Shang Chi is Being Setup to Fail

Bob Chapek has changed his mind.  Despite the strong indications that Shang Chi would be pulled from theatrical distribution last week, Disney CEO Chapek went on the record at the 3RD quarter meeting, stating that Shang Chi will indeed be released “in theaters only.” Regardless of the fact that it is tracking to pull in an anemic box office haul of $35 to $55 million (and it’s not going to be $55 million). Chapek has described this launch as a “data point” but...

PEG-GEE S-M-A-S-H!!!

I managed, just barely to make it to the end of the first Marvel What if...? Episodes.It starred every feminist-fan's favorite, Agent Carter. Quick reminder, the Agent Carter TV show was about Captain America's Sad Girlfriend Peggy.I admit I got briefly chumped about the hype myself, but only because Woke hadn't invaded every single aspect of American entertainment in 2015. It was headed there but it hadn't arrived yet and I was silly enough to assume Marvel cared...

Let’s Play – Who Is Gay Now?

Of course, it's Robin. But which one? There are so many to choose from these days.A boy crime-fighter, at first glance appears to be a terrible idea but if you go deep and really examine it then I think you will find that it is so much worse. Stan Lee was long on the record as absolutely hating the concept on general principle. Unless the kid has superpowers, he's going to be nothing but a hindrance...

Shang Chi Headed to Straight to Disney Plus?

It’s beginning to look like a possibility.  Delta Variant panic porn may work to Disney’s advantage in this case.  It might spare them the embarrassment of another flop.Shang Chi was supposed to be released “Only in theaters” in three weeks.  Except that in the latest ads the “Only in theaters” has been dropped and so, for that matter, has the Sept 2nd release date.The tracking has to be terrible on this movie.  It was created from scratch to pander to China and the Chinese were...

Razorfist: The Comic Film Crash Has Begun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlk3-NtOFkk I agree with Razorfist in practice if not in principle.I'll explain.Certainly, Marvel's time at the top of the heap is likely over and done with. Robert Downey and Chris Evans were the primary stars of Phase III. Without them and their characters, all continuity with the Thanos years ends. For ten years everyone has been told that Kevin Fiege is the indispensable man at Marvel. But given how weak this year's slate has been and the fact...

Well, Gencon Is Shot

You wouldn't see that this year.CORRECTEDThe collection of virtue signaling SJW twat waffles that run Gencon have announced that masks will now be required at the biggest tabletop gaming convention in the world.Gencon was owned by TSR for years, so it got snapped up by WotC with everything else when Lorraine Williams finally augered that company into the ground.When GamerGate blew up big Gencon greedily grasped at the opportunity for progressive pants wetting by making Anita (I can't tell Fallout...

The Dark Herald Recommends The Suicide Squad

I hate to break this to you but it’s a good movie.Yeah, I know James Gunn is a vomitable little twat.  And no one will ever look at John Cena the same way again after his Chinese hostage video.  That’s irrelevant to me because I have judge this film on its own merits or lack thereof.  This review is about Suicide Squad itself.This discussion will be reasonably spoiler-free.  I’ll do another one later in the week where I go into spoilers.This is easily the...
