By the time I shut down for the night I realized I hadn’t done a Morning Article Link or today’s comic review. My schedule got a bit goofed. When I’m done here I’ll get to work on the comic review. Tonight’s article is thankfully already done.
Birds Of Prey‘s marketing seems to be focused on Harley Quinn (with a recent movie poster not doing Huntress or the other heroes and villains any favors) and she’ll be in two more DC movies plus her own show on the DC Universe streaming service. It looks like Harley (or at least Margot Robbie’s interpretation, which is a whole other discussion given regular Harley’s toxic relationship with the Joker) is going to take over what should be ensemble movies featuring the Birds Of Prey, Suicide Squad, and Gotham Sirens in the theaters and it’s making one group wonder if maybe Harley is just going to take over as the new flagship of the DC movies. I wonder what that says for Superman (yes, I know what Bendis is up to…I’ll rant about it next week I’m sure) and Batman?
I’m kind of rushing to get this one out on time, so pardon any typo and grammar errors on this one. Disney knows their talking animal tales. From the mouse that started it all to their take on Robin Hood anthropomorphic animals are an important part of the Disney brand. Too bad they keep getting lost in the live-action remakes. No, I’m not counting the Lion King remake.
Zootopia (known as Zootropolis in a few countries) just looked like a really fun movie in a sea of films that seems to skew darker and darker. While it had a dark moment or two overall it’s a fascinating way to discuss prejudice and racism. I really wanted to see it. And a lot of the websites and webseries I partake of really wanted to talk about the ending, so the villain reveal was kind of ruined for me before I got to see it. I HATE when that happens to something I’m really looking forward to, which is why I’m upset the big moments of Avengers Endgame have already been ruined for me even if I’m not up on the specifics just yet. I expect that to be ruined too before I even get to Infinity War (my last Finally Watched was Age Of Ultron) because the internet hates me. I won’t ruin it for you but it is something worth talking about, so that’ll be a dance for me.
Note that I’m going with the Freeform airing of the movie so I don’t know if I missed anything.

Cover to one of the Far Side collections, (image source: Wikipedia via Amazon)
The Far Side was a fun and often silly comic strip that ran until 1995 and in some papers lived on in reprints as well as collected into trades. According to one report it may be possible that Gary Larson is returning to his strip as a web comic. Since the article doesn’t actually link to the site, allow me.
I have been on this story’s case a long time, haven’t I?
One More Day is a blight on Spider-Man. Love or hate the Peter/Mary Jane “Spider-Marriage” this is pretty much agreed upon. However, I often see blogs of hints being found that one day it will all be undone and the Parker family will be whole once again. Personally I don’t buy it since I don’t think the current staff at Marvel wants to undo it. In fact, given how many Spider-Man cartoons and movies not only start with Peter in high school but keep him there I wouldn’t be surprised if they were trying to find a way to de-age him as well. There have been Spider-Writers who thought Peter should never have graduated. Character growth’s for suckers. (Although nowadays so is proper character depiction but that’s a whole other commentary.)
That didn’t stop Fansided’s “Bam! Smack! Pow!” contributor Alex Widen from looking at the new Peter/MJ romance and assume Nick Spencer is planning to undo One More Day. Never mind that Mary Jane is going to Hollywood, or the tease of a Spider-Man/Black Cat marriage (because Felicia doesn’t care about Peter, just Spidey–MJ used to care about both, which is why the Spider-Marriage is defended), or really any of Widen’s evidence because what that evidence points to is at best a NEW Spider-Marriage. That is not undoing One More Day. The problems with One More Day (and I’m talking about the aftermath as an event not the story itself. I’ll leave that to Linkara) are more than the ending of the Spider-Marriage. Even Spidey fans who didn’t like the marriage take issue with One More Day. Restoring the marriage isn’t enough. So what does a story need to do in order to truly “undo One More Day”?
So did Paramount Comics do this with ALL the Enterprise Doctors?
