| China May Ban Doctor Strange 2, but You’ll Never Guess Why… Posted: 02 May 2022 01:15 PM PDT
There were hopes that Marvel would finally break their streak of having their films not released in China, but those hopes are now in doubt for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The film has been submitted to Chinese authorities and the decision is pending, but the recently released scene showing part of the opening of the film features a newspaper kiosk that bears the name of an international multi-language newspaper and media company which opposes the Chinese Communist Party.
According to Deadline, China is upset over the scene below that features a newspaper kiosk with the Chinese characters for The Epoch Times. The newspaper is famous for opposing the Chinese Communist Party. It is receiving backlash over this, especially from those who support the Communist Chinese government.
The controversy is building on-line, and it would be hard for either the Chinese government or Disney to not be aware of it by now, though no comment has come from either. The first Doctor Strange film made $109 million in the PRC, but no Marvel movie has been released in China since Avengers: Endgame. That means the worldwide box office for Black Widow, Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and Spider-Man: No Way Home were all lower because one of the largest media markets was absent.
Speaking of short clips from Doctor Strange 2 that go by so quickly you may have missed them, in the latest trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, we see Benedict Cumberbatch's character visiting with the Illuminati and while we still have seen who is in that group, we get another shot of what is likely Professor Xavier's arm and his hover chair and then we get new footage of Captain Carter's shield being thrown and embedding into a wall of that same chamber. While we have yet to see Patrick Stewart and Hayley Atwell, both are making their presence clear. And we have yet to see who else is in the group, which may end up being even bigger surprises.
The Doctor Strange sequel opens this Friday, May 6th, in theaters everywhere.

| Public Voting For The Inkwell Awards is Open Until May 16 Posted: 02 May 2022 10:55 AM PDT
The Inkwell Awards is now open for fans and professionals to choose their industry favorites. The official public ballot will be available on the Inkwells' homepage for two weeks, from May 2 through May 16.
Voting is open in five categories: Favorite Inker, Most Adaptable, Props (inkers deserving more attention), The S.P.A.M.I. (Small Press And Mainstream/Independent for non-Marvel/DC work) and All-In-One for artists who ink their own pencils. The awards cover all printed American comic books cover-dated 2021.
"This year there's a new addition to our ballot," said Bob Almond, founder, and director of The Inkwell Awards, the only non-profit organization devoted to public education and promotion of the art of comic book inking. "In answer to myriad requests, there will now be sample images submitted by the nominated artists. This will help both voters and artists to hopefully make the process easier and fairer. The Inkwell core committee team and our webmaster Steven Freivogel spent much time and effort in discussion and preparation to make this work and we're confident it will help everyone."
He added, "Our nomination procedure continues to include inkers who submitted their work in addition to those chosen by our internal nomination committee. Too many ink artists are passed over and go unnoticed by most awards events. Ours caters specifically to inkers so they can be recognized and appreciated for their best work. We encourage all who appreciate quality artwork to participate and share on social media; the more voters, the better."
The internally-chosen lifetime achievement accolades, the Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame award and the Stacey Aragon Special Recognition Award (SASRA), were announced February 26th, separately from the ballot categories. Without a host-show awards ceremony this year, there are currently no restrictions on how and when winners are announced.
The Inkwell Awards is the only official 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to promote and educate regarding the art form of comic-book inking, as well as annually recognize the best ink artists and their work. Established in 2008, the Inkwells are overseen by a volunteer committee of industry professionals and assisted by various professional ambassadors and contributors. They sponsor the Dave Simons Inkwell Memorial Scholarship Fund for the Kubert School and host the Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame Award.

| ‘Ant-Man 3’ Bumps ‘The Marvels’ & Captain Marvel Stans are Pissed Posted: 02 May 2022 08:25 AM PDT
The Marvels and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, two forthcoming MCU films that were set to debut in February and July of 2023, have been rescheduled. The release date for Ant-Man 3 was originally slated for July 28, 2023, but has been pushed back to February 17, 2023. The Marvels, which was previously scheduled to be released on February 17, 2023, but will instead be released on July 28, 2023, is the polar opposite.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is set to properly introduce fans to Kang the Conquerer, touted as the MCU's "next big cross-movie villain," according to Michael Waldron, who served as the head writer for Disney Plus series Loki, where an alternate version of Kang the Conquerer first appeared.
Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly will reprise their roles as the titular protagonists, respectively, while Jonathan Majors will portray Kang the Conquerer as he did in Loki. Bill Murray will also feature in the film in an undisclosed villain role.
The Marvels, the sequel to Captain Marvel, will include the return of Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, plus Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan. Vellani will make her debut in the MCU in the Ms. Marvel series which will air on Disney+ in June.
The Captain Marvel stans did not take the news well at all.
Not everyone got the memo yet.
Do you feel that strongly about The Marvels? Or about ANY MCU movies? The post ‘Ant-Man 3’ Bumps ‘The Marvels’ & Captain Marvel Stans are Pissed appeared first on Bleeding Fool. |
| Comics Beat Editor Hates Green Lantern Hal Jordan for… Reasons? Posted: 02 May 2022 06:15 AM PDT
So-called readers who act as though fictional characters are real people they’ve met on the street are still around, and now, Joe Grunenwald, a managing editor for the awful Comics Beat, is tearing down on 2nd Green Lantern Hal Jordan along those very lines in yet another textbook example of the wrong approach, one that completely obscures entertainment value and creator responsibility for the sake of an unrealistic argument that risks blanket smearing much of the audience, no matter their own personalities. It begins with one of the most classically stupid insults:
And why? Because he didn’t have a personality any more than most other fictional superheroes created up to the late 1950s? This is so poorly written, and tragically not a joke, it demonstrates perfectly why Comics Beat is so irrelevant. But it also obscures the vital question of how good the overall entertainment merit is in the classic GL stories published until say, mid-1988. An era which Mr. Grunenwald apparently never bothered to read in any format, as he strongly suggests in what follows:
Now it goes without saying Gerard Jones, based on his illegal activities for which he’s still currently residing in prison, is a most abominable person. But the problem with Grunenwald’s discussion is he seems to be implying Jones’ crimes are the only reason why the 1990-93 material is sour, not because it was badly written, and filled with political allusions so tasteless, they made even the most questionable moments in Denny O’Neil’s early 70s stories look like pure masterpieces. Even if Jones hadn’t committed criminal offenses with child pornography, that still wouldn’t make the material he wrote palatable. Certainly, it’s possible not everyone would’ve reevaluated and concluded as much if Jones hadn’t been caught and imprisoned.
But having taken the time since to reevaluate his resume, I for one feel Jones was one of the worst omens that could’ve befallen the medium, seeing as he was an early example of a SJW who drained entertainment value for the sake of poorly written political metaphors, some of which were very startlingly contrived, like the part where the corrupted Appa Ali Apsa transports tons of heavy cityscapes to planet Oa to combine in a patchwork quilt for a leftist’s PC-laced idea of racial strife and co-existence. Why doesn’t Jones’ lack of talent count? People like Grunenwald are the reason Jones was able to get away with his horrible hack writing for so many years, because they believe fictional characters are the ones deserving punishment, not the real life writers/artists/editors in charge of the storytelling.
And here, our dreadful pseudo-fan turns to the classic insult to the intellect that the only way to make a fictional character they alone decide is “boring and bland” interesting is to change them from hero to villain, which is far worse than killing them off through grisly circumstances. This is practically the kind of twisted logic even civilian co-stars like Jean Loring from the Silver Age Atom fell victim to. So too in fact did Stephanie Brown/Spoiler in the Batbooks. Even Marvel, if you know where to look, has some characters who were sacrificed under this kind of sick logic with a most notable example of recent being the Scarlet Witch, during Avengers: Disassembled. All because of phony fans who likely never read the books in question, and never wanted any improvement in characterization and overall story merit. Suggesting that, if they did read specific books, it was out of spite, not because they sought escapism, let alone thought-provoking tales with educational value.
That’s certainly the impression I got from a would-be reader on a message board years ago, who seemed to take out his anger against Hal entirely because he’d read the 1989-90 Emerald Dawn, one of the worst “updates” to a character’s origin, and decided based solely on that, that Hal Jordan should be damned for eternity, and he allegedly read the Kyle Rayner run in GL’s 3rd volume out of spite for an imaginary character who was not responsible for any blandness that resulted from his characterization – or lack thereof – in said miniseries. It’s also the same mentality that, for better or worse, led to Jason Todd’s elimination in the Batbooks, though the difference there is that Jason at least died a hero, while Hal was changed into a murderous villain, which again, is much worse.
Once again, writers/artists and their talents – including John Broome and Gil Kane – are ignored in favor of the pretend-they’re-real cliche applied to the fictional characters. Does this mean aviation pilots are totally wrong for these roles because they have to muster considerable courage for the job they’re in? Do FBI officers and Marines also not qualify for similar reasons? And who says Hal didn’t earn or qualify for the role ahead, when here, Abin Sur scanned around, and found Hal’s personality to be sufficiently good for working as his successor? Worst, there seems to be some kind of contempt for the notion of having characters with admirable careers star in these tales. I’m sure if Clark Kent were Green Lantern instead of Superman, he’d immediately be subject to the same mentality.
Now, I don’t like Johns’ writing style. I felt his work alternated between being too violent and crude, recalling there were moments alluding to sexual assault in his stories that left a bad aftertaste. And let’s remember Johns later turned to social justice propaganda a decade ago when he introduced yet another Earth-based GL whose defining background was that he was a Muslim. But if Grunenwald’s saying there was literally nothing wrong with turning Hal into a mass murderer, even though this is a most offensive direction to take with a character I thought we were supposed to be rooting for, created by folks in the Silver Age with far more decent intentions than today’s far-leftists in charge, and that this should remain rock solid in place…that’s truly repellent.
Some of the commenters to the post replied with some valid points, such as:
Absolutely. But it’s also lazy to punish a fictional character instead of the writers guilty of bringing things down to such abysmal depths.
Another said:
It would be a blessing if these awful columnists would just stop talking about these characters they believe are real people altogether. The commentor has a flaw though, that he too risks approaching Hal as though he were real, considering he doesn’t stress the scriptwriters’ accountability any more than Mr. Grunenwald does. I must seriously object to way he’s alluding to John Stewart; it’s not John’s fault for a bland personality, but whoever’s writing him now. This reminds me, nobody’s ever complained how embarrassingly bad the storyline from Cosmic Odyssey was, where John accidentally enables the slaughter of an alien population, as though the X-Men’s Phoenix saga weren’t questionable enough in a similar vein. Oh, and while the commenter still didn’t improve much on his approach to references of John, he did go on to say:
Ah, now here’s something to ponder. Over a decade ago, Sinestro was turned into something more like a good guy prior to Geoff Johns’ departure, yet Grunenwald doesn’t complain about that? What, does a villain suddenly become more interesting when he becomes a goodie, in contrast to the hero becoming a villain? Wow…not only is that hypocritical, it’s one of the most bizarre two-sides-of-same-coin tactic I’ve ever known. But at least it tells what’s wrong with these journalism school flunkers. They root for the villains way too much! And there’s a valid point to find in this statement that the only reason these days anybody like the Comics Beat writers would rag on Hal is because he’s white. Would they do the same with John? Nope. Nowadays, whites are an easy target in an era jammed with political correctness.
Since I’d mentioned the lady lawyer who’d been a leading co-star in the Silver Age Atom’s stories, I also thought of commenting on this pretentious commentary from Women Write About Comics, supposedly panning Heroes in Crisis, but then botching it badly in a way that ignores Mark Gruenwald’s important point, “every character is somebody else’s favorite. You shouldn’t kill them off lightly, or worse, ruin their appearances in retrospect”, and even puts the site’s “feminist” credentials seriously in doubt:
Well well well, this is definitely telling. Considering Jean was meant to be an example of a woman who thought/stood up for herself, and was trying to establish a career in law just like Mary Jane Watson was a modeling/acting career a few years later in Spider-Man, it’s bizarre some so-called feminist, as I assume the writer is, would take such a repellent stance and say she’s perfectly okay with turning Jean into an evil, repellent criminal. I guess the reasons for this are that Gardner Fox and Gil Kane’s characterization for Jean doesn’t meet the selfish modern standards of the charlatan who penned this shoddy insult to writers and artists past? When they created her in the early 60s, she was depicted as favorable to marriage, but was only willing to do it after she’d built up her law career, and expected Ray Palmer to prove himself in his own career as a scientist. I guess openness to heterosexual marriage is the big no-no for these regrettably leftist PC types at sites like WWAC, huh? Very sad. And I honestly find it hard to buy this woman’s a fan of Wally either as a result, because what if he were a minor character, and turned into such an awful mess simply because he’s a straight white guy? Don’t be shocked if these phonies would turn their backs on him as well.
It should be noted that, if Mary Jane had been a minor cast member of the DCU instead of Marvel, and Ray’s girlfriend instead of Peter Parker’s, many of the people with lenient views on turning Jean into a murderous horrormeister would’ve been perfectly fine with that too, and I can hardly wait to hear them shooting off at the mouth denying it. Point: it would make no difference how the characters were written today; the people who turned their backs on the characters years before still wouldn’t read the books they appear in, and that’s why it’s truly awful DC/Marvel pandered to their twisted viewpoints. Lest we forget, Carol Ferris could’ve fallen victim to this too, and come to think of it, she did back in 1988, when, instead of reversing the Star Sapphire status, despite how the door was left open for it to be done, the editors made everything worse by shoving her in an atrocious GL story in Action Comics Weekly #601 where she was depicted murdering Katma Tui, who, last time I looked, was still in the afterlife. (And even Johns never seemed to reverse that. Some “respect” he’s got for Katma, huh?) Adding insult to injury was when, during the story, Hal started punching Carol at one point while they were fighting. It was absolutely insufferable. Christopher Priest may have admitted he regretted writing the tale years later. I certainly hope so. What really stunned me though, was that Kane was willing to illustrate such a monstrosity, though if memory serves, he bailed before the last part of the first storyline in ACW. I sure hope he too regretted his role in that horror later on.
It’s a terrible shame we still have an alarming problem with so-called experts in comicdom who take unrealistic views of fictional characters, and add insult to injury by punishing the characters instead of the worst writers. Even some of the audience responding to them are at fault for not pointing out the flaw in the columnists’ logic. And that’s why it’s exceedingly difficult to make the vital improvements needed. Hal Jordan’s not the only one, but as a fictional character, he has been one of the worst victims of this whole mentality nobody on the left’s apologizing for. And it’s very sad. Sometimes, I also find it infuriarating Warner Brothers botched the GL movie from 2011, where Geoff Johns served as one of the producers. Because of that, no more sequels were to be seen so far, and now, with all the wokeness abound, it may never be possible to do a GL movie with a white Hal Jordan again…unless the protagonist is retconned to gay, just like Golden Age GL Alan Scott was in one of the TV productions that may have been produced in recent years. Which just demonstrates how badly the wokeness has gotten out of hand.
But, if those 90s GL stories are really so important to the Comics Beat editor who won’t see the forest for the trees, then let me just say in fairness that I’d be perfectly fine with letting many of those stories enter public domain, seeing how awful they were to begin with, along with the ACW material. Then, Mr. Grunenwald, if he worked at a publishing company, could have the pleasure of working on reprinting them at his leisure, and marketing them to whomever he thinks would lap them up. Someday, public domain is the destination a lot of mainstream superhero tales are headed for anyway, no matter their quality.

| Spider-Man: No Way Home Director Exits MCU’s Fantastic Four Reboot Posted: 02 May 2022 04:45 AM PDT
Jon Watts has withdrawn as the director of Fantastic Four, the reinvention of the venerable Marvel Comics series at Marvel Studios and Disney, Deadline reports. Watts just directed Spider-Man: No Way Home, the Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios film that grossed $1.89 billion to become the sixth highest-grossing film of all time.
Nothing sinister here; Watts just needs a break from the superhero realm after completing the Spidey trilogy with Tom Holland and Zendaya. He had expected to make Fantastic Four his next film, the third feature iteration of that franchise and first since Disney acquired Fox, which controlled the franchise. Watts has spent the better part of the last decade directing and promoting the Spider-Man films, after being hired off Cop Car, a small-budget indie thriller that premiered at 2015 Sundance. He needs a breather.
Both Watts and Marvel confirmed his exit, and said that it is amicable.
Said Kevin Feige, president, Marvel Studios and Louis D'Esposito, co-president, Marvel Studios: "Collaborating with Jon on the Spider-Man films has been a true pleasure. We were looking forward to continuing our work with him to bring the Fantastic Four into the MCU but understand and are supportive of his reasons for stepping away. We are optimistic that we will have the opportunity to work together again at some point down the road."
Watts said that "making three Spider-Man films was an incredible and life-changing experience for me. I'm eternally grateful to have been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for seven years. I'm hopeful we'll work together again and I can't wait to see the amazing vision for Fantastic Four brought to life."

| Marvel Head Kevin Feige is Hard at Work on the MCU’s Next Decade Posted: 01 May 2022 03:25 PM PDT
Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, has said that he and the rest of Marvel’s braintrust are presently plotting the MCU’s next decade. Feige claimed that he is now in a retreat where the studio is hard at work planning out the events and projects that will take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe all the way up to 2032. He was speaking at CinemaCon 2022 when he revealed the news.
"I'm going back as soon as I get off stage to our first creative retreat in person with the Marvel Studios creative team in three years, and we have a giant board there that takes us through the next decade of MCU movies. And they are different, and they're unique, and they are special, and they are meant for your theatres."
Kevin Feige confirmed that the Marvel Studios team would meet in person for the first time in several years. The Marvel executive mentioned a “huge board” that depicts the MCU’s next ten years, something Marvel fans will undoubtedly be excited to see. Marvel Studios is notorious for planning far ahead of time. A tactic that has helped them become the modern cinematic era’s most feared franchise.
Beginning with the first Iron Man film in 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has since featured a slew of heroes and villains, many of whom have gone on to become cultural icons, and the MCU has steadily grown into one of the most profitable franchises in history.
What do you think they’ll plan? More “woke” films, or will they go back to what made Phase One so great? The post Marvel Head Kevin Feige is Hard at Work on the MCU’s Next Decade appeared first on Bleeding Fool. |
| Emmy-Winning Director of ‘Chernolbyl’ Attached to ‘Dune: The Sisterhood’ Posted: 01 May 2022 12:55 PM PDT
Johan Renck, the Emmy Award-winner behind HBO series Chernobyl, is to direct the first two episodes of Dune: The Sisterhood, Deadline reports.
The series, which serves as a prequel to the films, was originally handed a straight-to-series order in 2019 by HBO Max. At the time, Denis Villenueve, who directed and produced 2021 film Dune: Part One, was set to direct the pilot.
However, Renck, who is currently finishing up sci-fi feature film Spaceman with Adam Sandler, Carey Mulligan and Paul Dano, will take over that mantle and will also exec produce.
Renck began his career in music videos, including David Bowie's final two videos for Blackstar and Lazarus. He has directed pilots for series including Vikings and Bloodline as well as episodes of Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead. He also directed all episodes of Sky series The Last Panthers featuring John Hurt and Samantha Morton.
Dune: The Sisterhood, which is based on Frank Herbert's classic novel, is set 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides and follows the Harkonnen Sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect known as the Bene Gesserit.

| HBO Max Orders ‘Harley Quinn’ Spinoff Series about Kite Man Posted: 01 May 2022 10:25 AM PDT A "Harley Quinn" spinoff series titled "Noonan's" has officially been ordered at HBO Max, Variety reports.
The series will focus on lovable loser Kite Man and his new squeeze, Golden Glider, as they moonlight as criminals to support their foolish purchase of Noonan's, Gotham's seediest dive bar. Matt Oberg will reprise the role of Kite Man, whom he voiced on "Harley Quinn." HBO Max has given the show a 10 episode order.
The show is executive produced by "Harley Quinn" co-creators Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey, as well as "Harley Quinn" star Kaley Cuoco via Yes, Norman Productions. Sam Register also executive produces. Lorey will serve as showrunner on "Noonan's."
Schumacker and Halpern executive produce under their Delicious Non-Sequitur banner. The show is based on characters from DC and produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Halpern, Schumacker, and Cuoco are all under overall deals at WBTV.
"Harley Quinn" was renewed for a third season with its move to HBO Max, with Season 3 set to debut this summer. The post HBO Max Orders ‘Harley Quinn’ Spinoff Series about Kite Man appeared first on Bleeding Fool. |
| Why is Frank Miller Going into Comics Business with Dan DiDio? Posted: 01 May 2022 07:55 AM PDT
Anybody who’s a realist surely knew a figure as bad as DiDio wouldn’t stay away from the comics medium for long, much like Bill Jemas later returned with a venture called AWA, which seemed more like an excuse to produce comics intended for movie adaptation. But what’s really dismaying is that Miller would join forces with DiDio, as announced by the Hollywood Reporter (via Cosmic Book News and Bleeding Fool):
I vaguely remember reading Ronin myself many years ago, but can’t say it was such a big deal today. Though I must say, I had no idea Miller still retained the creator rights to the story, seeing as it was originally published by DC in 1983, some time before they launched the Vertigo imprint that became a creator-owned line, and I’d assume what was published under the DC banner at the time would’ve been under their ownership, unless they’d launched a special imprint like Marvel did with the original Epic line, which lasted about a decade, and Jim Starlin’s Dreadstar was originally published under that. But what’s galling about this news is who Miller’s partner is in this venture:
After all the harm DiDio did to DC in nearly 2 decades, this doesn’t impress me any more than learning Jemas would open his own publishing outfit. At worst, it suggests Miller’s got no real issues either, despite how, at the time Miller originally wanted to write Holy Terror as a Batman story, DiDio was the EIC, and obviously did nothing to back Miller any more than Paul Levitz did. Rather, since that time, DiDio oversaw the introduction of a politically motivated Muslim Green Lantern, authored by Geoff Johns. Ever since, DC’s become even more of a wokefest.
And here’s something fishy about Miller’s other recent ventures besides comics themselves:
Wow, does that stand for Young Adult? Well I’ve been aware Miller boomeranged back to the left, and practically made a point of Trump-bashing along the way, so maybe this isn’t such a surprise either. And he worked at ultra-woke Netflix, no less. What can I say? Here, Miller had a chance to take a firm path that’d defy political correctness, and instead, he groveled back to the left-wing, for all the good it did him if we recall how a UK convention shunned him.
When Miller does stuff like this, succumbing to PC and teaming up with unrepentant trojan horses in publishing ventures, it makes it hard to care what he’s working on now, since for all we know, it’ll probably turn out to be something hardly worth the effort. I for one am certainly discouraged from buying anything by Miller’s new outfit if DiDio’s in charge of the publishing, and I’m sure there’s other people who feel the same way. Miller really knows how to be a letdown.
