With everything coming out of the debate, this is like being thrown a softball. I'm almost certain that it won't even live up to my expectations, because honestly....how could it???
How do you make a comedy show based on real life, which in itself has become a comedy show?
I'm sure they'll knock it out of the park though.
You stay true to the source material. He's still in the Marvel universe and all that.
But most Marvel movies are rated PG-13, or maybe even PG. I know deadpool is rated R, but it's not really because of gore and graphic scenes.
I'm thinking a movie more along the lines of the Saw movies in terms of gore. The movie wouldn't center around Spiderman, and it wouldn't center around Carnage. Carnage would be the main villain. You might even have Venom in there at some point.
But the movie really would center around some small town. The kind of place where everybody knows everybody. I'm thinking maybe somewhere in Alaska. Just because I think the brutal cold could in itself be part of the horror. The fact that they can't just go outside for long periods of time. Maybe their cars are all destroyed.
But the ever looming threat is Carnage. I'd treat it like a more graphic version of the first Jurassic Park. The dinosaurs were only actually on screen for 18 minutes or so. The rest of the movie was about building up the suspense of what they're capable of.
Or like how Jaws, you never saw the shark until the last scene.
Carnage would just always be out there. Leaving a trail of gore, and blood, and dead bodies. That's why it woud HAVE TO BE rated R.
And Carnage just appears when he wants, and they're trying to stop him. I don't really have a story in mind, just the idea of that slow suspenseful tone, followed immediately by Carnage killing and dismembering, and leaving a trail of corpses.
Thoughts?
So, over on (a pirate site) I see they have Venom Wars #2.
Hey, great! I like Venom. But I'm not a regular comic book reader. I'm very much a newbie. So I figure "Well, thats part 2, I should get part 1 first."
And that's where all the trouble began. There's like 10 different comic branches all called "Venom Wars 1" and they all have different covers. And they all have assumingly different stories!
I just want to read a Venom comic book, where he does the Venom things! And now I see the description "The symbiot has bonded with Eddie, and his son Derek"
WHO THE FUCK IS DEREK??? I thought Eddie was supposed to be a high schooler in Peter Parkers class! How does a 16 year old have a son???
So now I'm REALLY confused! I feel like I need a comic before the comic to get me caught up to the comic, but only if THATS the comic I'm supposed to read, because there's also 10 comics all named the same thing.....and I'm not experienced enough to know what the fuck I'm doing.
I assume I'M the probem, with my lack of knowledge on the subject, but also.........what the hell even is this? I thought "Venom Wars #1" would be enough in the search bar to get me the comic to read about Venom.
I'm not even sure what "Venom Wars" is, but I assume it's Venom, having some kind of war from Venom's perspective with Spiderman, or maybe Carnage. Or whomever. But I assume it's a story told through Venom/Eddies perspective. But where do I start? I assumed #1 would be the start of the story.
And now I'm overwhelmed, and don't know what is going on.
So I'd like to start off by saying NOTHING I'm about to say is based on anything at all. It's just me making wild guesses with no basis in fact or reality as a wrestling fan. Just asking "What if...?"
Ok. So what if AEW Shockwave is a 3 hour show that goes live every Monday, and is broadcast.....ON NETFLIX???
That's right. Technology has never before been able to have two competing shows airing live on the same network at the same time.....UNTIL NOW!!!
Assuming Netflix payed peanuts for this 3rd show, they would have nothing to lose by allowing it on their network to directly compete with WWE. Because you either watch Netflix, and watch the thing they paid big money to get.
Or.....
You watch Netflix to watch the thing they paid next to nothing to get.
Either way, Netflix wins. And I'm sure WWE has some exclusitivity clause. I'm sure this is just me talking out of my ass. But can you imagine a modern day Monday Night War???
It's probably not that.
But what if they start airing a 2 hour show on FOX??? Taking the old Smackdown timeslot. It's been said that FOX major issue with WWE was their dealings with Vince. That wouldn't be a concern for AEW.
Plus they'd run the show at a fraction of what they payed WWE. They just trained their audience to assosiate Friday nights on Fox with Pro-Wrestling. The formula worked. They just overpayed for WWE. This rectifies that.
Or, what if it's a gameshow? Kind of like the first version of NXT where they had to do fitness challenge. Except on this version, they're inside an electrified steel cage! Just like that one WCW show from the early 90s. Or maybe they wear shock collars. So the losers get shocked.
AEW Aftershock!!!
I'm really liking the worth RetroMags is doing, and notice they have 16K members, so I assume it's about 4K active monthly users.
I'm wondering if to expand both their users, and the fedizerse's users, if it would make any sense at all to use the servers they use for downloads on a new Lemmy instance, that creates a seperate community for each magazine, and auto populates a new post in the correct community every time they post a new download over on their forums.
They don't REQUIRE membership to download, which is what this whole idea is based on. Since I assume it would be entirely too costly to have downloads on their forums AND a duplicate set of downloads on a seperate server. Seems costly given their massive scale.
Am I dreaming pipe-dreams? Or should I let them know about this idea?
I have been on a kick recently of downloading old physical media....digitally. Old stuff from my childhood. I've found a website where you can download scans of old video game magazines.
I'm also an obsessive completionist. I'm currently in the process of downloading every issue of Nintendo Power. I'm also downloading the scans of every official stratagy guide Nintendo put out.
Here and there I've also stumbled upon wrestling magazines. But never full collections. Just individual issues here and there. And while that's great.....I yearn for MOOOOAAARRRR!!!
Anyways, I'm looking for stuff in .cbr and .cbz formats. I think my reader can handle PDF, but I'd rather avoid it unless there's literally no other option.
I'm more interested in old magazines, from the 80's/90s, but I'll take any era. It''s all interesting. I just can't find any forums that post that kind of stuff.
So I just signed up for Mbin at Fedia.IO, and part of the registration says it will send out an email to complete the registration. Great!
It's been like 10 minutes with nothing in "all mail" and nothing in the trash or spam folders either. Is this something I need to wait a while for, or has something gone wrong, and I should contact their staff somehow?
