 100% of the time. Some of the 100 floors are gonna suck. It doesn't negate your skill at creating the rest of the 100 floors.

You can use this for anything: art you make, performances, school assignments, days at work, outfits, sex sessions, literally anything that you are too hard on yourself about when it doesn't go great. Listen to Kenan Thompson and remember that it's impossible for them all to be winners, and that's okay.

My husband and I use the phrase this way ALL THE TIME. It's helpful!
