Hollywood Gives Up On Nerds

Hollywood studios aren’t exhibiting at Hall H this year. Fantastic Four, Superman, nope, nope and the same for other studios such as Lionsgate.

Is Hollywood OVER nerd culture? Is it just not worth it for them to do Comic-Con anymore with dwindling returns on franchises like Marvel and Star Wars? Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

Hollywood’s Gay Casting Couch

Matthew Lawrence, one of the child actors in the film Mrs. Doubtfire, recounts how his Hollywood agency fired him after he had refused a male director’s request that he strip naked in a hotel room.

The director, whom Lawrence did not name, was casting for a superhero role in a new Marvel movie. Here’s more from TruthIsKnowledge88.

Superhero Fatigue Is Real

Superhero fatigue is real, and it can hurt you. Here’s a rant from RazorFist.

Holy Balls, Man!

Elon Musk drops a 10-pound expletive after The New York Times dances around, trying to imply he has engaged in anti-Semitism. Wrong, leftists!

Musk just visited Israel and has made clear he’s not anti-Semitic. He’s against pedophiles == doesn’t matter if they are Jewish, Christian, Muslim or, more likely, Satanists and atheists! Here’s more from Meme the Left.

Here is a list of major companies that have pulled their ads from X. Boycott every one of these dirty outfits. They not only pushed Anthony Fauci’s deadly vaccines, but representatives from many of these firms hung around with Jeffrey Epstein, so they most certainly indulged in pedophilia.

Do not watch their TV shows or their feature films. As for the Washington Post, disregard anything they say. They don’t honestly report the news. They are little more than a mouthpiece for the Satanic elites:

– Apple
– Disney
– Washington Post
– Paramount
– NBC
– Marvel
– IBM
– Sony Pictures
– CBS
– The Colbert Show
– Comcast
– Lionsgate
– Warner Bros. Discovery

Who Could Defeat Superman?

Are you constantly arguing about who would win in various superhero matchups? Whether you’re a Batman fan, Wonder Woman gal, or don’t know much about DC Comics/Marvel at all, we’re sure Superman is a regular contender in your hypothetical fights.

So we enlisted the help of the greatest live-action Superman from the 90s, Dean Cain, to help us settle these arguments once and for all. Here’s more from Dean Cain, a former Superman, speaking in a Babylon Bee video.

The Major Problem With Marvel

I’ve got an idea. An entire dimension… where nothing we’ve ever said or done is of any consequence whatsoever!

…I call it ‘MSNBC’. More from RazorFist.

Captain America

Hey kids (of all ages), it’s Saturday Morning Cartoon time again!

The week before last, we covered IRON MAN. Third in our series on the MARVEL SUPER HEROES wheel show that hit TV in the wake of the company’s super-guy renaissance after HULK and THOR. But not all the featured stars were newbies. Some dated back to the pre-Marvel “Timely” era.

Well before the US entered WWII, comic books were literally draping heroes in the Stars ‘n’ Stripes to fight the Nips and Krauts. CAPTAIN AMERICA wasn’t the first of these, but he became the best-known. A 4-F, 90-pound weakling who got ‘roided-up with an experimental Super Soldier Serum, put on a costume, and wielded an invulnerable shield that thought it was some kind of boomerang.

In keeping with the established norms of 1940s masked adventurers, Cap had a teen sidekick (rather lazily named “Bucky” in and out of costume) and a secret identity to preserve. The latter seemed particularly pointless, as Steve Rogers served only to annoy his sergeant as a clumsy Army private.

Cap was featured in a 1944 Republic serial… Sort of. It appears the script was written for an entirely different character (some speculation as to which) and they just stuck the Captain America name and costume on the lead at the last minute.

Like SPIDER-MAN, Hulk, and DR. STRANGE, there was an attempt to bring an updated version of Cap to live-action TV in the ’70s. This resulted in two TV movies, but no series.

He got a notoriously bad live-action feature film in the early ’90s, which was mercifully forgotten when he was introduced into the blockbuster MCU AVENGERS franchise ten years ago.

Like all the Marvel Super Heroes ‘toons, Captain America is pretty much lifted directly from the comics. This episode from 1941’s CAPTAIN AMERICA #1, which introduced Cap, Bucky, and archenemy Red Skull. More from the OldHorseman.

Marvel Kowtows to China

Marvel is releasing a special, China-only edition of Iron Man 3. Way to sell out, Marvel! The Chinese edition will have special scenes specifically written to suck up to the Chinese government.

Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Co., made a joint announcement with Chinese media company DMG last Friday. The domestic, Chinese and other international versions will have similarities, but China’s will have additional prepared bonus footage made especially for the Chinese audience.
