The Dark Herald Recommends Battle Angel Alita

REPOST 8/21/22: It had looked like there would be no sequel to this film but I'm getting some strong smoke signals that it will get green lit IF Avatar: The Way of Water blows the doors off at the boxoffice. Bob Chapek is secure on this throne now but he needs new franchises. Star Wars is dead. Pixar is dead. And Marvel while still profitable is trending downward. The golden goose is running out eggs, when...

First Impressions: Shulkie McBeal

The Incredible Hulk is one of Marvel’s longest-standing A-list heroes. Consequently, when licenses were getting farmed out to various studios by Marvel in the 1990s, Hulk was in demand and was snapped up by Universal. The licenses stated that ancillary characters went along for the ride. So, when Sony got Spiderman, they also got Venom, Morbius, Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy and you have figured out the rest. The Hulk got the same treatment, so She-Hulk went to Universal along with her top-shelf cousin. Marvel had...

Avoid Like the Plague: 1UP

Vaevictis eSports is a legend in the world of competitive professional esports. They are unquestionably the worst team of all time. They hold the record in everything from lowest score in a professional game, to quickest defeat, and thanks to Riot Games giving them way too many chances, the longest losing streak in pro gaming history. No one will ever beat their records because no one is allowed to. Any other team would have been banned for trolling before they were allowed to...

Ezra Miller is S-S-O-R-R-R-R-Y

If he gets really desperate he'll "find Jesus."For all that it matters here is Miller’s statement:“Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,” Miller says. “I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”The Dark...

The Dark Herald Recommends: Prey

Well, it isn’t the worst Predator movie.I have to give it that.I had to wait a little bit before doing this write-up. The reason for the delay was figuring out where this one falls in the franchise’s best of all time lineup. It genuinely does give Predator II a run for its money, and surpasses it in quite a few places but at the end of the day, I have to award this movie third place.I was honestly expecting it to be...

RE:View – Predator

REPOST: I'm doing a Recommends on Prey tomorrow so I figured I needed to bump this one up.On April 30th, 1975 Saigon fell to North Vietnam.The pictures of Americans being evacuated from the roof of the embassy couldn’t have been a clearer image of defeat for the United States of America. This was as close as America ever got to what France must have gone through in the Franco-Prussian war. Disgrace of arms. The men who had been junior officers in...

The Dragon Awards Are Dead

The Dragon Awards began as a rebellion against the Wokelings that ran the Hugo awards into the ground. The Dragon Awards is now the property of the Wokelings that ran the Hugos into the ground. That is because the methodology used to award a Dragon is in a word: Crap. There is more to it but we will look at the methodology first. This simple popularity contest favors people who either have a large enough fanbase to swing the needle OR a bunch...

Warner Brothers Commits to Ezra Miller

According to the Hollywood Reporter, (and they would never publish this without studio approval) reshooting the Flash movie with another actor is off the table. It will either be launched or scrapped and that is it. At this point, it is now clear that this movie will be released next summer unless Ezra Miller is reliably accused of cannibalism. With photographs. I just found out that Miller has been doing reshoots for the Flash over the summer. This absolutely means that David Zaslav is...
