Double post.

NGL, I was never really bothered by how She Hulk looked but the tribute to Lou Feringno’s Hulk at the start of the latest episode looked good.

What the fuck

@Just Wayne
Yup, They made Bubbles kind of a bimbo

@Kiryu-Chan
What else would they do with a young girl in today’s media?

@Just Wayne
yeah. The script had a scene where Buttercup have sex with another person who is probably a random hook up based on the script.

@phoenixacezero
Oh god, it gets worse.

So She Hulk ends with he using her 4th wall breaking powers to break out of the Disney+ menu and go straight to Marvel Studios to meet the writing team behind the show and asks them to give her show a better finale

Also turns out the hear of the MCU is a literal soulless robot who makes all the stories to follow a strict formula based of algorithms

Subtle

@Dustcan
TBF Kevin has said he doesn’t like actually having to APPEAR on any sort of media unless it’s for interviews and stuff so they had to find SOME way to reference him. Also it was either the robot or having George Clooney play him. No I did not make that up

Please, just let the MCU take a half decade break.

@CaptainXtra
Then what else can we look forward in the next five years? NOTHING?!

and no, Spider-Verse isn’t enough

The MCU has released more content this year alone than all of Phase 1.

@CaptainXtra
I’m sure the underpaid and mistreated VFX artists would be more then happy with that.

@phoenixacezero
The third was making the most surface level, Doug Walker-esque parodies of every character. Like, Bubbles is the cutest of the characters in the original? Let’s make her a recovering drug addict bimbo whose entire character is based on relapse jokes. Buttercup is a badass tomboy? Obviously, she needs to be a butch lesbian stereotype whose sexuality is her entire character (and is notably the first one sexualized in the script). The Professor is a caring dad who created the girls? Screw that, he needs to be abusive and overcontrolling towards all of them.

@Just Wayne
Yup. Page five, Buttercup is instantly sexualized. Which, nothing wrong with her being a lesbian character, but it seems as though the CW only views lesbians as sex scene material for thirsty viewers. I’ve noticed this with their other shows too.

@CaptainXtra
Thank you! I agree so hard on this.

The MCU these days reminds me of KISS’s decline in the ‘70s. At the height of their career from 1974-1977, the band was releasing two albums per year. That’s eight albums in four years, which is a lot of KISS all at once. Then in 1978, they released five albums: the four solo albums and a best-of compilation, as well as starring in the infamous movie KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park and releasing a crap-ton of merchandise, placing their images on every product imaginable. That’s too much of a good thing, and even fans started to get overwhelmed with it. If they had taken a break for a year and given people time to miss them, their heyday as a band may have lasted longer, and I feel the same way about the MCU.

(Not that KISS weren’t still popular into the 1980s, but that was only due to an image rebrand and cashing in on hair metal, and then jumping on the nostalgia circuit in the late ’90s.)

@Hollowfox The Worst
Oh no, we want the company releasing literally hundreds of shows or episodes per year to take a break from one of its big properties. Whatever will you watch except any of the other hundreds of shows being released per year. Oh, the horror.

@icicle wicicle 1517
That too. When the creation and oversaturation of new media comes at the cost of people’s lives, maybe it’s time to take a break.

RIP Cartoon Network.

In other news I hear the she hulk finale was literally her breaking the 4th wall so she could complain to the manager. Lol.

@Background Pony #02EE

I have a mini scientific rant about Top Gun 2 where Tom Cruise ejected out of his hypersonic plane going Mach 10 and walked out completely unscathed. If that was realistically implied, his body would have been completely incinerated under the high temperatures outside at that altitude. The moment he would touch the Earth he’d end up looking something like this.

@Salamenace
It’s been gutted, over 100 people got their pink slips and has been absorbed by Warner bros animation. Cartoon Network as we know it is dead.

@Salamenace
Are there any cartoons still going strong there

@Background Pony #02EE
It’s not dead though. Yes, WBA and CN will be much closer together but the channel and brand will still remain. All the shows that were announced for the Network are still in production. Even though this scenario sucks, it’s better than everything, the studio and the channel, going bye bye.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Craig of the Creek is still getting its 5th Season (albeit the season order got cut in half) and Movie. We’re still getting Genndy’s Unicorn show among other projects. So, let’s hold off pressing F in the chat. That article CartoonBrew posted yesterday was spreading a lot of misinfo.

That is all over Twitter

Stop listening to Cartoon Brew. WBD didn’t pull an Entertainment One to Cartoon Network.

@Salamenace
Is Craig of the Creek any good? Maybe I’ll check it out
