Mulder and Scully (song) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I’m not a fan of The X-Files. Too dark for my taste. However, there may be many fans of the series out there who haven’t heard that Fox is planning a six-part revival, complete with Mulder and Scully. Spinoff Online has the latest.
I’d be screaming too if my butt was on fire.

Saban’s Masked Rider had the potential to be a good show. Using footage from Kamen Rider Black RX, with a few scenes from the movies Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J to make up the space in the final, syndicated season, the tale of an alien prince who comes to Earth to stop his evil uncle from doing to Earth what he did to their home planet of Edenoi using the powers of a insect-like superhero could have been a good show. So why did it fall flat? That’s a review for another time.
Like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and VR Troopers, Marvel had the chance to play with Masked Rider but instead of its own comic, or joining together like the VR Troopers, Marvel only gave Dex and his friends a one-shot special. In some ways it may be better than the television show it adapted, but like other Marvel attempts to adapt Saban’s work it got a number of facts wrong. But how good is the story when they actually have a full comic length to write instead of half a comic like the Power Ranger/VR Trooper comics we’ve spent the past few Fridays going over?

Did you know they were going to make a video game about Steven Seagal? Or adapt Baby’s Day Out into a video that is worse than what I assume the movie is? (Oh look, Home Alone with a toddler. Unless his name is Sweet Pea, I’ll pass.) Cracked contributor Seanbaby looks at these and four other video games that never made it to store shelves…and we should be thankful for that.
