Don’t miss this one folks!

[Watching Skydance slash costs and cancel everything] This is probably good news for a legacy sequel to my 2005 R-rated superhero movie that didn’t break even and opened behind HITCH

[Jackson Lewis @JacksonForUtah]

This is the mentality that lead Biden to run for a second term.

We flipped 9 seats in *spite* of Chuck Schumer’s leadership.

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

Yeah, I love this show, but I kind of love it because it’s scrappy and underrated. I never expected it to get something like an empire magazine cover.

[Morai the Messenger 🦉 - AHSOKA S2 Updates @moraimessenger]

Is this the Doomsday thing? Surely they wouldn’t do a January issue for Doomsday after it’s been released? Though perhaps they would.

Either way, I predicted back when we got that small preview that AHSOKA wouldn’t be getting a cover issue. It’s unfortunate, but all the signs were there. There’s too much to promote and not enough budget to go around. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ladies and Gentlemen, the next head coach of Mississippi State

[On3 @On3]

BREAKING: Kamario Taylor is finalizing a $7.5M deal to return to Mississippi State in 2027, making him college football's highest-paid QB, @PeteNakos and @Clowfb report.

With incentives, the deal could potentially climb above $9 million.

This shit pisses me off so fucking much. We finally got a comic accurate Superman movie, a revival of the Green Lantern IP after nearly 20 years, the first Supergirl movie since the 80's, a bold body horror movie about a Batman villain, we had a universe with SOUL

FUCK ZIONISM

@baddestfella keep rocking my man ✊

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

@baddestfella like who is this for except you? good stuff

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

@baddestfella I like that you, like me, post for no one but yourself.

Looks like there’s now at least a name

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

Republicans have been flooding the zone with lawlessness, cruelty, & corruption.

And Democrats have a mandate to match their energy—boldly & unapologetically.

It's not enough to be the adults in the room. We have to prove that we are the FIGHTERS in the room.

[Popstonox @Popstonox]

Ayanna Pressley hints at a run for Speaker of the House against Hakeem Jeffries

"The people made it clear that they don’t want a Democratic Party that just asserts that they are the adults in the room. They want us to prove that we are the fighters."

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

Your take is far more shared than mine. I just think that Gilroy, Dave the coalition led by JH and Andrew Stanton LH and Jon Watts respectively all had new things to say with Star Wars. People just didn’t see it that way in large part because they were on tv

[Recovering Star Wars fan @RJSWtrilogyWhen]

@CPthreeio IMHO this is too kind to most streaming Star wars. Arguably everything we have got on D+ has contributed to the cultural fracking, even if one or two of the shows were good. There's just too much, and too much of it feels pointless.

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

I would say it’s 60% cultural fracking (the MCU plus BOBF) 40% the consequences of telling great stories in a failed medium (the rest of the Star Wars output)) the quality of shows written by people other then the man behind Cowboys and aliens are bold and new

[Darren Mooney @Darren_Mooney]

Cultural fracking in action.

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

The absolute balls to whine about cultural impact and 618 million when you make streaming sloplike fountain of youth and were running the worst major studio is obscene

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office.

• ‘Supergirl’ was a massive bomb this year.

• ‘Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked “pop culture impact” in their eyes.

[Josh Billinson @jbillinson]

I don’t think you really get to scoff at a $600M box office after running Paramount

[PJ • The Andor Guy • 🍂🧨 • @matpolloy]

Why is anyone surprised. The Ellison’s are evil awful people. Fuck Gavin Newsom for allowing this merger to happen.

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

The only quibble I would make is that the second attempt did have luck! Lanterns peacemaker two Superman and Clayface were all fantastic! It only didn’t have luck by the metrics of capitalism which are fake and not real to everyone but those with power unfortunately

[Scott Mendelson @ScottMendelson]

I went long(er) on why it’s highly unlikely that repeated attempts to create a tentpole-sized DC Comics cinematic universe will have any more luck than the first attempts did when the concept and the characters (Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Aquaman, etc.) were novel and exciting.

[Benjamin W Shrader @CPthreeio]

Oh, he’s 100% wrong, but one thing I do note from this is his presence on the set of Iron Man one. Could he lure JF to do a DC film? This would be huge win for me as a Star Wars fan who thinks TMG represents a high watermark for him, but also a ceiling!

[GregWatercoolerFFW @WatercoolerFFW]

Jeremy Latcham is mentioned a few times in @jowrotethis's excellent MCU book, but not a ton of evidence that he was as integral to Marvel as Ellison calling him part of the "founding team behind the MCU" would suggest.
