Odds and ends 3-29-21

 Another day, another year... and Zack Snyder fans are still being toxic. Now they're review bombing Gojira v. KING KONG.

I only found 4 one star ratings related to the Snyderverse, but that's because IMDB has become aware of the reviee bombing and has been deleting the fake reviews with Restore the Snyderverse on them. Screen rant had many more than I did.

Don't be an idiot. You like the Snyderverse, fine. Watch the movie a million times on HBO Max. Buy the physical release when it comes out. But trashing every other WB property and dropping a Hashbrown RESTORETHESNYDURRVERSE makes you look like a toxic cultist. You're literally giving WB ammunition to their "Anti-Snyder" argument.

I just received a Turtles in time Loose Shredder Figure. It's arrival reminded me of the Pinball Crate that was supposed to be sold on Wal-Mart... wonder what the heck happened to it? Mostly because I need a cartoon inspired Shredder and this is the closest thing to one without having to give away my first born child.

Suicide Squad, not sure if it's a sequel or reboot looks interesting... in a good way.

It has characters, color, not completely depressing, and it dares to go OUT THERE  by bringing in freaking Starro... something that Zack Pizza Cutter Snyder wouldn't dare to do. Now watch as his toxic avengers... no relation to the Troma classic, will review bomb this movie too!

Calling it now:

"DuMb KiDdIe MaRvEl MoViE. ReLeAsEtHeSnYdUrRcUt" will be the gist of their spam.

If James Gunn's take on Suicide Squad proves to be a hit, then it could open up the DC Universe to some B and C list characters whose comics don't have a protagonist with clothes that reek of guano. But if it fails, it'll be for two reasons:

-WB being WB and messing up with the product.

-The cult boycotting it because it ain't a 6 hour long Zack Snyder snoozefest.

CW's Powerpuff Girls "spin-off/sequel" is going to suck. While the forced diversity bugs me, that's not the reason why it'll suck. It's the whole premise of them being 20-something washouts who stopped being heroes and now we have CW drama to avoid the standard PPG action.

Now I need to circle back to the "forced diversity" bugging me. I've said it before multiple times and I'll do it again:

Race swapping is wrong, period. White to black, Asian to White, Black to Latino, etc. If a character has a detailed description on the source material, then the actor should resemble the character as humanly as possible. Swapping races to fill out a quota is wrong. It's disrespectful to the character AND to the actor portraying the part.

With that out of my system, ley me circle back to the premise sucking:

I already mentioned the faux CW drama being a huge issue. This will change the premise of PPG and turn it into another CW soap instead of an action adventure show starring 3 girls. 

Fuzzy Lumpkins, Amoeba Boys, Him, Mojo Jojo, and Gangreen Gang just to name a few characters who'd eat up effects budget. Willing to bet that many of these might get a "Human disguise" in order to save money.

Also, what is it with "darkening children's properties" adding "sex and violence" in order to seem "mature"? That's not matire, that's an immature person's idea of "being mature".
