## Episode Description On this episode of The Snide Show, Cory is joined by AC and writer Shaun Corley ( for a wide-ranging conversation about internet censorship, online child safety, comic-book history, and Marvel’s multiverse machinery. The show opens with Shaun discussing his work at Screen Rant, including his list on Steve Ditko’s DC creations, the legacy of Ditko beyond Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, the Charlton Comics characters that later influenced Watchmen, and the strange afterlife of comic-book history. Then the crew dives into the Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA, breaking down the stated goal of protecting minors online against the practical problems of age verification, data privacy, platform liability, censorship creep, parental controls, online adult-content restrictions, LGBTQ content concerns, government overreach, and the creation of a whole new market for verification tech. AC brings the parent-side perspective, discussing screen time, YouTube Kids, the Momo panic, smart TV limits, and why no law can replace actually talking to kids about what they see. The conversation also connects KOSA to older moral-panics and censorship systems, from the Comics Code Authority and V-chips to movie ratings, “protect the children” rhetoric, prohibition logic, and the recurring cycle of trying to solve cultural anxiety with blunt regulatory machinery. Finally, the episode shifts into Deadpool & Wolverine, MCU fatigue, Secret Invasion, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, Echo, Miss Marvel, multiverse storytelling, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Thanos, Death, Secret Wars, and whether Deadpool might be the chaos agent Marvel needs to make the post-Endgame era feel alive again. Topics include: KOSA, Kids Online Safety Act, online censorship, age verification, data privacy, parental controls, LGBTQ content, Comics Code Authority, Steve Ditko, Charlton Comics, Watchmen, Screen Rant, Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel multiverse, MCU fatigue, Secret Invasion, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, and the continuing war between protecting kids and accidentally building Big Brother with a tablet case.
