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 Coming Streaming Collapse

Streaming has become a bubble economy.  And bubbles always go pop. The Warner Brother’s Discovery quarterly earnings report was, believe it or not, interesting.  In places anyway. The biggest place was reserved for WBD CEO David Zaslav’s little speech where he demolished the entire business model for the 2022 entertainment industry. The Unfallen Darklings who read this blog on the regular know all about my spiel on studios chasing the Twenty Billion Dollar Dragon, so skip the next couple of paragraphs.   A few years ago, the...

RE:View Young Sherlock Holmes

When my wife looked over my piece on Enola Holmes there was something at the end that caught her attention: “But if they (the writers) had let her first love die… If they had allowed Enola to fail. I would have had to have given it a higher rating.  It would have made this a much better film. It would have made Enola, alone. This would also have given her character a catalyst moving forward.  She had failed once and massively when it really counted at...

Yeah It’s Gonna Suck: M&M

No, I’m not going after the candy again.   You get a twofer today.  Ms. Marvel & Moonknight.  Both of them look like they are going to meet the same exacting standards we have come to expect from Marvel. I’ll start with Ms. Marvel.  Here’s her awful trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9EX0f6V11Y Of the two this one is going to be really bad. They appear to be trying to make it look comic-bookie which always go over badly if it’s not coming from a place of love and no one loves this...

Eternals is (or rather was) Officially Rotten

The Eternals was at 59% at Rotten Tomatoes (briefly). The SJWs absolutely freaked out over a deliberately and overtly Woke Marvel movie getting a certified Rotten rating at RT. Truthfully, it should be lower, a lot of fairly negative reviews for this movie are being rated Fresh. The positive review bombing started immediately, it is now slightly above Fresh. Just to let you know in advance. There will be no Dark Herald Recommends on Eternals. It's three hours long...

Kay Kay Deathwatch?

As of this writing, it is now Noon, Oct 28th, and Kathleen Kennedy’s contract extension remains unsigned by Bob Chapek. I had recently predicted that I was quite certain she would have her contract renewed.  Now I’m not so sure. When Bob Chapek won his battle with her over Star Wars a deal was apparently struck.  She would stop fighting him over Star Wars but in exchange, he would fast-track an Indiana Jones movie that she would have complete autonomy over.  She would remain as...

K/S To Be Made Kurtzman Trek Canon?

The OG of the slash fiction, Kirk/Spock gay porn, looks like it may well become a reality. The rumor, and it looks pretty reliable to me, is that Spock is going gay in Strange New Worlds. The unrepentant Kurtzman Trek shill site; Inverse.com posted a "testing the waters" piece declaring that gay Spock is not only workable in future stories but if you really, really think about it, his secret fabulous life has always been canon. Always. If they do...

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...

Disney Death Watch – July 2021

Well, I haven’t done one these for a while but today seems dismal enough for some Dismalney news. DISNEY PARKS There was a time many ages ago that Disney parks were getting pretty trashy and by that, I mean the quality of the people showing up was ruining the experience for people who don’t have fifteen rusting appliances in their front yard and drink cheap liquor out of Mason jars. Walt Disney had wanted his parks to be affordable to all.  Sadly, the quality of...

Blogs and Ends: What’s Wrecked Now?

What a fun game Hollyweird has given us with, “What’s Wrecked Now?”  And this time it’s not just limited to Hollyweird, Tokyo is included too. FIRST Bedrock Do you have warm memories of The Flintstones?  You do?  Yeah, Hollywood found about them.  They will soon be eternally tainted by the ever upwardly failing Elizabeth Banks.  Banks didn’t use to be that much of an SJW.  Or at least she was no worse than any of the other THOTs of Tinsel Town.   But that all seemed to change when her age...
