* When ''[[Green Lantern]]'' tried to give a sympathetic [[Backstory]] to Dex-Starr, by all rights it should have fallen flat on its face. Dex-Starr's inherent comedy (he's a homicidal ''kitty-cat'') should not mesh well with a tragic origin. It's not even a terribly good origin, it's standard "came from abusive family" stuff. But is something just terribly heart-wrenching about it that manages to make it work. [[Tear Jerker|"I good kitty."]] |

* Many "relevant" and "edgy" [[Bronze Age]] stories like the ''[[Green Lantern]] / [[Green Arrow]]'' team-ups featuring the evils of drugs, poverty, racism, etc, are hilariously over-the-top, [[Anvilicious]], and two-dimensional, but the fact that the stuff was [[Fair for Its Day|ground-breaking at the time]], plus the writers' complete sincerity about the sentiments expressed in the stories, save them from most of the contempt usually afforded to such preachy PSAs. |

* [[Roger Ebert]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20130328205412/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20021213%2FREVIEWS%2F212130305%2F1023 in his review] of ''[[Star Trek: Nemesis]]'', gave a half-hearted insult to the material through a compliment to Patrick Stewart (or vice-versa): he noted that Stewart has a talent for making completely ridiculous dialogue riveting. |
