Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

For real though it's terrifying seeing the US creep closer and closer to fascism, the tiktok bill also allows the government to just shutdown any access to foreign websites whenever they want iirc on top of the VPN ban and stealing data. It's also scary that over 20% of the US banned trans youth healthcare and how like with the Black Panther party, republicans are now demanding to remove their precious right to a gun from minorities. It's genuinely scary and I fear for the safety of my girlfriends immensely

Israel is going through similar things. Currently it's just a threat and there are protests to combat it but the ones in charge call the protesters "anarchists" and I'm overall incredibly fearful for my LGBT friends.

Adult swim is apparently able to go pretty big if they want to:

- Adult Swim will be expanding to 7PM on May 1st
- CN shows are becoming AS shows.
- Warner and Discovery executives want more good Adult Animation
- 66% of CN's viewing audience past 6PM are 18 or older
- Genndy has full access to past CN works for projects

If they are loaning the library out to Genndy, then that means other creators might get fair shots.

With the Galactic Kids Next Door being pitched, Infinity strain, Pibby, the more mature Billy and Mandy Movie, these all have a chance to be greenlit now if this block takes off.

Allowing AS to play into nostalgia and give the creators the chance they have been waiting for to tell deeper stories with the classic shows of the network.

This sounds very promising and I think it’s a shift that could do big numbers on cable.

The Cartoon Network channel has been **** to me for the past couple of years. All they play basically now is Gumball and TTG and too afraid to expand their library. And all the crap going on with Warner-Discovery as a whole only makes it less attractive.

CN had a lot of catching up to do to win me back.

Gonna need to admit it...I'm siding with you here. All the Gumball and TTG overplay is one thing, but taking the place of Teletoon, one of the greatest cartoon channels there's ever been, is quite another.

Disney and PBS Kids absolutely solo CN as far as I'm concerned

Started Kaguya-Sama Love is War

They're sociopaths, your honor

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Also, we're getting a new driver...

Probably Bronze Pink Baby Peach.

 

[Wario Bros.]

The fact that the Mario movie is now less than a week away is almost unbelievable.

I'm so excited for it.

 

[Mamboo07]

Probably Bronze Pink Baby Peach.

Nope.

Spoiler: Look closer, something's behind the pipe...

 

[TheMightyP]

I don't got cable anymore so I don't watch Cartoon Network nowadays. That said, I'm not the target audience and that's ok, but I am glad kids are enjoying CN they way I did when I was a kid.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I legit want a Vs. movie between Cocaine Bear and Meth Gator. Hope Universal and Asylum does some deal to do that.

Movie fight of the century here folks. Forget Godzilla vs. Kong.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Japanese folklore would be boring too ngl

Sure but Id at least be a little bit more invested on my end

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Given The Batman is suppose to be doing a more "grounded" approach, I wonder how they're gonna do Clayface.

Man, I was really hoping for Killer Croc, the whole Gotham being flooded would have been perfect to use him.

The Court of Owls taking Mr. Freeze's wife, Nora to force him to work on their unethical experiments in search of a legend called the Lazarus Pit. Since the Court would want immortality to make sure their rule was set in stone.

Meanwhile Batman is still dealing with the Gotham City still being flooded and there had also been rumors of a giant crocodile man being whispered throughout the city. So that would be Batman's first act of investigation leading him to Freeze and potentially Croc as Victor's lackey, as he experiments in the sewers.

Plus, Mr. Freeze's powers and Croc himself, would arguably work exponentially well considering the flooding of Gotham.

TheMightyP they buffed the soda

Just to put things into perspective, this means you'll be able to grab a drink from tacticooler even if you're standing about this far away from it

Really love this "grounded" take on Croc if he were to be in Reeve's Batverse.

CN also suffered from losing many shows to tax and HBO Max (before they lost those stolen shows to TWD as well), but maybe down the line they’ll get back on their feet full time

 

[TheMightyP]

At this rate they're gonna spoil the entire Mario movie

 

[Z25]

Yeah this looks really bad for majors:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Literally this, she straight up said in texts it’s my fault you best me to him.

Straight up confirms that he not only hit her, but his team is trying to cover it up. On top of the fact she seems extremely abused.

Makes sense. It'd be tricky to hold an E3 with literally nobody present.
