The Herculoids story ended just how I thought it would, Animan was a child and with the help of his parents Amazot was put back together. Not very inspired but it was fun. Yep. It was clear exactly where it was going about half way through the first issue. I’m honestly a bit surprised someone got paid for that story. I mean after the first two or three times we’d seen it. It's definitely a well known trope, I know it well...but for the life of me I can't remember an exact episode of short story that used it. I wanna say there was an episode of the Outer Limits or Twilight Zone but browsing synopsis I didn't find anything likely. |

I really want to say there was an episode of Star Trek that was super similar. I'll have to poke around but I know I've seen it a few times. |

Well there's Squire of Gothos that uses that trope from Star Trek. There may have been others. -M |

Terry Pratchett played with the trope in Carpe Jugulum with the elves. I'm sure there are more too. |

It just kills me that the trope is so familiar but I can't place it specifically. |
