Comix Zone oozes with the spirit of the 1990s. Typically, media and art made at the midpoint of a decade (example 1995-1996) sets the gold standard for the spirit of the decade. 1990 is too much like the 80s and 1999 is too much like the mighty Ohs. Comix Zone is a key note from the SEGA™ Genesis lineup. The music, the outfit of our hero, and style sings of the 1990s grunge movement.
1995 was when video games were offline, not-monitored, and gamers could trade, sell, or lend their truely private property of a game to their friends without interference or observation from Big Sister™. Power ups were simple and achievements were personal, instead of being a public document for the various Videogamer-Corps™.
Of vexillological note, when the protagonist of the story, Sketch Turner, gets his superhero power up, a unique logo appears on his chest: it is a red semi-circle with an ×, that appears on a white shirt. The livery of our superhero is white,
black, and red. He has black tights with boots, a white shirt, and a red cape. Turner also dons sunglasses and is able to blast all baddies on the screen, with a comic zap.
When Turner is in normal mode, he is a Kung Fu master of the 1990s sort. The pants and haircut are of the Niffertastic Nineties™.
The bad guy logo also appears on the bombs in some of the abandoned ships. It is red painted face outline of a man with hat, sunglasses, and long mustache.
Comix Zone is one of the few original masterpieces with original content, rather than being an established pop-icon or a spinoff of some other established property, like the Amazing Man Spider, Mr. Bat Ma'am, or the X-Them.
Sonic the Hedgehog was family friendly, nostalgic wonder spark. Most movies based on video games flop. Typically the fans and Hollywood directors are out of sync. But finally in 2020, the directors got it right.
Finally 1990s get some respect, as a separate decade from the semi-tacky 1980s. Reason being, the first Sonic video game was released in 1991. Likewise, the star of this movie Jim Carey was able to soar to top shelf of comic spirits. Although the movie was set in modern times, 2020, Sonic and Carey are class clowns from the 1990s that took up a big chunk of people free time, and made a momentous comeback in 2020.
Of vexillological note is the headband that Sonic wears in the movie. The logo design is modified black and white pattern based upon the intro screen from his first game, back in 1991.
Sonic the Hedgehog is of the original Platformer—basically a jump and run to side action game. These type of games are continually remade each generation. The basic plan of the game is to run to a goal, via an obstacle course, using the simple rules of gravity, power ups, and of course timing the right time jump at the right moment.
Green Hills was originally the round of levels, where we Sonic came into existence back in 1991. Thirty years since conception, this flagship character from SEGA was live on with a hit movie: Sonic the Hedgehog 2020.
During a credit scene, a welcome sign to Green Hills can be seen, in glorious 16-bit 1990s video glory.
The checker pattern is associated with Sonic the Hedgehog, as this pattern can be found all throughout the game. In the 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog film, several real life checker flags could bee seen is several scenes. In his burrow underground, Sonic has an kind of altar of checker flags, that can be seen in a montage, when we see what his daily life is like.
To the left, notice the crossed checker flag lamp that Sonic gets in his new bedroom above his new besties. Sonic has a big smile, as he gets comfy in his new bedroom, that is above ground.
When Sonic is in the bar, he grabs a pennant streamer that just happens to have checker designs. The image has been flipped to 'right side up.' Thus the people in the bar look normal and Sonic zooming around the bar is running on the ceiling.
In 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog movie, an original and imaginative flag for the US Pentagon appears during the meeting of generals. The design of the flag does not match to the official seal in our universe, but in this alternate sector of the Multiverse it is the official flag.
The Sonic Pentagon flag is on a field of navy blue with the colours of yellow and neon blue. Neon blue makes up the rings and outer dimensions of the Pentagon shape, while the yellow hash marks fill in the Pentagon in four levels with broken spaces at the mid-points of the flag. In the outer ring it is written THE PENTAGON *** THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ***—the US flag is also visible on the left side of the seal on the wall.
Besides Liberty Island, there is another island in NYC that has its own monument, Rat Island. It was recently purchased by Alex Schibli in 2011 at an auction for $176,000. Now the Goddess of Liberty has some stiff competition, Rat Island has a statue of William Tell—a folk hero of Switzerland.
In American consciousness Tell is portrayed only as playful archer to shoots an arrow at an apple seated on a person's head. However, for Switzerland, Mr. Tell is a folk hero a kin to King Arthur and Robin Hood all wrapped into one.
When the New York Post interviewed the owner of Rat Island, Alex Schibli, he was wearing a unique Swiss-American fusion flag: see video below. Schibli's flag has a lower-fly canton with 26 Swiss crosses on the field, arranged the four rows of: 6-7-6-7. The 26 Crosses represent the 26 Cantons of Switzerland.
Rat Island is also home to three flags: New York State, the US flag, and the flag of Switzerland. However, Rat Island is missing a flag for the island itself.
During the interview with the New York Post in 2018, Schilbli was wearing a shirt that contained a unique US-Swiss fusion flag.
He was also making a statement that the monument on Rat Island is a 'sister statue' sight to Liberty Island. Like Yin and Yang, the Statue of Liberty represents the freedom all Americans, while the statue of William Tell represents one American's point of pride. However, NYC's Statue of William Tell is completely within NYC's official waters, unlike Liberty Island which is actually in NJ's waters.
Walmart issued a flag for itself sometime before July 31, 2018. It is most likely that this flag was created in 2017. It is a vertical tribar flag of grey-blue, navy-blue, grey-blue. In the center is the Walmart * in yellow.
The original leaflet advertises the Walmart's capacity to send money across the world. Walmart is only a business, yet its economic lifeblood pulsates all across America and the planet. No doubt Walmart has a larger economy than some third world nations.
Walmart rose the global dominance as did once the too Hudson Bay Company. However, Walmart started in Arkansas. Perhaps a nick for this coorporation could the Dixie Bay Company.
The background colours for the Alt Left flag are violet and orange. Orange is coded to 2 and violet is coded to 7. Together they make the number 27. One is supposed to read this flag from left to right like the alt key arrow:←.
This ALT right flag has a field of orange and blue. Orange is coded to 2 and blue is coded to 6. Together they make 26. When you hit the Alt Key and 26 you get a rightward arrow →.
In that semi-official way of things, boat-ed® has created the mark for a choice being for Fun or for being a Jerk. Both stamps have the overall basic design of circular seal with rings that have five, five pointed stars in the out ring and six stars on the inner disc, with three above and three below the work Fun or Jerk. The Jerk Stamp is coloured red and the Fun Stamp is Coloured Green.

Comedy is like this as well, jokes can be fun or they can be jerky. But humor is on a spectrum, different segments of society have set the jerk mark at different places. This has led to the outrage mob in recent times. Best to listen to you heart before you post, and only go positive.
Perhaps someday there will be rating system for the Internet on user apps where by you can set your jerk standards to your personal preference. Banning the consumption of steak because to feeding it to a baby could be deadly, is, the worst form of censorship.
They always talk about the great ones from the 1980s. However they were a lot of little charmers that were, keenly cooked slices of Cheese Cake. Battle Beyond the Stars is a 1980s film that oozes with 80s Sci-Fi cheese.
It's too bad it didn't get the sub-listed treatment on HBO or syndication, otherwise this movie would have been A-List Cult film of the B-film multiverse. This film rode the Entertainment Space Wake created by Star Wars 1977. It stands apart as a secret cinematic love child of Star Wars and Star Trek. Parts of the movie feel like Star Trek, while others feel like Star Wars. But there is an overall campy element that echos back to the original Battle Star Galactica.
The hero's ship is famous for having 'boobs' but the Earth Cowboy's ship, just happens to have a Confederate Naval Jack. Note, a jack is a flag flown at the front of the ship while the ensign is the flag flown at the back/stern. The 'Cowboy' is flying the Cultural Confederate flag of the South just above his cockpit-bridge. The flag has worn battle scars on the upper fly quadrant.
Upon watching this B-movie there is a residual sparkle that shines in between the amateur acting and corny dialog. That sparkle is the imprint of James Cameroon, who was the special effects designer. Really, you can consider Battle Beyond the Stars Cameroon's 'high school film' project before made his master piece in 1984—Terminator.
Also, the musical score out classes the creamy fondu-B nature of this movie. James Horner's score gives this movie a clean uplifting feel, that out shines the director's efforts.
Battle Beyond the Stars is a cheesy treasure and guilty pleasure for space fans, that could definitely get a reboot. The basic plot, themes and structure are there. Movies are like roller coasters, and this film has all the right turns and hills. However they are executed on mini Budget.
Notice Insignia on Sash
Unfortunately Hollywood is trapped in the pattern of rebooting classic masterpieces that can not hold a candle to the original masterpiece. Instead, Hollywood should be looking for movies like Battle Beyond the Stars and give it the royal treatment.
But no, executives only green light on things they know. No...You can not reboot the Mona Lisa. The second iteration may be better in 10,000 ways, but it will always be a cheap imitation, no matter how much you invest into the latter day saint cloning of movie masterpieces. Battle Beyond the Stars is far from a masterpiece, yet if given the right kind of love, its second form would be an awesome re-classic. This happened with the Wizard of Oz. The Wizard of Oz 1939 that we know is not the original, it is a reboot (called a remake back then) that got it right. Maybe Battle Beyond the Stars fits into this category.
Maybe James Cameroon could be pushed to properly re-polish this charmful little gem for modern audiences? Maybe even have it done is properly with 1980s schtick in the hand of an elegant artist?
The original blue bedroom monster before incorporation was Maurice, played by Howie Mandel. Maurice is a monster of the genus that are rife of trickster spirit. These types of monsters are able to enter from under children's beds and create mischief, getting the child into trouble and hot water.
The wonder star of America's childhood from the 1980s, Fred Savage, plays as a wonder struck youth who must wander and mature, in order to not becoming a monster himself. Savage gives a totally wonderful performance, that makes ones imagination wonder about the years gone by.
This film is a little influential gem that ends on a bittersweet note, and nodoubt due for a reboot with a grown up Brian Stevenson (Fred Savage) who must return with his kids to Monsterverse® under their beds.
In one scene the American flag flies with magic of monster wind.
This flag represents Christian churches lead by persons from Down Under in Australia, New Zealand, and the rest of the South Pacific. It has black field with a white canton with red cross. It important to listen to preacher who had walked in your ethnic shoes. Preachers who preach to you outside of your race, will always have short sighted view your path and will never understand the blessings and burdens of your heritage.
The flag represents Christian Churches with a dominantly Native American church body. Although spirit is usually independent of race and nationality, the honest truth is that most churches are segregated by ethnic identities. Likewise, this flag indicates that a congregation from Alaska to Argentina is led by the Elder Inhabitants of the Americas that are not white, black or Asian.
The Asian-Christian Church flag has blue field with a white canton and red cross. Note that Asia is more than just China, Korea, and Japan. Christian churches can be found all over Asia such as India, Eastern Russia, Arabia, and of course Israel.
The majority of people overlook that Israel is in Asia, thus most of the people of the Bible were Asian, ergo Jesus is Asian: not African nor European.
