Reply to comment by amadeus2490 in TIL Stan Lee made the X-Men mutants because he didn't want to come up with a reason for their super powers, instead they were just born with them. Additionally the 1963 comic was initially a flop until the 1975 reboot by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. by jamescookenotthatone
It really wasn't. The early issues were very generic. Not to say they were bad, but they were pretty straightforward. It wasn't until the relaunch that it gained depth.

Reply to comment by GeraldoFubar in TIL the BBC released a 'Green Book' in 1949 to define comedy guidelines. Among some of the banned topics were jokes about fig leaves and vulgar use of the word 'basket'. by morecharts
It really is interesting to think how British co edy changed over the 15 year span from late 60s to early 80s. I can totally get why people were stunned by it. But I love the changes.

Reply to comment by wildskipper in Australia to Impose Local Content Quotas on Streaming Platforms by Sisiwakanamaru
Canada has similar quotes and agreements with services. But this likely does explain why Canadian shows are more likely scripted content rather than reality. The infrastructure is there, American shows film there anyway etc... (and, I could be wrong, but I think for streaming at least, filmed in Canada but produced and owned elsewhere counts to quotas)
