74 - Alpha Flight #30-34 (and beyond)

This is definitely our angriest episode. We finish off Alpha Flight and Bill Mantlo makes many decisions that make us absolutely furious. But also plenty of absurd ones that make us laugh, so there's still plenty of joy in this episode! I promise!We find out who Puck REALLY is (ugh) and the (semi-)ultimate fates of Heather Hudson, Shaman, Snowbird, Sasquatch, Northstar, Aurora, Talisman, Madison Jeffries, Doug Thompson, Marrina, a Baby, and Puck!Topics Discussed:SCRAMBLE, THE MIXED-UP MAN. The '56 Buick line returns. Half a maple leaf is the most sturdy shape. Bill Mantlo hates women. Your brother's brain. Brobdingnagian. "The ain't your grandma's How to Pronounce Brobdingnagian video". Nemesis returns. Her sword "hungers." Bill Mantlo doesn't understand metaphors. "Short Story" A full nude butt. Heather Hudson character assassination. Razer Pronunciation (CORRECTLY!). Tall Puck. A sword that shrinks you 6 inches. I AM THE SHORT KING. Bill Mantlo unwrites characters written goodly. No ride to the Opera. Chris Claremont: Secret Editor. LADY DEATHSTRIKE! Wolverine origins. Bill Mantlo hates people with disabilities. Heather reads a folder in her memory. "Vindicator" is back. Talisman is NOT a mutant. The fate of Alpha Flight.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Background11:40 - Pat's Email Corner29:15 - Did We Do Anything X-Men Related?36:40 - Alpha Flight #301:04:04 - Alpha Flight #311:17:05 - Alpha Flight #321:38:15 - Alpha Flight #331:54:55 - Alpha Flight #342:12:35 - Alpha Flight #35-502:28:09 - Final Thoughts2:31:45 - Pat's Deals and Steals2:37:12 - Goodbye!Join our Patreon!
