Welcome to another edition of WEEK IN GEEK here at Fanboys Anonymous—a rundown of some of the events, news and stories that went down over the past few days in the geek culture spectrum.


Here are some of the topics I felt like voicing my opinions about:

Rumor: Disney Offers $4-5 billion for Spider-Man Rights

Take it, Sony. Just take it. Your movie ideas are garbage and there's no way you'll be able to survive screwing things up. Your reputation will be TRASHED if you take Tom Holland and Spider-Man away from the MCU just to put out your crappy Sinister Six film you've been wanting to do. It's not going to work. With these rumors that Apple may buy Sony, now is the time to sell, too. If that happens, the rights revert back to Disney anyway, for free. Sell now while you can get billions of dollars outright for it and a lot of good faith from the public that you can then bargain for more money from Apple.

Barack Panther Deep Fake

Check this out. Very well done.


I feel like deep fake stuff is equally super dangerous for fraud purposes as well as incredibly awesome to do things that we'd never have seen before. This wouldn't have been at the top of my list, haha, but it's still very cool. Now someone needs to get on something like Clint Eastwood as Batman and Tom Cruise as Superman and Jake Gyllenhaal as Spider-Man.

How is Titans Season 2 SO Much Better Than Season 1?

I've been sleeping on mentioning this, but goddamn, season 2 of Titans is a VASTLY superior show to the first season. It's like night and day. Conner, the most recent episode, was great. The one before that was even better. It's like they finally decided to be a Titans show instead of some weird offshoot horror thing.

Betty Ross May Return to She-Hulk TV Series

Liv Tyler could be returning as Betty Ross on the She-Hulk show, which is just awesome. I thought she was a great choice for the role and did well in The Incredible Hulk, and since that's still in continuity, they should have been referencing it here and there. Now that Natasha is gone and Bruce has come to terms with Hulk, they really should revisit the idea of him getting back together with Betty for good. He deserves to be happy.
