Series finale of THE BOYS was very good, if slightly underwhelming (still enjoyed it, to be clear). But if there’s anything I’ve gleaned from the discourse it’s that no one hates a show more than the “fans.”
20 years in the making...
Watch the official announcement teaser for upcoming sequel BEHIND THE MASK II: THE RETURN OF LESLIE VERNON.
The plan is for Leslie to return in 2027.
It’s not your expression, it’s a machine given words that it uses to create a consensus of how other people have expressed it. Expression is your voice, not the voices of others serrated and dragged through a machine made to mimic your mouth. You express nothing, you forfeit your voice to allow the rest of humanity to speak for you. Here, you even say the ultimate goal is the erasure of human voices. Your “expression” leads to a lack of humanity, not a furtherance of it. Every iteration and invention of art has found new ways to allow us to culminate the human experience through sensation, but generative AI is cancer, it’s the cells of what we’ve already built spinning ad nauseam until all we “make” is what others have already made. It’s a dead end and lifeless, and goes against whatever spirit, soul, or God gave us the gift of creation in the first place.
With the right team in place this has potential to be some truly phenomenal sci-fi. A lot of people don’t know just how fucked up Animorphs gets (like, seriously, this series gets *dark*), and I’m very excited for them to find out.
EXCLUSIVE: An "Animorphs" TV series is in early development at Disney+ with Ryan Coogler executive producing.
The series will be written by Bayan Wolcott and "follows a group of teenagers who uncover a hidden threat lurking beneath their everyday lives, all while juggling relationships, curfews, and the chaos of High School."

Even with the whole JKR of it set aside…
Meh.
Visually, it’s not distinct enough from the movies. I’m sure the kids will be great in the roles, but I (along with most people, I’d assume) can’t help but think “why are we doing this again?”
Happy Friday the 13th. It's now been 17 years, 1 month since the last time we saw Jason Voorhees on screen. The previous longest stretch of time between Friday the 13th movies was 8 years, 8 months.
