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:

Ford v Ferrari

I got a chance to check this out and surprisingly, I'd recommend it. I'm not in the slightest bit a fan of cars, racing or anything that would draw me to the movie and I still enjoyed it. I'll never watch it a second time, I'm sure, but hey, I thought it was worth my time.

Wonder Woman 1984 Trailer

The first one is MASSIVELY overrated. The DC film franchise has gone down the shitter and doesn't exist anymore. I'm over the idea of era gimmicks after X-Men and some others have run it into the ground for no reason. I don't get the casting of Kristin Wigg. They'd better have a good justification for bringing back Steve. And ugh..I'll see it opening night...

Crisis on Infinite Earths

- I haven't been into these shows for a while. I stopped watching each of them one by one over the years. But I wanted to see the cameos.

- They killed Oliver Queen off in that shitty way? That's it?? How lame. I'm very glad I stopped watching Arrow when they killed Laurel. Even with the whole idea of him becoming The Spectre, I'm still underwhelmed. He went out by just having a bunch of ghosty things nipping at him.

- The CGI hasn't gotten any better.

- I bet you'd be able to solve this problem if you had Batman on the team instead of Batwoman, and you had Green Lantern somewhere in there, and you had Wonder Woman, and you had....

- Kevin Conroy. THE Batman.

- Jason being Superman's son is a good reference to Superman Returns, as many problems as that had. I really was into all the little references here and there.

- LUCIFER!!!!

- Wait...they're making everyone have to wait how many weeks until the finale? Another reason I'm glad I don't watch these shows anymore. Yeesh.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife Trailer

This has a VERY different feel to it than I expected...and I don't know how to feel. It seems very much Stranger Things, and I love that show, but I don't know. I really hate the idea of this revolving around a bunch of kids and I'm just nervous.
