Are you sure it’s the editing and not just the content? Those dumb jokes don’t look like they were stitched together, it just looks like snippets of the scenes as they’ll appear in the show.

@ANoobis  
I’m sure the jokes are definitely in the show, but the trailer uses alot of quick cuts and rapid fire editing to emphasize them. It’s really weird, I don’t know who this is supposed to appeal to.

@Dex Stewart  
The quippy dialogue is all but identical in all respects to that of the MCU and Star Wars. It’s for fans of Disney humor.

GOD YES  

This thinkpiece from CBR reads as pure salt to me. Viewers liking Black Adam when the pro cabal doesn’t is dangerous for Warner, because they might get the idea that appealing to paying audiences is the thing to do.

@ANoobis  
That had alot of word salad and complaints about commonly expected Superhero flick tropes.

@ANoobis  
Tears so salty they’d measurably affect the Dead Sea.

Black Panther 2 is sounding abysmal so far. It’s sitting at 71 on MetaCritic and 87% on RT. If even members of the access media are giving it 5/10 and 2/10, things are bad. Even the good reviews aren’t always good, just given a good number to pump the score, since this one won’t be permitted to have a bad critic rating.

Terrible news: Kevin Conroy, iconic voice of Batman since 1992, has passed away from cancer.

@Zerowinger  
Damn. That sucks. The man was the only acceptable voice he ever had.

Some psycho had a massive meltdown on Twitter about the All-Out Avengers cover preview. She claimed it was pornographic and misogynist. It’s just Spider-Man doing his webbing trick to blind Captain Marvel.

@ANoobis  
They probably don’t know Spider Man shoots web. They may actually believe it’s something else.

Best comic cover ever
 

An interview on Spawncast is going viral. MissClick said that one of the interview questions for G4TV involved explaining to the interviewer why Batman should be cancelled. And that a follow-up question involved naming another comic hero that should be cancelled. The G4 reboot was designed to fail from before day 1. The politics that led to Frosk’s meltdown were a hiring credential.

@ANoobis  
Just remember, remember all the retards involved in it. Some have been given too much of a pass for their involvement in that and other woke bullshit. The Completionist

@Dex Stewart  
I hate that that makes sense.

 
Rumors are floating around that Jason Frank, the actor known for Tommy the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger has died.  
The rumors appear to have started from a relatively unknown Twitter account saying they received a phone call informing them. No official sources or relatives have confirmed the news at this time.

Sad if true. Given the guy said it without giving any kind of source and is ignoring all requests for confirmation, however, I’m inclined to think he was just being a shithead.

Official confirmation  

@Dex Stewart  
Yep. Just came here to confirm it. Apparently it was suicide. In the end, the green ranger finally killed the white ranger.

They’re making a manga influenced Popeye comic
 

 

@Dex Stewart  
That looks pretty good.

 

@Dex Stewart  
The amazing irony here is that that is the perfect influence to use.
