So even the failed movies couldn’t #@$%^#$^ keep He-Man on Eternia. Frankly, I hate all of them, and the fact that one of them became that terrible 1990s Captain America movie just makes it worse because the dumbest one escaped to ruin a different adaptation.
So….turns out not only was the rumor a couple of weeks ago true, it’s much, much worse.
The Sun was telling us the Doctor Who Christmas episode was cancelled. Not everybody believed it given their track record, but I still discussed the benefits of that. The issue was no Doctor had been announced and the time to write, edit, make costumes, film, edit the recording, make all the graphics and effects, and then get it out was running out of timeline. Then a reporter at The Sun learned from a source that they were canceling the special. The BBC assured us that wasn’t the case.
With Disney+ confirming they will not be partnering on the next season of the sci-fi show, the BBC remain fully committed to the show and will announce plans for the next series in due course to ensure the Doctor’s adventures continue.
Lindsay Salt, Director of Drama, BBC said: “We’d like to thank Disney+ for being terrific global partners and collaborators over the past two seasons, and for the upcoming The War Between the Land and the Sea. The BBC remains fully committed to Doctor Who, which continues to be one of our most loved dramas, and we are delighted that Russell T Davies has agreed to write us another spectacular Christmas special for 2026. We can assure fans, the Doctor is not going anywhere, and we will be announcing plans for the next series in due course which will ensure the TARDIS remains at the heart of the BBC.”
About both of those things: no. Not only is the Christmas episode canceled, but Davies will not be writing for the Doctor at all, because even if the Doctor is not going anywhere, Bad Wolf Production is. While that’s the best news out of all of this, it still leaves the future of TARDIS in doubt, and points out they’ve probably been lying to us.
“Full length” is nine pages of 73?

We’re back to the comic that gave us DC’s arguably most powerful of the lesser known heroes. A issue or so ago, Plas asked the readers to push to give him more page time. It looks like he got it, but I wouldn’t call it “full-length”. Still, it means he got more time to give us a good story. Is that what we got, and does it impact the other stories that show up? One way to find out.
Well, I guess we’re doing this!
The world needs another live-action take on a popular cartoon like it needs an empty box of Scooby Snacks. Scooby alone has two theatrical movies, two made-for-TV movies, a direct to video movie that’s just Daphne and Velma…because, and I kid you not…a porn parody. At least one that I’ve heard of. I ain’t researching that #$%$, though I did hear it’s without Scooby. Thank God for small miracles.
Apparently movies weren’t bad enough. Now Netflix wants to do a full series in live-action. I want to say this is the dumbest thing they could do but I live in a world where Velma and the aforementioned porno exists. I could say “it can’t get worse” but I’m too smart to not know otherwise. With it still being produced we don’t know if it will be as bad as Mindy Kaling’s insult but we still have things we need to discuss. In fact, making the mistake of discussing this on X-Twitter (if you call me being called a “retard” in the first response to my post a “discussion”) is what’s bringing us here today.
Not that we are only going to talk about Scooby-Doo: Origins, though it will take up the majority of the article. There’s also some anime style Scooby to talk about, two in fact. However, we know what’s got the internet buzzing thanks in part to the video above, so let’s get into that discussion first. Then we can end on something potentially positive.

It should also be noted how the ads were integrated into the comics in old days, especially the Bronze Age comics I have. Most of the time they were placed where the cliffhanger was, which was meant to encourage you to turn the page. They even had a note at the bottom “continued after 3rd page following” or something. It was more like an ad break in a TV show versus wherever they feel like, which you see on streaming because they don’t coordinate the ad breaks to the show’s ad breaks. That could be partly due to writing for the trade since they don’t care where the story breaks the same way in a graphic novel as they used to for single issues.
