I think this pandemic has given my internet provider an excuse to fix their service. It's been working a lot faster than usual this past week. I can actually get online games going again.

This show looks genuinely funny. I might have to check this out sometime
I haven't seen much of the show but I adore this version of Bane.

absolutely love this show. Harley Quinn continues to walk down the path to being one of the top DC characters of all time

You know, when they announced that Diederich Bader was voicing Bats in this show, the Brace and the Bold fan in me was REALLY hoping they’d have Jeff Bennett do Joker. And I can’t help but feel those lines would be funnier if they were in Jeff’s joker voice over this guys weird mark Hamill impression.

Also, making fun of the way bane talked in The abominable dark knight trilogy isn’t funny. Isn’t just annoying.

No version of Bane will ever surpass how Gail Simone wrote him in Secret Six, sorry, I don't make the rules.

DC is just like every other entertainment company. When something gets popular they milk it for all it’s worth until the cow is long dead. And then they keep milking the dead cow until another cow gives birth.
Pretty much Spongebob, Ice Age, Family Guy, Simpsons and the MCU (More like McMarvel) in an nutshell.

Another way of putting it is dragging it through the mud or beating an dead horse.

It's only logical to reply to demand with supply. That doesn't have to cause creative bankruptcy.

Doesn't mean they have to degrade it notably Spongebob with episodes like One Course Meal and A Pal for Gary or Ice Age resorting to pop culture references and toilet humor or MCU now relying on the same formula and juvenile humor (Before Guardians it didn't rely on humor as much as it does now nor was it as forced or juvenile. Pre-Guardians MCU films had a good balance).

Otherwise if not for those I probably wouldn't have a problem with them.

Oh, I wasn't defending those examples you listed, though I highly disagree with you on MCU.

My point is you can keep providing new content for old franchises and still make good stuff.

Eh disagree. There comes a time and a place when some franchises should just end (MCU IMO should at the least take a break).

The Alien, Terminator and Predator franchises are notably also among those but agree to disagree I guess.

I would like this post if it weren’t for the mcu hate.
I don't hate it but I do at the very least think they should take a break (Especially given they're pumping out 2-3 every year) unless they they start going back to pre-Guardians humor or not relying on the same formula.

Which is why I got burned out by them.

I wouldn’t say it’s a Mark Hamill impersonation, doesn’t really give that vibe to me
I do find it intersting on how much DC is pushing Harley to the frontline recently.
Harley earned it in a way (poor Diana if she ends up being less popular than Quinn)

the MCU formula isn’t ever gonna break, so there’s no point in changing what’s been making them billions of dollars every single year since like...2012 (2020 would have a harder time continuing that considering...2020)

Oh yeah, happy Easter y'all.
It feels so different this year with the lack of church service and family things i'm always forced to go to.

By the time this year is over. 2020 will be remembered for the year and start of an decade where it pretty much sucked. I'm optimistic things will at least be controlled before the end of this year.

I know how you feel. Usually on Easter, I'm always forced by my mom to go with her to Sunday service. Then later, me & the rest of the family go to a local annual brunch event.

So it looks like all of the Bunny recipes together will sell for around 100,000 bells. Solid.

Keeping the Zipper toy and the wand, but **** everything else.

I don't reall feel like the MCU is being milked. Unless your a hardcore MCU fan, which granted a lot of is are, as a casual fan you're probably just keeping up with the characters you care about.

For instance my dad loves Iron Man and Doctor Strange. So he's only REALLY cared about The Iron Man Trilogy, The Avengers Movie's, and Civil War.

It's only being milked if you're going to watch every single one of these multiple interconnected franchises. If you only cared about 1 or 2 like my dad you'd be wondering where the ****ing **** Doctor Strange 2 is. That goes double for my Pawpaw who is a Hulk fan.

And, I think people are not understanding what the "Marvel Formula" people are talking about really entails but that's a whole nother essay.

Who wants to bet Sony or Microsoft will finally show stuff off for next gen this month?

Probably not. I can buy MS was waiting till E3 and will not speak till then. Meanwhile Sony seams to be pulling an Xbox One style launch.

For those wondering, JDCabrera deleted his current account. But I checked up on him on Discord. For the most part he's doing fine, but wants to focus on dealing with personal stuff, without getting too deep into it. Usually I don't post this kind of stuff since it isn't my personal business, but I figured people might want to know if he was doing ok.

Thank you for the update, my dude.
