Not digging the makeup. Joker needs to have “Damaged” tattooed on his forehead to really bring it all together.

Adrock that is given by Batman after he stops him the first time.

Then, Superman gets mad at Batman for branding criminals.  And they fight.  But then it gets better because their moms have the same name.  Also, Wonder woman was there THE WHOLE TIME.  Surprise!

Superman dies after that.

But then he gets better through the power of friendship!

OMG this story sounds magical. I need to know what happens next!!!

Both trailers have looked good to me.  I am cautiously excited for this movie.

Before Broodwars posts a link, Stan Lee's daughter has weighed in on the Spiderman situation, throwing Disney under the bus: https://www.cnet.com/news/stan-lees-daughter-speaks-out-against-marveldisney-in-spidey-spat/

Can't say I care much for her opinion on the subject.  Anyone who's going to literally physically abuse an old man over his money isn't someone we should give spotlight to.

i.e.: "Not Disney".

For all the crying and lamenting over storytelling and expression in media, it really just boils down to "I am edgy because I hate dose mieces to pieces."

I'd love to peer into an alternate universe where Disney bought the Spider-Man rights so many years ago and Marvel remained independent.  Could you imagine all the hate Disney would be getting for "holding Spider-Man hostage"?

Frankly, business or ethics wise, neither company is worth rooting for (story/character wise, Marvel obviously wins), but it's funny to see the anti-Disney crowd latching onto this so vehemently pro-other billion dollar corporation just because they're "not Disney".

Marvel/Disney had 100% of the merch rights well before the current deal, having bought them back from Sony in 2011 when Sony was in dire straights due to their, at the time, failing Electronics division.

To be fair, Marvel (and by Marvel, I mean individuals at Marvel who are no longer there) was a huge part of the reason the market crashed in the 90s.

ITT: Sony should be rewarded for taking advantage of a company when they were down, but screw Disney for giving Marvel what everyone at the time thought was an insane deal.

Weird.

Movies & TV / Re: (NEW Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!

« on: August 19, 2019, 01:53:00 PM »

I guess I can't really say much, as I obviously don't know much about the series, but I just don't understand what's gained by making it a "continuation" of the 80s series.

I mean, I have a huge soft spot for that show... but it's not particularly good.  Honestly, it's pretty bad most the time.  If they wanted to continue the 200x series, I'd be thrilled, but considering how far out we are from that and how few seem to have seen it, I'd question that decision (unless it was announced that Netflix was going to pick that series up as well...)

Make it a new series entirely.  It doesn't even have to tie into or acknowledge the new She-Ra series if Mattel doesn't want (apparently, there's some licensing hoopla between Mattel and Dreamworks, blah, blah, blah...).  I think this is just a questionable decision that will either serve to drive away potential new audiences (because, seriously, could you imagine any kid or adult not familiar with the original series sitting down to "catch up" on 100+ badly animated, cheesy episodic toy ads from the 80s where He-Man doesn't even use his sword as a sword?  I love the series, but I can't do more than a few episodes here and there) or just annoy long term fans who will nit pick continuity errors and cry how they feel betrayed by the direction taken, with it ruining their childhood.  I checked the he-man.org forums and there are already multiple posts about how this is just a "feminist Teela spin-off".

I assume they want to "honor" the 80s legacy while also getting a jumping point without having to retell He-Man's origin (Think: Superman Returns... that went well.  Thankfully, I can't imagine we'll have creepy rapey He-Man from this though)... but if you're going to take the 80s series as your foundation, you can't do that without including She-Ra from the 80s.

Ugh.  Here I am ranting about a series I virtually know nothing about based off of tidbits of what amounts to early marketing.  I need to step back and breathe. 🤣🤣🤣

Makes sense.  If you have a Switch Lite, you have no way to charge the NES Controllers.

I'm inclined to think 80-90% of that never would have made it out the door had FOX remained solvent.

Ohh.. a Play-doh movie.  I imagine some corporate exec seeing how well the LEGO Movie did and being all "Yeah, let's throw money chasing that."

Kinda disappointed that there was no mention of Super 3D Noah's Ark, which was a re-skin of Doom on the SNES where you played as the titular bible character who had to use an ancient "tranquilizer" to "knock out" the animals who were rampaging on the ark.

Haha that was one of the first games my grandparents bought when they got their super nintendo. Played tons of it as a kid

Fun fact, you can buy an SNES cart from Wisdom Tree's website right now!

It's a reprint and doesn't use the passthrough cart though.
