    I grew up in the eighties and I've seen a lot of these, I've watched a few of your videos and probably haven't commented enough on how nostalgic and heart-warming they are. Although there are several better movies in your list, Condorman is one that I have a soft spot for.

      Sheena was the very first time I saw frontal nudity in a film, so it will remain a CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE for me.

    Flash Gordon is a superhero? I guess the rationale must be that he was in a comic book, but does that make someone a superhero?
    I hadn't thought of Robocop as a superhero, but I'll buy that one.

    Good video but if you're going to mention TV shows, you forgot Misfits of Science!
    And a few opinions of mine (just opinions):
    1) Supergirl was at least as good as Superman IV and should be as well known.
    2) Dolph Lundgren's Punisher was actually pretty decent from what I remember. I remember it being on cable in the late '80's or real early '90's.
    3) I LOVE Flash Gordon! That being said, I consider it more Sci-Fi like Buck Rogers than a Superhero movie.
    4) I don't whine or criticize MOST Marvel or DC movies today because all I really had in the late '80's were the excellent Batman (over and over and over again) or the made-for-TV Incredible Hulk movies. The exception is X-Men: Dark Phoenix. That story didn't work as a subplot in X-Men: The Last Stand and making it into an entire movie is an insult to the CLASSIC Claremont/Byrne story arc. I know that changes need to be made to stories for films but that movie was just a huge mess. I did like most of the acting, though, but I'm usually easy to please.

    Iconic? What is the standard for that label? Pal, you need to take an English class. This is a fun video but you got to try a dictionary. 🙄 Plus, Tim Burton’s Batman movie did not send Batman on its way to being one of the most “iconic” superheroes…it was well established decades earlier in comics, toys and tv. 🙄🙄 # bornyesterday
