@amass79 Your take on this Robert Lippert Production?
Fun question: where does Joel factor into the mirror universe?
This one is very, very… Robert Lippert. I actually need to watch this one again. Fun riffing (Dr. F and Frank being in the theater is a lot of fun). But it’s such a dull, gray, nothing movie. It’s not even that bad, per se; it just sits on the ground like a little dog turd at the park.
Mike’s Boss possibly? The EVIL head of Gizmonic Institute?
And will the mirror universe be revisited in the Gizmoplex era, much like how it was done on Deep Space 9?
I hope not. Those were some of the worst DS9 episodes.
But Mike was never a part of Gizmonic. And assuming Mike replaced Joel, the way he did in the mainline, …what happened?
This is a Mirror Universe. I was speculating given what we know about the proper universe and what might be inverted here. Our Mike began as a temp and is exceptionally laid back. The Mirror Mike could be a technocrat and obviously is committed to his experiment and cutthroat operation. Whatever group Mirror Mike belongs to my thought was in Mirror World Joel is possibly his higher-up. If we’re following opposite day to its logical conclusion…
Ah yes … The Last of the Wild …
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzznnnxxxxxxx…!
…Oh, it’s over?
"Johnny Pooper! Number two bad man in the West!"
This is just like Gamera vs Zigra…only with cowboys.
These promo stills proclaim “Glowing Sepiatone!”
…glowing? not usually a word I associate with sepiatone.
If everyone in the Mirror-verse is evil, then it’s Joel who shot the Mads into space after they gently criticized his lackadaisical cleaning-up skills. Then Mike came aboard as temp and/or henchman, but got the evil robots on his side and had Joel… removed from the picture. As Mirrorverse residents are oft wont to do.
Right? Mirror-Joel was displaced similar to Dr. Erhardt in the regular universe. “He’s missing!”
I am fond of The Gunslinger and Western Adjacent experiment The Painted Hills. But other than a few riffs I completely forget everything about Wild Horses as the skits rather overpower the film in this one.
I mean, say what you will about this movie. At least there’s no rock-climbing in it.
