“Not So Serious Hobbits…Green Monster In An Oil Barrel …Evil Man Of Steel!!!”

J.R.R. Tolkien once tried to change the entire tone of “The Hobbit” to fit the more serious “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.  But he gave up after the third chapter because it “just wasn’t ‘The Hobbit’” without its playful tone and quick pace.

In Pakistan’s version of “Sesame Street”, Oscar the Grouch is named Akhtar and he lives in a rusty oil barrel.

Superman was originally supposed to be a BAD GUY.  Jerry Siegel created Superman in 1933 for a short story called “The Reign of the Superman”.  A year later, he decided it made more sense for him to be a hero.
