Another great week for DC Animated tv. I love seeing fanboys whine about changes, so Mxyzptlk is making me happy.

I stopped watching Superman and Lois because I didn't like Superman having a boss and also it seemed like the villians were always going to be other kyptonians.

(Also breast cancer) But does Superman still have to report to General Lane or some other US Government official who can tell him "No you can't do that"? That was the dumbest thing. Superman should not be bound by any nations laws because he transcends that kind of thinking, and does good for everyone because its the right thing to do. If Manheim is in it, does that mean the rest of Intergang is there?

For what it's worth, they're cutting the size of the main cast for next season and it sounds like General Lane is gone.

I haven't watched until shortly after Manheim is introduced, but Manheim is a rich business man in Harlem supposedly using his money to help the community, but also when Lois and Clark still worked for the Daily Planet they wrote tons of stories tying him to Intergang, but never getting enough proof for criminal charges, so it's implied he's still running Intergang. I was watching it as a fun show to watch with my mom but the cancer stuff turned us off since my mom is a breast cancer survivor and at the time she was spending a lot of time taking care of my aunt who was dealing with ovarian cancer. I thought what we saw of the cancer stuff was handled fine, it just wasn't the fun escapism we had been looking for. (My aunt is mostly fine now btw).

Disney has delayed some shows. What if? season 2 was moved to December, Echo to January, X-Men 97 to Summer 24 and the Agatha Harkness show got a name change to "Agatha: Darkhold Diaries" and won't air until fall 24. Ironheart, Daredevil and Wonder Man didn't finish filming so they're indefinitely delayed.

So I've been rewatching Cloak & Dagger on Disney+ and I just got to episode 7 of season 1. It's still my favourite bit of Marvel TV.

Loki is back and it continues to be the best looking Marvel TV show just from a production standpoint. Probably helps that just about everything is on actual sets and not just greenscreened/volumed.

The while show is just pandering to my interests. Hiddleston playing Loki ? My jam. A look under the hood of reality? My jam. Legitimately funny stuff, shot and written well? My jam. It's like they did focus groups, and then said gently caress it, make what mllaneza likes. Needless to say, I'm here for that.

Had to laugh when going on Twitter after watching the episode at how many other people also thought about Jenny Nicholson when they saw the Apple Pie Tree in the post credits scene.

bunnyofdoom posted:https://twitter.com/THR/status/1712105047696556106?t=UMWe9Hq0IJOoOGERMj88VA&s=19 the big takeaway is that Marvel is shifting to a more traditional TV production model (pilots, writers' rooms, showrunners, etc) instead of what they've been doing, which is the movie model of shooting the whole thing and then making changes in post-production. Lots of additional details in this article, including that Secret Invasion unsurprisingly had major behind-the-scenes troubles: quote:With Daredevil’s new direction, Marvel hopes to right the ship on a project with sky-high expectations. The show is Marvel’s first to feature a hero who already had a successful series on Netflix, running three seasons. But sources say that Corman and Ord crafted a legal procedural that did not resemble the Netflix version, known for its action and violence. Cox didn’t even show up in costume until the fourth episode. Marvel, after greenlighting the concept, found itself needing to rethink the original intention of the show. quote:As its shows ramped up during the pandemic, Marvel stepped outside its usual staffing approach and brought in outside execs after years of internally promoting creatives who had been sufficiently trained in the Marvel method.

SI had the evil minions try to merc their leader because he was unhinged and executed one of them. That's the most realistic thing that has ever happened in Marvel. Otherwise, a very uninteresting show

Star Wars' problem just seems to be that nobody really has any original ideas for the series and there's no source material to fall back on so they just wildly fluctuate in trying to pander to fan demand. Like, there's a reason why they're currently mining the old Expanded Universe for ideas.

Seeing as it wasn't the end of the series I'm guessing that this week's Loki is going to involve a do over of last week. Especially with all the murder going on.
