Superfriends on DVD! WOO!

Send all the money to the International World Airport! Then I’ll be free to buy ALL the toy stores in the world! Haha! Which will be especially convenient because that’s exactly where I’ll be; South-Central World, 5057.
Hooray for the Superfriends. If not for them, where else would we find such terrible, idiotic dialogue? Just where exactly IS this International World Airport? And does it have a Domestic terminal?
I managed to sit through the entire 2 hours of Superfriends episodes, but what I didn’t manage to do was to understand anything that the so called ‘super’ villains attempted. I mean, explain to me why these supposed ‘masterminds’ decided that the best plan of attack when using a time traveling device was to a) lure the Superfriends back in time, b) steal the treasures of particular times past, and c) leave the Superfriends there when they return.
Why not just travel back in time to before the Superfriends existed, and take over the world then? Just what exactly is it these villains WANT from their conquests? If we are to assume they seek money, don’t we all have something that we desire to purchase, as our reason for wanting money? Or do we really just feel so drawn to dirty, coloured paper that we find we can’t resist stealing it, just to have it near?
Alright, so I hear you saying ‘The Superfriends always existed, so they couldn’t just travel back in time to take over the world.’ If that is the case, why didn’t the ‘trapped’ Superfriends just simply contact the Superfriends of THAT ERA, and work out a plan of attack then?? And, that being the case, surely the Superfriends of today (being 1978, apparently) should surely have known about this attack coming for about 70 million years and hence been ready for it!!!
And don’t even get me started on the “Superfriend or foe’ game. What was the point of randomly guessing which supervillian was secretly a superfriend? There was no clue, no distinguishable difference between the characters, and in the end, no reason to care! Shouldn’t a game be FUN? Or at least INTERESTING? To be completely fair and objective towards this game, it is quite simply the lamest, stupidest and in every way worst game I’ve ever seen.
On the bright side, a third time through the game caused the DVD to freeze, forcing me to return to the opening menu screen, which by the way also sucks, except for the exclamation select arrow.

Overall DVD rating: 11/11 Superfriends gave this DVD 2 thumbs up.
