I Don’t Owe Them a Chance

What little patience I ever had with Ya Boi Zack is exhausted. He used to be a reasonably good source for keeping up with everything wrong with the comic book world. He was always a Gamma but lately, he’s been cucking out completely. He only attacks people on the Right for pursuing the culture war. Never the Left. He’s pretending that executives at Woke corporations like Disney, don’t care about fans criticizing their propagantastic entertainment products. That it is the Right that is just too political.Uh-huh,...

Antman 3 or Cocaine Bear, Which Blows More?*

I originated the role! How was I not cast?!While Cocaine Bear did just barely beat out Antman 3 in the domestic box office take on Friday, Antman 3 pulled ahead on Saturday and Sunday but Cocaine Bear was nipping at his heels the whole way. Weekend take for the third and now final Antman movie was a cadaverous $32.4 million on its second freaking weekend! The first movie in Marvel’s Phase V was down 70% from last weekend. That is not...

Warner Brothers Discovery Earnings Call

CEO David Zaslav just held Warner Brothers Discovery’s first quarter earnings call for 2023. This was the first earnings call that was mostly the fruits of his labors. There is still about a year’s worth of inertia from the pipeline setup by the previous regime. However, this is the first time that Zaslav was expected to show positive results of his regime.Keep in mind this is an investor call, not a media event. There are some facts that it is illegal for Zaslav to misrepresent. There...

Is There a Spiderman Deal?

This week there was a flurry of reports about a new Sony/Marvel Spiderman something starring Tom Holland being in the works. It’s been all over the fan sites and Polygon (which is more of an anti-fan site).Except there hasn’t been an announcement.It has been better than a year since Spiderman: No Way Home was released. The third of Holland’s Spiderman outings raked in nearly two billion in box office receipts worldwide, and easily shot past that line when you factor in the...

The Dark Herald Recommends: Lockwood & Co

This one was nowhere on my radar.I just saw an interesting thumbnail on Netflix Trending and decided to give it twenty seconds before surfing on.The opening scene started with tense music setting the tone as a London taxi stopped in front of a private residence. Two teenagers, a boy and a girl get out and are clearly repeating battleplans they have memorized but are going over one last time. They are walking quickly, the camera cuts to a waist-high shot and both...

Paramount’s Body Positive Superheroine

No, I'm not making this up at all.The heifer heroine is called Zephyr. I thought Zepplin might have been more appropriate. This comic book that you have never heard of is called Faith. It's published by Valient and I had go check to make sure they were still in business. Yeah, they are again, at the moment, but it's the usual thing these days of using comic books as a pitch for movie and TV projects.I'm a...

Was All of The Rings of Power AI Generated?

"The orcs’ response was a deafening onslaught of claws, claws, and claws; even Elrond was forced to retreat. “You are in good hands, dwarf,” said Gimli, who had been among the first to charge at the orcs; it took only two words before their opponents were reduced to a blood-soaked quagmire, and the dwarf took his first kill of the night. The battle lasted for hours until two of the largest Orcs attempted to overwhelm Aragorn. When they finally stopped,...

That’s a Dude

You are forbidden to find women atractive. Okay, I admit Nebula really isn't there to be easy on the eyes for guys but Karen Gillan can still manage it even through the makeup.That is NOT Karen Gillan's body. That is a dude's body that her head has been photoshopped on to it.There is a straight line going from the armpit to the knee. For reference here is Karen in Jumanji. Discuss on Social GalacticYou will note that...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend: Antman and the Wasp Quantomania

I have rarely seen a genre movie so dripping with contempt for its core audience. Nineteen eighties Mexican sword and sandals videos had more respect for the people that would be seeing it than this flick did. There are no characters, only cut-and-paste caricatures. This is no plot, only a series of ridiculous contrivances. This entire motion picture has been built around appearance for the sake of appearance. It is a Disney Frankenstein. This film is broken. Like its namesake, there is no substance...
