Let's Talk Ultramantis

From Mantis's commentary with Louden/Gavin at Aniversario!
(2007) during the Kaiju match:
"One day my friend, one day, Dr. Cube and myself will create one
conglomerate so evil, so vicious, so devious, that no one will
be safe."
We need solid evidence. I have this and circumstantial stuff,
but I want something concrete.

For example, during the main event of Caught in a Spider's Den,
Mantis randomly mentions liking apples and orchards. I can't
recall it being something that he mentioned frequently. It
wasn't something that came up naturally in the conversation
either. I noted it because the recent talk by Wink about the
same thing. Caught in a Spider's Den was the first and last Long
Island show. Wink told me that his mother is from LI. So, Titor
has connections there.

Vince Gilligan said of Breaking Bad that a lot the
self-referencing within the show ended-up being coincidental.
It's uncertain that Everything Is Connected so much as Quack is
just a really good writer and things fell into place just so.
One overlooked teaching of Watchmen (and of Alan Moore's
especially after he was hired to write a comic about conspiracy
theories and found them all to be bunk) is that rarely do things
go exactly according to plan. Ozymandias would've preferred a
world where Rorschach lived and Ostermn stuck round as his
adviser. The real ending of Watchmen is Rorschach's journal
being published in the New Republic and the world becomes just
as fucked as it has always been, only this time we don't have
the deterrent of a Super-Man on our side.
This is, it should be said, symptomatic of the political climate
Moore entered his young-adulthood into in Cruel Britannia. It is
elucidated in a Warren Ellis graphic novel I can't remember the
name of right now, but a character in it explains that British
comics and British-born comic writers were darker than their
American counterparts because, while we suffered through the 80s
with President who was a bit doddery and completely
out-of-touch with popular culture., Britons actually suffered
through the Thatcher Era where there were open calls for
concentration camps for homosexuals and banning foreigners from
entering the country. I don't know if that's exactly true but it
illustrates that point rather well.
Either way, Babs, I have carelessly forgotten my original point,
but I remember I wanted to say that that was a really good find
for which you should be commended, and at the very least, parted
me from 10 dollarinos to Smart Mark.

You're right; it could just be a coincidence. I do have tendency
to be extremely detail oriented, especially when I'm looking for
answers.

Oh I could not find something that's too long for it.
