Going to keep things nice and light for this edition of Snark of the week, because I'm still recovering from a minor injury in my upper arm. I can draw with it, but I don’t wanna overdo things at the moment.

AEW: “The meh heard around the world.”
I'm sort of back into professional wrestling again. However, I'm only going to be looking at archive footage of anything before the year 2014; Mainly for character designs, attitudes, names and maybe outfit ideas that could be useful for character ideas in the future. The only real modern stuff I look at is anything involving Rhea Ripley, because she gives me a lot of ideas for Rhiannon.

But, I digress.
The only reason we're covering this is because a friend of mine has ‘very enthusiastically’ been telling me about this, so it’s been taking up space in my brain this week. I don't watch AEW either, so you can expect an unbiased perspective on the matter.

But if I am to understand this correctly: CM Punk was working for AEW for a brief period, got into a bit of a hissyfit with [wrestler whose name I've already forgotten], quit AEW and quickly went back to WWE; despite saying he had no intention of doing so.

Gotta love how Colt Cabana's Podcast has aged like milk.

In retaliation to some of his more recent remarks, AEW decided to show live footage of an altercation that happened backstage at one of their events, involving CM Punk and [Sir. Wrestler whose name I can't remember]. The footage however didn’t have the desired effect AEW wanted; resulting in online mockery and claims they’re dead as a company. I saw the footage in question and, to be honest, I’ve seen preschoolers get into more vicious fights than that.

If AEW really wanted to make a fool of themselves, they could have just hired Hulk Hogan.

Cinemacon 2024.
It is kinda sad we don't have an E3 anymore, because that was how WinneBobble got its big start back in 2012. Still, I've been hearing a lot of buzz about this Cinemacon, where a bunch of movie studios are desperately trying to fill.The empty cinemas now that we all rely on streaming services. I'm only going to cover what I've seen from Paramount and Disney presentations, because I can’t be bothered with the others.

Paramount showcased a brand new Star Trek reboot/movie thing on the horizon and I wish this franchise would make like Star Wars and go dead inside.

Next was a remake reboot announcement of the naked gun franchise starring Liam Neeson. Serious question here: Why in fuck are you remaking Naked Gun in the first place? It will be like remaking Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but you replace the Pythons with some the cast of Loose Women. You can't recapture the magic of the original, Hollywood.Get some new ideas for fuck sake!

Speaking of lazy ideas, Edgar Wright will be directing a Running Man remake. What a waste of that man's talent. South Park is teaming up with some guy called Kendrick Lamar to make a comedy series. I have no idea who Kendrick Lamar is and I don't particularly care to find out.

Due to the demands of absolutely no one, Paramount will be proceeding with their Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover. I'm gonna presume in the sequel to this movie, My Little Pony will be joining the brawl; Alongside Mask, Dungeons & Dragons, Battleship and the Power Rangers. Still a better lineup than Avengers: Endgame if you ask me.

Damien Chazelle is directing a movie about prisons. Maybe we could put the director of the upcoming Smurfs reboot in this hypothetical prison - because they fucking belong in one!

Two animated movies based on the SpongeBob and Avatar franchises. More power to you if that's your thing.

So remember that thing I said about laziness and leaching off the past? Well, enter the Scary Movie Reboot. I’ll freely admit the original Scary Movie was a fucking masterpiece.An absolute piss take on cheesy movies like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Yet as the series went on, it became less about horror and scary movies and more about things like the Matrix , 8 Mile or Spider-Man. The world needs a scary movie reboot as much as I need to be locked in a room with Sarah Silverman and one gun in sight… For myself, of course.

Then we got announcements for sequels of Smile and Gladiator. Yay, I guess?

Moving on to the things I do care about the announcement of a Live-Action R Rated TMNT movie adaptation of the Last Ronin. Hopefully I can actually read that comic before the film comes out.

Transformers One has been described as being “similar to the Minions franchise.” To steal a line from a different franchise: “I have a bad feeling about this.”

And finally more details about Sonic 3 came out, but with no reveal who's playing Shadow yet. All I ask is please don’t cast Chris Pratt and keep Amy a 1000 miles away from the movie. Thank you.

Moving On to the Walt Disney corporation: We have details on the return of theRevenge of the Rise of the Kingdom of the Planet of the Universe of the Galaxy of the Apes X 2 Turbo, aka: “Why does this fucking franchise still exist?” Look, I'm gonna be real with you, The only franchises I truly despise are Planet of the Apes and The Terminator franchise; largely because I view them as one and done stories that don't need any sequels whatsoever. But, as they say: “Hollywood's gotta Hollywood I suppose.”

Next is a movie called Young woman and the Sea, which seems like a decen-Oh wait, it’s Daisy Ridley. Nevermind. Moving on.

Inside Out: 2.
My interest: 0.

Alien Romulus finds itself in a similar position to both Planet of the Apes and Terminator: It hasn’t been good in over two decades, but bah gawd it’s trying anyway. I do like the first 2 films in the alien franchise, but they really should have stopped there. Will this new one be any good? Don’t know, don’t care. Next.

Moana 2 was announced. I recently saw the first movie and thought it was just a general OK. Lead actress/singer was alright, the Rock was awful and was a by the numbers Disney movie. Can’t say I wanted a sequel or a live-action remake. I get the impression The Rock was the only one pushing for it, since he has an ego the size of the African continent.

A Mufasa prequel was announced. Not entirely sure why this is being made as I seem to recall that live action remake of the Lion King to be incredibly polarising with audiences. Yet I have this horrible bet with myself it’s gonna wipe the floor with Sonic 3 this Christmas. Let's hope I'm wrong.

And now we come to the Marvel news. With the exception of Deadpool 3, everything they announced will be hated on by the Internet for not being Phases 1-3.

And that's basically it for the Cinemacon coverage. Stop being cowards and tell us who’s playing Shadow, Paramount!
