Thunder Round Questions:
- If real life was a cartoon, what cartoon universe would you want to live in?
- There are a lot of movie adaptations of comic books / cartoons these days. Are there any that you think that should stay…or should have stayed in an animated format?
- Iron Fist…have you watched it? What’s your take on it? Our friend, Kenny Rotter had a good good discussion about Iron Fist on his Dumbbells and Dragons podcast. Check it out here.
- There was a huge cosplay presence at WonderCon this year. I don’t think anyone of us has ever cosplayed before…but if we did what would you cosplay as?
- If you were a Transformer, would you want to be Decepticon or Autobot and what would you want to transform into?
