Ever curious about where advertisers get their music? Here’s a Variety article about one of the companies responsible.
So there’s the trailer for the new Harley Quinn movie. I don’t know where this Birds Of Prey trailer is I’ve been hearing about thought. Margot Robbie’s ego moment seems to have pushed them all aside and what they’ve done to Cassandra Cain and Huntress is just insulting to them both in just the bits we’ve seen. Huntress isn’t wearing her costume and you can already tell Cass is lacking her proper personality and is just Harley lite. Black Mask doesn’t even wear his mask, making his name meaningless. They probably should have gone with an original villain, but it’s not like they care anymore.
Somehow this got through but considering how many DC movies have sometimes never gotten TO the scripting stage, never mind past it, this is one of the lucky ones. Not lucky for fans of anyone who isn’t Harley but lucky just the same. Midnight’s Edge looks at a group of movies that were planned but didn’t get made.

It’s starting to look like the Ninja Turtles will crossover with anyone. You’d already had Batman and Ghostbusters and one more I’m forgetting. Now we have a preview for the crossover with Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (because heaven forbid we make a comic about the CURRENT Ranger team), who have been on their own crossover tour as of late. What’s next, My Little Pony?
It’s My Little Pony, isn’t it? The question is whether the Turtles or the Rangers will get there first. And will the Rangers get their turn with Archie?

Previously in this set of videos from the Cartoon Cypher on dubbing I wanted to post they’ve taken a look at specific dubs: Cowboy Bebop, Ghost Stories, and FLCL. The first was a dub that even sub fans seem to prefer, the second a gag dub officially released, and the third something that seems hard to dub because it’s just so crazy. They may have more dub examinations and I’ll link to their channel at the end of the review so you can find out for yourself, but I’m not going to post their entire library and I think we all get the point by now. Each dub has their own requirements and their own critiques, both positive and negative. I want to pull back now and look at a more general topic, since the final video in this set (coming in two weeks, so if you’re tired of this discussion just bear with me a bit longer) is also a general perspective on the ongoing debate between subtitled and dubbed.
One of the complaints lodged by sub-only fans against the dub even existing is that there are changes to the script between the Japanese and English version. When we get to the Japanese Beast Wars intros next week, barring external events, you’ll see it’s not exactly a one-way street with how they approached the series. While it has gotten better in some ways it’s gotten worse in others thanks to simultaneous dubbing so that US fans can see a new anime episode almost immediately after it airs in Japan, possibly to ward off fansubs until the official release can be put out. However, there are other translation errors to be addressed, and as the host points out in this video there’s a good reason to address them, changes and all. Note that there is a quick nude scene.
This the last of the reprints from Iron Man vol. 3 #46, the “100 Page Monster”. Next Marvel Tuesday we’ll see…an annual. We’ll have to wait yet another week to see what happened with the Sons Of Yinsen and Sun Tao. Sorry.
