Static Shock and Batgirl Will Both Get Movies on HBO Max

We finally have some more news on the Static Shock and Batgirl films at Warner Brothers! In an interview with the New York Times Warner Brothers president Walter Hamada said that a Static Shock film with producer Michael B. Jordan, and a Batgirl film previously being worked on by Joss Whedon but now being written by Bumblebee and Birds of Prey writer Christina Hodson would both be coming to HBO Max. 

If you’re like me you grew up watching the Saturday morning cartoon version of Static Shock voiced by Phil LaMarr which ran from 2000-2004. But Static has been around since 1993 first appearing in Static issue #1. Virgil Ovid Hawkins was exposed to radioactive chemicals giving him his electricity based powers. During his time in DC comics Static has fought alongside the Teen Titans, Young Justice, and the Justice League. 

Looking Back at Thirteen Years On Youtube and Forward to What's Next

 On January 13th, 2018 we uploaded our first video to Wicked Good Everything. The channel was a culmination of months of planning and years of experience. Three years may not seem like a long time on the internet, and in truth it isn’t. However our youtube journey extends all the way back to November 2008 when Tamur and I uploaded a bad quality “Spoof” of Star Wars featuring Tamur and our friend Eric settling a disagreement via lightsabers. What always gets me about this video is the watermark plastered in the middle of the screen. Times were tough in terms of understanding technology and the only way we could edit was on a Macs, but we had to dump my camera footage onto a PC then use Flip4Mac to convert it to a file our Macs would recognize. 

Star Wars is Following In Marvel Studios' Footsteps and That's a Good Thing

Spoiler warning for The Mandalorian Season 2

When Disney+ launched so did the ambitious Star Wars TV Show The Mandalorian. After two seasons, the story of Din Djarin and Grogu (Better known as Baby Yoda) has become a bona fide hit. A hit that was much needed after the middling offerings of The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker.

Season 2 of The Mandalorian reintroduced beloved characters such as the former Jedi Ahsoka Tano (played by Rosario Dawson), Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) a leader of a Mandalorian group called the Nite Owls, Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamil)  himself. while bringing back Cara Dune (Gina Carano) Greef Karga (Carl Weathers) and Mayfeld (Bill Burr) from season one. These memorable and fun cast members really worked to make the series feel like a living and breathing world, intertwining with the original story while telling it’s own. 

From Lawsuits to Angry Gamers How Cyberpunk 2077 Cost CD Projekt Red Their Reputation

This blog post is a few weeks too late, but every time I went to write it another new crazy development emerged. I think that things have finally settled down enough to try and cover the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. 

First announced in 2012, it was in 2013 that the public was treated to a teaser trailer for a mysterious new game by CD Projekt Red, creators of the hugely popular Witcher video game adaptations. The game was of course Cyberpunk 2077, since that time the hype grew to a level that any game would have trouble delivering on. Fortunately for the Polish developer and gamers at large the game would be met with a decent critical reception. Currently the game sits at 86 percent on Metacritic.

The PlayStation 5 is Coming So Here are Some Thoughts

First and foremost it should be established that this blog is little more than exhausted ramblings based on first impressions.

We know you don't come here for that, in fact according to our numbers you hardly come here at all, so thank you for stopping by and enjoy our thoughts on the Playstion 5 reveal.

The Old Gods Are Dead on Survivor Winners at War

To commemorate their monumental 40th season titled Winners at War, Survivor brought back 20 former players. This is nothing new, as returning player seasons have featured heavily throughout the show’s history. Beginning with the 8th season Survivor All Stars and most recently with Survivor Edge of Extinction (though season 39 is a grey area due to Sandra Diaz-Twine and Boston Rob Mariano appearing though not competing), the show has often drawn from the pool of existing castaways when planning seasons using the popularity of former legends to draw interest from lapsed viewers.
