More Franchises

Anyway, it's apparently Comic-Con weekend, so there's all sorts of news and trailers coming out. I'm a little concerned that Greg Berlanti has signed on to too many comic book shows at once, though it is good to have more diverse heroes out there. There's even a Buffy reboot looking for a black female lead.

Apparently the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies got fired for his tweets. It was orchestrated by the right as more revenge since they didn't get Sam Bee and Joy Reid fired. Yet they want to claim this is about PC culture and outrage. It's disingenuous but I don't really care about that guy anyway, especially since he used to think it was funny to troll and shock people. I don't care, just like I don't care about loudmouth Bill Maher. I hope Disney takes the opportunity to find a new director who's a woman or minority because we need for diversity behind the screens, not just in the casting. More diverse writers too.

No trailer yet, but some artwork for the She-Ra reboot came out this week. People are complaining that she doesn't look like her old self. I understand the characters are teens now, so it makes sense not to depict her has an adult. Will have to see the new She-Ra in action to really tell if it's good.
