"But you see, Doctor Who and RnM have very similar premise..." i'm not taking about the plot, I'm talking about character designs. They literally look like character design from Rick and Morty.

Well, here's new Doctor Who... I have no words... OK, I have it literally looks Rick and Morty for kids.

Can aliens attack us just so humanity had a common enemy to fight against?

I feel like people should stop be shocked that a popular celeb said or did something problematic in the past. pre-2010s was not a uber progressive. A lot of people did stupid shit with little regard how it would age. This was the time R-word was considered a common lingo.

And like I said in the threat RED isn't even the first toku that did shared continuity or ongoing storylines in between seasons. Power Rangers did that and Disney era showed you can have that while still keeping seasons stand alone.

This is why I kinda roll my eyes when one of my mutuals said "Shirakura gets shared universe better than most of hollywood" cause my reaction was "does he?"

Also, for some reason in polish dub they renamed him Harry. I guess Heathcliff was harder to pronounce?

Can I confess that while I know of Garfield, Heathcliff is the orange cat I grew up on thanks to the DIC cartoon, and for the longest time I thought Garfield was the copy cat.

It's not called Gavan Infinite season 2 or Space Sherrif Omegahorn. It makes Project Red harder to jump into with any season in contrast to other tokus like Sentai, Rider, heck even Power Rangers, the one toku that actually did shared continuity.

Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 15h
It also just makes Gavan story intentionally incomplete, in a "don't worry, it's gonna continue in other projects" but it's not some mini side plot, but the main story with big ass cliffhanger. Plus for outside looking in, you would think Omegahorn is meant to be a sequel to Gavan?

Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 15h
Honestly, this is where my issue with Project RED in how it handles the shared continuity comes. Cause to watch Omegahorn and understand why Gavan characters show up, it's pretty much mandatory to watch Gavan Infinity first. And then it's a gamble whether or not you liked Gavan to keep watching it.

If that's the case honestly I would not be surprised if part 2 is gonna be the final Batman movie he would make in this series, simple to focus on his mental health.

Good, it should have never come back to begin with.

I'm just gonna say it again... fuck social media, and I wish we came back to times when forums was the only fandom spaces. The biggest issue is that it comes with no restrictions. There's no punishment for acting like a jerk to other people.

Again they took the extremist Megatron concept and imo it was the first time they made it work.

In college we used have classes about advertisement, and honestly, I wish he had a topic on making presentation about adds, cause then I could show all of these bizarre foreign ones.

That being said, the leak that they plan on making it into 8 MOVIE FRANCHISE, with the the first 3 being part of the trilogy, makes me think how hollywood studios learned nothing.

Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Hearing those leaks about Naruto movie, makes me think of Bordenlands movie. Visually it looks like a source material, but everything else just feels off. Also, for the record those are leaks, so I take their legitimacy with a grant of salt for now.

And then Batman took the Penny home. Why? That I don't know.

Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Since no one seemed to give explanation for 7 months, here's mine. Giant Penny was a reference to a Batman villain whose gimmick were coins... Penny Plunderer. Yes, really. The Giant Penny itself was a museum exhibit he tried to stole only to get crushed by it by accident. He's now in hell.

This movie now feels like a last hura to Warner, and last fuck you to Zaslav.

By default, this is honestly the best Power Rangers movie we ever got.

Maybe make Sinestro Corp, were Sinestro has his group off followers, but he's the only one that has yellow ring. Would have been more unique take imo.
121
Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Idk, I feel like Sinestro Corp and Red Lantern Corp are interchangeable to me, cause both of them are evil lanterns who rivals the green ones. At least Star Sapphires had the whole questionable philosophy on love making them more stand out as wild card corp.
120
Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Honestly, I think I'm starting to dig the idea of Sinister being the only yellow lantern and not do Sinistero Corp. Like, ok conceptually is not out of character for him to form his own Corp of followers, but idk if it's popculture osmosis, but we aleady have Red Lanterns.
120
Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Personally, I feel like Sinestro og design worked, where he is the only yellow lantern, with no corp.

Heck, considering the often theme of sentient life is finding identity, is makes so much sense to make it a trans allegory. It even gave me an idea for my own robot character.
020
Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I think what I like about MLAATR is that the trans allegory was very likely not intended, but it's written in such a way that it could interpreted as. I know people throw around the clip "writers who used subtext are cowards" but I think that's why cause it makes art interpreted in variety of ways.

If you want to make a goon design, it should at least fit the character.
000
Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
As someone who is a bit of a goon myself, holy shit, those "redesigns" are so embarrassing cause simple from a character stand point. Especially Mystique Taking women that are supposed to be in their 30-50s, both of whom are mothers, and making them into big booby models.

How to hell did one could make a take that's supposed to be woke, but then bounce off to sounding incredible convervative. "She's not written like a woman" alone should have been eye brow rising.

Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Ok, when someone talks like that, it's a red flag to me. Like, this is really disturbing to see people online no longer talk like normal people. They talk like cartoon characters.

Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I mean, there's also the aspect that GenAI uses pre existing art as assets to make it's slop, aka plagiarism with extra step. So, I think using GenAI even as a way to criticise it is still not a good idea, when you can just have someone make an art that looks like genai, like they did in Gumball.

I feel like how vtuber is like one space that's mainly populated by women, should have been an ultimate shut up to these dude bros. Even if you don't like vtubers and think it's corporate, this at least normalized women playing games as normal.

Scott the Woz expressed numerous times that he doesn't like RPGs, but he's not acting like annoying twat about it. I would rather listen to his song about how he doesn't like rpgs, over 10th chad rant about making gaming great again.

Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Basically, gaming can be enjoyed in one way and that's competitively and people who play for fun aren't the same as "true gamers. What's funny is that I don't think they're necessary wrong at least as an opinion, but they so annoying about it.

Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
What annoys me about gaming gatekeep is that I've seen recently coming from "arcade bros" who reject any modern games simple cause it's "arcade gameplay" and while there's A LOT of obvious issues with modern games, the way they are talking about it comes across as conservative and reactionary.

I'm just gonna assume it will be revealed he's not even May's son and it just something he told himself.

Also, why does he want Peter's life? No seriously, taking Spider-Man's stuff apart, what about Peter's life makes him so desirable. Ben at least made some sense, considering his backstory thinking he was og Peter.

1000 issue of ASM, really feels like it wasn't planned to be some sort of big celebration, it was just a regular story that happened to be set in 1000 issue. This is why the celebration is mainly carried by back up stories.

Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
This is so funny how they made such a big deal out of "May's secret son" only to reveal to be essentially in universe faux. It's literally a publicity stunt, and a pathetic one cause they don't even commit to it.

Considering PointlessHub's track record of covering failed Hollywood adaptation, I'm expecting him to make a video on Power Rangers 2017 eventually.

I like to think the cannon explanation for those fucked up Pokedex entries, is that they are in universe theories, myths and urban legend that aren't factually confirmed. I mean, we have weird legends like this in real world.

For as deservedly made fun off WatchMojo is, their "Superhero Origin" videos were often my way to know about many comic book characters. Or if you want less corporate example, a youtuber Chris McFeely did similar videos on transformers called The Basics.

while latter as ambitious but overproduced animated series that takes a lot of time to make and was eventually cancelled. And it that made think that there was a video series that are short summaries of character comic histories... and it was made by Watchmojo.

I recall Linkara complaining how Marvel and DC should have got videos to act like basic character histories for newcomers. He brought up two Marvel video series that try to do that. Marvel 101 and Marvel TLDR. He criticsed the former for being just glorified wiki page with just text,

I guess he hates "modern slop" more than he loves "goon material".

A game from 2000s sucked at dealing with LGBT issues, as if everyone in 2000s sucked at dealing with a lot of issues. Like, I get it, I've been watching Astro Boy 2003, and a lot of that show feels weird with the current issue with AI, but I also know writers did not expect how AI would turn out.

Mac, Spooktober 🎃 @mac48.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
For real though, as much as I acknowledge Persona 4 has a lot of things that did not age well, I think putting it under scrutiny, as if almost 20 year old game was made today with modern sensibilities, is honestly oversimplifying an issue.
