Was It Agatha All Along?

I’m not so sure.The family spent the weekend at my wife’s parents. I do them love dearly and I’m happy to spend time with them while we still have them with us. But they have reached the age where they are fairly cognitively rigid. And they watch Fox news CONSTANTLY. They know that Fox is the enemy at this point, but they just can’t change their ways. However, this problem can be circumvented by the strategic use of children’s television. And they still have a subscription to...

Blogs and Ends: The Disney Downward Spiral Edition

The hits keep coming for Mickey the Great and Terrible. Their resources are huge and their stock prices are ludicrously over-inflated but they are too far down the Woke rabbit hole to be anything other than the biggest failure in the history of American entertainment. The only thing that has happened to Disney in the past year that wasn’t their fault is Rona-chan. Everything else that is collapsing on the House of Mouse they brought down on their own heads.Let’s startFIRSTThis has...

A Tale of Two Space Comedies

Generated by IJG JPEG LibraryIf you enjoy science fiction you frequently have to endure Lefty sermons on various subjects.Beloved Readers: And rain is still wet, Oh Herald of the Dark. What’s your point?It’s a premise, not a point. If you look for it, you can find plenty of right-wing science fiction in print but in the English-speaking world, media science fiction is dominated by Hollywood and the BBC. Neither institution is capable of producing anything with a Right-wing viewpoint. Occasionally...

Raya and the Last Dragon Bombs

More bad news for Mickey the Great and Terrible.(Let me start by saying this is an essay is not a review. I have not seen Raya and the Last Dragon, and I strongly suspect I won’t be getting around to it even after it’s free.)This was supposed to be Disney’s genuine comeback film. Sure, there have been a few releases since the plague hit town, but they weren’t the “real thing.” They weren’t a genuine effort to blow the doors off at...

Star Trek Update: 3/9/2021

I’m afraid it’s mostly bad news for Star Trek fans. A few months ago, I had said that I was certain that Star Trek: Discovery was hard wrapped. Secret Hideout couldn’t get any more funding. I’m afraid that has changed. Here is the background from my old blog:(A while back) there was an article in Deadline that said the newly hired president of the Paramount, Emma Watts claimed that her top priority was rebooting Star Trek. Alex Kurtzman's name wasn’t mentioned once in the entire...

Note for Codex

I forgot to include Speedy Gonzalez in my article on Trickster Heroes. He is being canceled again. Latinx's named Kyle Jimenez are pretty cool with the cancelation. But actual Mexicans are pretty pissed about it because Speedy alway beat the gringo gatos. He is their Bugs Bunny.

New Star Wars Book Features “The Rock”

Apparently the "High Republic," was referring to the writing process. They are doing the good shit at LucasFilm.Claudia Grey is the author who ended the big Zoom marketing push with a Vulcan salute. Which possibly explains where she came up with her brilliant edition to the High Republic; "Geode, the rock." For once I am actually quite curious as to what rock's prefferred pronouns are.This new character is literally a rock.Here is a situation where pictures are worth...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend WandaVision

Arr Maties! Captain Herald has returned from the high seas to tell ye a tale of…well…basic, acceptable mediocrity.So far that is all that Disney Plus has proven itself capable of providing. But at least they are still capable of delivering that. Given how converged the company has become it’s only a matter of time before even this low bar is beyond them.And that is all that Wanda Vision is. Acceptably mediocre. The fans came up with much more interesting theories than the show eventually delivered...
