10 Fantasy Sagas That Are Wronger Than Twilight

The real title should be "10 Fantasy Sagas That Make The Evolution Forum Look Tame!" I keep my MG reading a secret from most people--no one IRL knows about my muscle passion--but I hope that some of you writers out there take a lesson from this. Just because you have weird sex and hot muscle scenes does not mean your stories can't get published in the mainstream. If they're done right, they might even get a following, not for the fetish stuff, but for actually being good!

And then there's the stuff about homophobia and blah blah blah... FUCK THAT. Get to writing, people. Don't hold back on your visions.

And if you think that's bad, look what gets past the commerical censors these days (these are all genuine episodes that were broadcast)

He-Man (2002) : Second Skin

Lord Dactys brings King Randor the shed skin of King Hiss that was found in Spelea, proving to the Masters that he is still alive. Prince Adam goes to the Sorceress for help, but she is still weak. She does however manage to give him two fragments of information: the Serpent's Ring and the Sea of Rakash. King Hiss finds out about the Serpent's Ring from the Tablet of the Elders and takes his Snake Men into the Sea of Rakash to find it. The Masters use their new diving gear, spawned from Snake Men skin, to follow the Snake Men.

Batman (1966): Egghead

The founders of Gotham City, the Savage, Tyler and Wayne families, agreed to lease the land from the Mohican Indians for a price of three raccoon pelts from each family, paid every five years. Now Egghead has stolen the City Charter which spells out this agreement, and has discovered that if the descendants of these families miss this payment, the land returns to the last of the Mohican Indians, Chief Screaming Chicken. Egghead plans to delay the millionaires' appearance and then forge his own agreement with the Chief! And while he's got the millionaires, including Bruce Wayne, he's going to test his theory that Bruce Wayne is Batman with a machine that can read Wayne's mind!

(and in case you are wondering why I've included that, this is the reason:

Mind Reading / Brain Transfer Machine (1966)

Holy corny 1960s show, Batman!

Vincent Price is really eggs-sellent as "Egg Head".

He's hammy enough to be his own "Ham and eggs"!

I don't understand what censors might have to do with the mentioned episodes. They seem perfectly ordinary as far as I can tell. Can someone spell it out in detail for me? It's driving me crazy trying to figure out what everyone else is seeing.

Other than the screaming, foaming racism in the Batman episode (which was pretty much the usual thing in the 1960s) which wouldn't get past censors today? The He-Man episode has people using what seems to be the skins of their slain enemies for wetsuits, which is possibly better than lampshades... nah. Not really.
