Fanboys Anonymous

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:

Godzilla vs. King Kong Pushed Back

The movie is no longer going to be released March 2020. Now, the target date is November 20, 2020. I'll see it regardless and not have the biggest expectations in the world, but if they're pushing it back, hopefully that's because they have ideas in mind to make it better. Sure. Go for it. I still don't quite know how you go from Godzilla fighting the multiple monsters in the last one to just King Kong when they're both "good guys" and all, though....

Nightwing on Titans

Finally, we got Nightwing on the latest episode of Titans. This season was SO MUCH better than the first season, and I'm super, super happy with the look that we got. Even though I feel like Dick is a little moodier and darker than I would have liked for this show, overall, I do think this has been arguably the best representation we've seen of the character on a show/film to date. Actually, the only one to surpass it is Young Justice...and I did like the way they had him on Bruce Timm's animated series, for the most part. But yeah, Nightwing was rad.

I do have to say, though, that Donna Troy's death was meh. The episode was rushed in general. I don't think we needed the Cadmus arc for this season, in retrospect. It would have been better to focus entirely on Deathstroke and save Connor and Cadmus for season 3. Then, maybe if they wanted to kill Donna, they could have done it by Deathstroke's hand or something. #Hindsight

Harley Quinn Episode 1

The animated Harley Quinn series is so fun! I loved the first episode and I definitely recommend checking it out.

I like the voice acting. I like the characterization as sort of a Daria meets DC kind of vibe. I really hope the next episodes are as strong as this one was.
