In the last few decades, we've seen superhero movies go from clear-cut, black & white celebrations of Good triumphing over Evil to moody, subtle meditations on the gray areas in between and the very idea of what makes a Hero. Luis J Gomez and Dave Smith have waded into this murky territory with their new animated short The Alliance of Really Really Good People. But as you can imagine coming from two thirds of Legion of Skanks, "subtle" it is not. This teaser episode promises to show that some of the worst people in history, from Hilter to Justin Bieber, are merely misunderstood defenders of America.

Throughout my years performing stand up comedy and covering the sport of mixed martial arts I have noticed a few parallels between the two arts. For one, it takes balls. .000001% of the population has the testicular fortitude to step on stage to tell jokes or to get into a cage and stand across from a trained death machine and go to war. Also, for both it's really hard in the beginning. There is no money in either game and you suck at it. You are either bombing in front of shitty crowds or getting the shit beat out of you day in and day out in training. But you keep coming back all of the love of the sport. Comedians are super heroes with their words. Fearless, quick witted, and unrelentless. Mixed martial artists are modern day gladiators. Warriors who put their lives on the line every time they step into the cage. However, there are a few rare specimens that could kick ass on the mic and in the cage.
