Sony's Spider-Man Universe is dead after Kraven | Sony could have used Spider-Man this whole time
Просмотров 64214 дней назад
After a surprising report by Variety indicating that the rules of the Sony/Marvel partnership over Spider-Man film rights NEVER prevented Sony from incorporating Spider-Man into their 'cinematic universe' I have to wonder how and why they even made any of these films at all, and what it was truly worth to Sony to make what they did when they could have made films that incorporated either the MC...
Skeleton Crew Review | Is Skeleton Crew Woke DEI Slop? Or is Star Wars is back and fun again?
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.21 день назад
I have to say, I was not excited for Skeleton Crew almost at all but I'm thoroughly surprised how good and fun this show is. It fully understands what makes Star Wars fun. Skeleton Crew is getting reviewed well and it frankly deserves it. Ignore the nonsense culture warrior morons calling it somehow 'woke'.

Is your Hasbro Marvel Legends Giant-Man Haslab missing eyes? Mine Was.

This Hasbro Marvel Legends Giant-Man Haslab is an outstanding piece of toy engineering, and hilariously unhinged when you pair the right eyes and the right faceplate.

Alan Moore is right again about fandom making culture toxic: Alan Moore Guardian Interview 2024
Просмотров 4,5 тыс.Месяц назад
Alan Moore recently clarified and expounded on his thoughts from a 2022 interview in which he mentioned that super hero fixation has infantilized people and prepared a way for fascism. Here, he posits that fandom itself as a concept has grown toxic especially due to internet culture and as a result toxifying culture broadly in multiple ways. Regardless of where you fall politically its hard not...
Venom the Last Dance Review and Mid and Post Credit Scenes explained
Просмотров 3182 месяца назад
Venom the Last Dance was really a pile of wet weird goo, and if we're being honest as much of a Venom fan as I am, that's been the case for all 3 movies. This is definitely more of the same. In a universe where Venom, a shadow of Spider-Man is not born in shadow and is its own thing, not a simulacrum or dark reflection, what does it mean anyway? I also get into Knull and what he means for the r...

Some Spoilers. If you thought that having to write about the Joker getting SA'd was something I never thought I would actually have to write about, I would have agreed with you before this weekend. Folie a Deux might have been a good movie if it was just called 'Clown' or 'Comedian' or 'Arthur Fleck' but in as much as the first movies arthouse trappings elevated it due to its association with D...

Napalm Lullaby from Rick Remender and Bengal is one of Remenders Best
Просмотров 1204 месяца назад
Rick Remender's Napalm Lullaby is, like a lot of his work, a dark reflection and exploration of themes at play in our own world. What set it apart are a fast paced unpredictable story and every issue ends in a cliffhanger. It's a story about religion, sort of, conformity, sort of, and takes the 'dark superman' trope in an entirely different direction I'm not sure it's a dark superman story at a...

Woke crap
Gotta love fellow adults buying toy biz marvel legends figures
Alan moore is not a black magician...he,s one of the good guys.
1992 series is the definitive Spectre story, it covered his entire origin and what Spectre is all about.
I wanna make this short bc I keep trailing off bad when I type this out. What I always found fascinating about this story, and then other comic stories from Marvel, DC or whichever, and that’s that; Watchmen is supposed to be the realistic depiction of a super hero. I never took it as a statement saying, they are susceptible to fascism, or have fascist tendencies. I looked at the Watchmen characters as vastly different from each other. Compare the Minutemen to Watchmen. They’re much happier about what they’re doing. Sure it was still gnarly in their day. Things could still be grotesque and dark too. But they seemed like they were happy with the idea they were helping their citizens, saving them, and over all, doing the right thing. Then there’s Watchmen. Like the bratty children to the boomer age. They either hate masks, and are happy those days are over. Or their soul has been completely devoured by the NYC streets, and they’re now just a sick, disgusting hallow shell of a psychotic, vengeful man. The most unique one, being the man-turned super being who not only gets treated like a god, but essentially has god like powers. He loses his humanity the more time goes on. You get what I’m saying. The biggest thing I took from it was, in the real world. People can still wanna do the right thing. But being a super hero? It’s traumatizing. It will change you. Someone like Spider-Man will crack less jokes as time goes on. Batman probably will succumb to murder, and start with the joker by doing so. Superman will abandon earth one day, and leave it to eat itself. And the worst lesson of all. I learned that some people will dress as a hero, just to torture heart and take advantage of more and more people. The comedian reminded me of someone like Bill Cosby, in spirit. Someone who hides behind good agendas, to do bad evil deeds. I learned that the real world, is even too dark for a concept like Super heroes. But I still always believed in good man. I think the most powerful phrase a comic reader can think of, is “With great power” and you know the rest. Am I sayin go dress up and fight crime and shit? Hell no. I’m saying. If there’s ever a chance to do good. Any kind of good. Do it. Because maybe that extra dollar you by got, or the extra will, the caring heart, whatever it is that makes you passionate. That’s your super power. Use it responsibly.
The problem here is Moores argument is very generalized… any actively chooses not to elaborate on it
This is a reference to enjoying another video from my go-to person for DC stuff I'm ignorant of.
Praise tarn.
And they bring in the gay "Two Moms" in episode 3. Didnt take long did it?
Which is a problem to you? That there’s two gay women for 3 minutes on screen in star wars in another galaxy. Lmfaooooooo bro y’all are so easily triggered by the dumbest stuff
And you are triggered by a comment about two gay moms on your video when it asks if Skeleton Crew is Woke DEI in the title?!?! Wow you are triggered by the dumbest stuff. Could you be more self-deceived…. Or you are just don’t even know what woke and DEI even means..
Mike…did you not understand it was ragebait for people like you? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Also nice job posting bigotry under your government name dawg.
@ define woke.
@@TheDOOMCAST Wow, BIG vocab you got there butty. I almost had to google bigotry. Fortunately, it's used by people like you as much as Lil Wayne says n...never mind. I just thought I would show how gay your comment was about people being easily triggered as if you know nothing about how hard Disney has been pushing its DEI/woke agenda over the past years...to kids... I thought it was funny that you made this before episode 3, and also the fact that your comment to John about being triggered just shows you getting triggered. hahahahaahaHA Oh, and I don't need to hide behind a username from Big Brother or anyone else;). You're easy enough to find personal details about without your first and last name. Hello, it's 2025ish. It's Michael, not Mike.
If Alan Moore message is not getting across, why can't he just piss off and find another profession ?
Sony is great at making TVs andddd that's about it..
The guy fighting Supes was seen in a behind the scenes shot looking like Black Noir but with a “U” on his chest. Some speculation online that he’s “Ultraman”, a clone who will deteriorate into Bizarro.
It’s definitely possible however I’m dubious of that only because: Gunn is doing straightforward adaptations of anything he’s putting in. If he introduced Bizzaro my guess is he just introduces regular Bizzaro. If he introduces Ultraman I expect he’ll be from Earth 3 and lead the crime syndicate. It doesn’t seem like he’d amalgamate several characters if he’s putting a straight up dope deep cut Mr Terrific and Metamorpho. But then again I could be way off here. Although it may well be a straight up Bizzaro! Or, given the All Star Superman connections I wonder if it will be a character from that. Could this be a version of Parasite? Samson? Idk. I hate speculating too much but I love thinking about it and talking about it.
Thanks man for the breakdown. I'm not that familiar with the history so it's great to get your insight.
Hey thanks for checking it out. All Star is one of my favorite Superman stories so it’s great to see then incorporation of a few elements, and some of the best side characters in DC. Especially Metamorpho. I’m so pumped.
Hopefully this movie corrects the media perception on Superman 🔥
Homelander is up there with Voldemort and Emperor palpatine, pretty much zero empathy, no compassion, treats everyone around him like a pawn. In some ways he resembles Jimmy Savile, hiding behind a heroic mask while hurting others.
Such a disappointment. Its so hard watching these studios convert honey to sewage. Everytime they try to reinvent the wheel it fails. I wasnt even thjnkjng spiderman could have been in it if sony wanted
Sony has lost the plot.
@@CyborgSodaCollects i don’t think they ever really had it, if they could have used Spider-Man, any Spider-Man all the time? It’s embarassing!
90 percent of Superhero movies are cash grabs.
@@32roho honestly that’s true. Probably all of them to some degree. I’m not under the delusion that these aren’t products but at some points its just (pardon the pun) Kraven.
Every time sony releases a flop I laugh my ass off. they're even worst than DC at this point when it comes to filmmaking
Why laugh?
It was dead on arrival.
Anybody remember some anime where the robot pilots are showed when their die , for example cut in half inside the cockpit. It was pretty brutal , I never find out what series was . I was a kid then .
Its not blow your mind amazing but already 100x better than the Acolyte. Its geared towards the kiddos, but it's a nice little gap show until the next mandalorian
Media that is put out by Star Wars, HAS always been for mass consumption! Star Wars has ALWAYS had representation for various people and as times change, that representation has grown. This is good, even though it is a KIDS show, I am enjoying it.
@@mco5634 agreed! Just because something is for mass consumption doesn’t inherently make it bad. Of course, sometimes when that’s phoned in it definitely feels less fun and like a ‘product’. So it’s refreshing to enjoy this so much.
I'm enjoying it so far. Haven't lauged at mself vomiting like Acolyte.
the show is amazing , you are nuts
My family is enjoying it! Way way better than the acolyte
It's Goonies in Spce but I like it! 😁
This show has been delightful. This recognizes Star Wars’ roots while doing something different. Here, they have some naive, endearing and slightly annoying children that are thrust into an adventure. We have seen this before with Anakin, Luke, Ahsoka and Omega. What’s great is that we haven’t seen this type of adventure in Star Wars before. It’s showing the pirate element in a galaxy far far away and we haven’t seen too much of that yet. My hope is that we see growth from all of the children as time goes on. They can’t be the same people they were when the story wraps. Overall, I’m having a blast while watching this and I have some theories but we will see how this pans out.
Yeah dei woke kid wars is sooo greeeaaaattt. The soy is strong with this one
@@HonorableHarbinger alright I’m listening, what’s not working story wise? What’s woke about the kids specifically? Is soy something in canon or legends?
@@TheDOOMCASTone of the kids is black. That’s woke. And there are two girls. That’s woke.
You guys think it’s fun? Wow. I must be watching a different show. Those four kids are literally the worst.
@@jamesremington8056 I hear you. What makes them the worst?
great conent man keep it going
Fans can do some good. I'm a Browncoat. It was a fan based letter campaign that convinced the studio to fund Serenity. We wanted more. The important point is that fans receive and the artists provide. When Bob Dylan went electric, many "fans" dropped him, how happy were those who listened to the artist's new form of expression?
@@kakhipudhi absolutely. What’s the difference here? Tone and audience. With the Browncoat campaign, a GREAT example of positive fandom they POLITELY but enthusiastically asked studio EXECS to back a passion project, albeit by an already well known director. But my point, and I think Moores is, yes you can absolutely do good by making a civil appeal to the right people. But harassing actors? Getting into arguments on reddit or x or (gasp) youtube comments? Even making angry youtube videos decrying everything wrong with your fandom from casting to ‘wokeness’ or whatever…all that’s doing at best is appealing to an echo chamber, at worst making the entire fanosphere toxic and frustrating for everyone
Looks very interesting. Do I need to know any background stories before picking up this one? I am fairly new to the whole comic game ;) hahaha
Zach Snyder just skipped over the whole last book in the dark knight returns where bats says "these are the weapons of the enemy" and made a movie based off a misunderstanding. If he killed, the joker wouldn't be alive and Jason Todd would be. These people gave him millions to do it. Woof
Man the Skrull head would’ve been the absolute best for this! I was bummed that one didn’t get funded all the way up.
It's become tiring as someone who is pretty ideologically opposed to Alan Moore how much i have to defend him to discuss any of his work because so much said about him isn't even accurate. This is baffling as where i'm sitting Alan Moore is about as subtle as a hammer.
he's right about nothing, stop slurping him.
This is such a brain dead take. You and moore are clearly so sucked in to politics, and in your case hating rich people, that you have no clue what you’re talking about. Batman is not a billionaire. Bruce Wayne is, is Bruce Wayne Batman? No. As he said in the trilogy you criticize but must be unaware of “anyone can put on the mask” although normally we would see “cowl” instead of mask, that has happened more than once. From Terry Mcguinness to nightwing it has happened before. So much hate, that you either don’t know or forgot how to love these stories and characters in the first place.
You're a pleasant guy, "Whiny man children." Loser.
Namor looks similar to Kimi
It was a mixed bag for fans. You either loved it so much that you becale a fan or hated it to a point where you stopped reading xmen forever. I genuinely enjoyed it as my first and only xme era.
Fun fact: although Latveria is fictional, Doctor Doom is generally accepted to be of Romani descent, and RDJ has also played the most famous Romani actor of all time: Charlie Chaplin
I'm sorry folks but if you disagree with Moore about anything comics related, you need to accept the possibility that you might be wrong
I bet after the election he's wishing he wasn't so right.
All hail The Cryptkeeper! Yeah, I'm letting my freak flag fly by praising an animatronic anti-hero. I'm aware of his E.C. Comics origins. As an 80's child, my introduction to him was the great HBO anthology series. I make no apologies in praising a well written piece of fiction. Even its Cable Television counterpart. Took the time to purchase the complete DVD series. I occasionally pop one into the DVD Player and watch the uncut entertainment. Not really making a point one way or the other. Just wanted to say here in 2024 that some IPs are better left alone. Now, let's make sure fellow TALES FROM THE CRYPT contributor Robert Zemeckis stays alive so a certain trilogy doesn't get bastardized!😂❤
Alan Moore another one that believes his own hype.
I don't think "creators" applies to TV and movie producers and scriptwiters who set out to destroy source material that they are "adapting" because _they_ hate it, and hate its fans, while trying to make money off those fans. That's toxicity with real power, and it's just used to vandalise stories and offend fans as an aim in itself. That, and AI, is why Disney is dying, which, for the record, it has always deserved ever since it was founded by a noxious anti-communist, anti-semitic, racist bigot and world-historically shitty boss. Hollywood has been ruining traditional stories and crudely stereotyping other countries and cultures forever. This is just the current iteration of Hollywood ruining books, folkstories, myths, legends, scripture and nursery rhymes, through the combination of crass profiteering and ignorance. Where before they were stereotyping other countries and cultures, now they are stereotyping and aiming to offend and "re-educate" the domestic Western public using the full might of the machinery of cultural imperialism that resides in Hollywood, guided by the full weight of their multi-graduated-yet-badly-educated snobbery and contempt for the masses.
The good old days did not exist. That's precisely the problem with conservatism -- defending a status quo without recognition of its own negatives. Some people quit consuming superhero fiction when they get older and start seeing it as unbelievable. Some people just criticize the new releases as though the older works they idealize were more believable objectively and not just because they were younger at the time. Yet the fact is that some older people were critical back then of the same older fiction when it was new for the same reason that it did not live up to even older stuff. If you actually do try to create superhero fiction yourself, one of the things you find out is how difficult it actually is to produce anything that cannot be criticized.
Both sides have become toxic. Until a balance is found the industry will never grow and survive. Some fans need to chill out and grow. Pros need to realize not to antagonize fans who keep the industry on life support and just work.
First, when a system fails to serve the people -- they will seek to overthrow it. How will that revolution manifest? Like the American Revolution? Like the rise of the N*zis in the 1930s? Like the rise of religious fundamentalists in Iran? We don't get to choose. All I'll say is - it ain't magic. It's socio-economic conditions. And if you support a system that refuses to fix those conditions, then you are compliant in fueling the rise of that, as you call it "toxic ideology." Your logic is flawed on several points. You are engaging in a tactic often embraced by fascists. Slandering an entire group based on the actions of a few. (I guess you're also unaware of the Julian Assange emails which revealed a despicable tactic of corporations and political parties in which they hire marketing firms who employ troll farms to attack people with r*cist and s*xist vitriol, thereby giving the company a scapegoat. So, much of the toxic social media has been bought and paid for by the corporations they appear to attack.) And you say that people have the right to not like something. So what makes them "toxic." That they vented their feelings on the social media? You end talking about the "culture war." Which is not driven by dissatisfied fandoms. It's driven by mainstream media. Why? Because it's profitable. Platforming hate generates clicks. Eyeballs. Engagement. That generates ad revenue. And there's a great byproduct for the elite: having us divided and fighting each other keeps us from focusing on uniting to fix the real problems in the system. Health care. Affordable housing. Police reform. Things that polling shows VAST MAJORITIES of Americans want but don't get. Because the system is broken.
Does it ever cross the socialist mind that people don't want to live like they want to? You had me in the earlier part, i'm all for taking down the media and its ability to control the narrative. But i wouldn't stop there. As long as elitists exists they will use power to make things better for themselves. Other institutions deserve the same razing. You lost me when you just assumed we all should focus on things like policing and health care. Those aren't my values, you'd be oppressing me all the same as the current administration. Social anarchists and individual anarchists could get along so much better if you didn't pull cards like this on us.
