They don't tell who Mysterion is. LAME!

It was Bebe duuuuuh! She even dropped the hint when she told Cartman "how do you know Mysteron is a man?" They threw the viewers off by making it sound like it was Clyde so they'd think it was him.

Any episode with Professor Chaos and General Disarray is a classic

they needed more showtime 😀

Pretty funny when the cop was going to shoot choas and he's like "that won't effect him!"

I am pretty sure it was clyde or stan...probably clyde.

Episode was pretty good. Liked the Christian Bale Batman scratchy voice.

If you thought the episode was lame or worst ever then:

A) you never saw the Britney episode

and

B) don't realize that their best comedy comes from Cartman and Randy storylines, since they're so far detached from reality, and need to stop watching the show since you obviously don't get it.

Easy one of the better episodes of the past several seasons, which have been pretty lackluster as a whole.

I got all the jokes. I loved the appearance of Professor Chaos and General Disarray. Liked the opening and the scratchy voices. It just wasn't that great overall though. It was meh to alright. Definitely not one of the better episodes.

Horrible episode. I don't know why they parodied TDK and not Watchmen.

Probably because not many people have seen Watchmen, so it would make little to no sense.
It might have been better as a season 12 episode though.

At least they aren't doing a Simpsons and trying to parody the Da Vinci Code this late on.

That was without a doubt the worst episode ever. And that's not in an ironic, comic book guy-sense, it was just not funny or interesting in the slightest.

Someone missed all of last season I see ....

I have to admit that they are funny.

Best parts was the wall where Professor Chaos and General Disarray had their guess as to whom "The my excellent compatriot" was.

Heh. And Mysterion as well....they only had Token, Jimmy, and Timmy crossed out. :laugh:

Damn...I LOVE that episode. Too bad I missed it.

Look Glen! We're going to be saved! They're coming to save us!

I thought it was amusing and it seem to kind of mimic Watchmen with the Cartman narration (like how quite a bit of Watchmen is narrated by Rorschach).

I thought the ending was an amusing jab at the idea of costumes and how they usually don't seem like they would protect someone's identity too well, but supposedly they could understand who it was just by seeing the upper part of his face.

Well Clyde fell asleep during Cartman's class speech, thought that was the giveaway that he was up late night before. But M&T left it open on purpose. Not showing the hair, the only real identifying characteristic of the non-fat characters. Cartman says "I knew it was you" which is no help since he named everyone in class at some point. Plus no one says the kids name after the reveal, which couldn't be anything other than intentional omission. Wiki agrees its ambiguous fwtw.

 

[funkymatt]

it's totally Craig. my wife thought it was Kenny though.

from wiki

Mysterion unmasks, revealing a bare face similar to nearly all the students at South Park Elementary, making the identity impossible to determine. The crowd of people remark how they were shocked at the identity, while Cartman mentions that he correctly guessed it earlier (though he mentioned nearly everyone in his class, so it is still difficult to determine who). Mysterion is hauled to prison and Cartman remains the only "super hero" in South Park.

also i was going to mention this

Although Eric Cartman's superhero identity literally comes from the North American mammal, the raccoon, the term "my excellent compatriot" is a well-known ethnic slur against black people. The episode makes reference to the election of President Barack Obama, the nation's first African American president, while describing the crime running rampant in South Park: "Then a black man was elected president. He was supposed to change things. He didn't." The Barack Obama "Hope" poster is shown with the word "Change", and graffiti underneath it saying, "When?"Carlos Delgado of If Magazine said he believed the episode title, "The my excellent compatriot" was a jab intended for Obama.

I guess only older people know the reference.
