My favorite thing about this is these same assholes always said "South Park makes fun of everybody!" ... and now that it's their dear leader, they can't take it.

I always preached they make fun of everyone... and I meant it. I don't always agree with Matt and Trey, but they're consistent.

Been seeing more "south park isn't the same" on Youtube all because the new season is making fun of trump and never once did biden. They are just clear insecure losers who are pressed what a random cartoon says about dear leader than his actual political actions. Sad crybabies.

Didn't Lionsgate admit they don't have enough in their library of films to make training AI viable? How you gonna do it "legally while protecting artists copyright" when the only way to train AI is through massive theft?

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

Fans losing it over a Gargoyles/Darkwing Duck crossover are funny.

You begged for Gargoyles in Kingdom Hearts.

You already approved Goliath fighting Heartless with Donald Duck. Sit down.

Yup!

@crzydemona.bsky.social educated me about him the other day.

I was today years old when I learned that, back in the 80s, Tim Curry and Ian McKellan starred in a Broadway production of "Amadeus". And I wish there were recordings.

I understand that - but it has jaded me. I love the characters and the world. But I don't feel like Marvel wants me as a reader. Which is fine, I have my omnibuses, if something perks my interest, I'll check it out.

I am reading comics outside Marvel and DC right now and enjoying them.

I admit, it's not what I want out of the comics I read. It feels more like gimmicks designed for clicks.

I'm happier reading more creator-driven books. But that's just me.

These eyes should be a meme:

"Norman Osborn is Spider-Man now"
"Michael Bay is directing another Transformers movie"
"Mary Jane is the new Venom"

Demona is a jaded fangirl. Who knew?

Seeing the Mandalorian & Grogu trailer have people say "You know, the Sequels weren't so bad" really just shows how cyclical and performative this whole thing is.

The "We need to update his origin" crowd tend more to be the "I want to take this popular character and change him so that he represents my group before anyone else's" type...

I never understood the "we need to update Magneto's origin because he's too old" when you have characters like Apocalypse, Mystique, Wolverine, Mr Sinister and many other that had live for centuries at their peak physique, but it's too hard to believe with the holocaust survivor?

Marvel and DC should have dedicated video producers for their Youtube channels to produce long retrospective-style videos about various characters, which would serve as an introduction to new readers.

Tie it into new TV/movie releases - character in TV/movie? Boom, they've got a video ready.

It’s the Epstein files shutdown.
