The powers of three gods, two demigods, and a Jew, and what does he do? He uses a machine gun on some foreigners.

I love these old serials, even the worst ones. They're such a great slice of attitudes, fashion and ideas from way back then. All done on shoestring budgets and recycled props/costumes.

I recently read about Elvis and his obsession with Captain Marvel Jr. Supposedly he was such a huge fan that he copied the character's hairstyle, and later cape, and incorporated lightning bolts onto a bunch of his personal shit.
