Disney World To Host the Planet’s Largest LGBTQ Political Action Conference

Anyone who thought for a second that Disney was seriously going to be getting the Woke out can stop taking their retard pills now. Disney absolutely remains committed to THE MESSAGE. Don't be fooled for a second by some of the downsizings that are going on right now. Yeah, Victoria Alonso is gone but she was a sacrificial lamb who, (while an idiotic loudmouth), was never in charge of story development. That wasn't her division, her job was...

All of them have something in common, they are throwbacks to the glory days of 1990s FPS games. They are also all by New Blood,...

The Dark Herald Recommends: Shazam Fury of the Gods

So bad you’ll be begging for James Gunn reboot… - The Daily BeastIn a drama this dumb and unaware, the buffed-up makeover seems like an insult to the same “inadequate” outsiders and weedy minorities the film pretends to champion… - DeadlineToo derivative from previous superhero films and too goofy to present believable characters… - Don’t CareA sequel whose goofiness extends not only to its lame humor but its convoluted and senseless plot… -NY TimesBombastic and cacophonous, a relentlessly overstimulating carnival that...

FLASH: VICTORIA ALONSO IS OUT AT MARVEL

I'm trying to find my jaw. It was on the floor here somewhere.Apparently, Iger is still capable of making a good business decision... In times of great crisis anyway.He needed to blame someone for the disaster they are in at Marvel and for once he chose the right culprit.From That Park Place:"Victoria Alonso, the longtime and high-profile Marvel Studios executive whose time with the company dates back to the first Iron Man, has left the studio, multiple sources tell The...

Marvel Doubles Down on Rick and Morty Writers

This artwork is so bad.Rick and Morty is a cartoon for grownups.It’s okay I guess, but it’s a cartoon for grownups and frankly a pretty overrated one.  It’s not going to be remembered alongside the Simpsons, South Park or even Venture Brothers.  And you can just forget about it being held up to any halfway-decent anime title. For those of you who have never seen it, don’t bother it’s gone way downhill in recent years but at its height, it was basically a...

The Antman 3 Leak

There is enough buzz about this that I felt I should say something about it.Here are the facts. About a month before Antman and the Wasp: Quantomania was released there was a script leak for it on Reddit. The script in question was a subtitle script.

The language in question was Portuguese, which all but guarantees that the leaker is...

Disney In Freefall (Part 2: Marvel)

So much wasted franchise in one pictureAntman and the Wasp Quantomania is officially a disaster.Its third-weekend box office take is so anemic you’d think it was attacked by a vampire and after a manner of speaking, it was.  Antman 3 will not break the $500 million mark in theaters.  Every Disney Marvel movie after Black Widow crashed on takeoff, has lost money.  Shang Chi, The Eternals, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Wakanda Forever and now Antman and Wasp Quantomania. The trajectory of...

Disney in Free Fall (Part One: Star Wars)

The second episode of The Mandalorian aired last Wednesday and I have yet to hear a peep out of Fort Mickey.  Whenever the streamer studios have one of their exceedingly rare wins they screech it from the rooftops.  HBOmax pounded its chest about House of the Dragon and The Last of Us.  Paramount struts around bragging about Yellowstone’s numbers.  Even Amazon felt the need to brag when The Rings of Power debuted (the numbers were a fantasy, but they felt the need to brag...
